Chapter 219
Jasper was standing alone by a black Ferrari with a straight back and a gentlemanly demeanor
right outside Heightsnew Villa.
He narrowed his eyes at the intricate family crest on the metal gate during the wait
He had been looking into the Taylor family for days. From his research, he learned that the
Heightsnew Villa was the property Winston Taylor bought for his first wife, Alyssa’s mother.
The luxurious villa was one of its kind in the nation and worth more than the monetary value.
It turned out that Alyssa’s mother had named the villa. On a side note, he found out that Alyssa
had chosen the name Alice White during their marriage, partly inspired by her mom’s last name,
Whitaker.
Still, he hadn’t figured out the reason she had chosen “Alice” for her first name, if there was any.
She did not look like an Alice.
When he was deep in thought, the gate creaked open. He quickly gathered his attention and
tensed up a little. He found Alyssa standing on the stairs and staring down at him with a hand
shielding her face from the sun.
Alyssa was a little surprised that Jasper showed up in a different outfit than his usual three–piece
suit. Instead, he donned a pair of beige pants and a light blue jacket, looking clean, fresh, and regal.
This was her first time seeing him in that attire. He usually dressed like a nobleman out of a Jane
Austen novel, looking.disciplined and serious.
She might have been overthinking, but she had a feeling that he had deliberately dressed in a
casual fit. She thought he might look hot on the outside, but he was still rotten on the inside.
She approached him in her home slippers because she had rushed out in haste. Her steps were
light and airy, looking oddly adorable and affable.
He stared keenly at her feet and felt a rush of warmth in him.
“Why are you staring at my feet? Is this your first time seeing home slippers?” She uneasily
shifted her feet in her slippers and made a sour face.
He squinted. “You were always in heels. I have never seen you in slippers until now.”
Yeah, I can tell from your eyes that something’s wrong.” She sneered. “I wore slippers around you
you, but you didn’t have to take a jab at me now that we’re divorced.”
