Jasper insisted, “I will take responsibility for you. I will.”


    “I don’t need you to do that. Just let go of me,” Alyssa snapped, her warm tears drenching his


    shoulders.”


    Jasper Beckett, I hate you so. Don’t touch me!”


    “I won’t touch any woman except for you,” Jasper said in a shaky voice.


    “If you wanted to take responsibility for me, why did you divorce me? Why didn’t you take responsibility


    for me when we did it the first time?”


    “What?” Jasper was taken aback and puzzled.


    “You pushed me away when you should have taken responsibility for me, but you keep bugging me


    when I


    don’t need you to,” she seethed and bit hard on his arm when he was distracted.


    She so wished she could tear him into pieces.


    Feeling the pain, Jasper finally released her. She broke free of his arms and escaped from the study,


    leaving him frozen in shock as he reyed her words just now.


    His chest tightened when he recalled the pristine bedsheet. Knowing that Alyssa was a conservative


    woman, she had not slept with him during their three years of marriage and should have remained a


    virgin


    at the time of divorce.


    Last night was their first time sleeping with each other, but there was no blood stain on the sheet.


    “Why didn’t you take responsibility for me when we did it the first time?”


    Her words made sense now. He looked shell-shocked as he pondered the possibility of them having


    slept


    together when they were married.


    Why did he not recall it at all?


    He stood stiffly and went nk. Finally, he mustered up some strength to press a hand on his chest. It


    was at that moment he noticed the shattered ss on the ground.


    He approached the shards and crouched. He saw the broken frame and the photo of him with Liana


    from high school.


    Gripped by a wave of dizziness, he finally understood Alyssa’s reaction.

    Noire.


    Alyssa cowered in the car. In the chaos, she first thought of Jonah. She shakily dialed his number, and


    he picked up almost instantly. He was always attentive to his beloved sister.


    “Lyse, what’s wrong?”


    “Jonah, where are you? Come to me. I need you.”


    20 minutester, Jonah arrived at the scene in his Rolls-Royce, even running two red lights just to get


    there soon.


    “Lyse!” Jonah called out to Alyssa as he stepped out of the car.
