Jasper maintained hisposure as he greeted Winston. Though he had a strained rtionship with


    Winston, who had shown him attitude and given him trouble, he treated Winston with respect due to his


    love for Alyssa and his admiration of Winston''s integrity.


    However, unlike Jameson, he refrained from excessive ttery toward Winston. He reminded Winston,


    "Mr. Taylor, it''s chilly at night. Please take care not to catch a cold."


    Jasper carried himself with humility and warmth, and Winston gradually found his presence pleasant as


    he nodded at the young man.


    Meanwhile, Alyssa grew concerned when she noticed the absence of bodyguards around her father.


    She approached him, chiding, "Dad, why didn''t you bring along your bodyguards? You shouldn''t have


    "Neil is trained inbat. Besides, I don''t want to disturb my bodyguards'' rest. I''m curious about your


    life in Sna City and your living space." Scanning the vi, he remarked, "It''s small but functional.


    There''s not much space, but at least it''s cozy."


    "Did you break in and snoop around?" Alyssa blushed, yet she still argued with Winston.


    She was embarrassed at the thought of showing her love nest with Jasper to her father. After all, the


    ce was full of their belongings now.


    "Why do you always assume the worst of me? Can''t you see me like an ordinary man?" Looking


    speechless, Winston exined, "Your maid opened the door for me and served me some tea and


    desserts. I tasted the desserts—they were pretty nice. I even made Neil pack the leftovers."


    Neil disyed the container in his hand.


    She instantly stomped in anger and tried to grab the container, only to be stopped by Jasper. She


    seethed, "Winston, you wretched old man! I made those desserts for Jasper. Don''t touch them!"


    Grumbling, she added, "Why don''t you spend your time on your three wives? Jasper only has me. How


    could you take the desserts I made for him before he even had the chance to taste it? Leave it!"


    "Lyse, it''s fine ..." Jasper held her back with an amused yet desperate look.


    "Tsk. Consider it a gift for your dad. You can make him desserts anytime in the future, but it''s not like I


    always get to try your cooking. I''d have to travel to Sna City for that." Winston yfully red at


    Alyssa, guarding his desserts.


    In the future? Alyssa and Jasper exchanged looks. During this visit, Winston did not seem to treat


    Jasper any differently, but his attitude seemed to have softened.


    In the past, Winston badly wanted to separate the two. However, tonight, not only was he friendly with


    jasper, uul ne also made intriguing remarks.

    Jasper''s heart raced, and his palms became sweaty. Still, he dared not have high hopes and was


    content with the improvement in his rtionship with Winston.


    In the end, Alyssa lost to Winston, who victoriouslyid im to the desserts. She was annoyed


    because she had spent an afternoon making the desserts for Jasper, just to be robbed by Winston.


    "Hey, you seem pretty energetic. Have you fully recovered?" Winston expressed concern about her


    injury.


    "I''m doing fine. I''m not that vulnerable." She straightened her back, lifting her chin proudly.


    "Lyse, don''t push yourself. Recovery doesn''t happen this fast. It will take months, you know?"


    Frowning with worry, Jasper called her out, "You were losing sleep over painst night, and it was


    challenging for you to turn over. Why didn''t you tell your dad the truth?"
