NovelEnglishLyse, Jennifer was from Kontina," Mandy commented. A sad look flashed across her eyes.
Alyssa mumbled softly, "Mom..." Her heart ached.
Mandy sat down by her side, opened her arms, and pulled her into a warm embrace.

"Lyse, I'll suggest that you go and keep him company. If not, he might get caught up in his thoughts when he's alone, and get so down that he has trouble sleeping again." || With sdesserts in her hands, Alyssa walked toward Winston's room. Right after she turned the corner, she bumped into Axel, who had just returned from the frosty winter night.
"Axel, you're back!" "Hi, Lyse." Axel strutted up to her with his hands in his pockets.
"I haven't seen you all day. Everyone has been asking where you were. Where did you go?" Axel's lashes fluttered. Hesitantly, he pulled out an exquisite-looking, red-colored velvet box from his pocket. He presented it to Alyssa.
"I chose this, Lyse. What do you think?" Alyssa was taken aback slightly. She received the box in her hands and opened it, and in it was a handmade, teardrop-shaped sapphire necklace decorated with diamonds around it. Even in the dim corridor, the necklace sparkled brightly.
"Axel, is this... what you're giving to Amber? It's beautiful!" Alyssa asked excitedly.
"Yeah. Amber already has a necklace, but it's already really old. So, I was thinking of giving her a new one. Tooka long tto choose this, but I still feel like it's a bit lacking." Axel scratched his head. Then, he sighed and consoled himself, "Actually, forget it. I don't really have an eye for aesthetics. I've tried my best." "The reason why it's a bit lacking is because you didn't askto make it for you!" Alyssa pouted and said querulously, "Have you forgotten that I am Alexa, a top jewelry designer? I can design something better than this!" "Lyse... I..." "Is it because it's a present for Ms. Altman, so you felt bad about asking me?" Alyssa put her hands on his shoulders and squeezed his muscles hard. She shook him so vigorously that he was almost lseeing stars. "Am I an outsider to you, or is Ms. Altman an outsider to you? swr "Since you've set your sights on her, that makes her my future el sister-in-law. Never mind a necklace, I can even design pieces of jewelry for her from head to toe! Why are you being so meek?" S "My bad, Lyse. I was overthinking it.' Axel's heart thumped. A look of gloominess cacross his eyes. "Although I've set my eyes on Amber, I was afraid that it wasn't the case for all of you.
"I'm afraid to trouble you all over her matters. You might not say it out loud, but you might feel resentful on the inside." "Of course not, Axel." Alyssa shook her head. With a tender gaze, she added, "No matter when or what happens, you have to believe in your loved ones. We will always give you our support.

After Axel got his hands on a few pieces of dessert, Alyssa pushed open the door to Winston's room and walked in.
The living room was empty, and so was the bedroom.
Instead, she heard Winston's agitated voice coming from the adjoined study. She could hear him clearly from behind the door.
"It can't be that woman! So what if she is the king's daughter? My son is equally noble. He's rich and good-looking. The title of prince consort is just a useless title that I can't be bothered about!"
