Chapter 408

Was he the same man who had never performed an act of service as simple as pouring a glass of

water?

How could he have helped dry her hair? At that moment, it felt more like a horror story.

“Get your

hands off me!” she hissed through clenched teeth, but the soft noises had stirred Lauren.

Lauren curled up under the blanket but thankfully did not wake up.

“Go louder if you want to wake her up.” Jasper curled his lips into a grin and went on drying her hair,

happy

that he had figured out her weakness.

“Well, at least be gentle! I’ve been dealing with hair loss, you know. Your rough handling might just

make

me go bald!” She scowled, her cheeks flushed with anger.

“Sorry. This is my first time drying someone’s hair. I’m inexperienced…” Jasper apologized. As he

worked the towel through her hair, he could feel a warm, fuzzy sensation inside.

He promised, “I’ll do it better the next time.”

Alyssa had goosebumps on her skin and retorted, “I’m only letting you do this because of Lauren. Don’t

even think about a next time. I might just break your fingers.

Jasper was left momentarily speechless. His fingers continued to move gently and rhythmically,

massaging her scalp. Instantly, a wave of relaxation washed over her, and her eyelids began to droop.

She thought, “Damn it, he’s pretty good at this, though. It feels so amazing.”

When they emerged from the room, Alyssa looked like she had been crying due to the redness around

her

eyes.

Meanwhile, Jasper never once removed his eyes from her. There was an unreadable look in his eyes.

Landon looked at them in a daze, feeling like they had never divorced and were a perfect married

couple.

He couldn’t deny that Jasper looked absolutely breathtaking. In Landon’s eyes, no woman other than

Alyssa could match up to Jasper

*Landon, go home now, Lauren will sleep here tonight, Jasper urged emotionlessly. “It’s more trouble to

bring her home at this time. I’ll send her home when she’s awake tomorrow morning.

Landon echoed, “Oh, I’ll stay by Laurie’s side today as well!”

Landon felt guilty for kissing Lauren earlier that night. Although it was not a big deal, he knew he had

taken advantage of Lauren and would like to show his remorse by taking care of her.

“No!” Alyssa and Jasper shouted at the same time.

“Ms. Alyssa!” Sean hurried into the room and reported, “The security department manager informed me

that a helicopter is parked on our pad. We don’t know who the owner is.”

“A helicopter?”

“It’s mine,” Jasper admitted without hesitation, leaving Alyssa and Sean puzzled,

“Mr. Beckett went on a business trip in Edenfells City yesterday but rushed back in a helicopter after

you summoned him!” Xavier enthusiastically volunteered the information. “Ms. Alyssa, he has never

been so

attentive to any woman!”

In Xavier’s opinion, Jasper’s pursuit of love was hampered by the fact that he was overly reserved and

unable to express himself well.

At times, he wished Jasper possessed even half of Landon’s thick-skinned qualities.

Jasper’s embarrassment weighed heavily on his heart, and he quickly stopped Xavier, “You stay out of

this.”

*So, Xavier, am I supposed to praise your boss?” Alyssa smirked and added, “It only takes a wrong

deed. to demonize a good person. But a bad character is deemed honorable after one good deed.”

Landon covered his mouth as he chortled while Jasper remained speechless.

“Lauren is his sister. That’s a good reason for him to rush back. Is he going to earn brownie points with

that as well?” Alyssa questioned. Then, she left the room, totally ignoring Jasper and Xavier.

Sean gave Jasper a mocking look before leaving with Alyssa.

Xavier spat and cussed, “That little suck-up!” He thought Sean was a good-for-nothing who pulled

ranks

on others.

“At least he knows what to say and what not to,” Jasper commented and shook his head in

disappointment. “Xavier, you’re good, except you talk too much.”

“B-But I just wanted Madam to know how much you went through…” Xavier mumbled as he looked

disheartened.

“She has always known,” Jasper replied with a pang of heartache.
