Silas, who realized he shouldn't have yelled at Alyssa, hurriedly apologized, "Lyse, | was wrong. | had too much to drink and made a mistake there. I'm sorry.” "Are you going to claim that you kissed Rose because you were drunk? Hmph! That's men for you! Irresponsible brats who flirt and go." "No..." Silas closed his eyes and shook his head. "l was sober when | kissed her. | knew exactly what | was doing.
"Lyse, | love Rose, but unfortunately, she doesn't feel the same toward me. This one-sided relationship is doomed from the start.
"Besides, she doesn't want to get married and likes to chase after the thrill. We don't have a future together because we don't share the same values. Oh well, it looks like you'll never get a sister-in-law. I've let you down." "Silas!" Silas left the villa dejectedly without another word.

It so happened that the cab had arrived. Silas was about to get in when Jasper stopped him.
Jasper began, "Silas, stop. | have something to say." Looking at him in a daze, Silas asked, "What is it?" "Relationships can be worked on. Even if it is a one-sided relationship now, you can give it a try if you're serious about Ms.
Emerson. What if you succeed in changing her heart? Give it a try so you have no regrets,” Jasper earnestly advised.
Squinting hard, Silas mused, "Why didn't you fall for Lyse in your three years of marriage, then?" Jasper choked in surprise. Silas was indeed a professional expert who hit where it hurt.
"Didn't you go through a huge ordeal, even risking your life and turning our family upside down before you reconcile with her?" Silas argued.
"But | won her heart in the end," replied Jasper bitterly. "If you are serious and determined.” "I might sound like | was taking a jab at you. Well, it was a jab at you, but | have another reason for telling you this," Silas confessed with a heavy sigh, his bright eyes now clouded by worry. "I'm not as determined as you are, and | don't want to kick up a huge fuss over love.
"Dealing with Lyse, a carefree and romantic spirit, is troublesome enough for our family. They do not need another Taylor following in her footsteps.” Silas added, "A deep and passionate love doesn't last long. The wiser you are, the deeper you hurt. Jasper, you're no doubt a lucky one. Not many could share your luck, and not everyone is willing to go down the same path as you.
"All l want in this life is to live up to my principles and protect my sister, just like what my late mother wanted. That's all | hope for." The driver leaned over the car window and grumbled irritatedly, "Are you getting in or not?" "Yes! Yes! Let's leave." Silas calmly waved goodbye to Jasper and hastily hopped into the car.
The cab soon disappeared in the deep of the night, leaving Jasper frozen on the spot with a frown.

Sean sent Tatiana home while Xavier dropped off Maggie. Meanwhile, Julien pestered Jonah to send him home.
"It's only 11:00 pm now. You're a six-foot-tall gym rat who's totally capable of getting home on your own," Jonah said impassively.
He still hadn't gotten over Julien's impudence at dinner tonight.
"But | had quite a lot to drink tonight. | feel dizzy. Do you have the heart to see me leave alone? "It's one thing to be robbed on my way back, but what if | was sexually assaulted? It's not safe out there for men too, you know.
Gosh, my head is spinning..." Julien pressed his limp body against Jonah.
Anyone would have gasped at his overly brazen and saucy behavior.
However, Jonah kept his gaze on the floor without even giving Julien a look.
"Jonah, you should get Julien home," Cyrus chimed in.
