Chapter 1080
“You’re awake, Lyse.” Jasper’s voice was gentle and coy. She could. practically get pregnant with thatvoice in her ear.
Yet, she felt oddly secure.
“I’m not tired.” Alyssa got up and went to the balcony. She looked up at the moon in the warm eveningbreeze.
“Are you finding it hard to sleep after leaving me? No one is there to cuddle with you.” Jasper chuckled.
“Pfft, of course not! A man does not consume my everything.”
Alyssa’s face was burning up, but she was stubborn with her words.
“But Lyse, you are my everything.”
Her heart beat wildly at Jasper’s sudden declaration of affection. She felt her body was burning up andwas about to reach boiling point
She missed him so much.
She had been fine without the call. Now that she had heard his she longed for him endlessly.
“What did you do today?” She switched the topic.
“Apart from breathing, every second was dedicated to thinking about you.”
“Jasper, it’s fine to sweet talk. But too much of it is like having too much meat to eat. It gets tooqueasy.”novelbin
Jasper listened to her and talked about something serious. “I have something I haven’t told you. Themen I sent to Rolanda came back with news today.”
“Rolanda… Are you trying to find the maid that Sophia ordered to switch your mother’s medication fordepression?” Alyssa was as quickwitted as a fox. She immediately connected the dots.
“Yes, I’ve always wanted to search for her. However, she’s elusive and cautious. She no longer residesin the city area of Rolanda and has adopted a new name. The restaurant she operated shut down sixmonths ago. There are rumors suggesting that her husband. accumulated substantial gambling debts,and the restaurant was liquidated to settle those debts.
“My men scoured every corner of Rolanda. Eventually, they located. that maid in a village. She ispresently living in destitution, en age, abuse from her husband. Her son, who joined a gang at a youngage, is currently serving a two-year sentence for theft. Her life has reached rock bottom.”
“Hmph, serve her right! God is punishing her.”
Alyssa could hardly contain her anger. With gritted her teeth and a tone filled with hatred, she said,“Even if she lives the most wretched life, it will never absolve her of the heinous deeds she committed.An innocent life was sacrificed because of her greed. She should pay with a life for a life.”
“But before that, I have to capture her and hold her captive.”
Jasper was calm and collected. He carefully executed his plan. “Plus, everything has to be done insecret. If Sophia or Betty finds out about. my plan, they might intercept and kill her.”
Alyssa nodded. She naturally understood the gravity of the situation.
“Lyse, how about on your end? How is Uncle W-”
“He’s doing well. Everything is okay. “Alyssa tried her best to appear joyful.
“Are you sure? I sensed that you have something bothering you.”
Jasper was emotionally connected to her. Even over the phone, he keenly perceived the subtleemotions she attempted to conceal in her tone.
Alyssa took a deep breath. Her tone was gentle as she said, “Your should rest as much as you can. Iwill see you when I get back.”
Jasper’s cheerful voice was like an earworm, resonating in her ear and stirring her heart.
“I’ll always be waiting for you.”
Alyssa and Jasper were talking on the phone lovingly.
Jameson stood frozen in the corner, silent and tense. His gaze fixated on her delicate back as hegritted his teeth in frustration, murmuring to himself, “Lyse, I don’t care who you are with. Soon, you willbe mine and mine alone…”
