Alyssa continued, "You could have just ordered takeout. Why bother tiring yourself out?"

    "It''s not tiring if it''s for you." Jasper''s sturdy arms wrapped around her slender waist. He looked at Axel


    gratefully. "Besides, I didn''t do much. It was all Axel''s work."


    "Oh, make them crispy, Axel."


    Axel clutched his chest, almost spitting blood into the pot. He didn''t expect to experience Alyssa''s favor


    for Jasper firsthand.


    With Axel''s efficient work and Jasper''s assistance, two tes of golden fried chicken were soon ced


    on the table.


    Meanwhile, Jasper''s few failed attempts remained gloomily in the corner, like mistresses who couldn''t


    be shown.


    "Quick, Lyse, try my cooking."


    Axel propped himself on the table, smiling as he watched Alyssa with anticipation. "It''s been so long


    since I made fried chicken for you. Try it. See if my skills have deteriorated."


    Alyssa grabbed a piece with her hand. She parted her crimson lips and took a big bite.


    It was crunchy and vorful.


    "This is so good! Your cooking is still amazing, Axel!" Alyssa eximed, thoroughly satisfied.


    A contented smile yed on Axel''s lips.


    Suddenly, the image of a face simr to Alyssa''s shed through his mind.


    That night, he had safely left The Millennium with Amber''s distraction.


    But what about her? Had Jameson discovered everything she had done? She went to Josh voluntarily


    to buy time for him. Did that beast make it difficult for her?


    Although Axel despised Jameson and knew about Amber''s status, afterst night, he grew curious


    about her.


    He didn''t think there were any good people around Jameson. But she didn''t seem like a bad person


    either.


    "Hey, Lyse, don''t eat that!"


    Jasper''s eyes narrowed, wanting to stop her, but it was toote.


    Alyssa joyfully opened her mouth wide and ate the pieces he had burned to a crisp, tasting them


    without any aversion.


    "Hmm... Not bad."


    "Don''t eat that, Lyse." Jasper hurriedly caught her hand. "You don''t have to force yourself to praise me.


    I know I didn''t do a good job."


    "No, you did it with your heart. How could it not be good?"


    Alyssa picked up another piece and ate it, looking very content, without a hint of coercion. "Besides,


    whether it''s burnt or golden, it all tastes the same once it''s in your stomach. Right, Axel?"


    Jasper smiled gently. Unable to resist, he ced a kiss between her oily lips.


    Once again, Axel clutched his chest, feeling utterly helpless. He regretteding back. He could have


    avoided watching the lovers'' interaction.


    "I can''t eat so much. Oh, Ss and Cyrus are at home. I''ll call them over to eat with us." With that,


    Alyssa picked up her phone.
