"Oh, I see. I thought it was someone else." Winston didn''t take Angelina''s words seriously at all. He


    looked toward Cyrus as if he was about to entrust him with an important task.


    "You say that Landon will be asking for Lauren''s hand in marriage. That means that he has yet to


    propose officially. Just because a goalkeeper is standing at the goalpost doesn''t mean scoring is


    impossible. You still have a chance, Cyrus."


    Cyrus held his head in his hands. He was frustrated. He really wished that he could dig a hole for


    himself and hide in it right now.


    Just as Winston finished speaking, they heard the sound of quick and urgent footsteps approaching.


    "Winston! Why did you bring a whole troop of your people to our yard? What are you trying to do? Take


    the house down?" Alyssa had one hand on her hips. She red at Winston angrily.


    Her emotional and mental state had settled down at this point in time, thanks to the power of love. She


    was no longer going to resist or fear facing off against Winston.


    Winston was an arrogant man. But it didn''t matter if he used the power of the entire KS Group to


    repress them.


    After their steamy nightst night, Alyssa turned around and pressed her fair-skinned and warm body


    against Jasper''s. She tapped his moist, thin lips and asked in a gentle voice, "What''s on your mind,


    Jasper?"


    Jasper bit down gently on her finger. He stroked her delicate back, which was wet with sweat. "I was


    thinking what our next hurdle might be."


    "Why are you thinking about that for no good reason?"


    Alyssa turned and rested her head on his chest. "There is no problem that cannot be solved. There is


    nothing that we cannot ovee as long as we go through it hand in hand. Hey, you''ve already


    chickened out once. You''re not going to be a cowardly jerk again, are you?"


    Jasper had a frown on his face. He gave her a loving tug on her waist. "I wasn''t chickening out, Lyse. I


    was just..."


    Alyssa giggled. "I know. I was just pulling your leg."


    Jasper was speechless. She was pulling his leg by calling him a cowardly jerk? Upon reflecting, Jasper


    realized that Alyssa wasn''t entirely wrong. It was true that he used to be quite a jerk. He would just


    treat it as her way of being endearing toward him.


    "All in all, only death can separate us in this life," stated Alyssa with a monotone voice,bining


    seriousness with a touch of coyness.


    "There is absolutely nothing that can separate us." Tears welled up in Jasper''s eyes. He interlocked his


    fingers with hers. "We will face the challenges in this life together. Till death do us part."

    Winston was startled to see Alyssa, whom he had not seen in days.


    This evening, Alyssa was only in regr-looking sportswear. She didn''t have any makeup on. She had


    a bag of fruits in her left hand. It was obvious that she had just gone to the supermarket.


    She was his cherished daughter—someone extremely precious to him! From a young age, a multitude


    of staff members attended to her every need. Yet, she now had to go to the supermarket personally to


    do groceries. She no longer had a ssy air around her!


    Winston loved Alyssa with all his heart. He was about to snap when he noticed Jasper standing behind


    Alyssa. He was carrying four bags full of groceries in both his arms. His hands were full.


    Winston knitted his brows tightly. A strong sense of heartache and sorrow built up within him.


    Amidst these emotions, he even felt an inexplicable hint of admiration.


    Jasper was quick-witted. He spotted that Winston''s eyes had turned red. He thought that Winston was


    still mad, so he quickly put his bags of groceries down and greeted him.


    "I''m very sorry, Mr. Taylor."


    "What are you apologizing for? Winston should be the one who should apologize to you instead. He


    shouldn''t have taken advantage of his seniority and hit you, no matter what!" Alyssa red at Winston


    angrily.


    Winston felt a pain in his heart. He sighed deeply in frustration, then spoke coldly, "It has been so many


    days, Lyse. You have done so many ridiculous things. You have also seen the person you wanted to


    see. My patience is limited. It''s time for you toe back with me."
