Chapter 954
Jasper was alone in his bedroom, sitting on the sofa and staring into space. A troubled look adorned his charming face.
The thought of going to check on Alyssa came across his mind a few times the entire night..
At the same time, he was afraid that she would become annoyed at the sight of him, so he didn’t dare to bother her.
When Rosie came out of the room, she didn’t mention why Alyssa was mad. Instead, they had a long heart-to-heart talk about
the matter regarding Sophia.
Rosie cried buckets of tears. But, in the end, she expressed that she would play dumb when she got back to Seaview Manor.
This was to avoid alerting Sophia that anything was wrong.
Now, the plans for their revenge were beginning to take shape. The execution of their plans was in full swing, albeit in secret.
At this stage, avoiding any unnecessary problems and troubles was crucial. They might fail to expose Sophia’s heinous deeds if
they weren’t careful!
“Mr. Jasper, I keep having this feeling that Madam is being weighed down by something burdensome. It should be something
related to you, but she didn’t want to let me in on it. I wasn’t sure how I could
ask her about it either.
“Although your relationship with Madam seems to have improved, it’s obvious that she has yet to open up to you, Mr. Jasper. I
think she
still has some reservations about you.
“So please, you must be completely patient with her. Women are
1/3
“It’s possible that she decides to ignore you because she was reminded of unhappy incidents related to you.
“So, please hold yourself back no matter how she treats you. You were the one who wronged her in the first place.”
Jasper sighed quietly. He pinched his fingers between his furrowed brows, looking troubled.
Of course, he could be patient with her.
Even if she stayed mad at him for the rest of his life, he was ready to pamper and love her. He simply wanted to know why she
was in such
a bad mood.
He had spent the entire night pondering over it. Despite extensive reflection, to the point where his mental resources felt
depleted, he still couldn’t unravel the puzzle.
Right at that moment, someone knocked at the door.
Three gentle knocks echoed, abruptly jolting his tired body as if he were suddenly awakened from a lucid dream.
Rosie had retired to bed considerably earlier. Furthermore, her typical knock on the door was usually more forceful and urgent.
That could only mean that it was Alyssa at the door!
Jasper’s heart began to race. He trotted over to open the door.
When he opened the door, Alyssa was standing in front of him. Her
eyes met his.
She adorned herself in a sexy silk nightgown, complete with lingerie beneath. The sight of her fair-skinned shoulders peeking out
from beneath the spaghetti straps kindled a fiery desire within him.

Alyssa pursed her lips tightly. Her bare face was as delicate as silk, glowing with an alluring sheen. He stared at her as his entire
body temperature began to rise.
In a daze, his face flushed bright red. It was as if he was intoxicated. His face had said it all.
“Lyse...”
“I couldn’t sleep. Then, I got hungry and felt like having supper.”
Alyssa lowered her eyes, avoiding his burning gaze.
She lifted a white-colored box and said, “I heard from Mrs. Rosie that you like to have desserts when you are feeling down. So, I
bought a cake. Would you like to have some?”
All of a sudden, Jasper’s eyes welled up with tears. Without warning, he wrapped his arms tightly around her.
“Hey, do you want cake or not?” she asked. She almost couldn’t catch her breath from his tight embrace.
“Lyse... I was terrified,” he mumbled next to her ear. He sounded as he was choking on his tears.
He was such a strong, charming, and arrogant man. However, at that moment, he was like a mouse aggrieved by being
mistreated.
“You’re okay. What were you terrified of?”
“I was afraid that... that you would ignore me forever. Just the thought of it was piercing my heart like a knife.”
A glimmer of light passed through Alyssa’s eyes. A wave of sorrow rippled through her heart as she shared a sense of empathy
with him.
