Chapter 1105
The Jesseltons’ arrival introduced a subtle change to the social dynamics. Javier and the Harpersreacted to the new guests with enthusiasm, though they did not grovel at Ezzo Jesselton as they wereon par in social standing. Still, they accorded the Jesseltons much more interest and respect.
Jasper was the only one who did not respond to the Jesseltons. Sitting like a statue beside Javier, hecast a passionate look at his lover. Alyssa, engaged in a conversation with Winston, wore a seriousexpression, oblivious to Jasper’s longing gaze.
Suddenly, Jasper felt a chill when Jameson, holding a champagne flute, leaned forward to obstruct hisview of Alyssa.
Next, Jameson slowly turned around to face Jasper with a smirk and raised the champagne flute athim.
Jasper froze from head to toe, tightening his grip on his wine glass in rage. Jameson arched a browand leisurely took a sip of the wine, a clear act of provocation.
Jasper held his breath and unknowingly broke the glass in his hand. The glass slid to the floor, spillingwine all over his outfit.
Upon seeing that, Zoe immediately focused on Jasper, running up to him and gasping, “Gosh, Jasper,your suit is stained!”
To everyone’s dismay, she crouched and attempted to wipe away the wine stain on his pants with ahandkerchief. The guests around them were appalled by her tasteless behavior, which was unbefittingof al Harper.
Cornelius and Penelope fumed at Zoe’s action, while Preston stifled a laugh as his niece became thebutt of the joke. Preston’s subtlenovelbin
Landon was too fed up with Zoe to stop her.
Landon believed that Jasper should teach Zoe a lesson this time so that she’d learn not to flirt withtaken men.
His thoughts were interrupted by Lauren, who tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “Landon …”
“Hm? What’s wrong?” He lowered his gaze and replied gently.
“I don’t know why… but… your uncle makes me uncomfortable,” As usual, Lauren expressed herthoughts without reservation.
She had lowered her voice, but Preston was ruffled when he overheard her remark.
“Look away from him, then. Better keep your eyes off filthy stuff!” Landon deliberately raised his voicewhen he replied to her while hugging her.
Preston’s anger uncoiled, but he dared not make a scene as he didn’t want to be seen aseavesdropping on Landon and Lauren’s private conversation.
Lauren obediently shut her eyes, looking adorable as ever. Landon gently caressed her soft hair andgave her a peck on the cheek, saying, “We’ll make a lot of cute babies in the future. Look away fromugly things-they’re not good for our babies.”
Lauren blushed shyly while Preston choked on his wine and coughed violently.
Meanwhile, Alyssa squinted with fury when Zoe touched Jasper. She inadvertently leaned forward, butshe wasn’t about to engage in a confrontation because she observed basic decency.
