Chapter 343

Jasper hadn't really planned on giving the cake back to Carter. But then he caught Miranda's half-amused look, and his resolve crumbled. He handed the cake back to Carter and raised his hands.

"Alright, alright, here you go."

Miranda finally turned her attention away. "What are you doing here, Jasper?" Carter clutched the cake protectively, suspicious. "You two know each other?" Frowning, Jasper shot Carter a sideways glance before turning to Miranda. "I live here in Virell. Zephra's kind of lost its charm, so I figured I'd come back."

"Besides, with you here, Elian and Sebastian are bound to show up," he uttered as he swept a designed look at Carter, as if eager to watch some drama unfold.

The look in his eyes plainly said, "If those two show up, you're toast."

Carter blinked in confusion.

"Looks like you've got a lot of time on your hands," Miranda said coolly.

Jasper pointed across the street. "I saw you guys from over there. There's a club right across the road. I was just hanging out."
