Chapter 407

Landon’s eyes widened at the perfect “couple” in front of his eyes.

Jasper’s remark was meaningless, but paired with his longing gaze and his deep, hoarse voice, he

sounded like a man in love.

After some contemplation, Landon’s perspective shifted. He believed, to be precise, that Jasper was, at

most, a man tormented by unrequited love.

It was a pity Landon didn’t have a phone with him. If not, he would have taken a photo of Jasper’s

cheesy expression and showed it to the latter.

“And it seems you never learn,” Jasper frowned, his eyes simmering with anger as he chastised

Landon.

He continued, “We asked you not to make a move on Lauren, but you kept crossing our lines. Do you

think

it’s unfair to be slapped thrice?

“I, on the other hand, think that it’s not enough. You should be slapped every time we run into you.”

We?

Alyssa felt uneasy at the way Jasper had lumped them together. After all, he had once been a

heartless

man who wanted nothing to do with her.

“Mr. Beckett, please be careful with your choice of words. You and I are different individuals. Don’t you

lump us together,” she warned him coldly and headed quickly for the bedroom.

She added, “Or else, I’ll take offense.”

Jasper was left pursing his lips in awkwardness.

“Pfft! You’ve just failed to earn her favor! You had it coming!” Landon gloated, feeling happy as though

his friend’s failure had made up for the slaps he had endured.

The next second, Landon let out a muffled groan as he was suddenly punched on the abs by Jasper

with full force. The impact was so intense it almost forced his soul out of his body.

Meanwhile, Alyssa hurriedly made her way to the bedroom. It was a short but torturous walk as her

mind conjured up unsettling scenarios that might await her behind the bedroom door.

If Landon had truly tainted Lauren, she vowed to make him pay for it. Not even Jasper could save

Landon’s ass.

“Lauren!” Alyssa stood in shock after she burst into the room. The room was quiet, and there was not

the mess that she had braced herself for.

A sweet and cozy scent permeated the air. A bedside lamp shone gently on Lauren’s sleeping face in a

crushingly beautiful scene.

Alyssa tiptoed to the bed and knelt on one knee, her fingers tenderly tracing the curve of Lauren’s

warm

cheek.

Her chest tightened as her eyes fell upon the teddy bear nestled in Lauren’s arms. Before she knew it,

her eyes were brimming with tears.

Alyssa, who was fearless and faced all challenges with poise, would only break apart when she

witnessed

Lauren’s vulnerability.

Jasper walked in at that moment and witnessed Alyssa’s tender exchange with Lauren. His shoulders

trembled, and a lump formed in his throat.

Alyssa hastily wiped away her tears upon hearing his approaching footsteps.

The room was dead quiet. Jasper swallowed hard and caressed Alyssa’s damp hair. He urged her,

“Blow your hair dry. It’s chilly out there. You’ll catch a cold.”

“That’s none of your business.” She hastily stood up to avoid any physical contact with him.

A wave of

of emotions stirred in his chest as he clenched his fists. He failed to comprehend his actions, and

he had lost himself.

Jasper reported, “Don’t worry. Landon didn’t do anything to Lauren. He might be rash, but he knows his

limits because Lauren is my sister.”

“He might not have crossed the boundaries now, but you can’t guarantee he’ll do the same in the

future. You can’t trust a man’s words or his ability to control his sexual desires.” Alyssa looked

hardened.

Knowing that any reply would be useless because of the state of her emotions, he went to the

bathroom and came back with a towel seconds later, which he draped on her head.

He said to her, “Dry your hair before you go.”

“I told you there’s no need for she began to protest, but he had already taken the initiative to dry her

hair with the towel.

She was caught off guard. Alyssa’s heart wavered as she pondered, “Is he truly the Jasper I know?”
