Chapter 273
Jameson smiled and sipped his tea with poise and grace, like a noble gentleman from a
regency . He chatted with Alyss a for a bit.
From their conversation, she learned that he had been caring for his mother in Kontina.
Due to Alzheimer’s, Lily Schmidt was unable to take care of herself anymore. Despite
multiple opportunities to return to Solana City, Jameson chose to stay in Kontina and build
his career there.
Alyss a recalled that Jameson came from a rather complicated family. There were four
Schmidt siblings in total, with Jameson being the youngest. His two brothers and a sister
were the offspring of the first wife, while Jameson was born to the second wife of the
Schmidt Family.
She knew little about Lily, who was once a close family friend. She even paid a visit to
the Schmidts’manor, but Lily left no impression on her at all.
“So, why did you come home this year?”asked Alyssa.
“I’m coming back to where I belong. Afterall, I’m the son of the Schmidt family. I want to
take what I am entitled to.”He lowered his gaze and toyed with the teacup.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe nodded in understanding. An offspring of a wealthy family who was not in the center
of power would be chewed up and spat out. A harmonious family like the Taylors was a
rarity.
“We have some time until dinner. Whatshould we do?”
His question caught her off guard.”Huh?”
“I’ll bring you to see some roses in thesunset.”He leaned toward her with an earnest
gaze.”I have a private rose garden that is open to the public for today. Let’s enjoy some
roses.”
Roses? Her eyes sparkled when she thought of her favorite flower. She had a rose garden
in the backyard of Heightsnew Villa as well. Mandy and the others took turns caring for the
garden when she was not around.
Without thinking, she agreed to it.”Sure! Let’s go!”
…
Alyssa took Jameson’s Bentley to his private rose garden. It would be an unnecessary fuss
to meet each other at the destination, given that they were old family friends.
The Bentley cruised down the street. Sean tailed the car as he gripped the steering wheel
tightly.
After seeing Jasper Beckett off, he had to rise to a new challenge—Jameson Schmidt, who
appeared more strategic than Jasper.
Last time, Jameson had stalked Alyssa to her neighborhood. Now, he made good use of his
connections to swap out Alyssa’s original date just to meet with her. He seemed well-
prepared and calculative.
Breathing heavily, Sean stared squarely at the back of the Bentley. He would never allow
Alyssa to be hurt by another man after her history with Jasper. He vowed to give his best
to protect her.
Meanwhile, Jameson and Alyss a were having a good time in the Bentley. She took off her
guise and revealed her bare face because she did not bring any makeup. Her long, dark
hair was pinned up. She was not overly fussy about her image as the daughter of the
Taylor family.
Jameson stole glances at her from the corner of his eye. Like a petal at dawn, she was
perfection, carrying herself in a dignified and graceful manner.
Struggling to collect himself, he asked,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid you remember what you called me when we met that night?”
“Hm?”Taken by surprise, she blinked.”I…don’t.”
“You called me a little bastard.”
He always had a way to render her speechless or embarrass her.
“My dad liked to call me a little bastardwhen he scolded me. You would poke fun at me by
mimicking him sometimes.”
“Uh, kids don’t know better. I apologizefor my vulgar behavior in the past.” Her cheeks
blushed in shame.
“It’s fine. You can still call me that.” Heflashed her a forgiving smile.
“I’d have to be dumb or thick-skinned todo so,”she grumbled in a hushed voice,
attempting to wave it away.
She continued, “I’ll go with Jameson. We’re not kids anymore. You are an established
businessman now. I need to
show you some respect.”
He narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to her. His voice was crystal clear and
velvety.”Whatever makes you happy.”
