Alyssa looked a little surprised. But she quickly lowered her head. Even though she did her best to suppress her emotions, Jasper could still see a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

It made his heart pound wildly. His cheeks flared in embarrassment as well.

At that moment, Jasper’s phone started vibrating in his pocket. He fished it out to look at the caller ID. Then, he left the study immediately.

Jasper leaned against the wall in the corridor as he stared at the word “Lia” on his phone screen. Finally, he picked up the call silently.

“Jasper, are you still mad at me?” Liana’s cries drifted from the other end of the line before Jasper could say anything.

“No,” he replied emotionlessly.

But Liana clearly felt that Jasper was still angry at her.

“C–Can you come over to my place right now? I miss you so much, Jasper! I can’t even sleep because of how much I miss you…”

Liana confessed to Jasper in a soft and sweet tone.

“Not tonight. I need to keep Grandpa company.”

“You’re at Grandpa’s place right now? I’ll head over there, then. Didn’t you tell me that I need to pop over to Grandpa’s villa and show that I care about him? That way, he’ll accept me as a part of the family.”

Liana continued, “It just so happened that I baked a fresh batch of chestnut tarts earlier.

Remember when we used to eat them sneakily before dinner? I’ll bring some for Grandpa as well. I want him to taste my cooking, after all.”

Her tone was very gentle and kind.

“Lia, I can’t meet you tonight.”
