Chapter 606
The dinner was filled with merry laughter. Jameson wanted to serve a bottle of wine from
his precious collection, but Alyssa found herself sipping on juice, thanks to Lily’s
insistence. Over the course of the evening, she downed various types of fruit juices.
After dinner, Claire entertained Lily in order to give Jameson and Alyssa some personal
time. Jameson then took Alyssa on a tour of his villa, graciously sharing his antique
collection.
They marveled at notable pieces such as Paulo Gagarin’s “Impressionist Oil Landscape
Painting”, Van Gogh’s “Landscape with Snow”, a vase from the Victorian era, and many
more treasures, each of which
would be worth a significant amount at auction.
Alyssa stood before the table, examining the paintings with a magnifying glass. Her eyes
sparkled with
excitement, clearly infatuated with the items.
“Do you like them? I’ll wrap them up for you to take home if you wish,” Jameson offered
with a warm
smile as he rested his arm on the bed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile she
was admiring the paintings, he was admiring her beauty,
“Wrap them up for me? Each of these items is worth at least a million or more, and they’re
all authentic. I can’t imagine their previous owners parting with them willingly. Why would
you offer these to me?” Alyssa playfully teased.
She straightened her posture and winked at him through the magnifying glass. “Are you a
collector or a seller? A true collector, like Winston, would never allow anyone to touch their
collection, let alone part
with it.”
He grinned, responding in a low and charming voice, “My generosity extends to only two
people-you and
Uncle Winston.”
A warmth enveloped her, and she pursed her lips. Jameson was the polar opposite of
Jasper. He was a smooth-talker, whereas Jasper wouldn’t say something nice even under
duress.
“Winston is a greedy old man. If he knows you have something good, he’ll take advantage
of your
generosity.”
“He’s welcome to take whatever he likes. I don’t have much to offer, just a few antiques
that he
appreciates. Naturally, I would share them with him,” Jameson replied earnestly.
“What about you? Is there anything you would like, apart from claiming your rightful share
in the Schmidt
Group?” Alyssa asked, her tone intentionally probing.

He fondly considered responding with “You,” but instead he remarked, “It’s snowing.
Lyse.”
“Is it?” She radiated excitement, her eyes glittering like stars.
Snowy days held a special place in her heart. When she was a child, her mom used to take
her to the backyard to enjoy the snow, clutching her hands and sliding their fingers across
the layers of snow and
ice.
Jameson suggested, “Let’s watch the snow.
Guiding her to the balcony, he pushed the doors open. She was captivated by the scene

of snowflakes danced through the e sky.
“How pretty!” she exclaimed into the night sky.
Behind her, Jameson quickly removed his jacket and draped it on her shoulders
The view is great, but we don’t want you to catch a cold.”
He gently reminded her,
The cold in her body was immediately replaced by the warmth from the jacket. When she
turned to face him, she noticed his intense gaze and stuttered, “Your..
Jameson’s heart raced, and his breathing became uneven
“Your glasses are frosted. Can you still see the snow?” she asked with genuine interest. He
paused and grinned, not bothering to conceal his feelings for her.
He thought, “Alyssa, did you know there was a saying in Kontina? They said that you
should watch the
first snow with the woman you would like to marry.”
Despite her cold hands, she looked joyful as she raised her hands to catch snowflakes.
Jameson was overcome with a sudden urge to take her hand and never let go.
Just then, her phone rang, disrupting the perfect moment. Her expression changed as she
glanced at the
screen.
