Axel chuckled amusedly. âThatâs because Julien Lovelace is gay.â
Alyssa had goosebumps from the revelation.
Axel advised her, âYouâll need to get a man to seduce him. He doesnât get hard for women.â
Then, he grinned wickedly. âHey, why donât you get Silas to do the job for you? Heâs got broad shoulders. and a nice ass. I bet heâs considered a ten in the gay community. That Lovelace guy will definitely thirst for Silas!â
Alyssa snickered.
Was this the first time Axel had ever complimented Silas?
Half a month later, Jasper was discharged from the hospital. Newton picked him up on that day, keeping a low profile to avoid media attention.
In the car, Newton held Jasperâs hand tightly and stared intently at Jasperâs head, causing Jasper to shiver.
Curious, Jasper asked, âGrandpa, whatâs wrong with my head?â
âYou l look good in a military haircut,â Newton remarked, caressing his head.
âThat was my hairstyle throughout the military school. They called me the hot guy,â Jasper said with a confident smile.
âAlice is certainly skilled! I canât even tell that youâve been through surgery. The stitching is pretty neat,â
praised Newton.
Thoughts of Alyssa sent a warm current across Jasperâs body.
âAre you heading home to Seaview Manor, or should we have dinner at my place?â
âGrandpa, I miss Lyse a lot. Iâd like to see her,â confessed Jasper, leaning forward with anticipation. His heart and thoughts were on Alyssa âThatâs fine! Iâm glad you missed herâ Newton beamed, patting his grandson on the shoulder. âIâll send you to Alice!
Youâre a lucky one for surviving the attack. Hope youâll be lucky enough to win her back!â
Ben, seated in the front passenger seat, had to hold back his laughter.
She gritted her teeth and remarked, âHe looks like a playboy. Do you think it will work if I seduce him?
Iâl do that if need be.â
âWhat the fuck? Lyse, are you for real? And what is all this for?â Axel raised his voice in shock.
âI need his help. I need to get him to Solana City,â she informed him.
âI would rather seduce him than let you do it-how humiliating is that? Why do you need him in Solana City anyway?â
She pressed her lips and quipped, âItâs confidential!â
Axel let out a long sigh. Alyssa had started keeping secrets from him.
âWhat do you think? Will that work?â She sounded anxious.
âThat might not work. However, it might work if Iâm the one flirting with him,â Axel pondered.
She looked perplexed. âWhat do you mean?â
