Alyssa squinted coldly at Silas, âYou called me earlier tonight and womed that Axel would make a move on Jasper. Why the sudder change in your attitude?â
so it was you who called me out! Silas, you little shift Avel scrunched up his eyes and gritted his teeth tear you into piecest âHow dare you speak to your brother like that? You little rascal! Lyse, donât hold back. What he needs is a good lesson. You should haveE thrown him into the fire.â
Silas decided to add fuel to the fire since Alyssa wouldnât listen to him anyway. Knowing Axel was in grave trouble, he wanted to stay but of it.
âAxel, are you not ashamed of yourself for talking to Silas like that? Arenât you going to admit your fault? She was incensed.
âWhat fault? I beat up Jasper just for you!â Axel was adamant and rebellious.
âYou wretched thingl Alyssa stapped the armrest but accidentally pulled on her wound. She moaned in pain and finched a little âWhatâs wrong, Lyse?â
âAre you okay? Youâre scaring me.â
âMs. Alyssa, are you alright? Iâll get a car to the hospital!â
Jonah, Silas, Sean, and Axel immediately surrounded Alyssa like mother hens, looking nervous as if she was about to give birth Kneeling on a knee, Axel carefully held her hand against his chest with a pale face. âDid you pull on your wound? Itâs my taut tâs al my fault! Scold me and hit me as much as you want!â 1 âSo, you admit that youâre in the wrong?â She panted softly as her forehead turned sweaty.
âThe thought of Alyssa taking the bullet for him brought him a lot of pain and guilt.
âLyse, I fell bad for you. I couldnât watch you suffer because of that bastard! We didnât dote on you and raise you with love just for him to hurt you. He needs to pay for it!â
âAxel, I will say this one last time.â Tears brimming, she said word for word, âI willingly married Jasper Beckett. No one forced me to. I know he had someone else in his mind. I knew that he was a coldâ
hearted man. I thought that with my passionate love, I could met his heart and make him fall for me.
But I failed.â
She went on, âI should be responsible for my choice. Itâs all my fault, not his. So, youâd better not give him any trouble or hurt him?â
Axelâs gaze wavered in shock.
âAxel itâs hard for me to get over this relationship.â She let out a long sigh with pain in her eyes. âTo be honest with you, Jasper stil matters a lot to me after the divorce because Iâve loved him for years. Canât we let bygones be bygones?
âWhy would you create a scene when Iâm ready to start anew? It will only complicate things between Jasper and me, forcing us to but each other! Did you consider my feelings when you beat him up?â
*Lyse, Iâm at fault! Please give me another chance! Iâll do anything for you! I wonât find trouble with Jasper anymore.â Axel pleaded to her with shimmery eyes.
He had never once frowned when he went on dangerous missions. However, the thought of not receiving forgiveness from his sister slee him with dread.
âLyseâ¦â
A sly twinkle appeared in Alyssaâs woeful gaze. She pouted and demanded, âTwo days later, go home with me and have dinner with Dad before you leave.â
Jonah and Silas exchanged silent, knowing looks. Axel was reluctant to go home. He had no choice but to oblige to cheer Assau âAlright! Iâll go home with you!â
