"I was just thinking about that conversation with Justin earlier tonight. It was really very intriguing,"


    Alyssa exined.

    "That would be thest time."


    Jasper was still regretful that he had allowed them to meet. He pulled Alyssa in closer to him. "Next


    time, I will not let youe in contact with Justin again. Today was just an unexpected incident. Don''t


    think too much about it."


    "I''m not thinking too much about it. It seems to me that you''re the one who''s overthinking it."


    Alyssa lifted her head slightly. She gave him a gentle poke in the chest. "Does it still hurt right here?"


    He held her hand. He nted a kiss on her palm. "No, it''s better now."


    "There''s really no need for you to be so paranoid. Also, what you imagined was not realistic. Would


    Justin stay in Mosgravia forever? He''d have toe back eventually."


    Alyssa snuggledfortably in his arms. "He was the one who facilitated the Jesseltons'' discussion for


    a coboration with the Beckett Group. And now, he took the initiative to contact Grandpa. Did you not


    realize yet that these were forewarnings? He has always been paving the way for his return.


    "So, he will surely be back. How would it be possible for me to avoid him? On the contrary, I want to


    have a formal and proper meeting with your mysterious brother. He has seriously piqued my curiosity."


    "Justin... Could it be that his health has taken a turn for the better?" Jasper lowered his eyes.


    "You''ve struggled in the Beckett Group for so many years. How could you be so naive now?"


    Alyssa flicked him on the head gently. She continued angrily, "His health condition doesn''t matter at all.


    He could stille back to fight against you if he really wants to. He can do so as long as he''s alive.


    "Do you know what is making me feel even more anxious right now? It is the fact that we are


    completely unaware of his true intentions and capabilities. On the other hand, I keep getting the feeling


    that he''s already familiar with both of our situations here.


    "Earlier this evening, he even said that he''s a fan of mine. This shows that he has known that I was


    Alexa since a long time ago. I can''t help but feel bothered by this."


    Jasper was amazed that Alyssa had actually considered all of these. She really put a lot of deep


    thought into it.


    He gave her a kiss on her forehead. Deep down, he felt ashamed. "Lyse, you don''t have to worry about


    these. I''m here. I will handle everything. I will protect you and Grandpa."


    "Let me give you a hypothetical scenario. Imagine if Justines back and asks you to give up your


    position as president at the Beckett Group. And ne ims that Its because you owe It to mm.


    "Would you give it up to him?" Alyssa asked as shey on him. Her eyes shimmered like the morning


    star. She blinked.


    Without any hesitation, Jasper answered, "I won''t."


    Alyssa giggled. "Wow, you''ve grown up all of a sudden, haven''t you?"


    "In earlier times, the Beckett Group merely represented work, a veritable battlefield for me. However, it


    has transformed into the proposal gift that I now desire to present to you."


    Jasper massaged the back of her neck lovingly. He whispered, "How can I make you happy if that is


    gone?"


    In the dark, Alyssa''s eyes welled up with tears. She was ted. She hugged him tight.


    These few days, Landon had been swamped with work.


    As the uing president of the Harper Group, he had many important matters to attend to. There


    were many reports that he had to go through.


    During any pockets of free time, he would apany Lauren. In the midst of all these, he even


    brought her to Sna City twice. They went to visit the campus of the Sna City Arts Academy. They


    also had discussions about being a guest student.


    He basically had no time for himself.


    That said, his days were as sweet as honey. He felt blissful.


    He now experienced how it felt to have a sense of responsibility that stemmed from love. It made him


    feel really blessed.


    At the Sage Manor, Angelina prepared a table full of dishes tonight. Lauren was already seated at the


    table. She was quietly waiting for Landon toe downstairs so that they could eat together.


    They heard a series of footsteps. Both Angelina and Lauren turned their heads toward the direction of


    the staircase simultaneously.


    Landon was dressed neatly and smartly. He was walking down the stairs while buttoning his sleeve


    cket.


    "Mr. Landon, are you heading out?" Angelina was quite surprised. She wasn''t aware that Landon had


    ns this evening.


    Furthermore, he was dressed so formally. He seemed to be attending an important event.


    Landon nodded. "Yeah. I''m going out for a bit. I''ll probably be backte."
