Chapter 540
When Alyssa opened the lid of the food containers, her eyes widened at the array of
Belbanks delicacies.
The plating was immaculate, and the food was both aromatic and delicious. To her
surprise, those were
all her favorite dishes at home. Her stomach rumbled.
“I heard that Jasper Beckett sent his people to buy the food from Belbanks at 5:00 am. The
containers are
insulated, so the food is still hot,” Sean explained robotically as he laid out the breakfast.
He was well aware that Jasper had made a move to pursue Alyssa. Sean had been in love
with Alyssa
and did not want to interfere in her love life, but he didn’t want her to date Jasper.
“Is he crazy? Nobody wanted him to do that!” Despite her complaints, she couldn’t help
but shove a hashbrown into her mouth and chew away happily.

Suddenly, they heard a raspy voice that almost sent Alyssa choking on her food.
“Ms. Alyssa, is the food delicious?”
She coughed violently and pressed a hand against her chest.
“Ms. Alyssa, are you okay?” Sean panicked and quickly patted her on the back.
Jasper was enraged by Sean touching Alyssa on the back. He knew there was nothing
between Alyssa
and Sean, but he was green with envy nonetheless.
Frowning, he was about to approach Alyssa when she marched up to him. She confronted
him furiously,
What happened last night? How did I end up in that bed?”
“I moved you to the bed. It is uncomfortable sleeping on the couch,” he answered. Due to
their proximity,
she sensed his hot breath tickling her forehead. It felt rather intimate.
“Nobody asked you to do so! You’re just a busybody.” She glared into his eyes, that was
filled with a
doting look. Then, she clenched her fists.
“I’ll always be a busybody when it concerns you,” he said sincerely. There was no hint of
flirting in his tone.
Paired with his enchanting eyes, he could make any woman fall for him.
“Look, you will not touch me no matter what you do for me. Save the trouble,” she
retorted.
Suddenly, she caught some details on his outfit from a casual glance.

“That’s why I do not want to be kept a prisoner in the hospital. And I want to see you,” he
said to her. He
had a rebellious yet affectionate look in his eyes.

comeback.

eyes.
