Alyssa said. “Let's do another one.”

“But you promised to do me a lavor!” Landon frowned like a little brat.

“Ireally can't agree to that.” Alyssa put on a serious face. I promised Grandpa to show up as his daug

in-law for the birthday. I will have nothing to do with the Beckett Family after that.

“I'm afraid I'll only upset him if I show up to his birthday with a male partner. It's my wish to grant hi

A tinge of wistfulness crept into her eyes.

“Alice, you're a lovely woman. Jasper lost out on you because he’s blind” Landon sighed.

Upon second thought, he wouldn't have had a chance with Alice had it not been for Jasper's mistake

a chance at love and happiness!

“That's why I wanted us to do another one.” She caressed the sculpture with much affection,

"How about you call me by my name? “Mr. Harper sounds too formal.” He blinked earnestly

“Is that it? My favors don't come around often, you know.”

“I'm thankful enough that you invited me to dinner!” He gazed at her affectionately and grasped at e

you?”

Sean felt touched by how Alyssa sided with him

while Landon choked on anger. Landon wondered if Seant was Alyssa’s childhood

sweetheart

Moreover, he was puzzled by Jonah's lackadaisical attitude toward Sean—

of him? He wondered at the possibility of that being Jonah's way of displaying his magnanimity.

"Wait for me in the dining hall. I'll put the sculpture away and join you there.”

She placed the artwork into the box and skipped happily up the stairs with it Landon was attracted b

like steps and furtively took a photo of her back.

Any random photo of Alyssa was a work of art.

At that moment, Landon received a pop—

up notification of Jasper's text. “In a bad mood. Join me for a few drinks”

Landon was eager to show off and immediately replied with the photo he had just taken. Within sec

Not only that, I'm at her place, Landon Haunted.

"Where's that?” Jasper growled.

"Gosh, did you not know where your ex—

wife lives? Well, I can't tell you. She probably refused to tell you because she didn't want you harassil

“Landon, I'll repeat myself one more time. Where is Alice's place?” Jasper threatened Landon with a I

Landon covered his mouth and chuckled. “I'm not telling you!
