Chapter 314

The tension in the air was almost palpable. Caught off guard, Alyssa inadvertently locked

eyes with Jasper. She furrowed his brow in annoyance.

Jameson, too, found himself unexpectedly caught up in the situation. He adjusted his gold-

rimmed glasses with an unemotional façade that quickly transformed into a sheepish

expression.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Taylor. I had no idea he’d be here when I invited you along. I’ll forgo Madam

Hammond’s autograph. Let’s go.”

Alyssa, however, remained composed. She flashed a cool smile and stood her ground.

“No need to worry. I’m perfectly fine. There’s no reason to avoid my ex-husband. I want

you to get that autograph to fulfill your mother’s wish.”

Jameson widened his eyes at her, seemingly touched by her words. In contrast, her ex-

husband’s face fell.

Jasper could hear her reply loud and clear as they stood not far away from each other.

Throughout the concert, he had been seething with anger, and he finally lost it when

Alyssa mentioned Jameson’s mother. He had the urge to confront her about the nature of

her relationship with Jameson.

Yet, he knew deep down that it was none of his business. He even imagined how she

might verbally humiliate him. After all, they were divorced.

But why did his heart always overpower his mind, leading him to feel a fatal attraction

toward her?

Suddenly, the door to the dressing room swung open.

“Jasper!” A shrill female voice cut through the tense atmosphere. Before Jasper could

react, a force pulled him into an embrace by a soft body in a green gown.

Zoe clung to Jasper like a sloth, her face nuzzling against his shirt with adoration. “Jasper,

were you here just to watch my performance? Was this meant to be a surprise for me?”

Jasper’s expression faltered, and his body tensed. He stole glances at Alyssa through the

corner of his

eye.

Landon did not see anything wrong with Zoe’s actions. To him, Zoe was acting in the same

manner when

she was younger, which was perfectly normal.

However, it didn’t occur to him that Zoe was now 22 years old, a full-fledged adult.

Her conduct toward Jasper was inappropriate, especially considering Jasper wasn’t her

brother. What

“Jasper, I want a cheek kiss!” Zoe boldly wrapped her arms around Jasper’s waist, making

an unabashed request without concern for the strangers around them.

If anything, their presence seemed to embolden her, as she was eager to flaunt her close

relationship with Jasper.

Jasper remained unmoved and refused to respond to her request. He had never given his

attention to anyone else since he spotted Alyssa in the theater.

Zoe quickly realized that Jasper’s attention was directed elsewhere. She followed his gaze

and saw Alyssa, the ethereal beauty. Jealousy consumed her as her eyes dimmed.

The rival of a beautiful woman was someone even more beautiful.

“Zoe, have you forgotten about me?” Landon was totally oblivious to the situation. He was

merely envious of Zoe’s treatment of Jasper. “How about a cheek kiss for me, too? Come

on over!”

“Hmph. Why don’t you get your cheek kisses from the women lining up for you?” Zoe

retorted, a mischievous grin on her face as she continued to run her fingers along Jasper’s

chiseled jawline.

She added, “You’re a bit too smooth for my taste. I prefer someone as cool as Jasper!

Totally my ideal type!”

Frowning deeply, Jasper turned his face away to avoid her touch. “Zoe, you-”

It was at that moment he spotted Alyssa walking up to him with calmness in her eyes.

He held his breath as his heart jumped in his chest. 1
