Chapter 1089
Jasper, who had given Zoe icy stares just moments ago, immediately warmed up at the sight of Alyssa.
Zoe had known Jasper for years. He treated her kindly when they were younger but always devoid of
passion. His reaction to Alyssa proved that Alyssa was special to him.
Green with envy, Zoe watched as Jasper approached the lady of his dreams and the love of his life.
Naturally, Alyssa noticed Jasper walking toward her. His towering height made him hard to overlook,
drawing attention along the way.
Jonah whispered into her ear, “Lyse, he’s coming.” Usually stern, he seemed to be teasing her at that

“Why pay him any attention? Just pretend he’s not there.” Alyssa pouted, though her heart raced. “I’ve

“Indeed…”
“Lyla Nelson is so lovely. I’m mesmerized!”
“There’s a reason she beat Sophia Kirkman to be the queen of TS Network back in the day!”
“What a pity! You youngsters have no idea how popular Lyla Nelson was. If it weren’t for that incident,
she wouldn’t have retired and given up opportunities to Sophia Kirkman. Sophia Kirkman owes her

He teased her softly, giving her a boost of courage, “You have nothin to be afraid of when you’re beside

get into trouble.”
Lyla choked up as she gazed into the eyes of her husband. She muttered, “I-I’m just worried I’d

Lyla stared at her feet and shook her head. She was fully aware that she’d never be Winston’s only
