Jasper's hand that was tidying Alyssa's hair paused. He looked at the phone screen too.

"Alyssa, do you know this number?"

"No."

"Are you going to answer it?" Jasper frowned slightly.

Alyssa had never answered any unknown calls. She rarely received them either.

"I-Is this Ms. Alyssa Taylor?" the girl asked softly.
