In the study, Landon tried to pour Jasper a drink but was rejected. "My driver's not with me today. I won't be drinking as I need to drive."

"I didn't expect you and Alyssa to come over tonight."

Landon picked up the glass that Jasper turned down and drank from it instead. Then, he placed it back down. His tall frame leaned against the side of the table relaxedly.

He retrieved a cigarette from his cigarette box and lit it naturally.

He inhaled so deeply that he almost looked avaricious. It was as if he wanted to fill his lungs with smoke.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Jasper squinted at him.

"I'm alright."

"You've previously mentioned that Lauren doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so you've cut down on smoking for her sake. I can see that your ashtray is looking like a mass grave. You've been smoking double the amount from last time, haven't you?"

Right after, Jasper started speaking like he was Landon's elder.

In an exceptionally serious tone, he questioned, "Do you want Lauren to hug a chimney to sleep every day? Are you still wanting to have children when you're acting like this? Don't you know that you'd have to quit smoking and drinking if you want to start a family?"

Landon heeded his advice. He threw his cigarette butt onto the floor and stepped on it to put it out.

"Didn't you have something to talk to me about?"

"The thing that happened to that man. Was it your doing?" Jasper was a straightforward man. He went straight to the point.
