Axel's eyes were dark with exhaustion. He gritted his teeth in frustration. "Your snoring sounds likethunder during a storm. Are you trying to blast me to death?"

Silas followed closely behind, holding a pillow and yawning. Despite being tired and barely speakingin coherence, he retorted, "Do you think you're innocent? If I'm thunder, you're the hammer usedfor construction. And you grind your teeth, too!

"Whoever marries you will surely suffer from premature aging.”

"Silas! Axel!" Alyssa was moved to tears, feeling guilty for her thoughtless words earlier. How couldshe say such things about her brothers?

The Taylor family's children had always been reliable. They were always there when needed.

"Lyse!" Silas and Axel suddenly had no trace of sleepiness as they rushed over to Alyssa.

"Silas came over right away, and Axel rushed back from overseas as quickly as possible. Liam is onhis way.” Jonah's voice was gentle.

He walked over and lightly patted Alyssa's shoulder, giving her a sense of security. "Lyse, don'tworry. We're all here."

"Cyrus is on a mission out of town to apprehend an important criminal. He won't be back until theday after tomorrow.”

Mandy continued with a hint of guilt, "I didn't dare to let him know about Winston's condition... Iwas afraid that he'd—"

"It's okay, Mandy. I get it," Alyssa quickly reassured her.

"Cyrus needs to concentrate fully during his missions. Any distraction could be life-threatening. Let'snot tell him for now. His safe return is more important than anything else.”

Jasper stood quietly to the side, not seeking any attention. He felt content to watch Alyssasurrounded by her loved ones, so he willingly became the man behind her back. As long as she washappy, he was happy.

"Mr. Jonah, Ms. Alyssa!”

Just then, Sean rushed in from outside. His expression was a mix of anger and frustration. "We'vegot a problem. Jameson is here."

Alyssa's and Jasper's expressions both changed instantly, looking alike.

"Hah! Does he have a death wish? I haven't slept well for three days, so I'm full of pent-up anger.”Axel squinted, tilting his neck to the side.

Silas also spat out. "At this point, he still has the nerve to come over and pretend like nothing'swrong? Is he mentally ill or something?"

Alyssa's voice turned cold as she said, "Tell him to leave.”

"But he said he has something important to give to you personally, something you'll definitelyneed,” Sean reported as he dared not get in the way of Alyssa's business.

"He's playing these tricks again. Does he think I'll still trust him and fall for it again?" Alyssa's eyesturned red with hatred, and her fists clenched tightly.

Jasper pursed his lips and spoke seriously, "Lyse, your brothers and I are all by your side. He won'tbe able to cause any trouble. Why not meet him and see what he's up to this time?"

Alyssa was somewhat surprised by Jasper's unexpected open-mindedness. She knew that hewouldn't have said something like this in the past.

Hearing that, Axel raised an eyebrow teasingly. "Oh, so you're being open-minded now? Jamiper isyour number one rival, Jasper. Won't you be jealous when you see them together?"

Jasper smiled casually. "I'm not thinking that far ahead. I'm only afraid of missing out on somethingthat Lyse really needs.”

The Taylor brothers couldn't help but admire Jasper's attitude. This brother-in-law of theirs hadquite the character.

Frowning, Alyssa thought for a moment before ultimately agreeing with Jasper's suggestion.

"Let Jamiper come in."
