In the midst of the cheerful feast, everyone remained unaware of Jasper and Alyssa''s bted arrival.


    The couple had even changed their clothes.


    The dose of love energized Jasper, sweeping away the sadness in his heart. He was like a different


    person as he proudly stood next to Alyssa. Even amidst the remarkable gathering of Taylors, he stood


    there loud and proud,pletely stealing the show.


    "Wow, you look amazing, Mr. Jasper."


    "Wow, Jasper is absolutely unbeatable."


    Tatiana and Maggie were side by side, holding their heads as they fangirled over Jasper.


    While they had their respective partners, no one could help but admire beauty. Stealing a few more


    nces at a masterpiece was not a crime.


    However, Sean and Xavier were sitting beside them miserably. Like two shotguns, they stared fixedly at


    Jasper.


    No matter how jealous they were, they could only keep quiet. Openly attacking Alyssa''s man would


    make them dead meat.


    Everyone exchanged drinks andughter throughout the gathering.


    Somehow, it felt like Alyssa and Jasper''s appreciation dinner.


    Rose was extroverted and the life of the party. After making Jasper drink with her, she held Alyssa by


    the waist and sang into the karaoke microphones.


    Ss frowned as he continuously stuffed meat into his mouth. His burning gaze didn''t leave Rose''s


    beautifulplexion for even a second.


    "I like Rose. She has a great personality and is straightforward. She seems chill but is emotionally


    sensitive. She takes care of others well."


    Sitting next to Ss, Jonah elegantly sliced the meat with a knife and unexpectedly shared his


    thoughts.


    Ss chewed the meat hard as his eyshes fluttered slightly. "She is just a dim-witted, crazydy.


    What is there to like?"


    "If she is that bad, why can''t you stop staring at her?" Jonah chuckled.


    Jonah, having an intimate understanding of Ss, yfully called him out.


    Ss nearly choked on his food, his face turning as red as a tomato. "That''s because she''s terrible at


    singing! It has affected my appetite!"


    "That can affect your appetite? I don''t believe you."


    Taking a bite of meat on a skewer, Cyrus nced at Ss and smiled. "Nothing can affect your


    appetite. I remember when you used to work overtime, you''d eat while reading forensics reports. This


    is nothingpared to that."


    Ss'' face burned as he tried to alleviate the embarrassment with a sip of water.


    Jonah had just finished carefully slicing a te of meat. Before he could take a slice for himself, the


    meat was gone.


    Scanning the area, he locked eyes with Julien beside him. Julien was casually enjoying the meat from


    Jonah''s te. He beamed at Jonah with narrowed eyes.


    It turned out Julien was the sneaky culprit who had taken all the meat.

    "I haven''t had enough yet. Slice more, please," Julien''s voice was soft as he yfully pleaded in


    Jonah''s ear.


    "Are you a child? Do I need to slice everything nicely and put it on a te for you?" Jonah retracted his


    gaze and resumed slicing more meat. "Why don''t I just feed you?"


    "Sure!" Julien''s eyes glistened as he nodded enthusiastically.


    "In your dreams," Jonah sneered, his knife never ceasing its motion.


    "Can''t it be reality? I remembered what you told me in the car thest time. Are you trying to get away


    with it, Mr. Jonah?


    "You said you would slice fruits for me, but it never happened. Now, you''re unwilling to let me take


    some meat from you?" Julienined angrily. However, underneath the table, his toes hooked onto


    Jonah''s pants, slowly sliding up.
