Silas had hurriedly dropped, but his visit was for an important discussion rather than the dinner. Cyrus

might seem brash, but he was meticulous at times. Earlier, he queued for two hours just to buy Alyssa

and Tatiana's favorite desserts.

Cyrus was surprised to see Lauren—the young lady great at handicrafts—at the dinner as well.

Suddenly, he regretted not buying more of the dessert, as he didn't want to be perceived as favoring his

sisters.

"Woah, is this panda-shaped dessert a new item? How cute!" Tatiana was a sucker for cute treats and

desserts. She couldn't resist the temptation, grabbing one and gobbling it down right away.

Sean was taken aback by Tatiana's behavior, as she had always displayed impeccable table manners

and ate daintily like a bird. He realized he might not fully understand Tatiana's preferences after all.

Alyssa savored one of the desserts with a smile that left Jasper enchanted. He made a mental note of

the brand, planning to frequent the store for her sake. From now on, he wanted to learn everything

about Alyssa from her brothers. They knew their sister better than anyone else—even Winston was no

match for them.

Jasper wanted to give his best since the Taylor family had entrusted him with Alyssa's happiness. He

wanted to shower her with so much love and care that she wouldn't feel lonely without her family; he

could fulfill every single role in her life.

Even if she had any silly ideas in mind and brought up absurd requests, he would willingly sacrifice

himself to safeguard her happiness.

"Ms. Lauren, come and have a taste." Cyrus approached Lauren, a panda-shaped dessert in his hand.

He crouched in front of her and handed her the dessert with a warm smile. "I didn't know you'd be here,

so I did not buy enough for everyone. I'll make it up to you the next time."

Lauren immediately took a liking to the dessert. Rubbing her hands, she was about to accept it when

Landon snatched the dessert and swallowed it right away, to her dismay.

Cyrus squinted at Landon and slowly curled his fist.

"L-Lauren... Cough... Lauren... Time for dinner. You won't enjoy Jasper and Alyssa's feast if you indulge

in the dessert now." Landon tried hard to swallow until his face was flushed. He nearly choked to his

death, but he had to keep his composure as the Harper Group heir in the face of his love rival, maintain

his image, and protect his lover.

"Mr. Landon, this is not a zoo. There's no need to fight for food," teased Cyrus, looking amused at

Landon's reddened face. "By the way, you look like you need water."

Damn it! Did Cyrus just subtly refer to him as an animal? Landon grumbled in silence, thinking that the

He had wanted to clap back, but he feared he might barf if he spoke because the food was stuck in his

throat.

Sean and Tatiana might be oblivious to the changing dynamics, but Alyssa had noticed that Landon

was highly vigilant around Cyrus.

The minor episode did not dampen the merry mood. The guests savored Alyssa and Jasper's excellent

cooking. Both the hosts and the guests were satisfied with the perfect evening.

After dinner, Tatiana and Lauren retreated upstairs for mobile games, affording the others some privacy

for serious discussions.
