+15 BONOS The issuance of the divorce certificate ended Alyssa and Jasperâs threeâyear entanglement.
If memory served her right, Jasper and Liana were set to marry after Newtonâs birthday. After years of waiting, it was Lianaâs time to show off the title of Mrs. Beckett to the world.
Alyssa had nothing but good wishes for the couple. After all, the two deserved each other.
Alyssa went home to Belbanks in the evening, accompanied by her two brothers and Sean.
âLyse!â
Alyssa heard a singsong voice from afar when she stepped foot in Heightsnew Villa. Smiling ear to ear, she responded, âTaty!â
Tatiana, the ninth Taylor sibling, and Winstonâs youngest daughter, ran up to Alyssa with joy and anticipation.
âLyse, I missed you so!â Tatiana hugged Alyssa with teary eyes and an adorable red nose.
âLook at you! Little crybaby, are you upset that Iâm back?â Alyssa wrapped her arms around Tatianaâs waist and gave the latter a kiss on the forehead. Although she was as tall as Tatiana, at that instance, she looked like a bigger sister towering over her little sibling.
âYouâre back for good. Right?â Tatianaâs face was as lovely as a budding flower as she questioned Alyssa through her tears.
âIâm not going anywhere. Iâm back to help Winston manage the Taylor Group and spend time with.
you all. I will not leave anymore.â
L Alyssa was guiltridden when she saw the worries in Tatianaâs eyes. Reckless and freedomâloving, she bravely pursued love in the past and neglected her most beloved family.
Thankfully, she realized her mistake and returned to the embrace of her family. She almost melted when Tatiana called her nickname.
âThatâs awesome! Weâve all been waiting for you!â
After some chitchatting, Tatiana nodded politely at Jonah and Silas. âHi, Jonah and Silas.
Taty, how many times do we have to tell you to relax? Treat us like how you mingle with Lyse +15 BONOS Tatiana nodded shyly, even if she knew very well that she would never compare to Alyssa.
âTaty, you lost weight. Is school stressful?â Jonah rested his hands on his back and checked in with Tatiana.
âIâm a little worn out because Iâve been busy preparing for the graduation performance. I enjoy it, though, so itâs okay.â Tatianaâs eyes glimmered with hesitation as she mumbled, âWâWill you all attend my performance?â
She quickly added, âItâs fine if you canât make it! I know youâre busy, but I asked just in case. I wonât mind.â
Jonah and Silas replied one after another, âWeâre going!â
âOf course! Thatâs not a problem at all.â Alyssa rested her arm on Tatianaâs shoulder. âLet us know the date in advance. Iâll put aside my work and reserve the day just for my dear little sister!â
âIâI will let you know early! Thank you⦠Thank you for coming!â Tatianaâs voice trembled in excitement as Alyssa gently caressed her soft hair.
Tatiana had always behaved well and acted sensibly. The family never had to worry about her.
Somehow, Alyssa felt sorry for Tatiana.
Tatiana was the youngest daughter of the Taylor family and Lyla Nelsonâs only child. She should have received plenty of attention and love. However, Alyssa had taken much of the spotlight. This was due to her outstanding qualities and her standing as Winstonâs first wifeâs daughter.
Tatiana did not envy her older halfâsister. On the contrary, she always respected the other family members because Lyla raised her well.
L After Tatiana became an adult, she never once asked her family for money. She relied on scholarships to pay for college.
During her free time, she would work partâtime jobs She lived in such a humble and ordinary manner.
Most of her schoolmates were clueless about her wealthy background.
Still, Alyssa knew that Tatiana always felt that she was lesser than her other siblings due to being the child of Winston Taylorâs third wife. That was the reason Tatiana had always treated everyone with a distant politeness.
âMs Tatiana, do you have an extra seat for me?â Sean suddenly asked.
