“I was just thinking about that conversation with Justin earlier tonight. It was really
very intriguing,” Alyssa explained. “That would be the last 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 you come 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 planted 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 to come back
eventually.”
Alyssa snuggled comfortably in his arms. “He was the one who facilitated the
Jesseltons’ discussion for a collaboration 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 still come 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 Justin comes back and asks
you to give up your
position as president at the Beckett Group. And ne claims that Its because you
owe It to mm.
“Would you give it up to him?” Alyssa asked as she lay on him. Her eyes
shimmered like the morning star. She blinked. Without any hesitation, Jasper
answered, “l 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 elated. She hugged him tight. These few days, Landon had been swamped
with work.
