Chapter 1073


    It turned out that Mandy, L, and Colene had gone to church. After church, they went on a shopping


    spree.


    They also visited a trending café before returning to Heightsnew Vi, feeling satisfied.


    In the eyes of the world, they were in awkward positions. People expected them to scheme against one


    another and to have a cut- throat rtionship behind closed doors.


    However, the trio were close, like three peas in a pod. At times, even Alyssa felt deep jealousy when


    she witnessed their sisterhood.


    Winston must have saved the universe in his past life for him to have Mandy’s, L’s, and Colene’s


    loyalty toward him in this life.


    “Woah! Why didn’t any of you bring me along? I’m sad now…” Alyssa teased.


    She was sitting on the swing in the garden. Like a young and energetic youth, she swung back and


    forth with the tip of her toes sweeping on the ground.


    “Oh, dearest Alyssa, it’s not that we didn’t want to bring you along!”


    Colene approached her from behind and put her arms around her neck.


    She hugged Alyssa and said softly, “Why didn’t you give us a heads-up. that you made ast-minute


    decision toe home? If we knew that you wereing back, unless anything life-threatening


    happened to Winston, we would have waited for you at home no matter what!”


    Alyssa cringed.


    Mandy and L looked extremely awkward. They advised, “Watch your words, Colene. You sound like


    you are ill-wishing Winston.”


    “I didn’t! If anything were to happen to Winston, where else am I going to find such reliable financial


    backing?” Colene put her hands on her hips and bellowed.


    Alyssa, Mandy, and L looked on gloomily.


    It was a good thing that Winston wasn’t around. Otherwise, he might just have a heart attack.


    “L is a believer, and there was mass today, so the both of us thought of apanying her to go out


    for some fresh air,” Mandy gently exined while holding Alyssa’s hand.

    “It’s my bad. I should make it up to Lyse by making a delicious feast tonight,” L said.


    She loved Alyssa more than her own daughter. When she saw that Alyssa was unhappy, she turned


    and immediately headed toward the kitchen.


    “No, don’t, L! I was just joking with all of you!”


    Alyssa got up in a hurry to stop L in her tracks. She linked arms. with L and pouted. “Look at you,


    can’t you take a joke?”


    L’s introverted and humble self tugged at Alyssa’s heartstrings. She figured living such a cautious


    life must be too exhausting.


    “How are youtely, L? Do you feel better now?” Alyssa asked in a warm tone.


    “Don’t worry about me, Lyse. I’m fine. I’ve felt much better since al long time ago.”


    L stroked Alyssa’s silky, dark hair. She asked with a gaze full of concern, “How about you? What


    have you been up to out theretely?


    “Winston has been worried sick because you haven’te back in such a long time. He’s lost his


    appetite and has even lost weight.”


    “That’s right! He couldn’t even eat L’s cooking. It’s obvious how much Winston misses you,” Colene


    chimed in.


    Although Alyssa felt rather guilty, she didn’t show it on her face.


    “The other day, I heard Winston on the phone with you, Lyse. He raised his voice quite loudly. Did you


    both have an argument?” Mandy couldn’t help but ask.


    “Not really…”


    “Not really? Wow… Ever since that day, it was like a dark cloud was looming over Winston wherever he


    went. Even when he was going out this morning, he also looked livid. He looked just like Hulk!” said


    Colene as she shuddered at that thought.


    “That’s right, Lyse. What in the world happened? It’s rare for Winston to be angry like that.” L was


    also especially concerned.


    Alyssa pursed her lips and tried to control her breathing. She exined slowly, “Jasper and I are back


    together.”


    A hush enveloped them.
