Chapter 121

Landon was frightened by the callous look in Jasper’s eyes.

Jasper had never been more incensed–not even when Linna left him and traveled abroad.

Landon was merely joking, which was characteristic of him–wealthy but indiscreet, even

more so

in front of his good friends.

He never thought that he’d cross a line by making a joke. It confirmed that the topic of

Jasper’s ex-

wife was taboo.

The bartender paled at the sight. Not many in Solana City had the guts to grab Landon

Harper by

his collar.

“Jasper, have you … fallen for Alice?” Landon had sobered up, and he was drenched in

cold sweat.

“Haven’t you noticed that you’ve been acting funny since the divorce?” Landon cast a

deep look at

him. “I’m your only friend from childhood. Aren’t you going to tell me the truth?”

“I don’t love her,” Jasper growled.

“Fine, got it. I’ll take your word for it.

“Landon Harper!”

Landon ignored Jasper’s wrath and added, “Jasper, I’ll repeat myself. If you have fallen for

Alice

and wish to get back with her, you have my full support.”

He continued, “If you are only acting out because you couldn’t stand seeing your ex–wife

with

another man, I hope you’ll allow me to take my shot. That’s because I know what my heart

wants-

I love Alice and want to pursue her.”

Feeling as though he was shot in the chest, Jasper let go of Landon’s collar and stumbled

backward. Landon stood up straight and breathed deeply to calm himself down as he

pulled the

blue diamond necklace from his pocket.

“She…” Jasper was stunned.

“She refused my gift.” Smiling bitterly, Landon explained, “Alice isn’t what you think she

is. She’s

not a materialistic woman. She returned the necklace to me after we left.”

He lamented, “Gosh, Mr. Jasper, how have you been treating Alice in the past? She saw

you as her

archenemy and grabbed at any opportunity to irk you. It’s not an overstatement to

describe

her mortal enemy.”

Jasper pursed his lips. Thinking back on those three years, he had turned a blind eye to

her feelings countless times. The memories of the badly damaged handmade suit and the

wardrobe.

After work, Alysaa left the hotel but didn’t head home. She managed to shake off Sean

and went to

a church on the west side of Solana City alone

The golden dome of the church glimmered under the lights, looking opulent and grand

Under a huge cross, Jonah, the pastor, dressed in a black robe and held a Bible in his

hands. He lowered his head and focused on his sermon.

Alyssa sat in the last row and listened keenly. Jonah had a melodious voice that would

wash away

the impurities of a soul.

After the sermon, the members of the church left Jonah closed the Bible and approached

his little sister with a gentle smile on his good–looking face.

“Why didn’t you tell me you’re here?” He tousled her hair.

“Un, I didn’t want to interrupt you in case you were busy” Smiling ear to ear, she replied

sweetly

“Do you have something on your mind?” He took a seat beside her and questioned.

“Can you tell?”

She let out a long sigh with a downcast expression “Jonah, I did something wrong today I

used

Landon Harper to get back at Jasper. I knew it was not the right thing to do, but I couldn’t

hold

back. When I saw Jasper with Liana and how he fought Landon for a necklace, I felt upset.”

She confessed, “I wanted to hurt him, even though it was meaningless because we were

divorced

I wanted him to have something to remember me by, even if it was from a place of spite.”

Jonah sighed wistfully and hugged her trembling shoulders “Lyse, you still have feelings

for him,

don’t you?”

“I admit that I haven’t gotten over him. After all, I’ve loved him for a very long time. I

devoted my youth to him. He was part of all my unforgettable memories.

Resting her head on Jonah’s broad shoulder, she got misty–eyed “Jonah, I’m so afraid that

I’d lose the ability to love another after how he’d hurt me I might never love a man the

way I loved him

“To live is to love. Lyse, as long as you’re still breathing, you will never lose the ability to

love.”

He lowered his gaze and patted her reassuringly “Do not fret. Your brothers will be here to

protect you no matter what happens. You just be your true self and pursue the love of your

life Live a life

without regrets”
