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.”

“I owe everything to you, Grandpa, and to Justin, too.” Jasper smiled lightly, forcing his
tears back. “I never 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 are both my grandsons. I love you two just as equally! Even if your brother fully
heals one day, or even if what 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 but could thankfully hear Newton’s, given how loud he was.
“Jasper’s brother? What happened to him? Sounds like something serious…” Alyssa
murmured to herself.
Alyssa hadn’t once met the Beckett family’s eldest grandson in her three years of
marriage to Jasper. However, she’d heard from Rosie that Justin Beckett lived overseas in
Mosgravia due to his condition. Because of said condition, the family had to pass on
Justin’s inheritance rights as first-born grandson to
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?”

“No, Grandpa. it was nothing. Why don’t you get some rest now?’ Jasper pressed a hand
on Alyssa’s back, swiftly shutting the study door. He gazed at Alyssa, eyes bright and
hopeful. “Were you eavesdropping?”
“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.
