Julien’s nose inched closer to the side of Jonah’s face. His warm breathnded on his defined jawline.
“Then, why don’t you want to get married? Even if you like guys, you can still get married. Same-sex
marriage is legal in Mosgravia.”
Jonah’s breath quickened as a numbing sensation tingled at-his fingertips like electricity.
The wine from his ss spilled slightly onto the wooden table top, resembling a small pool of blood.
“I’ve submitted myself to God, even my romantic life. So, I will never have a partner and get married.”
“God is gracious. He will forgive you for your reckless behavior birthed from the care of your sister. He
will also forgive you for using the alcohol to wash your sorrows away.”
The look in Julien’s eyes deepened. His hand brushed away the red spot on the back of Jonah’s hand.
“If you want to love someone, God will forgive you. Or, have you forgotten how to love someone,
Julien? It must have been a very long time. I can teach you…” 1
“I know how to love someone.”
Jonah lowered his gaze. Theplicated look in his eyes fell on Julien’s lush red lips.
“I’ve loved before. I know what it’s like to love someone. And it’s because I know how it feels that I don’t
want to ever love again.”
Jonah had loved someone before.
Who did he love?
What kind of man he was for a man like Jonah to fancy him?
In the spur of the moment, a strong desire and fiery passion filled Julien’s eyes.
As Jonah was getting up, Julien suddenly stood up and nted a passionate kiss ory
His heart was trembling so hard that he couldn’t help himself.

Alyssa didn’t end up with a serious injury from the ident. Her heart, on the other hand, was severely
bruised.
Jameson stayed in the hospital to care for her for a few days. He never left her sight.
She didn’t need his care. Yet, he insisted on staying. Even if he couldn’t do much for her, she wanted
Alyssa to see him every day and night.
Winston flew back from overseas with his wives. When hended, he received a phone call.
“It’s me, Uncle Winston.”
“Jameson?”
Winston was surprised. “Why are you calling me?”
“Alyssa met in a car ident a few days ago and is now hospitalized. I’m here at the hospital keeping
her
“What did you say? Alyssa was in a car ident?”
Winston’s blood pressure skyrocketed instantly. His vision blurred as his heart raced. “Why do I not
know about this at all? Why wasn’t I informed?”
“Alyssa insisted not to tell you. She didn’t want you to worry.”
“What a silly girl! How could she do this? Does she even take me as her father?”
Winston thought about his precious daughter alone on the hospital bed. He had no clue. He was so
furious and anxious that his face reddened. His heart twisted in pain.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Winston. Alyssa is fine. She should be discharged by tomorrow,” Jameson said.
“Sigh, thank you for telling me. And thank you for taking care of Alyssa. Let’s find a time. I want to buy
you a meal to thank you. Which hospital is Alyssa at? Is she at the Taylor General Hospital? I wille
and visit her now.”
“Uncle Winston, I’m waiting for you outside the airport. I will bring you there.”
Jameson paused and lowered his voice, adding, “I also have an important matter to discuss with you
privately.”
