?Chapter 2165


    Jasper widened his eyes.


    Truthfully, from the moment Alyssa entered the room, he had noticed that something was bothering her.


    Hearing her question at this moment rmed him. He wrapped his muscr arms around her waist as he puffed his chest out. He stroked her waist gently and asked, "What happened, Lyse? What''s with that question out of the blue?"


    "Jasper, H..." A troubled look filled Alyssa''s face.


    "It''s alright if you don''t want to tell me about it. We''re lovers, partners, but you don''t have to force yourself."


    Jasper seemed to have a realization. He pulled her in even tighter and rested his chin on her shoulder. He nuzzled her longingly. "My dear Lyse, you''ll always have the highest degree of freedom and liberty.


    "Even though we''re lovers and partners, you still have the right to keep secrets. I will not interfere or cross the line."


    Such consideration from Jasper made Alyssa well up with tears. She buried her face in his chest and started sobbing.


    Distrust gnawed at her, making it hard to confide in others. But he was her unwavering anchor. If she couldn''t even tell Jasper her innermost thoughts and feelings, she would be extremely frustrated from having to keep it all in. She might even get to the point of wanting to seek death.


    "Lyse, don''t cry..." Jasper gently consoled her. His voice had turned hoarse with worry.


    He didn''t know what to do except to pat her on her back. At the same time, he didn''t dare to probe.


    *Jasper, I came across a document with a red heading in Jeremy''s study by ident... It mentioned a female special agent named Felicity Whitaker. She has been atrge for over 30 years. No matter her age or her experiences, they all reminded me of my mother."


    Alyssa buried her tear-filled face in Jasper''s chest. His white shirt was moist, along with his heart. "I''m afraid... I''m afraid that the woman named Felicity is my mother."


    Jasper''s eyes widened. His hands on her waist tensed up slightly.


    Alyssa''s entire body was trembling. Her soft voice invoked pity as she sobbed, "Dad has always been secretive about Mom''s identity. Mandy has also said that Dominic found Mom by the beach. Everything seems to be interconnected with Mom in some way. Could it be... She''s really...


    "Lyse, what would you do if that Ms. Whitaker turned out to be your mother?" Jasper uttered in a warm and gruff voice by her ear.

    Alyssa lifted her face. Her face was glistening from the tears that flowed down her cheeks. She looked into Jasper''s deep eyes with her fiery gaze.


    Without any hesitation, she continued with that same determination, "I will look into how the royal family''s head of security turned traitor tomit such an unthinkable act of treason."


    Jasper''s heart raced. He gave her another squeeze. Firmly, he concurred, ''Alright. After we settle our grudge with Jameson, I will look into the truth together with you."


    "Also, there''s another thing."Original from N?velDráma. Org.


    With a confused look in Jasper''s eyes, he asked, "What is it?"


    *Once this issue is resolved, shouldn''t you... be like Jul and change the way you address me?" Alyssa pursed her lips. Suddenly, her cheeks blushed pink.


    A wave of warmth and passion surged within Jasper. His eyes gleamed with agitation as his lips quivered slightly. After a while, he intertwined his fingers with Alyssa''s, and his eyes filled with tears. Awkwardly, he responded in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for waiting for me, Lyse... Thank you for giving me another chance."


    In the end, they ended up sharing that tub of warm bath water.


    Perhaps it was due to the entire day of rushing around or the tension from the uing ns, but even after a romantic moment together in the bathtub, Alyssa fell asleep on Jasper''s chest from exhaustion before he could even try to please her. She hadn''t even realized when she drifted off
