Alyssa tossed and turned throughout the night. Whenever she closed her eyes, her mind would befilled with Jasper’s charming look. She could feel his fingers on her waist vividly.
The thought made her sit up in bed suddenly. Why would her mind go there when they were
divorced?
Finally, she slept for two hours and went rowing for an hour in the morning to suppress her desire. Afterthat, Sean prepared a hearty breakfast for her.
She looked troubled while eating her bread and eggs and drinking her coffee.
“Ms. Alyssa, are you bothered by Ella’s case?” Sean grabbed a napkin and gently helped her to wipeaway the crumbs and oil on her fingers. His elegance could match that of a royal footman.
“I hate the feeling of losing.” She inhaled sharply and narrowed her eyes. However, she did not vocalizethe rest of her thoughts–that she hated the feeling of being under Jasper’s control
“How do you plan to deal with Betty Beckett?” Sean asked.
“I need some time to think over it. We need to settle the matter before the controversy dies down.”novelbin
Right then, her phone buzzed on the table. Her eyes widened when she saw the caller ID. It was a
call from Winston
“Winston, anything wrong with you?” She picked up and questioned him anxiously

“My dad wants me to bring Axel home for dinner.”
“Oh, that…” Knowing Axel’s character, Sean knew it’d be tough.
Winston and Axel are both equally bad–tempered. They’re two peas in a pod!”
She savored the sweetness of the chocolate, which calmed her down. “I know Axel well. He listens tome on almost everything except going home to see Dad. He’s a stubborn one. I need to work my brainsto coax him.”
After packing up, Alyssa went to work. When she drove past the hotel entrance in her Bugatti, shefrowned at the crowd of reporters there.
