Jasper helped Briar settle down and ascertained that she wouldn't be in danger. After that, he traveled overnight to rush back to Solana City.

Worriedly, he returned to his home with Alyssa. The moment he entered the door, he heard the sound of Alyssa's melodious laughter coming from the living room. She and Rosie were watching a television series together.

Jasper felt relieved. A smile spread across his face slightly. He draped his suit over his forearm and walked over quietly.

"Madam, you haven't rested at all after such a busy day. Yet, you even made dessert for Mr. Jasper. It must be so tiring for you."

Rosie plucked an icy cold grape and put it on Alyssa's palm. Her eyes filled with concern. "You can leave these things to me. You should take the opportunity to rest."

"It's alright. I'm not tired. Plus, I get to focus on doing one thing and declutter my mind when I'm making desserts. It helps me to feel more relaxed."

Alyssa smiled and ate the grape. She even fed a grape to Rosie. "It's been a while since Jasper had a good rest too. When he comes back, I'll have him eat all of it, take a shower, and have a good night's rest."

Rosie sighed, "You were the one who took care of his daily living at Seaview Manor. You didn't rest a single day throughout those three whole years. I didn't think that you'd still be the same now."

Rosie couldn't help but feel gloomy. "You should love yourself more too, madam. Don't be so good to him. You're going to spoil him!"

Jasper stayed standing in the shadows. He pursed his lips, and his heart skipped a beat.

"He's my man. Who else would dote on him if not me?"

The image of Jasper's captivating eyes flashed across Alyssa's mind. They have already been together for such a long time. She couldn't believe she would still have butterflies in her stomach. It was as if they had just started dating. "Moreover, he's worth it."

Jasper's eyes welled up with tears. A lump rose in his throat; he had never felt that he was worth it. He simply thought that he was fortunate.

Alyssa screamed in fright to see Jasper standing there. The grape she was chewing almost fell out of her mouth. "Jasper? When did you get back? Why are you standing there silently like a ghost? You scared me!"

"I'm sorry. I wasn't eavesdropping on your heart-to-heart talk on purpose."

The couple walked toward one another.

They embraced one another tightly, just like two opposite poles of a magnet.

"Did you miss me?" Jasper placed

his warm hand on the back of Alyssa's neck. He lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose with hers.

"You took the words out of my mouth..." Alyssa winked and grumbled softly.

"I missed you."

His breath became deep. Without waiting for Alyssa to finish her sentence, he said, "I missed

much, Lyse. Very, very mul.net

Alyssa noticed the dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, making him look worn. She knew that he wasn't lying.

With her fuzzy flippers on her feet, she tiptoed and wrapped her arms around his neck. She then planted a kiss on his lips.

Jasper wasn't going to be satisfied

with just a peck. Immediately, he pulled her into his arms. He caressed her waist as he parted her lips and found his way in until he had taken over completely. Even her breaths had become his and his alone.

Soon enough, Alyssa had melted in his arms. Her entire face flushed red.

As for Rosie, she had retreated to the kitchen a while ago to check on the desserts in the oven.

Just as their passionate tension was rising, Alyssa's phone rang.

In a muffled voice, she said, "Hold on. Let me take this call."

She felt for her phone in her pajama pocket. It was Cyrus. She stabilized her breathing quickly and answered the call.

"We have a problem, Lyse."

"What happened?" Alyssa and Jasper held their breaths.

"It's Jameson. He wants to see you."
