Chapter 118
What a bastard!
“Jasper, my chest hurts…” Liana hurriedly went up to him and rested her head against his shoulder as she grumbled. “Since you’re here, why don’t we go shopping? You’ve never shopped with me. Look at Mr. Harper going shopping with Ms. White…”
Jasper followed Alyssa’s figure with his eyes.
“Fine.”
Alyssa shuffled away, looking upset. Her ex–husband’s sudden appearance was a buzzkill that ruined her good mood.
“Hey,” she suddenly called out. Landon answered with a twinkle in his eye, “I’m here.”
“I’m in a bad mood. Why don’t you share a few more jokes?”
Landon was speechless at her request. “Well, I can certainly do that. If you’re looking to cheer up, I can gather a few people and have fun at ACE tonight.”
“It’s fine. I don’t drink with guys I don’t know.” She shot him a cold look. “By the way, aren’t you worried that Jasper might unfriend you if we keep hanging out?”
“F***. You guys are divorced. Even if it’s not official yet, it’s almost certain. I didn’t steal his girl or loot a burning house. What is he angry for? An oversensitive jackass.” Landon snorted.
At the same time, Alyssa was attracted by a shimmery blue diamond necklace in a store display window. Before she knew it, she had wandered into the store. Landon followed along.
“Can I have a look at this necklace?”
“Madam, you have great taste indeed! This necklace is a limited–edition item from our brand designer’s summer line–‘Starry Ocean‘! There are only five of its type in the nation.”
The store employee enthusiastically introduced the background of the product while removing it from the display.
As an expert in jewelry, Alyssa could tell that the shade of the blue diamond was rather ordinary. It was neither vivid blue nor deep blue. Still, she admired its skillful cut and design concept. The designer must be a soulful talent. Thanks to the brand effect, the necklace had a seven–figure price tag
“Do you like it?” Landon bent his left knee and stretched his right leg while sitting on a stool He rested his chin on his hand and smiled at her flirtatiously.

“Mhm,” she muttered softly while admiring the necklace.
