Chapter 177
“Dad, Alice is in a relationship with Mr. Jonah Javier whispered in a low voleo “Please stop hooking herup with Insper because she’s dating someone new. You can’t force a relationship”
“That’s right. Sophia jumped on the train. Seeing the way Mr. Jonaly immediately picked her up aftershe tell our family, you could tell that their fling started way back.”
“Way back?” Newton glared.
“Yes. How else would their relationship grow this last? That’s why I told you II was useless to worryabout Jasper and her. A loveless marriage is meaningless. They might as well break free and find theirhappiness,”
“So, you don’t have to worry about Alice. She’s joining the Taylor Family they’re as good as we are,”Sophia muttered sollly with hidden intention. She wanted to shatter Newton’s Impression of Alice as aprim and proper lady.
Alyssa pursed her lips and stared at her feet. She had long anticipated the arrival of this day, and shewas fully prepared to face Newton’s resentment.
“Grandpa, please do not blame Alice,” Jasper surprisingly stood up for her and shot her a heavy look.“She does not owe me anything at all. I have nothing but good wishes for her relationship with Mr.Jonah.”
Still, he was reluctant to offer his well wishes,
Alyssa’s eyes wavered in shock. She did not recall the arrogant Jasper ever calling her by her name.She would have been over the moon for that occasion if they were still married, but all she could dowas smirk at his Jarring remark.
“Of course, you can do nothing except wish her well. You couldn’t win her back even if I asked you to.”Hulling and pulling, Newton hit Jasper twice to express his fury. “How can I blame her for datinganother man? It’s all your fault. You do not deserve a nice young lady like Alice as your wife!” 1
Newton’s statement was Jaw–dropping. The expression on Sophia and Liana’s laces crumbled. Theyfinally understood that it was impossible to start a drama to provoke Newton, for the old man washopelessly on Alice’s side.novelbin
After being reprimanded, a frustrated Jasper said flatly. “I’m glad you’re not upset with her.”
“Why would I be? I can’t dote on her enough! Alice, Mr. Jonah, please come up.”
Jonah and Alyssa exchanged looks before approaching Newton. Alyssa pursed her lips with a pitifulexpression. “Grandpa, I’m sorry for keeping it a secret from you.”
“It’s not a big deal. I am not concerned about that. All I want is for you to be happy.” He looked atAlyssa affectionately before turning to Jonah with a serious look.
Then, he said, “Mr. Jonah, you are an Important man who comes from a family full of sisters. Dopromise you’ll look after Alice and keep her from trouble at home. If you don’t, I will be knocking at yourdoor for Justice.”
Jonah cast an amused look at his little sister as he recalled how she had ridden Silas like a pony andscribbled all over Axel’s face in their childhood. He chortled and sald. “Sure, I promise.”
Newton might be old, but he was not senile. Seeing the love in Jonah’s eyes, he sighed gladly and saidwith regret, “Mr. Jonah, I’ll entrust Alice to you. I hope you give her what my grandson falled to offerher. Please show her love.”
The color drained from Jasper’s face at that moment, as though he was struck by lightning.
“I will,” Jonah replied gently with a determined look in his eyes. With a sharp Inhale, Jasper stared hardat Alice, the woman who was once his wife, now standing beside Jonah.
Feeling like an empty shell, he fought back tears.
