Jasper had not let go of his hatred for Sophia, nor had he becindifferent to the pain his mother had suffered.
However, if he dwelled on the hatred, it would not only cause him to sink into misery but also make those around him unhappy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlyssa nodded in agreement, sighing. "Landon, | know you and Jasper are like brothers, but you have Lauren now. You two are a family. Can you put her first next time? Don't always think about my man." Jasper and Landon were both speechless at her words.
"Also, don't think that Lauren wanting to see Sophia is a betrayal to us. She just wants to see Sophia one last time. This actually shows her pure heart and kindness. If Lauren were as resentful as Betty, wishing to deny her own origins, then you should be afraid." Considering Lauren's unstable condition, Alyssa decided not to return that night, even if it meant not sleeping to take care of her.
Since she wasn't leaving, Jasper naturally had to stay with her.
Knowing Alyssa's high requirements for sleep, Jasper called Xavier and asked him to bring over her pajamas, skincare products, and aromatherapy oils, even if it was just a one-night stay. He wanted to set up the bedroom for her to ensure she could sleep peacefully.
At night, Alyssa went to find Angelina to inquire about Lauren's condition.
On the other hand, Jasper called Landon to the dining room and opened a bottle of red wine to ease his mood.

"Landon, I've been thinking. After Lauren wakes up, how about letting her stay with Lyse for a few days?" Jasper looked at Landon seriously.
Upon hearing that, Landon was taken aback. He SLIM, pS table. "Jasper, what have | done to make you distrust me? You want to take Lauren away from me?" Jasper frowned. "I'm not taking her away. It's just that Lauren's condition is unstable. Staying with Lyse for a few days might help ease her mood." "Are you all so worried aboutbeing with her? Am | not worthy of your trust?" After a pause, Jasper replied, "To be honest, given what happened today, you really didn't inspire much confidence in us." "Fuck!" Landon's eyes turned red. He almost wished he could smash the bottle in frustration.
"You've never been an emotionally stable person, Landon. Being with Lauren, you've been changing and trying to control yourself. But character is something that flows in your blood. You're almost 30. How could you possibly change?" Lowering his eyes, Jasper suddenly said something almost unacceptable to Landon. "Landon, | know you love Lauren, but if this relationship is causing you a lot of pain, then I think it's tfor you to reconsider. It's not too late." Landon's temples throbbed. "What... did you say?" "But if after the honeymoon phase, you can't bear it anymore and want to withdraw or even neglect Lauren, Lyse and | won't let you off. I'll turn the Harper family upside down for my only sister."
