Chapter 620

After Alyssa and Sean packed up, they prepared to return to Solana City with Mandy’s

medication for

Jasper.

“Lyse, are you in a hurry? Can’t you stay for dinner? It’s almost ready,” Lyla called out to

her and hurried

over, wearing an apron.

“It’s alright, Lyla. I have to get home soon,” Alyssa replied. She gently held Lyla’s face in

her hands and

examined her.

Then, she suggested, “Your birthday is just around the corner. You should take a few days

off, relax, and

stop doing all the chores. Treat yourself to some beauty spas and look your best for your

big day this

weekend!”

Lyla grumbled, “What birthday? I never wanted to celebrate it. The thought of all the

socializing on Sunday

tires me.” She sighed. “I’m only doing it for your dad.”

“No, you’re wrong. He’s doing it for you. Or rather, we’re doing it for you,” Alyssa

corrected her.

“Listen to me. Don’t overwork yourself, I have my spies at home, and they’ll report to me

if you refuse to

listen.

“If I’m upset, I’ll show up at your birthday party empty-handed and eat all your food! Heh

heh!*

Sean smiled at Alyssa’s playful act as she pretended to be angry. Her little button nose

and her pouted

cherry lips were adorable.

A smile lit up Lyla’s lovely face. She playfully pinched Alyssa’s cheek and said, “Family is

the best gift!”

Having grown up in an orphans

Lyla had been discovered by talent agents while performing in a

theatrical troupe. She had then signed with an entertainment agency and embarked on

her acting career.

She’d had a challenging upbringing compared to some of Winston’s other wives. She

hadn’t come from a

prominent family like Mandy, whose family ran a business, or Colene, whose father was a

gangster.

Therefore, she often felt inferior and believed she wasn’t a good fit for Winston and the

Taylor family. Her

only desire was to lead a low-profile life and avoid causing trouble for anyone.

Alyssa felt a lump in her throat upon hearing Lyla’s reply. Sometimes, she envied Winston

for his many

wives. She had the thought of inheriting Winston’s business and subsequently forming a

harem of her

own.

Too bad it was hard to come across decent men. It would be pointless to have a harem if

she could only

“Lyse.” A stern voice interrupted her thoughts. Turning around, she saw Jonah in his black

pastor’s robe with a Bible in his left hand. He gracefully descended the white marble

stairs.

“Hey, Jonah.

“Please don’t hurry back yet. I need to have a talk with you.”

In the tea room, Jonah made Alyssa some fragrant tea. She watched him prepare the tea

with much

admiration. His grace could rival that of a royal prince.

It seemed impossible to find Jonah a woman who could match his class and poise.

Jonah gently handed her the cup of tea and asked calmly, “Lyse, are you at all interested

in Jameson?”

“Huh?” Alyssa went blank and nearly dropped the cup.

“I’m serious.”

“No. Nada. Nein. Non,” Alyssa replied firmly, shaking her head.

“Okay then. You shouldn’t keep too much contact with him,” Jonah advised, sipping on his

tea elegantly.

“Um, Jameson’s the one who came to me. I never wanted to be close to him,” she argued.

“And you neither accepted his feelings nor rejected them? What does that make you, a

player?” teased

Jonah,

“What are you talking about? I’m not! How could you say that about your sister?” Alyssa

countered, her

face blushing in anger.

“Lyse, if you’re not interested in him, you need to set boundaries. What you’re doing now

is giving him

false hope.”
