However, Jasper was still wearing a frown.
He called Landon as soon as he left Seaview Manor, but there was no answer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis situation was rare in their nearly 20 years of friendship, so it made him feel uneasy.
That evening, Alyssa brought out the teddy bear cake that Cyrus had sent to share with Lauren.
In the warmly lit room, Alyssa brought the cake to Lauren. Her eyes were filled with affection as she said, "Lauren, try this cake. It arrived in the morning, and I've been craving it but couldn't bear to eat it. I've been waiting to share it with you." Lauren's slender body leaned against the head of the bed. Her fair and tender face appeared pale and gaunt. It was a heartbreaking sight.
"Alyssa, eat if you want to. You don't have to wait for me." Alyssa blinked. "No way. This was bought for you." "Who bought it for me?" Alyssa hesitated slightly.
Sensing that hesitation, Lauren gently asked, "Was it... Cyrus?" "Yes, Cyrus bought it for you." Now that it had been revealed, she had no need to conceal it anymore. Otherwise, it would seem pretentious.
"Has Cyrus visited?" Lauren was pure-hearted. At the thought of Cyrus, her moist eyes brightened a little. "He call this way. Why didn't you let him cin and sit for a while?" "He's a busy man. He still has to go back to the police station to handle cases." "Then... Alyssa, could you call Cyrus later and thank him for me?" Lauren's beautiful eyes showed sincerity.
Alyssa smiled and nodded. Suddenly, a hint of bitterness welled up in her chest.

"It's really nice. Alyssa, you should try stoo." "Okay." Alyssa couldn't help but choke up. She had squeezed the teddy bear cake so hard that its expression looked miserable.
Lauren had learned to take care of others' emotions and not let her loved ones worry. During the day when Newton was around, she always ate heartily just to avoid worrying Newton.
But the more Lauren did this, the more Alyssa felt uneasy and distressed.
Lauren had grown up. She no longer had a carefree and innocent life.
At that moment, Alyssa noticed Lauren's hair was let down. She asked in surprise, "Lauren, where's your favorite clear quartz hair clip? | don't see it." Lauren's hand, holding the cake, suddenly stiffened. Her long lashes fluttered as she answered, "I... gave it to Angie. | asked her to return it to Landon." Alyssa's heart clenched, and she quickly grabbed Lauren's cold hand. "Lauren! You've returned the hair clip to Landon? Are you... okay with that? Do you know what that means?" "I know." Lauren's voice was almost inaudible, and her bright eyes seemed like shattered crystals. "It means... I'm breaking up with Landon."
