“Lyse, 1- Jasper was cut off by a sweet voice.


    Rose purred, “Madam Alyssa, I’m sorry for beingte!”


    Alyssa turned around and saw Rose, which put a smile on her face. “Rose! It’s notte at all! I was


    worried


    you might be too busy with the Bastion Fashion Week to attend!”


    Rose ran over and gave Alyssa a warm hug. “How could I be absent after you invited me? Of course I


    had


    to be here!”


    At that moment, Rose noticed Jasper’s jarring presence, and her expression crumbled.


    She asked, “Madam Alyssa, are you going to sit at the same table as him? Isn’t it nauseating?”


    Alyssa shot a brief nce at Jasper and replied, “It is.”


    He was hurt by her words but remained thick-skinned, suggesting, “Lyse, if you feel sick at my sight,


    you can always look away.”


    He implied that he had no intention of moving to another table.


    Rose couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Jasper’s audacity.


    “I can’t not look at you. You’re gigantic,” Alyssa replied, chuckling at his words.


    “You can put on a blindfold,” he joked with her, enjoying her minor tantrum.


    “And how am I going to eat?”


    For once, the witty Alyssa had taken his bait. He leaned in and whispered into her ear, “I’ll feed you.”


    She felt an electric jolt spreading across her body and frantically pulled her chair away from him.


    However, he had predicted her action and held the back of her waist to stop her.


    “You-” she stammered and blushed, staring angrily into his deep and tender eyes.


    “Lyse, we’re just sharing a table. Please don’t leave,” he said to her with a frown and a longing look.


    Jasper Beckett,” she warned, grabbing his wrist tightly as a form of protest or revenge.


    She was unable to grab his entire wrist with her tiny hand, but she tried her best to make him feel pain.


    Again, he was stung by her action.


    She mocked, “I used to dream about having meals with you as a married couple. But now, the thought


    of

    He felt hurt and released her waist, a lump forming in his throat. He felt drained all of a sudden. “I’m


    sorry,


    Lyse


    “Let’s not spoil the mood at L’s birthday party,” she finally said with mixed emotions, attempting to


    shrug off their interaction.


    “You’re here as a guest, so just stay.”


    She seemed to show some pity for him. Even if it was just pity, he would seize the opportunity to get


    closer to her.


    “Madam Alyssa, do you know what happened? I ran into a dumbfuck on my way here. I was damn


    unlucky!


    Rose quickly changed the topic of the conversation to distract Alyssa and ease the tension.


    Jasper picked up the ss and quietly sipped on the water. Rose was a renowned fashion designer


    who sported an elegant and indifferent image. Therefore, he was surprised by her crude manners in


    front of


    Alyssa.


    “Is that so? Tell me all about it. I want to know what he’s done,” Alyssa responded, blinking her eyes in


    curiosity.


    Jasper choked on the water. Well, it seemed like he needed to take back his remarks about Rose’s


    behavior.


    “I got into a car crash on my way here,” Rose revealed, delivering a shock to both Alyssa and Jasper.


    They


    couldn’t fathom how she had brought up the ident so casually.
