Alyssa didn’t expect Jasper to carry her to the room where she had lived alone for three years.


    Jasper’s original intention was to carefully ce her on the bed. However, her restlessness in his arms.


    led to a loosened grip, and she ended up descending heavily onto the bed.


    Luckily, Alyssa had not undergone stic surgery. Otherwise, her nose might have suffered.


    “You didn’t stay still. I didn’t mean to drop you.” Jasper looked down at her. Seeing her awkward state,


    he


    couldn’t help but find it amusing.


    “You bastard. You always find various excuses for yourself!” Alyssa muttered indignantly.


    She attempted to sit up on the bed. But the moment she did, Jasper seized her ankle, and he promptly


    pressed her back down.


    “Let go of my foot! Are you a pervert?” Alyssa quickly curled her legs. Almost revealing too much, she


    felt


    extremely embarrassed.


    Alyssa had a grasp of self-defense techniques, but from Jasper’s perspective, they seemed no more


    significant than her routine stretching exercises.


    Just then, Jasper’s grip on her ankle tightened a little. His calm gaze wandered from her blushing face


    to


    her rosy lips, slender neck, and alluring corbone.


    His breath hitched involuntarily. He could feel his blood warming as his heart pounded loudly.


    Suddenly, a needle-like pain pierced his head. He closed his eyes, pressing his temples with both


    hands


    to alleviate the sudden difort.


    “Jasper, it hurts. It hurts so much.”


    “Be good. You won’t feel the painter.”


    “I’ll try to be gentle with you, I promise.”


    Images Jasper had never seen before shed through his mind, apanied by amorous gasps and


    moans.


    It seemed like he had shared an intimate moment with a woman in this room.


    But how was that possible? He had never slept with any woman.


    Noticing Jasper momentarily distracted, Alyssa kicked him in the abdomen.

    “Get off me!”


    She didn’t use much force. Given Jasper’s muscr frame of six feet two inches, he should be able to


    withstand that kick.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    However, to her surprise, he staggered two steps back. He would have fallen if he hadn’t steadied


    himself against the wall.


    Alyssa’s pupils contracted, and she could see that Jasper had turned pale, with beads of sweat forming


    on his forehead.


    She hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Jasper asked hoarsely, “Why are


    you here for Sophia?”


    “It’s none of your business. I don’t need you to interfere.” Alyssa’s gaze suddenly turned icy.


    Jasper experienced a sharp pain in his heart as she regarded him as if he were a stranger. Gritting his


    teeth, he uttered, “If you’re here seeking revenge for L’s sake, I rmend picking another day.


    Tonight is not the right time.”


    “Why is it not the right time?”


    Smiling, Alyssa sat gracefully with her legs crossed. She showed off her dignified charm like a queen.


    “Oh, is it because Mr. Cornelius, Mrs. Harper, and your Zoe are all here? Are you afraid I’ll mess up


    your


    little arrangement?”


    Jasper furrowed his brows. “What arrangement?”


    “Your marriage discussion.” Alyssa smiled teasingly.


    “Alyssa! That’s enough!” Jasper’s chest tightened, his bloodshot eyes ring at her.


    “Congrattions, Mr. Beckett. You’re getting married again.”


    Alyssapletely ignored his anger and instead expressed her seemingly sincere blessing. “Ms. Zoe


    is


    young and beautiful, with a family background that’s so much more prominent than Liana’s. And she’s


    Landon’s sister, making it all the more familial.”
