Rose was greatly moved by Silas' promise to take responsibility for her. Still, she steeled her heart,
shoved him, and left his embrace.
She brushed it off, "Don't worry about that. I'm not a fussy woman. That's not my first kiss anyway. You
don't have to take responsibility for me like a strait-laced man."
Then, she tossed her smooth hair and waved in a carefree manner. "Mr. Taylor, you're handsome, but I
prefer a rebel over a symbol of justice."
A rebel? Would she prefer the likes of the devilish Axel or even Landon Harper?
Landon was taken, but Axel was available. Besides, tonight's event saw the gentlemen and ladiesnovelbin
mingling freely like a blind dating occasion. Even he was momentarily tempted by the choices around
him.
Could she have developed an interest in Axel?
Feeling oddly threatened, he blurted out, "How about trying out different stuff?"
Rose, who had maintained her calm, turned her lips downward. She nearly lost her composure when
she heard the suggestion.
"I don't mind. I like my romance new and thrilling," Rose replied with a tantalizing smile like a vixen.
"But Mr. Taylor, are you sure you can handle a celibate who might have a change of heart at any time?"
Rose had a brief and hasty exchange with Alyssa before she excused herself, citing work matters at
the studio. Rose's assistant picked her up soon after.
Alyssa, worried about Rose and curious about what ensued between her and Silas, confronted Silas.
She found him with a long face on the living room couch, sipping on the tea that Mrs. Rosie had served
him.
"What's wrong? Did you bully Rose or something?" Alyssa accused him, choosing to side with her best
friend in the first place.
"I kissed her," he confessed.
There was no point in keeping it a secret at this time. Silas even hoped that Alyssa could offer him
some ideas.
Instead, he grunted, "Ouch!" as he felt a dull pain on his forehead. It turned out that Alyssa had plucked
a grape from the fruit platter and hurled it at his head.
She gasped, "No wonder... No wonder her eyes were red and swollen. She was in low spirits as well.
You did bully her!"
Then, she started plucking off the grapes and hurling them at him out of anger. "You're a jerk! How
could you flirt with my best friend? I'll do anything to make you marry her now. I'll make her my sisterin-
law!"
Silas stared at her in a daze despite the grape attack. He even stuffed a grape into his mouth as he
questioned, "You said her eyes were red from crying when she left. Was that true?"

Alyssa blinked in shock. She couldn't believe that Silas had gone straight to confession. As for forcing a
kiss on a lady... Any woman with some reservations would have hated that.
The squabble between the siblings attracted Jasper's attention. He showed up looking drunk, but his
mind was crystal clear.
He approached Alyssa and placed a hand on her waist. Then, he whispered hoarsely, "Why did you get
into a fight with Silas for no good reason?"
She twisted her waist in protest and made him her punching bag instead. "All men are jerks!"
