Chapter 662

Lauren looked up and met Alyssa’s gaze with her clear eyes. Despite the silence, Alyssa

read Lauren’s

mind just by exchanging looks.

Jasper looked over and comforted Alyssa with a hint of pleading, “This is the first time

Lauren’s had a

crush on someone and defended him. Just think of it as Lauren going on a trip. If she’s

happy with

Landon, let’s give them a chance.”

“I can tell that Lauren cares about him. I don’t want to get between them. I just-” Alyssa

stared into

Jasper’s eyes.

He smiled understandingly. “I know. I get it.” He only reserved this side of himself for her.

He added, “But don’t you forget that Lauren has me too.”

It was a curt and powerful statement. She felt her heart skip a beat and hurriedly looked

away.

Jasper had always been taciturn, but each word he spoke carried weight.

All the family members took their seats at Alyssa’s table, except for Winston and Lyla.

Jasper insisted on

sitting beside Alyssa, unfazed by the disapproving looks from those around her. He had

thick skin, to say

the least.

“Mr. Beckett, you’re seated at the wrong table.” Cyrus spoke his mind as he shot daggers

from across the

table, as though he were examining a suspect.

“This table is reserved for my family and our close friends. What are you doing here?”

All eyes at the table turned to Jasper, and a hush fell over them.

Jasper responded with a smirk, meeting Cyrus’s challenge head-on while casting a tender

gaze in Alyssa’s direction. He insisted, “I’m exactly where I should be-right beside Lyse.”

Alyssa nearly spat out her drink. She, spun around and glared at Jasper, who looked at

ease.

Cyrus muttered under his breath, “That jerk.” Then, he took a sip of water.

“I don’t know the Beckett family’s rules, but we don’t allow animals at the dinner table.”

Colene

immediately fired at Jasper, implying that he was a beast.

Colene crossed her legs and leaned backward while drumming her calloused fingers on

the table. She

had the air of the daughter of a gang leader.

Jasper frowned silently and clenched his jaw. No one would feel good after being called an

animal.

He might be hopelessly in love with Alyssa and desperate to leave a good impression on

her family, but that didn’t mean they had the right to insult him.

“Enough now. Since Grandpa is here tonight, let’s get along well and enjoy dinner for his

sake.” Alyssa helped Jasper out, thinking that her family was a little harsh on him.

At that moment, Sean called out to Alyssa, drawing her aside and whispering, “Mr.

Jameson Schmidt is

here.”

Jasper picked up on that, looking visibly upset.

Alyssa responded flatly, “Oh? I didn’t expect him to join us. Bring him in and seat him at

the Schmidts’

table.”

“The situation is somewhat complicated,” Sean informed.

After a pause, he lowered his voice, saying, “Mrs. Schmidt is here with him.”

Alyssa gasped in shock, her eyes widening. “She’s here too?”

Sean confirmed, “Yes, they’re waiting outside the hall. What would you like to do?”

Alyssa immediately followed Sean and left the hall.

Jasper felt a bitter sense of loss after being left behind. He tightened his grip on his glass,

dressed family members.

His neatly slicked-back hair and gold-rimmed glasses added an intellectual touch to his

appearance.

“Jimmy, let’s… let’s go home. I’m scared…” Lily mumbled, tugging timidly at Jameson’s

shirt.

Thanks to Jameson, she was all dressed up in an exquisite magenta dress, and she wore

an expensive

hairpin on her bun.

Although her set of pearl jewelry seemed simple, it had been exclusively designed for the

royal family in

Kontina and was more valuable than diamonds.

She was Jameson’s only family. Therefore, he wanted the best for her. He beamed at her

and held her

hand, reassuring her, “Don’t worry, Mom. I’m here with you.’

“But…
