Chapter 1457

"Behave," Jonah rasped out, though his expression was solemn.

Julien cocked his head and grinned a devastatingly beautiful smile. "No, I won't."

Meanwhile, Jasper seemed to be in an excellent mood. He hadn't backed down after taking on the

challenge of downing several rounds of alcohol. After toasting everyone, Jasper began a one-on-

one drinking duel with Axel.

He didn't usually drink alcohol. He was only doing so mainly because he didn't want Alyssa's

brothers to think he was a coward. After all, he was Alyssa's man.

"Do you know what my nickname is?" Axel draped his arm over Jaspers shoulder as he topped up

the latter's wine glass. "They call me the Son of Spirits, never getting drunk no matter how much I

drink. I'm worried you'll ruin your family's pride if you try competing with me."

Jasper looked down at his full glass of wine and smiled lightly. "In my experience, Axel, the ones

who try to make themselves look tough at the start are the ones who fall first later on. No matter

though, since you're drinking in the comforts of your own home. Your family will care for you no

matter how drunk you get."

"I don't need no one to take care of me!" Axel glared at Jasper and clinked his wine glass with the

latter's, making wine splash out some. "I'm going to drink this now. You do so whenever you're

ready!”

While more drinks were being poured at this end, Rose had caged Alyssa against a wall somewhere

else.

She slyly asked, "Why's your waist so tender, Madam? Your voice is rather raspy, too. Say, what were

you up to with Jasper earlier when you two went missing?"

Alyssa blushed and cleared her throat. "N-Nothing much.”

That horndog!

Jasper knew exactly where Alyssa's erogenous spots were, yet he'd continued caressing them and

torturing her.

Alyssa ended up soaking her clothes and ruining her makeup because of it. In the end, Alyssa had to

panic and leave in a hurry to tend to the guests, while Jasper behaved coolly as if nothing had

happened.

Alyssa was so frustrated.

"Hey, we're all adults here. Why are you still so shy?" Rose giggled and whispered in Alyssa's ear,

"But I didn’t expect you two to finish so soon. Jasper doesn't last long, does he? Feed him some

oysters later. They're the best stimulant for men!"

Alyssa hushed Rose, hurriedly defending Jasper. "Yes, he does! He's really good at..."

The two best friends then chatted in hushed tones.

"Holy shit! That's so hot!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Alyssa quickly covered Rose's mouth, her face flushed to the ears.

Rose was Alyssa's best friend, so there was nothing they couldn't talk about. They could share

everything, even those shy little secrets.

"Tch, who knew someone as regal-looking as Jasper Beckett was actually so wild in bed.” Rose

sipped her drink, brow cocking in intrigue.

"He... He wasn't always like that.” Alyssa's voice was unbelievably soft. She caressed her flushed face

and said, "He needed some training too."

The two women stood in silence for some time.

Rose then took an exquisitely crafted cigarette pack from her bag and placed a cigarette between

her lips.

"Gone back to smoking again?" Alyssa asked.

"Why do you make it sound like I'm a drug addict? It's just a cigarette.” Rose chuckled.

The warm night lights cast their glow on Alyssa's face, highlighting her features, which were twisted

with worry and concern.

"Have you been doing well lately, Rose? Has your family caused any trouble for you?" Alyssa knew

Rose was from the Emerson family and the risky situation Rose was in, which was why she worried

for Rose.
