Newton angrily pointed at Javier. "If you dare speak ill of Alyssa again, you won't be welcat Crescent Bay anymore!" Javier was about to retort when Jasper and Alyssa walked in, hand in hand.
They must have heard the conversation.
Accustomed to such situations, Alyssa remained composed, but Jasper's chilling gaze fixed silently on Javier's face. It was obvious that he was furious.
Javier gritted his teeth. Realizing it was best to leave, he grunted coldly and left with Rory.
"Grandpa, what happened?" Jasper hurried over to Newton, his gaze dark. "What's he up to now?" "It's nothing. I've scolded him anyway." Newton waved it off.

Alyssa smiled brightly, unconcerned by these matters.
"Alyssa, Mrs. Taylor and Cyrus visited earlier, and they just left. Cyrus took Lauren out." Mentioning Cyrus, Newton couldn't stop praising him. "Cyrus is really something. | really like him. | feel like taking him as my god-grandson so that he can be Jasper's brother." "You don't need to do that, Grandpa. Cyrus and Jasper already get along well." Alyssa smiled, realizing instantly where Javier's resentment cfrom.
"Grandpa, Cyrus is Lyse's elder brother. If you take him as a god-grandson since I'm older than him, he'd becmy younger brother," Jasper chuckled. "I don't think that's quite appropriate." "You punk. Ever since you've been with Alyssa, you've becmore clever. You're quite sensible now." Newton chuckled, teasing him.
Suddenly, he sighed wistfully. "Looking at the backs of a two, I'm reminded of your grandma and all the things we did when we were young." "Grandpa, do you... like the idea of Cyrus and Lauren being together?" Alyssa asked tentatively.
"Cyrus' feelings for Lauren are genuine. | can see that clearly," Newton said, his gaze deep. "However, when Lauren is with Cyrus, | notice a certain emptiness in her eyes. Alyssa, true love can't be bought with money: Lauren has grown up. Let her make her own decisions about whom she loves." It was the weekend, so the amusement park was naturally bustling with visitors.
On the way, Lauren had been fidgeting with the teddy bear in her hands to ease the awkwardness.
While driving, Cyrus occasionally stole glances at her, being very attentive to her mood.
It wasn't until they entered the park that Lauren gently broke the silence. "Thank you, Cyrus. And your mom too." Cyrus dreaded her thanking him, so he awkwardly scratched his head and pointed to a nearby shop.
"Wanna go in and look around? | see everyone wearing headbands. Let's buy stoo." Lauren nodded, and the two walked into the shop side by side.
When they came out, Lauren had a brown teddy bear hair clip on her head , with its two small ears sticking up cutely.

As for Cyrus, he had an alligator headband on, making it look like the alligator was biting his head from afar. "Cyrus, you look so funny!" Lauren covered her mouth and couldn't stop laughing. It was a rare moment.
"As long as you're happy." Cyrus' smile gradually stiffened.
Some passing ladies took out their phones to secretly take pictures of him . No one would want to miss out on a hot and funny guy. Only Cyrus was dying on the inside. He just hoped he wouldn't run into any colleagues.
Suddenly, his eyes sharpened as he scanned the surroundings.
As a seasoned police officer, his intuition told him that someone was secretly watching them.
