Feeling bad, Jasper patted Landon on the shoulder. He offered, "Bring Lauren to our ce when you''re
free. I''ll get Lyse tofort her. She listens well to Lyse. I learned a few new recipestely. You guys
can have a chat with Lyse and taste my cooking."
Landon''s face fell. He trembled. "Are you inviting us to dinner or poisoning us?"
Jasper was rendered speechless.
"Is one victim not enough for you? How could you drag Lauren into all of this? Don''t you feel guilty,
Jasper?"
"I''m inviting you over to show you how I take care of Lyse. Learn from me, and your rtionship with
Lauren will improve by leaps and bounds.
"Loving a woman doesn''t only mean keeping herpany. You need to try out new things that you''ve
never done before for her. You need to learn new skills," advised Jasper with a warm and tender look in
his eyes.
He had taken revenge for his mom. Alyssa was in love with him. At this moment, he felt he had
achieved peak happiness. Therefore, he wished the same for Landon after thetter married Lauren.
"Of course I will. I''ll spend my life learning new things for Lauren." Landon inhaled deeply and cast a
passionate look at his friend. "Jasper, I''m prepared to officially discuss the marriage with your dad in
the next two days.
"I wanted to make the move after getting appointed to the position ofpany president, but I couldn''t
wait anymore. I wanted to make her my wife and take her home. I love her... very much." Landon''s
voice trembled at the end as he choked up from his deep affection for Lauren.
"That''s right. You don''t have to be president of Harper Group to marry Lauren. The business you
worked on over the years and your savings could rival half of thepany''s wealth."

Feeling touched, Jasper looked into Landon''s eyes. "If you''ve made the decision, just go for it. Lyse
and I will give you our full support. All the best, my friend!"
Alyssa heard from Ben that Newton wasn''t feeling too well. She informed Jasper about it. Later, the
couple rushed over to Crescent Bay.
After some prodding, Ben finally told her the truth. Newton''s health had declinedtely. He couldn''t eat
or sleep well. The physician checked in on him daily but failed to pinpoint the issue.
The physician merely concluded that Newton suffered from digestive issues due to advanced age and
needed to take medicine for that.
Newton had kept the news from the young couple as he didn''t want them to worry.
During the trip to Crescent Bay, Alyssa looked pale and anxious.
"Lyse, don''t worry." Jasper held her waist tightly and pulled her into a hug. "I hired a reputable
physician for Grandpa. If he thinks Grandpa is fine, we will take his word for it.
"Grandpa is indeed getting old. His bodily functions are regressing. It''s normal for him to suffer from
digestive issues and lose his appetite. If you''re still worried, we''ll move into Crescent Bay to keep him
company. Since you''re a medical expert, you can check in on him. What do you think?"
Jasper was observant and thoughtful. Sensing his warmth around her, she questioned softly, "Are
you... okay with it?"
