All of Jameson''s efforts proved futile as he found himself back at the same starting line as Jasper. He


    couldn''t ept that oue. He needed Alyssa. He had to marry her!


    "Yes, Mr. Jameson. Love can''t be forced,” L said.


    L then walked elegantly to Winston''s side and caressed his waist. Her tone was gentle and non-


    threatening, yet each word felt like a stranglehold on Jameson''s throat. "I''m sure Winston didn''t


    mean it. We know you are serious about Lyse.


    "But, it takes two hands to p for love tost. As Lyse''s family, we are thorough with everything we


    do because we want Lyse to be happy. If she eventually marries someone she didn''t love, we would


    be kissing her happiness in this lifetime goodbye.”


    Jonah was silent. His lips curled into a mocking smile as he stared contemptuously into Jameson''s


    eyes.


    L usually appeared gentle and harmless. However, she was an intelligent person.


    Her intelligencey in how well she knew Winston. She didn''t mention Jasper the entire time and


    yed the emotion card. Winston, a man who stood for love to be free, understood his daughter''s


    situation


    Jameson''s face turned stiff and pale. A dark glint lingered in his eyes. He could barely hold his


    chivalrous and elegant demeanor any longer.


    "Jameson, L is right. You can take a horse to the water but not make it drink.”


    Winston sighed thoughtfully, "Don''t be disappointed and don''t be overly stubborn. Let things be."


    Alyssa was unwilling to head to the hospital. However, Jasper eventually managed to coax her into


    receiving treatment.


    By the time they returned home after treating her wounds, it waste into the night.


    "Why are you so annoying, always going against me? I told you I don''t need to go to the hospital


    for this injury! Ouch!"


    Alyssa struggled to exit the car, her aggression causing her to injure her waist. Deep furrows formed


    on her brows, reflecting the pain as she gasped for air.


    Jasper was so anxious that he could hardly catch his breath. He quickly scooped her into his


    embrace. "You eejit! Stop being so stubborn! Do you have any idea how loud your screams were


    while you were receiving treatment at the hospital?”


    "I-I didn''t scream.” Alyssa''s delicate face turned as red as a tomato.


    "What do you mean? I thought I was standing in front of the delivery room while you were giving


    birth to our baby." Jasper lowered his head and kissed her sweaty face hard.


    His breathing was heavy, and his kiss was forceful, as if he was punishing her.


    Alyssa thought about the word "baby".


    An agonizing pain swelled in her heart as she instinctively tried to slip away.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Jasper didn''t notice something was off with her. He thought she was acting unnaturally because of


    her wounds. Without saying a word, he carried her into the vi.


    Everything that took ce at the horse racing event shook the entire country like a nuclear bomb.


    Upon discovering the news, Rosie skipped her dinner and anxiously awaited Jasper and Alyssa''s


    return.


    "Madam Alyssa, how is your injury?" Rosie saw the ugly look on Alyssa''s face and how Jasper was


    carrying her in his arms. She was about to burst into tears as her heart ached.


    "I''m okay, Mrs. Rosie. I can walk."


    Alyssa pouted and lightly punched Jasper''s chest. "It''s his fault for making it such a big deal. I''m not


    as fragile as he thinks."


    Jasper chuckled lightly. His eyes were filled with affection. "Yes, yes. My beautiful Lyse is a warrior.


    She is the coolest and sassiest woman I''ve ever met in my life.”


    He didn''t like to use the word "strong" to describe a woman. No one was willing to be strong if they


    had a choice.
