Alyssa was simply teasing Jasper by playing coy.

After all, she trusted him completely.

However, her playful joke backfired.

Jasper panicked, dropping to one knee with a serious expression.

"Lyse," he declared solemnly, "I, Jasper Beckett, swear my loyalty to you.

She tried to cover his mouth, but he grabbed her hand tightly.

"It's true that I went out last night.

I went to The Millennium with Axel and Cyrus." Alyssa's eyes widened in alarm.

Her voice trembled as she cupped his cheek.

"Oh my word, why didn't you tell me? Did something bad happen?" "Don't worry, everything's fine," Jasper reassured her, taking her hand and stroking it gently.

Novak.

She cupped his face and kissed his forehead.
