Chapter 121
Landon was frightened by the callous look in Jasper’s eyes.
Jasper had never been more incensed–not even when Linna left him and traveled abroad.
Landon was merely joking, which was characteristic of him–wealthy but indiscreet, even
more so
in front of his good friends.
He never thought that he’d cross a line by making a joke. It confirmed that the topic of
Jasper’s ex-
wife was taboo.
The bartender paled at the sight. Not many in Solana City had the guts to grab Landon
Harper by
his collar.
“Jasper, have you … fallen for Alice?” Landon had sobered up, and he was drenched in
cold sweat.
“Haven’t you noticed that you’ve been acting funny since the divorce?” Landon cast a
deep look at
him. “I’m your only friend from childhood. Aren’t you going to tell me the truth?”
“I don’t love her,” Jasper growled.
“Fine, got it. I’ll take your word for it.

Landon ignored Jasper’s wrath and added, “Jasper, I’ll repeat myself. If you have fallen for
Alice
and wish to get back with her, you have my full support.”
He continued, “If you are only acting out because you couldn’t stand seeing your ex–wife
with
another man, I hope you’ll allow me to take my shot. That’s because I know what my heart
wants-
I love Alice and want to pursue her.”
Feeling as though he was shot in the chest, Jasper let go of Landon’s collar and stumbled
backward. Landon stood up straight and breathed deeply to calm himself down as he
pulled the
blue diamond necklace from his pocket.
“She…” Jasper was stunned.
“She refused my gift.” Smiling bitterly, Landon explained, “Alice isn’t what you think she
is. She’s
not a materialistic woman. She returned the necklace to me after we left.”
He lamented, “Gosh, Mr. Jasper, how have you been treating Alice in the past? She saw
you as her
archenemy and grabbed at any opportunity to irk you. It’s not an overstatement to
describe
her mortal enemy.”

Jasper pursed his lips. Thinking back on those three years, he had turned a blind eye to
her feelings countless times. The memories of the badly damaged handmade suit and the
wardrobe.

After work, Alysaa left the hotel but didn’t head home. She managed to shake off Sean
and went to
a church on the west side of Solana City alone
The golden dome of the church glimmered under the lights, looking opulent and grand
Under a huge cross, Jonah, the pastor, dressed in a black robe and held a Bible in his
hands. He lowered his head and focused on his sermon.

wash away
the impurities of a soul.
After the sermon, the members of the church left Jonah closed the Bible and approached
his little sister with a gentle smile on his good–looking face.
“Why didn’t you tell me you’re here?” He tousled her hair.
“Un, I didn’t want to interrupt you in case you were busy” Smiling ear to ear, she replied
sweetly
“Do you have something on your mind?” He took a seat beside her and questioned.

She let out a long sigh with a downcast expression “Jonah, I did something wrong today I
used
Landon Harper to get back at Jasper. I knew it was not the right thing to do, but I couldn’t
hold
back. When I saw Jasper with Liana and how he fought Landon for a necklace, I felt upset.”
She confessed, “I wanted to hurt him, even though it was meaningless because we were
divorced
I wanted him to have something to remember me by, even if it was from a place of spite.”
Jonah sighed wistfully and hugged her trembling shoulders “Lyse, you still have feelings
for him,
don’t you?”
“I admit that I haven’t gotten over him. After all, I’ve loved him for a very long time. I
devoted my youth to him. He was part of all my unforgettable memories.
Resting her head on Jonah’s broad shoulder, she got misty–eyed “Jonah, I’m so afraid that
I’d lose the ability to love another after how he’d hurt me I might never love a man the
way I loved him
“To live is to love. Lyse, as long as you’re still breathing, you will never lose the ability to
love.”
He lowered his gaze and patted her reassuringly “Do not fret. Your brothers will be here to
protect you no matter what happens. You just be your true self and pursue the love of your
