Jasper slowly met Newton’s gaze. “I’ve held back as much as I can. But there will not be a next time.Next
time, I’m not holding back.”
Sorrow filled Newton’s heart, reflecting on his face.
“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I shouldn’t have brought this up. Jasper held his grandfather’s hands. “I know you!would have wanted Justin to lead this family if that hadn’t happened to him. I know you’ve had the
highest hopes for him since he was young.”
“Jasper…”
“I owe everything to you, Grandpa, and to Justin, too.” Jasper smiled lightly, forcing his tears back. “Inever dared hope to have a grand father who truly loved me, so now that I’m blessed with one, I daren’t
pray for more.”
“No, listen to me, Jasper!” Newton cried, placing both hands on Jasper’s shoulders. “You and Justin areboth my grandsons. I love you two just as equally! Even if your brother fully heals one day, or even ifwhat happened to him never did, I would still choose you to take over the family business!”
Jasper was stunned, “Grandpa…”
“It doesn’t matter if the rest of the family disagrees with my choice. You’ll always have my support!”
Alyssa was nearly flat against the door, trying to eavesdrop on the two’s conversation. The door noise.insulation was surprisingly good, making it difficult to hear. She couldn’t make out what Jasper said butcould thankfully hear Newton’s, given how loud he was.
“Jasper’s brother? What happened to him? Sounds like something serious…” Alyssa murmured toherself.

Why did it sound like Justin’s condition had something to do with Jasper?
The door suddenly opened, making Alyssa slamn into Jasper’s chest.
Jasper stared down at her in surprise.
Alyssa yelped, coming back to her senses.
Newton called from inside the study just then, “Is that Alice, Jasper?”

“Goodbye!” Alyssa hurriedly turned away, panic making her heart flutter.
But Jasper pulled her back by the waist until she was tucked in his arms.
