Die Jasper nared, nearly causing Xavier hit the brakes. He bit his lip, staying quiet for the rest of thedrive.
Jasper leaned back in his seat, feeling unbelievably tired.
Ob then did he remember the quartz shards he had picked up before they left.
The shards had pierced his skin, causing drops of blood to ooze and bleed from his palm.
What had gotten into him? He had wanted so badly to bring Alice home tonight, away from JonahTaylor and his family, away from Belbank.
All he had wanted was for Alice to come home with him.
After seeing Axel off, Alyssa went to console her father alongside Jonah and Silas. Only after that didshe finally get some time to herself.
She remained deep in thought for a while. In the end, she sent Mandy, Colene, and Lyla each a textmessage. “Come to the garden, please. I’ll be waiting in the Cloud Pavilion. There’s something I haveto tell you guys.” 1
Five minutes later, the three women had gathered in the garden. Their usually boisterous selves werenow silent and calm before Alyssa.
Alyssa was sitting in a gazebo, arms crossed over her chest, and her brows knitted tightly. It looked likeshe was about to give them a
lecture.
Mandy and Lyla shared a look but said nothing.
Colene, as usual went straight to the point. “Did you want to tell us something, Alyssa? You need tostart talking because we have no idea what’s happening.”
Alyssa lightly shook her head. Colene was as direct as ever.
“Is there anything you want to tell me about after you and Mandy stepped out in my defense earliertonight?”

“Who’s Bobo?”
Mandy answered. “Colene’s pet alligator. Winston gave it to her for her birthday last year.”
Alyssa was left speechless.
Lyla noticed that Alyssa’s face had changed a shade, so she quickly went to stop Colene. “Alright,Colene. Why don’t we change the topic
“I’m being 100% honest here! That’s what family is for!” Colene cried, getting riled up. “Alyssa, youcan’t deny that Jasper is the asshole of the ages. Even my Bobo is more humane than him!
“You married him and gave him your all for three whole years. You gave up your life here to suffer thereas what? His nanny? Look what he did to repay you! He’s a god–awful douchebag! Men like himdeserve to be hit by a car!”
“He already made it clear that he never loved me. I’ve anticipated he would go and marry someone heactually loves, so there’s no point
holding on.
“What I want to know is why did you all have to drag this thing out between us? It adds nothing to mylife.” Alyssa massaged her aching
temples, sighing.
She continued, “The more we drag things on, the more suffering arises. It will only chip away at oursanity, bit by bit. Why can’t we just let

Can we place not that that Cone? Lyla added wordly “Alyssa doesn’t want to bring that up.”
Alyssa blundy looked up at the three women, holding her tears back. “I never told him. I never toldJasper I was pregnant with his baby.”
