“Well, that makes things easier.” Jameson smiled faintly and added, “You did a big favor
for me tonight.
Thanks for your hard work.”
“Mr. Schmidt, please don’t say that. I owe my life to you, and I’m willing to do anything for
you,” Amber
said softly, full of affection.

Millennium’s side.”
“But…”
“Listen to me.” Jameson’s voice turned cold suddenly.
Amber’s throat tightened as she muttered, “Yes, Mr. Schmidt.”
Alyssa got to the park first because she was nearby.
The temperature had dropped suddenly that night, and heavy snowfall made the typically
lively park
exceptionally empty.
Alone on a bench, Alyssa stared at the quiet snowy night. She remembered the past three
years when she used to come here during her free time, watching young couples sharing
cotton candy and ice cream as
they exchanged affectionate gestures.
She also observed young married couples coming with their children, creating a warm and
happy atmosphere. Back then, she ofter wondered when it would be her turn to be like
them.
Could she have a day like an ordinary couple, walking hand in hand with Jasper in the
park, sharing sweet
moments?
Alyssa’s heart tightened as she exhaled visible puffs of breath. Her eyelashes glistened
with tears.
At that moment, an ice cream truck passed by, prompting her to buy a vanilla ice cream.
Before she could take a bite, hurried footsteps crunched through the snow toward her.
“Lyse.”
Alyssa held the ice cream tightly. Her heart raced as she slowly looked up.
Standing before her was Jasper, his thin suit and head covered in snow. His face and ears
were red from
the cold, but what captured her attention the most were his beautiful eyes.
Alyssa felt a lump in her throat. The scenarios she had imagined so many times hadn’t
turned out as she
had expected.
“Lyse, don’t sit here. It’s too cold. You’ll catch a cold.”
Jasper’s throat tightened, filled with deep concern. He reached out his hand to her without
hesitation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlyssa swatted his hand away and spoke in a tone colder than the snow. “So, you do know
it’s cold. If you
have something to say, say it.”
‘It was a setup. Someone is plotting against me to create a scandal. Someone wanted to
come between us! Jasper explained urgently, his distress evident.
“Us?” Alyssa laughed out loud. “There’s no us
Jasper’s heart ached.
“Besides, in our divorced and estranged relationship, there’s nothing left to come between
us,” Alyssa
said.
‘Lyse, is this how you truly feel? Is this what you want?” Jasper’s throat felt like it had been
stabbed. A
strong sense of unease washed over him.
Alyssa stood up slowly, glaring coldly at him. “Jasper, even if this was a trap, wasn’t it a
fact that you went to the hotel to meet Zoe? It seems that Ms. Harper holds a significant
place in your heart,” Alyssa said.
‘I didn’t go to meet Zoe! I went to see you!”
