Chapter 609

The next morning, Alyssa woke up groggily, still disoriented.

Her eyes suddenly fluttered open, and she bolted upright in bed. She found herself in a

room,

“This is a man’s bedroom… Jameson’s room?” Alyssa gasped, her head throbbing as if she

had been

struck in the head.

The only thing she recalled from last night was the fight with Jasper. After that, her

memory blanked.

Heart racing, she quickly left the room.

In the kitchen downstairs, Jameson was making breakfast for Alyssa. He was wearing a

white shirt with

his sleeves rolled up.

He was bathed in the morning sunlight that cast a gentle, almost ethereal glow over his

features. He

looked like a soft painting.

Jameson frequently cooked, but he never bothered with an apron as he never wore the

same outfit twice.

“Jameson,” Alyssa called out to him. He cast a gentle glance and said, “Lyse, you’re up.

How are you

feeling?”

“Jameson,” Alyssa began.

“Lyse, didn’t we agree on ‘Jimmy’ from now on?” he teased. He busied himself around the

kitchen like a

dutiful spouse.

“You weren’t feeling well last night and fainted. I think it might have been a combination

of low blood sugar and some moodiness. Don’t worry-although you slept in my room, I

didn’t lay a hand on you.”

“I know,” she replied, rubbing her forehead in exhaustion. She wasn’t some inexperienced

young lady.

She had no idea about her low blood sugar, but one thing was for sure-she had been upset

last night. Her past traumas had a way of triggering painful reactions, putting her in agony

each time.

She was quite surprised that she had fainted from the psychological reaction. Jasper

Beckett was indeed

a curse.

“Breakfast is ready. Come, Lyse, Jameson coaxed her gently as he set the table. They

“It’s okay. I’m not hungry. Thank you for the offer, though, she responded. After spending

the night in a stranger’s home, she already felt uneasy. Having breakfast together was out

of the question.

She wasn’t an easy woman.

“Thanks for your hospitality. I need to go home because I have something to do.” Alyssa

thanked him and pressed her lips awkwardly. She headed to the entrance.

Feeling his chest tighten, Jameson hurried after her. “Lyse, did I upset you in some way?”

“No. I’m simply not used to staying the night at some random man’s place, not to mention

having breakfast together. That’s not my style,” she explained flatly with a forced smile.

Her words stung him, and he clenched his fists.

Jameson pondered silently, “Why had she allowed Jasper to hug her but declined to have

breakfast with

me?”

He couldn’t help but wonder what might have unfolded had he not intervened in time last

night. Would Alyssa and Jasper have kissed? Would she have invited Jasper Beckett to

spend the night at her villa?

Alyssa’s phone rang, interrupting their conversation. She saw the call from Jonah and

answered, “Hey,

Jonah.”
