Chapter 607

Alyssa still held Jasper's name in high regard. Jameson's eyes had a gleam when he saw his love rival

calling up his crush. He called out softly, "Lyse."

Her eyes deepened. She decided to pick up. "Hello?"

Jameson was filled with disappointment as well as resentment toward Jasper.

Meanwhile, Jasper gazed at the illuminated windows from a distance, uncertain of where she was or

if he would get to see her. His voice was hoarse.

"Lyse, it's snowing. The first snow in Solana City this year."

"Right," she responded flatly. "So, what's the matter?"

Jasper was taken aback by her reaction. After a brief pause, he mustered the courage to suggest,

"May I invite you to enjoy the snow tonight?"

"Do you have the memory of a goldfish?" she asked with a frown.

"Um, no."

"Do you understand the state of our relationship now? Do you think it's appropriate for us to do

that?"

"Well, it's still better than spending time with Jameson Schmidt,” Jasper commented enviously.

Simultaneously angered and amused, she retorted, "Hah. I don’t think so.”

"Alyssa, I won't leave from here unless you meet me tonight,” Jasper insisted, but she was equally

resolute.

She countered, "If you don't leave, I'll stay put at Jameson's villa."

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Jasper's eyes flared with intensity as he clutched the left

side of his chest, struggling to breathe. There was a metallic taste in his throat.

He growled, "Are you staying the night at his place? Do you know what you're doing?"

Alyssa's anger surged. She moved to a quiet corner with her back to Jameson, taking a deep breath

before whispering, "Mr. Beckett, I'm thankful for you saving my life, but it doesn't mean you can

force me to do something against my will.”

"I just wanted to share the first snow with you! Nothing more.”

"But I don't want to! That's the last thing I want!" she yelled at him hysterically, startling him with

her overreaction.

Jameson hurried up to her and gently held her trembling shoulders. He deliberately whispered into

her ear, "Lyse, are you okay?"

Jasper hung onto every word that fell from Jameson's lips. With her eyes shut, Alyssa shook

uncontrollably from head to toe.

She was transported back to that Christmas night two years ago, when Solana City had belatedly

seen its first snowfall of the year. There had been a car accident, a lot of blood, and the loss of her

baby when she had been nine weeks pregnant.

She was crushed by the pain. The accident had cruelly robbed her of the chance to meet her child.

Where had Jasper been back then? He had traveled to Mosgravia to spend Christmas with Liana.

After Alyssa had sent Newton to the hospital, she had called Jasper once, just before she lost

consciousness. But she had been greeted with a cold, busy tone.

Once more, she felt like she was drowning in a sea of agony. Suddenly, she blacked out and

collapsed.

"Lyse!"
