Chapter 315
Alyssa raised her chin and confidently strode toward Jasper. He could feel his heart racing
as he
watched her approach, his whole body tensing up with anticipation. He desperately
wanted to approach her.
Frowning deeply, Zoe tightened her grip on Jasper possessively. She could tell that Jasper
knew the beautiful Alyssa. More than that, he seemed to care about Alyssa a lot!
Just as Jasper believed Alyssa was headed toward him, she breezed past him.
“Christina!” Alyssa left behind an astonished Jasper and called out to someone with a wide
smile.
“Oh! My sweetheart!” Christina strolled over from the far end of the corridor, waving
excitedly at Alyssa as though they were long-lost friends. They evidently shared a close
bond.
The three men stared agape. Even Zoe was dumbfounded at the scene. Christina had
always been distant and aloof. Throughout their three-year mentorship, she seldom
praised Zoe and often appeared annoyed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat did Alyssa do to elicit a rare smile from Christina?
“Darling, I did not know you were in Solana City! I would have freed up my time to have
lunch with you!” Christina exclaimed, embracing Alyssa with delight.
“You had your rehearsals to attend to. I wouldn’t want to interfere with your
commitments,” Alyssa spoke Grunslandish fluently in a singsong voice.
Naturally, she was dealing with Christina as Sharon. They were close to each other
because Christina had
commissioned more than one gown from her.
Alyssa possessed a charm that allowed her to effortlessly form friendships with those she
collaborated
with.
Memories flooded Jasper’s mind when he saw Alyssa conversing with a renowned pianist.
His shoulders
trembled, and he almost blacked out.
When Alyssa was newly married to him, she’d smile at him, bright-eyed.
Like any young lady, she’d chatter about anything she deemed interesting. However, he
had been too self-
absorbed to give her the attention she deserved.
Over time, Alyssa slowly transformed into a taciturn woman, an almost invisible figure who
quietly shared
her days with him at Seaview Manor.
During the three years, she withdrew from social interactions and did not form any
friendships. Instead, she immersed herself in art and music.
Meanwhile, he found her uninteresting and incomparable to Liana in every conceivable
way, even
regarding her as a blemish on his life. 1
It ultimately became clear that he was the one responsible for nearly breaking Alyssa. His
emotional abuse made her subdued and compliant.
Her profound love for him ended in tragedy, like the story of Titanic.
“Jameson, come over!” Alyssa’s eyes shimmered as she looked beyond Jasper in search of
Jameson. She beamed and motioned at Jameson.
“Coming.” Jameson hastily adjusted his tie and shirt. There was a hint of nervousness in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhis eyes as he approached Alyssa in great strides.
Jasper clenched his fists as he wallowed in bitterness. At the same time, Landon ground
his teeth in jealousy. The two looked like brothers in trouble.
When Jameson rubbed shoulders with Jasper, he suddenly came to a stop. He adjusted his
glasses and gave Jasper a smug and triumphant smile. His razor-sharp gaze cut through
Jasper’s heart.
Jasper powerlessly watched as Jameson stood beside Alyssa.
He wondered if that was all he could do, watching on as a bystander. Was there no way to
halt Alyssa and Jameson’s budding relationship?
“Jameson is a friend of mine. He and his mother are big fans of yours. He’d love to get an
autographed
CD for his mom,” Alyssa introduced Jameson warmly to Christina.
“OK! I’m more than willing to do so!” Christina was unusually nice to a stranger for
Alyssa’s sake. Not only
did she sign the CD, but she also asked her agent to take a group photo for them.
Everything looked so perfect at the moment. Bitterness coursed through Jasper’s veins.
