In the blink of an eye, Julien’s body tilted forward. He swiftly clutched onto Jonah’s sturdy shoulders,


    finding refuge in the firm hold.


    Responding with quick reflexes, Jonah intervened to prevent Julien from toppling over, firmly securing


    him with a grip around his waist.


    In that moment, the duo struck a pose reminiscent of a ssic romantic scene from a soap opera,


    leaving Axel, who stood nearby, in utter amazement.


    “Uh, sorry about that.” Julien’s cheeks blushed with embarrassment.


    Having harbored a lot of pent-up anger, Julien found sce in the embrace, his frustration easing.


    “No need to apologize. If anything, we should be sorry,” Jonah asserted without hesitation, effortlessly


    lifting Julien in a princess-style embrace.


    The unexpected move by Jonah caught Julien off guard, causing his heart to pound loudly in his chest.


    Julien recognized his penchant for indulging in earthly pleasures, engaging in flirtation with handsome


    men, and sumbing to temptation after a few drinks. These tendencies were how he had ended up in


    Axel’s hands.


    Yet, his sentiments toward Jonah in this particr instance took apletely different turn. Julien


    couldn’t help it. He raised his arms and embraced Jonah’s neck.


    “What the heck? What’s going on?”


    Alyssa happened to arrive at that moment together with Ss and Sean.


    Everyone was left dumbfounded by the scene before them.


    “Is the person Mr. Jonah holding a man or a woman?” Sean was puzzled.


    Ss was excited and eximed, “Wow! Could it be our future sister-inw?”


    Astonished, Alyssa turned speechless as she observed the scene.


    “You guys, take a closer look. It’s obviously a man!”


    Ss and Sean were taken aback, eximing. “A man?”


    Upon closer inspection, it was indeed quite evident. However, he had a slim figure and a face that was


    delicate and effeminate.


    “Well, that excitement was short-lived. I thought a man from our Taylor family was finally getting out of


    singlehood.”


    Ss sighed with mock disappointment.


    “Why would Jonah hug a man so passionately?”


    “Mr. Lovce, you’ve had a tough journey,” Alyssa greeted with a polite smile as she approached


    them.

    “Axel’s hospitality fell short. Allow me to make it up to you.”


    “Are you the Alyssa my aunt often mentions? Julien spoke in a cute tone, acting like a little princess in


    Jonah’s arms


    “Yes, I am Alyssa,”


    Alyssa remainedposed, her beautiful eyes curved into a smile.


    “Mr. Lovce, you must be hungry and tired after the journey. How about having a meal, showering,


    and resting for the night? We can discuss thingster.”


    Through gritted teeth, Julien said, “Ms. Alyssa, I warn you-this is kidnapping, and I can sue you for it.”


    Julien was still full of resentment.


    “I know. It’s our fault for not being good hosts. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. To make


    amends, how about having Mr. Jonah from the KS Group keep youpany for dinner tonight?”


    Alyssa’s statement left Jonah speechless.


    “If Mr. Lovce isfortable with it, Jonah can also help you with bathing and changing.”


    Alyssa’s cheerful and sweet smile seemed harmless.


    Alyssa’s reply took Jonah aback.


    Julien’s gaze drifted, and he swallowed hard.


    Everyone was stunned as Alyssa had just offered her own brother to Julien without even batting an


    eye!
