"I was just thinking about that conversation with Justin earlier tonight. It was really very intriguing," Alyssa explained.
"That would be the last time." Jasper was still regretful that he had allowed them to meet. He pulled Alyssa in closer to him. "Next time, 1 will not let you cin contact with Justin again. Today was just an unexpected incident. Don't think too much about it." "I'm not thinking too much about it. It seems tothat you're the one who's overthinking it." Alyssa lifted her head slightly. She gave him a gentle poke in the chest. "Does it still hurt right here?" He held her hand. He planted a kiss on her palm. "No, it's better now." "There's really no need for you to be so paranoid. Also, what you imagined was not realistic. Would Justin stay in Mosgravia forever? He'd have to cback eventually." Alyssa snuggled comfortably in his arms. "He was the one who facilitated the Jesseltons' discussion for a collaboration with the Beckett Group. And now, he took the initiative to contact Grandpa. Did you not realize yet that these were forewarnings? He has always been paving the way for his return.
"So, he will surely be back. How would it be possible forto avoid him? On the contrary, | want to have a formal and proper meeting with your mysterious brother. He has seriously piqued my curiosity." "Justin... Could it be that his health has taken a turn for the better?" Jasper lowered his eyes.
"You've struggled in the Beckett Group for so many years. How could you be so naive now?" Alyssa flicked him on the head gently. She continued angrily, "His health condition doesn't matter at all. He could still cback to fight against you if he really wants to. He can do so as long as he's alive.

"Earlier this evening, he even said that he's a fan of mine. This shows that he has known that | was Alexa since a long tago. | can't help but feel bothered by this." Jasper was amazed that Alyssa had actually considered all of these. She really put a lot of deep thought into it.
He gave her a kiss on her forehead. Deep down, he felt ashamed. "Lyse, you don't have to worry about these. I'm here. | will handle everything. | will protect you and Grandpa." "Letgive you a hypothetical scenario. Imagine if Justin comes back and asks you to give up your position as president at the Beckett Group. And ne claims that Its because you owe It to mm.
"Would you give it up to him?" Alyssa asked as she lay on him. Her eyes shimmered like the morning star. She blinked.
Without any hesitation, Jasper answered, "lI won't." Alyssa giggled. "Wow, you've grown up all of a sudden, haven't you?" "In earlier times, the Beckett Group merely represented work, a veritable battlefield for me. However, it has transformed into the proposal gift that | now desire to present to you." Jasper massaged the back of her neck lovingly. He whispered, "How can | make you happy if that is gone?" In the dark, Alyssa's eyes welled up with tears. She was elated. She hugged him tight.
