Alyssa had her bath and did her skincare. Then, she climbed into the bed and heaved a quiet sigh.


    The past version of her wouldn’t have wasted energy on men. She likely would have gone out drinking


    and partying with her brothers without a care in the world.


    However, the conversation she had overheard between Jasper and Landon that morning had invoked


    many painful memories for her. She was no longer in the mood for anything else.


    She didn’t even want to see Jasper’s face.


    She knew that it wasn’t his fault that she had lost her child.


    Regardless, she still simply couldn’t get over it.


    Although she didn’t bring it up or think about it, it didn’t mean she had forgotten.


    A knock came on the door. Alyssa assumed Jasper was back to bother her, so she closed her eyes


    and pulled the covers over her head.


    She intended to ignore him.


    “Madam, it’s me, Rosie. Are you already asleep? If you aren’t, do your want to have some milk? I’ve


    warmed a ss of milk for you.”


    Rosie’s sounded warmly familiar and close. Alyssa jumped out of bed and wasted no time opening the


    door for her.


    When she opened the door, Rosie stood before her with the ss of milk she had mentioned earlier,

    Unintentionally, Alyssa’s gaze darted around the surroundings.


    Rosie could see through her immediately. “Mr. Jasper isn’t here. It’s just me.”


    Alyssa pressed her lips together in embarrassment. Then, she invited Rosie into the room.


    Both women chatted like a pair of mother and daughter. Rosie was sincerely concerned about how


    Alyssa had been doing recently.


    Rosie’s every word was heartwarming to Alyssa.


    Seeing that Alyssa had finished her milk, Rosie let out a satisfied smile. She pulled her by the hand and


    sat her down on the sofa.


    “Madam, Mr. Jasper has shared many things with me.”


    Alyssa was taken aback. She blurted, “Including how Sophia set things up to cause Anne’s death?”


    Rosie’s eyes widened. Suddenly, her palms became mmy with cold sweat, and she tightened her


    grip on Alyssa.


    “Is it true? Is it true that Sophia was the one who did that?”


    Alyssa could tell that Jasper was selective in his sharing. He only told her the less-significant news and


    didn’t mention this important matter to her.


    She felt a little bad as her carelessness with her words seemed to have wasted his efforts.


    Rosie let out a number of consecutive sighs. Her eyes turned red.


    She uttered, “Actually, I’ve long ago suspected her. Other than Sophia, who else would have had the


    opportunity to do something like that to Madam Anne at that time? Liana and Betty were still kids back


    then.


    How could they havemitted any murder?”


    The look in Alyssa’s eyes gradually turned dim.


    Who was to say that children couldn’t do evil?


    Although Liana and Betty didn’t have the capability to set up such a


    sinister plot for Sophia in the past, they had gone out to spread


    malicious rumors about Anne.


    That caused Anne, who was already suffering from severe depression, to plunge into extreme


    humiliation and pain.


    Some kids were not innocent at all. They were just little devils.


    “But, Madam, that is just my spection. I do not have any proof,” Rosie rified.


    Tears began to roll down Rosie’s cheeks. Her heart ached. She ridden with guilt.


    “Back then, I would have been put into a difficult position if I had voiced out that Sophia had something


    to do with Madam Anne’s. death. Mr. Jasper was still young at the time. What would have. happened to


    him after Madam Anne’s passing?


    “I promised Madam Anne to take care of Mr. Jasper as if he were my own son until he grew up. If I


    could no longer stay with the Beckett family, I would just be making his plight even worse!”


    “Now that it hase to this, Mrs. Rosie, there is something that I want to ask you.”


    Alyssa finally got a chance to ask the question she had kept hidden in her heart all these years.


    “What did Jasper go through when he was young? Could you tell me?”


    Rosie hid nothing from her, disclosing everything to her one by one.


    This was because she understood that Alyssa still had her guard up against Jasper, causing her to


    treat him with a mix of coldness and warmth at times.


    Alyssa could only bepletely understanding and considerate of Jasper if she had an absolute


    understanding of him.


    She believed that this would be a boost to their rtionship, which was finally starting to progress.


    Thus, Rosie recounted how Jasper and his mother stayed in the slums when he was young. She told


    her about how they were oppressed and how he had to care for his gravely ill mother.


    Rosie also shared how Javier had brought Jasper back home and how Jasper was treated with disdain


    and neglect in the Beckett family.


    Lastly, she described how Jasper suffered from major depressive disorder for some time when he was


    young due to his mother’s death. She even told her about the time when he attempted suicide by


    slitting his wrist in the bathroom.


    Alyssa felt her chest tighten when she heard that. She almost couldn’t catch her breath.


    Tears of sorrow streamed from her reddened eyes down her face.
