Feeling touched, Alyssa kneeled in front of Lily on one knee and flashed a brilliant smile.

“Don’t worry! I’ll

be a good friend to Jimmy.”

Jameson took off his jacket and strode to the kitchen in his white shirt and gray vest.

Alyssa, though a

guest, felt uneasy about having him cook for her. Hence, she followed him into the

kitchen.

‘I’ll lend you a hand. You don’t even have a chef. It would take ages to prepare the dishes,”

Alyssa softly.

suggested, her eyes fixed on the exquisite ingredients laid out on the table. She couldn’t

resist the urge to

start cooking herself and began rolling up her sleeves.

“No worries. Everything’s ready to go. The seafood dishes will be ready in no time,

Jameson reassured

her, a concerned look in his eyes.

“Lyse, I remember you’re allergic to smoke. It’s quite oily and smoky in the kitchen. Why

don’t you join my

mom in the living room for a chat instead?”

A surprised expression crossed her face as she tensed up. She stammered, “H-How did

you know about

my allergy?”

“Remember when Uncle Winston brought you to our house and Josh insisted on having

grilled meat? So

the maids set up a barbecue in the backyard.” Jameson fondly recalled, a chuckle

escaping him.

“When the smoke wafted over, Uncle Winston quickly whisked you away, mentioning your

allergy. I can

still picture the way he tensed up, like he was in the midst of a battle. He even scolded my

dad over it,”

Jameson reminisced.

“You mean the world to your dad, Lyse.”

Alyssa stared at him blankly with bitterness that turned into tears. Despite her best

efforts, her eyes.

brimmed with tears.

She had played a dutiful wife to Jasper for three years, but he had never known she was

allergic to

smoke. In contrast, Jameson remembered the small detail from a decade ago.

“It’s alright. I’ll help you,” she replied, standing by his side in front of the sink. She lowered

her head and

deftly prepared the fresh ingredients.

A glint sparkled in Jameson’s eyes, and he swallowed as he took a step toward her. He

mumbled, “Thank

you, Lyse.”

“I should be the one thanking you for the dinner invitation.”

“No, it’s not about the dinner,” he croaked.

“You’ve probably noticed my mom’s condition. Her memories are fading fast. Sometimes,

she doesn’t

even recognize me. She still thinks I’m an eight-year-old.”

“I understand. That’s one of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s,” Alyssa said with a sigh.

“I’m grateful that you’re willing to bring some joy to her with me,” Jameson said. Their

eyes met, and their

foreheads gently touched. They both seemed surprised and soon broke into laughter.

The villa was filled with warmth and merriment, a stark contrast to the wintry climate and

unforgiving

wind outside.

Standing by the villa like a statue, Jasper gazed longingly at the cozy lights within. He had

lost track of how long he had been standing there. In truth, he wasn’t sure how much

longer he could stay there.

Only one thought occupied his mind-he would wait for Alyssa to come out and meet him.

She would

come out to see him somehow, wouldn’t she?

All of a sudden, he felt a chill on his face that spread through his body. He slowly raised his

head and observed snowflakes drifting onto his pale face with his bloodshot eyes.

It was snowing the first snow in Solana City

He would love to spend many more winters in his life with Alyssa. He so wished to

experience the first

snow with her.

His breath condensed into a misty cloud as he shakily took his phone and dialed her

number.
