Alyssa shook her head and replied, "I know you''re doing this in my best interest."


    A momentter, Winston heard a faint sobbing and felt his sleeve growing damp. "Lyse, are you


    crying?"


    "Dad, I miss Jasper. I miss him so much ..." It had been a while since Alyssa had cried in his arms. His


    eyes grew misty at the sight.


    He hadn''t felt such intense emotions, not even when Miley married Jeremy and left for Kontina.


    However, he felt sorry to have separated the two lovers. It pained him as a father to see his daughter


    heartbroken.


    He thought, "Dear Lyse, I suppose I can''t keep you by my side anymore."


    After arriving home, Alyssa locked herself in her bedroom and chatted with Jasper under the nkets.


    She went on and on, and he listened to her patiently, asionally agreeing with her idea or adding to


    it.


    The two soulmates chatted endlessly until Alyssa fell asleep before she knew it. Upon waking up the


    next morning, she rubbed her eyes and stretched, feeling rxed.


    "Lyse, you look like you had a restful night."

    She inhaled sharply and grabbed her phone. "Jasper? W-Why are you still on the call?"


    In exhaustion, he exined, "You went silentst night, and I assumed you''d fallen asleep."


    "And ... You ..."


    "I didn''t hang up. It''s not often that I get to hear you snore and grind your teeth," Jasper said with a


    chuckle.


    Blushing, she buried herself underneath the nket. "You''re lying! I did not. Ady will never snore or


    grind her teeth."


    "Fine. I misheard," Jasper conceded and yawned.


    "Go sleep. You must be tired after staying up all night." She felt bad for him.


    "By the way, Lyse, we might get to meet soon. The Jesseltons are hosting a cocktail party at their vi


    in the Sna City suburbs. They have invited all four families, and I bet your dad has heard about it by


    now. We''ll meet by then."


    "The cocktail party hosted by the Jesseltons? I think they might have an important announcement," she


    replied, eyes twinkling.


    Alyssa responded, "Your dad has worked hard for this. He will not give up on the chance to coborate


    with Jesselton incorporated."


    Jasper opined, "Nah. He''s too preupied with Sophia''s scandal. He doesn''t have time for the


    Jesseltons." His voice grew somber. "But i''m unsure if Justin will make a move."
