âIâm going upstairs.â
Suddenly, Alyssa felt a weight on her back, and her b*dy leaned forward sharply.â
Jasper hugged her tightly from behind, enveloping her entirely. He wished he could meld her into his b*dy.
His firm and warm chest pressed against her slender back. His. intense heartbeat pounded into her, making her head dizzy. A soft and tingling sensation spread from her back to her chest.
âJasper,â Alyssa called hoarsely as her breathing became rapid.
There was a clear sense of resistance in her tone, but this time, she didnât struggle.
âHow could it not be worth mentioning? I wonât allow you to say that.â
Jasper tightened his embrace, his arms holding onto her fragile waist. Meanwhile, his hot breath sprayed onto her neck. â20 years ago, I lost the most important person in my life.
â20 years later, I found the only woman in my life. I donât want to lose. you again. Youâre everything to me. Lyse, after losing you, every day I live feels like hell.â
Death wasnât frightening. He could die for her thousands of times. He was just afraid of losing her.
Jasperâs chin rested on her hair, gently rubbing against it. He choked up again.
He was usually high and mighty, like a god from the heavens. He had never lowered himself like this, like a dog wagging its tail and begging.
Alyssa faintly heard his suppressed sobbing. Tonight, his pride in being strong and resolute had been shattered and scattered on the ground. How could she bear to step on it again?
She had seen him bravely fighting on the battlefield and knew how ruthless and fierce he could be.
Yet at this moment, she felt that he was pitiful.
So she didnât dwell on this matter, considering it as showing him. mercy.
âUh⦠It hurtsâ¦â Alyssa shrunk her shoulders in Jasperâs embrace.
âHurts? Where?â Jasper panicked, holding onto her shoulders.
âAh! Youâre going to kill me! Right here!â Alyssa was in pain, gasping for breath. Her b*dy trembled in his arms.
Back at the police station, she had bound him with her b*dy to keep him calm. It had caused the wound on her arm to split open, but she hadnât noticed.
She had only felt it after leaving the police station, but she was good at enduring pain. She had planned to go upstairs and deal with it herself.
Unexpectedly, Jasper wasnât sensible at all. He kept talking about all sorts of things and had even hugged her and refused to let go.
Not letting go was one thing, but he had used so much force. Why didnât he just crush her?
Only now did Jasper realize the situation. Shocked, he quickly. released her.
He felt something wet and warm on his sleeve. Looking down, he couldnât help but pale.
In fact, her wound had been bleeding for a while, but she was wearing a black suit, so it wasnât visible.
âWhy are you so silly? Why didnât you say anything earlier?â Jasper was both anxious and heartbroken.
He even raised his usually deep voice.
âWhy are you yelling at me like that?â Alyssa frowned, biting her l*p. Her pitiful appearance made him itch.
Jasper was taken aback, only now realizing that his tone had been too harsh.
Yell? How could he dare to? In front of Alyssa, he had an extremely low status.
