Chapter 717

Jasper recalled the many times during their marriage that he was irritated at Alyssa.

He felt she took too long in the shower. He found her skincare routine fussy. When she

prepared a table full of food for him, he thought she wasted her time in the kitchen.

As these mundane memories of their marriage flashed before his eyes, they stung his

heart.

The bathroom door creaked open. Alyssa appeared, her hair wrapped up in a white towel.

She emerged from the condensation bare-faced, looking as lovely as ever.

Jasper was captivated by her youthful and radiant face. He gulped and remarked, “You

look even better without makeup

“That’s enough. You’ve said the same thing before. Don’t repeat yourself.” Alyssa shot

back, holding the towel on her head as she sat on the couch with a gloomy expression.

She added, “Don’t force yourself to give compliments if you’re not good at it. “You look

better without makeup? Obviously! I look gorgeous all the time!”

“Yes, you’re absolutely gorgeous,” he agreed, staring at her blankly. “I’ve always thought

you were beautiful.

“Of course you do,” she dismissed him.

“I’ve found you beautiful since the day we got married,” he confessed sincerely.

“Do you even believe what you’re saying?” She smirked in disdain. “You wouldn’t have

ignored me if you

truly thought I was beautiful.”

Jasper fell silent when he realized that anything he said would get him into trouble.

He made a decision to gradually win her heart back.

After all, she was like a coconut that was tough outside but soft within, wasn’t she?

Things would eventually get better, and they would reconcile one day.

She said, “I’m sleepy. You should sleep too.” She stretched like a cat and was about to lay

on the couch

when she heard a knock on the door

Xavier inquired from the outside, “Mr. Beckett, Madam, are you both heading to bed now?”

Alyssa frowned. Jasper beat her to the response, saying. “No, come on in.”

She had never looked down on him, but she was scarred. Even though he was sincere, she

couldn’t bring herself to get closer.

She had once loved him like a moth to a flame, but he had shattered her hopes, making it

difficult to rekindle her passion for him.

“Lyse, I’ll freshen up a bit. Just wait for me,” he said, worried that she might avoid his

room due to his smell. He tried to leave the bad.

She freed herself from his grip and replied, “Quit it. You shouldn’t be in contact with water.

Keep stinking. I’ll wash up.”

Jasper felt weak but was reluctant to show his vulnerability due to his male ego. He

believed he should be protecting his woman.

Besides, he considered a minor head injury insignificant. Having been shot on the

battlefield before, he was perplexed by his frailty and felt ashamed to display it in front of

Alyssa.

He leaned against the headboard and listened to the sound of the running water in the

bathroom. It had been a while since he had experienced such simple peace and

happiness.

Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes as he grasped the bedsheet.
