Chapter 976


    Jasper whirled around, drawn in by a pleasant fragrance. Alyssa leaned closer to him, her eyes shining


    brightly. She ced her arms by his side, her plump lips hovering before him.


    He swallowed hard and blushed at the fatal attraction of her moist lips.


    Alyssa purred, “Have you forgotten what I said to you?” Her hand traveled down to his chest and traced


    its way to his abdomen.


    His heart raced as he stared intently at her rosy lips. Just when he was about to kiss her, she took the


    cigarette from between his fingers and ced it between her lips.


    She took a long drag but started coughing violently. Her face reddened.


    He pinched her flushed cheeks and teased her, “Oh, you silly thing! Don’t force yourself if you don’t


    know how to smoke.”


    “I don’t understand… Cough… What’s so appealing about smoking?” She tossed the cigarette on the


    floor and stomped on it. “You and Axel smoke all the time. What are you, a chimney? I should y the


    documentary of lung cancer on a loop to scare you out of it!”


    She blushed after her minor outburst.


    Jasper fixed his eyes on her and tossed his box of cigarettes into the trash can. Hugging her by the


    waist, he breathed on her face, tickling her skin. He had a look of desire in his eyes. “I’m sorry, Lyse. I’ll


    try my best to quit smoking. No. I WILL quit smoking.”


    “I know it’s hard for a longtime heavy smoker to quit cold turkey. I’m not unreasonable. Just smoke


    less,” she mumbled with a smirk.


    ‘No. I must quit smoking,” Jasper insisted. He was pulled back to memories of old and felt a pang of


    pain. “You advised me to quit smoking many times, but I never listened to you. I’ll do whatever you ask


    me to. It’s just that


    She blinked. “What?”


    Blushing, he asked a question like a naive schoolboy, “Can I watch TV all day at your ce if I quit


    smoking?”


    In his 30s, he seemed to have just learned how to love a woman.


    Alyssa chortled and teased him, “What a foolish question.”


    He loved seeing Alyssa smile and wouldn’t mind ying a fool forever to make her smile.


    Suddenly, she asked, “When are you leaving?”


    He checked his wristwatch and replied, “It’s about time now.”

    “Shall I see you off?”


    “It’s fine. You need to rest after a busy day.”


    “Jasper Beckett,” she blurted out without warning, and soon, she gave him a tender kiss on tiptoe.


    The kiss was much better than theirst awkward kiss. She intended for it to be a quick peck, but she


    underestimated his feelings for her.


    Pinching her chin, he kissed her deeply, their tongues dancing with each other.


    Finally, Alyssa pushed against his chest. As they moved away, strands of saliva lingered between their


    lips.


    He licked his lips and savored the sweet kiss,plimenting her, Lyse, you’re getting better.”


    She initially wanted to punch his chest out of shyness, but she settled with straightening his tie and


    smoothing the wrinkles on his suit like a caring wife


    She reminded him, “Come home soon. If you’rete, I won’t keep the door open for you”
