"Mmm..." Her body went limp, and her breath caught. Jasper sealed her lips with a look of desire and guilt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe kissed her deeply, passionately, and freely in front of Newton.
Newton and Ben looked delighted at the scene as their hearts raced. Given Jasper's nature, he consistently exhibited reserved, undiplomatic, and challenging traits.
When Jasper was a teen, Newton had seriously considered bringing him in for a psychiatric evaluation multiple times, but he worried he might injure the poor kid's ego.
Now, Jasper was a changed man all because of Alyssa.
"Don't! Grandpa is here." Alyssa shoved Jasper away awkwardly with a blush on her cheeks.
"Grandpa is family." Jasper put a hand on her waist. He blurted out, "Besides, why can't | kiss my lover in public?" She shyly pressed her moist lips together at his flirting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the past, all he could do was carefully trod around. Every time, he hesitated to use the word "lover". Little did he know that all he needed to do was courageously take a step toward her. Once he took that one step forward, their hearts would touch.
"Ahem! Ben, have you fed the birds in the backyard? Let's do it now!" Newton chuckled with glee.
"Sure, Mr. Newton!" Ben was equally happy.
When Jasper finally moved his lips away from Alyssa's, her lipstick was smudged. He wiped away the smudge and said, "Lyse, thank you. I'm glad to have you by my side, whether in the past or the present." "Do you know the reason Grandpa loves fireworks?" Alyssa embarrassedly lowered her gaze and adjusted his tie for him. [x] Tell me.
"It's because Grandma loved them." She sighed. "When she was young, she loved playing with fireworks. But Grandpa was an insensible young chap who only bought her bottle rockets and played them in the garden. She was annoyed and nicknamed him Newton 'Bottle-Rocket' Beckett." Jasper chuckled. "That's a great nickname. It suits his personality." "Grandma was timid. Whenever he lit a bottle rocket, he'd run up to her, and she'd hide in his arms. He then put his hands over her ears.
"Grandpa often toldthat those were the best years for him. He could not forget every moment he shared with Grandma. Any status or power could not top his longing for her," Alyssa said wistfully. "That's why I'm doing this for Grandpa. This is all | can do for a loyal old man who is living in his memories." Jasper teared up after listening to her stories.
"Eh? Are you serious? You tear up easily these days, don't you?" She hurriedly wiped the tears from his eyes with his tie. "Why would you get all emotional when I'm not even talking about you? Is there something wrong with your eyes?" Jasper felt extremely guilty. Of course Newton's stories had everything to do with him.
