“Jameson Schmidt!”


    “Mr. Beckett, instead of using me without evidence, why don’t you consider how you’ll exin


    yourself


    to the Harpers? How do you n to rify this with your friend, Landon Harper?


    “Ms. Harper is unmarried. Given recent events, I believe marriage might be on the horizon for you.”


    Jameson smiled.


    “Jimmy, quit it. Let’s go,” Alyssa suggested. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart and had the urge to


    flee the scene. She needed to get away from Jasper-as far as possible.


    As they turned to leave, Jasper persisted, “Were you with Jameson the entire night?”


    “Yes,” she said coldly, her back turned toward him.


    “Alyssa, is he more important to you than me?” Jasper trembled despite trying to control his emotions.


    “Jasper, what’s the point of asking that now?” She chuckled, her eyes dimmed. “To be blunt, you’ve dug


    your own grave. I was lying to myself. Let’s call it quits now-I beg you.”


    With that, they vanished from his teary vision. Alyssa did not turn back at all.


    Jasper stood in the snow for a long time until his knees went limp. He fell onto his knees. It was then


    Xavier ran to him, panting.


    Xavier gasped, “Mr. Beckett! Where’s Madam? Has she left?”


    Jasper hung his head like a defeated soldier. He grabbed the ice cream she had discarded on the floor


    until it melted in his hands. Tears rolled down his cheeks.


    He mumbled, “She’s never trusted me. I don’t mind if she doesn’t have feelings for me, but how could


    she


    distrust me?


    “Should I keep going? Is there even hope?”


    Alyssa and Jameson sat in the back of a luxury car as it sped to the hospital. The air was heavy in the


    car.


    Jameson turned to her with a worried look. “Lyse, are you angry at me? Sorry, I did it because I was


    worried about you.”


    “You’re not to be med for my meeting with Jasper. You don’t have to feel bad about it.”
