"T-That''s not true! Don''t you dare tattle!" Alyssa pursed her lips and elbowed Jasper.


    Winston felt a surge of warmth when he witnessed the loving exchange between the couple. Even Neil


    beamed gently at the scene.


    "Jasper, Lyse is not in her best health. I know you keep herpany, but you can''t be with her around


    the clock because of your busy schedule. I''m worried for my daughter and n to take her home for


    recuperation," Winston proposed.


    After joking around and exchanging pleasantries, it was time to reveal his purpose for the visit.


    "I''m not going home! You''re wrong to say I have no one to look after me. Mrs. Rosie is dependable and


    looks after me well. There''s no way I''m going home!" Alyssa threw a tantrum before the two men who

    loved her the most.


    Jasper stood beside her in silence and tightened his grip on her waist. In fact, he had considered


    sending her home to Belbanks, where she''d be taken care of and spend some quality time with her


    family.


    However, he was reluctant to part with her. He cherished every second he was around her and doted


    excessively on her.


    Even a day apart was enough to kill him. He would miss her so much that it hurt.


    Since Alyssa was stubborn, Winston turned to convince Jasper with a stern look. "Jasper, my daughter


    had once married you, but you''re not a married couple now. Besides, you must consider your social


    standing and hers. It''s inappropriate for both of you to cohabitate before marriage.


    "Jasper, if you are serious about building a future with Lyse, you should take it one step at a time


    instead of speeding things up. Do you agree?"


    Taking a deep breath, Jasper nudged the hesitant Alyssa toward Winston. "Lyse, go home with your


    dad and recover well."


    "Are you kicking me out?" She frowned at him, tearing up in a pitiful look.


    "Silly goose, what are you talking about? I''m not kicking you out. This is for your own good," Jasper


    said and choked on his tears, heartbroken at her expression.


    "W-Will you visit me in Belbanks?" she asked in a trembling voice.


    "Of course. I''ll visit you in the next few days." Despite saying so, he could not bear to be away from her


    for that long. He had even thought of meeting her the next morning, even if all he could do was stand


    guard outside Heightsview Vi to be close to her.


    Winston was gripped by guilt. However, he would rather deal with it than leave Alyssa in Sna City.


    After all, she had gotten on the bad side of the Becketts and the Harpers. The Harpers had even


    devised to harm her, and there was no guarantee what they''d do next to her.


    He''d lose sleep every time he considered the risks.


    Finally, Alyssa departed Sna City in Winston''s car. In the deep of the misty night, Jasper stood for a


    long while until the car vanished from sight. Then, he hung his head low as he clenched his fists and


    teared up.


    Feeling very sorry for Jasper, Xavierforted him, "Mr. Beckett, don''t worry about it. Madam is


    visiting her family and wille home to you soon. Distance makes the heart fonder."


    Jasper''s vision was blurred by his tears. He corked up, saying, "I know. I''m just feeling sorry for not


    taking better care of her."


    The Rolls-Royce headed toward Belbanks in the night. Alyssa leaned against Winston and sank into


    silence. He put an arm around her shoulder and coaxed her, "Lyse, do you me me?"
