Chapter 1068
Winston’s tone of voice sounded increasingly firm. “Not only are you and Jasper together, but he’s also staying at your house in Solana City?” he questioned.
Jasper’s ears perked up at the vague sound of his name being mentioned.
.
Instantly, Alyssa’s eyes became dark. “What do you mean, Dad? Did you send someone to follow me?”
“Is there any issue with me being concerned for my daughter?” Winston answered her with a question. He wasn’t going to humor her any longer.
Alyssa chuckled. “I was alone overseas for five, six years. You’ve
never sent anyone to follow me. During the Christmas holidays, you’ve never sent me any Christmas cards or well wishes. Why are you suddenly being concerned now?”
A fire of rage rose within Alyssa. She put her hand on her waist and continued, “Are you possessed, or do you just have too much free. time on your hands because you’re about to retire?”
Jasper furrowed his brows and remained expressionless.
Alone overseas? And it was for five to six years at that? Why so?
The Taylor family members doted on her so much, so how could they
not be worried?
She was still very young, five or six years ago. How dangerous must it have been for her to live in a foreign land all on her own!
“You’d better come home this instant! You’re my precious daughter, but you’re cohabiting with an idiot who is also your ex-husband? I feel

Winston exclaimed, seemingly angry.
Alyssa harrumphed and replied nonchalantly, “You’re not even
ashamed to marry four wives. What is there for me to be ashamed
about?”
“You… you… you!” Winston almost lost his temper.
Damn, they were truly father and daughter. Her words struck him to
the core!
After listening to their back-and-forth, Jasper gradually understood the conversation. Winston had found out that he was together with Alyssa, and he was furious about it.
His heart tightened. He thought about how he had to go through so many challenges to finally receive approval from her siblings. And now, there was another hurdle in front of him-Winston.
However, he didn’t have a single word of complaint. He was the one. who had been cruel in the past. Any difficulty or hurdle he faced was,
all his own karma.
“I don’t care. I want you to come back as soon as possible! The horse racing event is on the weekend. It concerns KS Group’s important strategic partnership in the future. A few major groups in Solana City are also going to be there.
“I need you to come back and make the necessary preparations. You are attending it with me!”
A few major groups?
That meant that the Becketts and Schmidts were included. It would
be bustling then.
Alyssa’s gaze was deep. She answered in a low voice, “I understand.”

“And, let me remind you once again-don’t get too close to Jasper! My daughter is as precious as jewels, and he’s definitely not at your level!”
Although Winston was speaking on the phone, his dissatisfaction. toward Jasper was written all over his face.
“Also, don’t you forget how he had treated you in the first place. He abandoned you and shamed you! Even if you have forgotten the pain, he is never going to get past me! Not unless it is over my dead b*dy!
Goodbye!”
Without waiting for Alyssa to answer, Winston hung up the call.
Alyssa was speechless. What goodbye was he even talking about?
She stared at her phone’s screen, which had dimmed. She sighed silently and glanced at Jasper, who was stiff as a stone beside her.
“You overheard our conversation?”
“Yeah,” Jasper answered with a dejected look on his face.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Winston is getting old, more stubborn than I am. Plus, you don’t have a good track re makes sense that he doesn’t like you.” Alyssa pouted.
“I get it.”
“But that’s alright. Whatever hurdles come our way, we’ll get over them. Things have already progressed to this stage. There’s nothing. that we cannot overcome.”
Out of the blue, Alyssa blinked and asked, “If Winston doesn’t approve of us being together at the end of the day, and if the entire world doesn’t approve of us, will you give me up?”
Jasper fixed his eyes on her. Looking deep into her eyes, he asked her back, “Will you give me up?”
Alyssa put her finger on her chin and pretended to give it a good thought. After a while, she shook her head.
“No, I won’t.”

Jasper’s breathing was deep and heavy. He opened his arms and pulled her in for an embrace.
He put his chin on the top of her head as tears pooled in his eyes. Ant intense twinge of bittersweet emotions filled his heart.
“If you won’t leave me, neither will I leave you.”
He was determined to be with her-forever.
