"I-I'm sorry..." Maggie's face was as red as a tomato.
"Ms. Madison," Xavier's breath sank as he spoke softly, just enough for her to hear, "you look beautiful
today."novelbin
Maggie's face burned with embarrassment. Panicking, she hastily withdrew herself from his arms.
Jasper struggled to contain the overwhelming emotions within him. He hugged Alyssa tightly and
whispered, "Thank you for doing this, Lyse."
Alyssa leaned into Jasper's arms with a smile, reveling in her luck to have found Jasper as her other
half. "It's no big deal. I just asked everyone to come over for a meal.
"Oh, yeah. Lauren caught a chill from leaving the window open while she slept the past two days.
Landon is home caring for her. They won't be coming. He asked me to tell you to enjoy your meal and
eat their share."
"Okay." Jasper looked down at her face, his heart beating wildly as his eyes turned misty.
"Thank you, Madam Alyssa."
Xavier was incredibly excited to see Maggie. He was so touched that he found himself at a loss for
words, unable to stop thanking Alyssa.
"What is there to thank me for? Maggie is my lifesaver. I've been wanting to treat her to a meal but
have yet to find a good time to do so. This gathering had fulfilled my wishes."
As she spoke, Alyssa turned to look at Maggie warmly. "On the contrary, I should thank Maggie for
showing up."
"M-Ms. Alyssa, don't say that. I'm so honored to be here. enjoying a meal!" Maggie's face blushed from
panic as she rambled.
She could never have dreamt of attending Alyssa's gathering at her home. Wearing such a beautiful
dress and surrounded by such an astounding group of people, everything felt surreal to her.
"Jasper!" Tatiana waved at Jasper happily.
Rose, whom he had not seen for a long time, said as she sipped her tea, "You're late, Mr. Jasper. I
think you owe us a few drinks."
Despite Jasper winning back Alyssa's heart after all that transpired, Rose couldn't resist teasing him
whenever the chance arose.
Jasper said, "Okay."
"A few drinks aren't enough. Jasper, don't be so conservative. Let's do a few rounds." Julien wanted to
pull Jasper's leg.
Alyssa frowned, ready to retort, but was taken aback when Jasper agreed effortlessly. "Sure, let's do it.
We won't stop until we're both drunk."
Amidst the joyful banter, Axel came downstairs with ash on his face. He yelled at everyone at the top of
his lungs, "Hey! Cough! Cough! Is the grill cursed? Why won't it light up?"
"Axel, did you go out scavenging? Why do you look like this? Don't scare the ladies," Silas couldn't help
but tease him.
Jonah said lightly, "Silas, Sean, go and help. I'm sure both of you can get it started."
Silas and Sean were rendered speechless.
He walked past Axel and patted him on the back. "Thank you for trying, Axel."
Staring in astonishment, Axel couldn't fathom how Alyssa had managed to tame Jasper, the unruly
beast!
