Jasper Bollock was taken aback for a moment.
The group of women from earlier indeed annoyed him, but seeing Amanda Jenkins safe and sound had already lifted his spirits.
He had long since dismissed them from his thoughts, not taking them to heart at all.
He never did dwell on people or things that were of little consequence.
Of course, he was feeling somewhat emotional now.
In reality, it was because of Lucas Griffin.
That bastard, how could he leave her here all by herself.
"It's not because of them," Jasper said. "I saw you here alone, and you're not very good at taking care of yourself. What if you had another fit of pregnancy trouble?"
"That won't happen," Amanda gently caressed her belly. "I'm feeling quite good today, rest assured, I'm not that clumsy."
Even if Jasper hadn't caught her earlier, she wouldn't have fallen.
She wouldn't be so careless.
Protecting Jessica Griffin now was what mattered most.
