On their way to their destination, Alyssa stared out the window. She didn’t glance at Jasper.
Obviously, she was being hostile to him.
Jasper kept glancing at Alyssa from time to time. There were times when he wanted to ask her a
question, but he found it difficult to speak up.
Newton’s villa was located in Crescent Bay in Solana City. Stretches of mountains surrounded the area, making it tranquil and scenic. The neighborhood was like a paradise hidden from the rest of
the city.
“Grandpa, I’m here to visit you!”
Alyssa smiled brightly the moment she stepped into the villa. Her clear voice was akin to a nightingale’s sweet call.
Truthfully speaking, she was a little worried because of what happened to the bracelet. She had to spend a long time mustering her courage. Then, she finally walked through the front door.
“You’re here, Alice! I missed you so much!” Newton exclaimed from his wheelchair. Ben was wheeling him out.
The old man perked up instantly when he finally saw his granddaughter–in–law. The delight on
his face was undeniable.
“Where did you go, Alice? Are you planning to abandon me? Do you not love me anymore?”
Newton clutched Alyssa’s hand tightly while flooding her with questions.
Jasper just scowled in displeasure.
He wondered if his grandfather was a flirt at heart. Newton was almost 80, yet he was still hitting
on Alice.
“Grandpa, I’ve been busy with work lately. I was out on a business trip. That was why I didn’t call you on the phone. It’s my fault for neglecting you. You can scold me if you want.”
Alyssa crouched down in front of Newton. She smiled sweetly at him.
“Oh, I don’t have the heart to scold you, my dear Alice! I’m so happy that I get to see you again!”
Newton turned to glare at Jasper. He added, “If it weren’t for a certain ingrate who’s a bad judge of character, you could’ve visited me every day. I wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble just to
see you again.”
Alyssa’s smile froze on her face. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Jasper’s expression darkened immediately. He knew that he shouldn’t have gone to Newton’s villa
in the first place. Getting insulted by his grandfather was a tradition at this point.
“Alice, I received a new painting recently. I didn’t want to show it to anyone else because I wanted
you to be the first one to see it.” Newton took Alyssa’s hand and led her to his study.
“You want me to appraise the painting for you, right, Grandpa?” Alyssa remarked with a small
smile. She had light dimples decorating her cheeks whenever she smiled.
“Heh! You saw through my plan!”
He was Alyssa’s husband for three years. Yet he had no idea she was such a sassy woman skilled at racing, painting, and sewing. Now, he found out that she was also good at appraising paintings.
He never thought that she looked like an elderly scholar despite her youthful and beautiful looks. It was an interesting contrast.
