The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Alyssa stared at Jasperâs face. The gentle smile on his face at this moment was something she had never seen before.
She cleared her throat, hastily averting her gaze. She dared not lock eyes with his dazzling ones, afraid that another glance might reveal. some unspeakable secret.
She noticed that he had indeed changed a lot.
The previous Jasper had been cold, distant, and aloof. On the contrary, the current Jasper seemed to have melted and surrounded her with a reassuring sense of security.
âAhem⦠Um â¦â
Cyrus, who was single and allergic to romance, couldnât stand it any longer. So he chimed in, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.
âItâs just a suit. Why wash it? Our family has a big business. We can afford to compensate for a piece of clothing. Lyse, just buy a new one for Mr. Beckett. Iâll pay for it.â
âThank you, Chief Cyrus,â Jasper said with a slight smile, appearing calm.
âCyrus, are you sure you want to compensate for it?â
Alyssaâs emotions had eased a bit by now, and she raised a teasing eyebrow.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, Mr. Beckettâs suit is customized from a royal- exclusive brand in Vitelia. Ordinary people canât even buy it with money.
âEven if they could, Iâm afraid your to even buy one sleeve for Mr. Beckett.â
Damn! So expensive?
Saldly Cyrusâs face turned ugly. He disregarded his identity as the son of a prestigious family and shouted, âI wonât compensate anymore! Forget what I just said.â
Since Alyssa grew up with him, he wasnât afraid of embarrassing. himself.
Jasper smiled again, and his gentle gaze remained fixed on Alyssa. â Youâre indeed a genius designer, Sharon. You have sharp eyes.
Hearing that, Alyssa looked at him in amazement. âWhen did you find out?â
âAt Madam Lylaâs birthday party, when she appeared in the beautiful. black evening gown, I had a guess.
âNo, actually, I should have guessed when I saw you working on clothes at Ms. Emersonâs studio,â
Jasper said dreamily.
Alyssa pressed her red l*ps together, blushing.
In an instant, a complex mix of emotions surged within her, creating an indescribable feeling.
Jasper suddenly remembered the worn-out suit that had been meticulously preserved in his closet. It was the suit Alyssa had crafted for him after half a month of hard work when they had been. married.
Every stitch, every thread, represented her affection for him.
Sadly, he might never receive such treatment again. He should have known it back then. He should have understood how However, he had been blinded at the time, unable to see any of these.
When Jasper saw Alyssaâs pitiful expression, he felt this chest ache, making his already weak heart soften even more.
He owed her too much.
Even if he spent a lifetime making amends, he wasnât sure if it would be enough.
âLyse, is there any important evidence on Ms. Ninaâs phone? Is that why youâre so eager to repair it?â
Cyrus asked curiously.
Alyssa nodded melancholically. âShe whispered something to me before she passed away, telling me that she had crucial evidence of Sophiaâs crime on her phone.â
