“I’ll always speak the truth, even if it means taking a punch. You have an amazing body,” Jasper


    reiterated


    with sincerity


    He was probably the most ssy yboy ever, flirting around with a straight face.


    “Shut up! Stop talking!” Alyssa snapped at him. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes zed with


    anger.


    “Stay away from me, or I’ll castrate you!”


    “That’s fine. I’m not interested in having kids anyway. It’s not like I have a crown to pass down,” he


    replied,


    gazing at her in a daze.


    Defying her, he took a step closer. They could pick up each other’s scent at that distance. He


    confessed, ”


    I’m only interested in you, Lyse. Telling me to stay away from you is the same as killing me.”


    “Well, consider yourself dead, then! Bye!” She turned and stomped away indignantly with red cheeks.


    She knew Jasper wasn’t to me for the ident just now, but he shouldn’t havemented on her


    body in the first ce.


    It was no surprise that Jasper was friends with Landon; birds of a feather flock together.


    At that moment, Landon, who was holding Lauren, let out a loud sneeze. He wondered who was


    making


    fun of him behind his back.


    Jasper stared at Alyssa’s delicate figure. He could picture her pouting, which put a smile on his face.


    “Lyse?” A clear and strong voice suddenly rang out from behind her with a mix of longing and


    excitement.


    Alyssa froze and spun around. Tears immediately brimmed in her eyes as she dashed past Jasper to


    meet the person who had called out to her.


    “Miley!”


    ”


    “Lyse!” This time, Miley sounded more emotional and even choked up a bit.


    Astonished, Jasper turned around as well. He saw Alyssa standing with an elegantdy in an aqua


    pantsuit. The graceful yet powerfuldy embraced Alyssa tightly.


    Miley had long, sharp brows and delicate features on a full, radiant face. Her makeup was perfect, and


    her


    eyes shone with pride and determination.


    Somehow, one could see Mandy in Miley.


    Alyssa had called the woman Miley. Could she be Alyssa’s half-sister, the one who had moved to


    Kontina after getting married?


    Alyssa hugged Miley with surprise and joy, wetting thetter’s shoulders with her tears.


    “Miley, when did you get home? You should have told me. I would have picked you up at the airport.”

    “I arrived just an hour ago. I thought I had missed the party, so I didn’t bother telling anyone,” Miley


    exined with teary eyes as she caressed Alyssa’s back.


    “Well, I turned it into a surprise for everyone.”


    “Yes, it was a wonderful surprise!” Alyssa began choking up again.


    Miley studied Alyssa from head to toe in both joy and sorrow. “Lyse, I could barely recognize you from


    behind. You’ve lost so much weight. Your chubby cheeks are gone. Who did this to you? Did they


    starve


    you or something?”


    Jasper felt uneasy upon hearing Miley’s remark. He remembered Alyssa being adorably chubby when


    they


    got married.


    Over time, Alyssa, who had always been around him, had slowly lost the sparkle in her eyes, and her


    cheeks had sunken.


    The reason behind her change was the suffering she had endured due to the cold shoulder he had


    given


    her. He deserved to be condemned.


    “Ss used to call me round and chubby. He can’t say that anymore now that I’ve lost weight!” Alyssa


    shrugged it off and leaned on Miley’s shoulder.


    “I’m still pretty even after losing weight, don’t you agree?”


    “Yes, indeed. Our Lyse is the prettiest,” Miley replied. Despite being only three years older, she doted


    on


    Alyssa like a mother.
