Chapter 221
Alyssa’s lashes fluttered. Jasper’s knowledge gave her the goosebumps.
“How did you know I am a size 5.5?”
He remained stoic. “Your feet look tiny. It was a blind guess.”
She curled her feet in the slippers awkwardly but did not forget to take a dig at him. “All men are
the same. They’re either leering or openly touching the opposite S**.”
opposite S**.”
He went silent. Deep down, he knew he wasn’t being upfront. He learned about her shoe size only
because he had carefully scrutinized every single item she left behind at Seaview Manor
He also learned that she had a stockpile of snacks at home, like a squirrel collecting nuts. Most of
them are chocolates. Her favorite perfume was La fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens, which he
remembered well.
At first, he thought the spicy scent did not suit her. Looking back, he was wrong. The arrogant and
intense scent was created just for her.
He learned about her shoe size. Her collection of white shoes was laid out cleanly on the shoe
rack, as though she would return at any time.
She once accused him of not understanding her in disappointment. Therefore, he’d like to get to
know her again in this manner.
They were silent during the two–hour trip. The Ferrari entered the grounds of Seaview Manor and

Jasper unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to help Alyssa with hers.
She saw that coming from a mile away and blocked him with her arm. Her eyes screamed

She glowered at him, shocked at his speed. How could she have missed it?
Axel once told her that the average time assembling a gun was ten seconds in military school, but

Jasper overheard the gossiping and turned to Alyssa with slight annoyance in his eyes. She must
have heard the words as well, but she seemed unconcerned to the point that it bothered him.
“Where’s my stuff?”
“In your room where you put them”
“Why didn’t you leave them out here if I’m coming to pick them up? That’s pure laziness,” she
Jasper’s ringing phone interrupted the conversation at a bad time. He realized that he had an important call scheduled and informed her apologetically, “I need to take a call. I’ll be back soon.”
“Right. She’s easily jealous, unlike our easygoing Ms. White.”
