Jasper maintained his composure as he greeted Winston. Though he had a strained relationship with

Winston, who had shown him attitude and given him trouble, he treated Winston with respect due to his

love for Alyssa and his admiration of Winston's integrity.

However, unlike Jameson, he refrained from excessive flattery toward Winston. He reminded Winston,

"Mr. Taylor, it's chilly at night. Please take care not to catch a cold."

Jasper carried himself with humility and warmth, and Winston gradually found his presence pleasant as

he nodded at the young man.

Meanwhile, Alyssa grew concerned when she noticed the absence of bodyguards around her father.

She approached him, chiding, "Dad, why didn't you bring along your bodyguards? You shouldn't have

come here alone. What if ..."

"Neil is trained in combat. Besides, I don't want to disturb my bodyguards' rest. I'm curious about your

life in Solana City and your living space." Scanning the villa, he remarked, "It's small but functional.

There's not much space, but at least it's cozy."

"Did you break in and snoop around?" Alyssa blushed, yet she still argued with Winston.

She was embarrassed at the thought of showing her love nest with Jasper to her father. After all, the

place was full of their belongings now.

"Why do you always assume the worst of me? Can't you see me like an ordinary man?" Looking

speechless, Winston explained, "Your maid opened the door for me and served me some tea and

desserts. I tasted the desserts—they were pretty nice. I even made Neil pack the leftovers."

Neil displayed the container in his hand.

She instantly stomped in anger and tried to grab the container, only to be stopped by Jasper. She

seethed, "Winston, you wretched old man! I made those desserts for Jasper. Don't touch them!"

Grumbling, she added, "Why don't you spend your time on your three wives? Jasper only has me. How

could you take the desserts I made for him before he even had the chance to taste it? Leave it!"

"Lyse, it's fine ..." Jasper held her back with an amused yet desperate look.

"Tsk. Consider it a gift for your dad. You can make him desserts anytime in the future, but it's not like I

always get to try your cooking. I'd have to travel to Solana City for that." Winston playfully glared at

Alyssa, guarding his desserts.

In the future? Alyssa and Jasper exchanged looks. During this visit, Winston did not seem to treat

Jasper any differently, but his attitude seemed to have softened.

In the past, Winston badly wanted to separate the two. However, tonight, not only was he friendly with

jasper, uul ne also made intriguing remarks.

Jasper's heart raced, and his palms became sweaty. Still, he dared not have high hopes and was

content with the improvement in his relationship with Winston.

In the end, Alyssa lost to Winston, who victoriously laid claim to the desserts. She was annoyed

because she had spent an afternoon making the desserts for Jasper, just to be robbed by Winston.

"Hey, you seem pretty energetic. Have you fully recovered?" Winston expressed concern about her

injury.

"I'm doing fine. I'm not that vulnerable." She straightened her back, lifting her chin proudly.

"Lyse, don't push yourself. Recovery doesn't happen this fast. It will take months, you know?"

Frowning with worry, Jasper called her out, "You were losing sleep over pain last night, and it was

challenging for you to turn over. Why didn't you tell your dad the truth?"
