Restore scroll position Chapter 537“I love you, Alyssa Taylor. I've fallen for you.”Alyssa held her breath and stumbled backward without knowing it. Only she would understand the mixed feelings from hearing Jasper's love confession.They could hear each other's heart beating in the silence.“I would have accepted your confession right away if it happened in the three years we were married. But it's too late now. I told you before that my feelings for you had expired. I no longer love you,” Alyssaresponded with a stoic look in her eyes“I'm sorry. I know my confession comes too late, but I'm not one to give up when I set my mind to something,” Jasper argued, his forehead dotted with sweat.He wanted to go up to her but feared that he might scare her off. “It's fine if you don't love me. I'll be theone who sacrifices for you this time around. I'll-"He wanted to say, “I'll love you". He never told Liana he loved her, but he had an urge to use the word onAlyssa.“Enough. I do not need the love from a man I'm not interested in. How many times do I need to repeat myself?” To shut him up, she threatened, “I'll turn around and leave if you keep spouting nonsense.”That immediately silenced him. After a while, when Alyssa looked much more composed, he cautiouslyasked, “I won't bring it up anymore. Will you stay the night?”“Pfft. Dream on.”"You said you'd grant me a promise if I save you, as long as it's not something outrageous,” Jasper persisted.“Last night, you-" She recalled how Jasper had kissed her in the same room yesterday.He had pinned her by the waist and showered her with a long, passionate kiss. She blushed at the thoughtas heat rose in her body."Oh, are you talking about the kiss? That doesn’t count,” Jasper said in a low voice as he grinned, pleasured by the sight of her embarrassment.“That doesn't count?” she raised her voice in shock. She finally realized how cunning Jasper could be andthat she should really stay away from him.+15 BONUS"Sure, I forced a kiss on you, but you counterattacked,” he said, pointing at the scab on his lip. “Here's theevidence.”“You deserved it! I'd tear your lips to pieces if I could, you pervert!” Her cheeks reddened in anger at thethought of his advance."Okay. Go ahead,” Jasper invited her with a straight face, even leaning backward as a welcoming gesture.She gritted her teeth. How she wished she could kick him off his bed to wipe that gleeful smile off hisface!She didn't want to argue further with Jasper, who had guilt-tripped her. Instead, she caved in and decidedto stay the night.Since she arrived at the hospital in a rush, she did not bring anything with her. She had to request Sean tobring her some pajamas and daily essentials from her Solana City villa.Sean returned to the hospital soon with a somber expression. He walked down the corridor with a tinysuitcase in his hand.“Sorry for the trouble, Sean. You should get home and rest now. Pick me up tomorrow morning,” Alyssathanked Sean and was about to take the suitcase from him, but he refused to let go of it.He implored her, “Ms. Alyssa, come home with me.”“I know Jasper has thrown out a sudden request, but it's not a big deal to me. I don't mind paying himback this way,” Alyssa explained calmly.“But you'll share a room with him! What if he’s up to no good and... and ..."“I was once married to him. If he really wanted to take advantage of me, he wouldn't have waited untiltoday.”"But-"Alyssa waved off Sean and reassured him, “Jasper might be a jerk, but he understands the law. If he everforces himself on me, I'll castrate him.” Share to your friends Chapter 537 Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.Tap the middle of the screen to reveal Reading Options.
