Chapter 1068


    Winston’s tone of voice sounded increasingly firm. “Not only are you and Jasper together, but he’s also


    staying at your house in Sna City?” he questioned.


    Jasper’s ears perked up at the vague sound of his name being mentioned.


    .


    Instantly, Alyssa’s eyes became dark. “What do you mean, Dad? Did you send someone to follow me?”


    “Is there any issue with me being concerned for my daughter?” Winston answered her with a question.


    He wasn’t going to humor her any longer.


    Alyssa chuckled. “I was alone overseas for five, six years. You’ve never sent anyone to follow me.


    During the Christmas holidays, you’ve never sent me any Christmas cards or well wishes. Why are you


    suddenly being concerned now?”


    A fire of rage rose within Alyssa. She put her hand on her waist and continued, “Are you possessed, or


    do you just have too much free. time on your hands because you’re about to retire?”


    Jasper furrowed his brows and remained expressionless.


    Alone overseas? And it was for five to six years at that? Why so?


    The Taylor family members doted on her so much, so how could they not be worried?


    She was still very young, five or six years ago. How dangerous must it have been for her to live in a


    foreignnd all on her own!


    “You’d bettere home this instant! You’re my precious daughter, but you’re cohabiting with an idiot


    who is also your ex-husband? I feel


    Winston eximed, seemingly angry.


    Alyssa harrumphed and replied nonchntly, “You’re not even ashamed to marry four wives. What is


    there for me to be ashamed about?”


    “You… you… you!” Winston almost lost his temper.


    Damn, they were truly father and daughter. Her words struck him to the core!


    After listening to their back-and-forth, Jasper gradually understood the conversation. Winston had


    found out that he was together with Alyssa, and he was furious about it.


    His heart tightened. He thought about how he had to go through so many challenges to finally receive


    approval from her siblings. And now, there was another hurdle in front of him-Winston.


    However, he didn’t have a single word ofint. He was the one. who had been cruel in the past.


    Any difficulty or hurdle he faced was, all his own karma.


    “I don’t care. I want you toe back as soon as possible! The horse racing event is on the weekend.


    It concerns KS Group’s important strategic partnership in the future. A few major groups in Sna City


    are also going to be there.


    “I need you toe back and make the necessary preparations. You are attending it with me!”


    A few major groups?


    That meant that the Becketts and Schmidts were included. It would be bustling then.


    Alyssa’s gaze was deep. She answered in a low voice, “I understand.”


    “And, let me remind you once again-don’t get too close to Jasper! My daughter is as precious as


    jewels, and he’s definitely not at your level!”


    Although Winston was speaking on the phone, his dissatisfaction. toward Jasper was written all over


    his face.


    “Also, don’t you forget how he had treated you in the first ce. He abandoned you and shamed you!


    Even if you have forgotten the pain, he is never going to get past me! Not unless it is over my dead


    body! Goodbye!”


    Without waiting for Alyssa to answer, Winston hung up the call.


    Alyssa was speechless. What goodbye was he even talking about?


    She stared at her phone’s screen, which had dimmed. She sighed silently and nced at Jasper, who


    was stiff as a stone beside her.


    “You overheard our conversation?”


    “Yeah,” Jasper answered with a dejected look on his face.


    “There’s nothing we can do about it. Winston is getting old, more stubborn than I am. Plus, you don’t


    have a good track re makes sense that he doesn’t like you.” Alyssa pouted.


    “I get it.”


    “But that’s alright. Whatever hurdlese our way, we’ll get over them. Things have already


    progressed to this stage. There’s nothing. that we cannot ovee.”


    Out of the blue, Alyssa blinked and asked, “If Winston doesn’t approve of us being together at the end


    of the day, and if the entire world doesn’t approve of us, will you give me up?”RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Jasper fixed his eyes on her. Looking deep into her eyes, he asked her back, “Will you give me up?”


    Alyssa put her finger on her chin and pretended to give it a good thought. After a while, she shook her


    head.


    “No, I won’t.”


    Jasper’s breathing was deep and heavy. He opened his arms and pulled her in for an embrace.


    He put his chin on the top of her head as tears pooled in his eyes. Ant intense twinge of bittersweet


    emotions filled his heart.


    “If you won’t leave me, neither will I leave you.”


    He was determined to be with her-forever.
