Chapter 609
The next morning, Alyssa woke up groggily, still disoriented.
Her eyes suddenly fluttered open, and she bolted upright in bed. She found herself in a

“This is a man’s bedroom… Jameson’s room?” Alyssa gasped, her head throbbing as if she
had been
struck in the head.
The only thing she recalled from last night was the fight with Jasper. After that, her
memory blanked.
Heart racing, she quickly left the room.
In the kitchen downstairs, Jameson was making breakfast for Alyssa. He was wearing a
white shirt with
his sleeves rolled up.

features. He
looked like a soft painting.
Jameson frequently cooked, but he never bothered with an apron as he never wore the
same outfit twice.
“Jameson,” Alyssa called out to him. He cast a gentle glance and said, “Lyse, you’re up.
How are you
feeling?”
“Jameson,” Alyssa began.
“Lyse, didn’t we agree on ‘Jimmy’ from now on?” he teased. He busied himself around the
kitchen like a
dutiful spouse.
“You weren’t feeling well last night and fainted. I think it might have been a combination
of low blood sugar and some moodiness. Don’t worry-although you slept in my room, I
didn’t lay a hand on you.”
“I know,” she replied, rubbing her forehead in exhaustion. She wasn’t some inexperienced

She wasn’t an easy woman.
“Thanks for your hospitality. I need to go home because I have something to do.” Alyssa
thanked him and pressed her lips awkwardly. She headed to the entrance.
Feeling his chest tighten, Jameson hurried after her. “Lyse, did I upset you in some way?”
“No. I’m simply not used to staying the night at some random man’s place, not to mention
having breakfast together. That’s not my style,” she explained flatly with a forced smile.
Her words stung him, and he clenched his fists.
Jameson pondered silently, “Why had she allowed Jasper to hug her but declined to have
breakfast with
me?”
He couldn’t help but wonder what might have unfolded had he not intervened in time last
night. Would Alyssa and Jasper have kissed? Would she have invited Jasper Beckett to
spend the night at her villa?
Alyssa’s phone rang, interrupting their conversation. She saw the call from Jonah and
answered, “Hey,
Jonah.”
