Unable to stifle his rage any longer, Jeremy hissed, “Do you have any idea what you’re asking, Jameson
“I do. However, I’m afraid some people have no idea what they’re doing.” Jameson stood in front of Alyssa. “Can’t you see how much she hates you? You’re no longer married. I can call the cops on you right now for harassment, Mr. Walsh.”
“That’s enough,” Alyssa quipped, not wanting things to escalate. She said flatly to Jeremy, “Hurry up and leave.”
“Lysel
“I said, leave!” Alyssa yelled, finally showing her anger. “I don’t want to see you, Jeremy!”
Jeremy flinched. His mouth suddenly filled with blood. He held back from spitting it out, however.
Beside them, Jameson’s lips curled into a sneer.
There was rarely anything that could satiate Jameson. But one thing that could do the trick was crushing and torturing Jeremy Walsh.
Alyssa regained her composure and questioned, “Jameson, why are you here?”
“I’ve moved into a villa behind yours,” he revealed with an affectionate gaze.
She was utterly astonished and gasped, “What?”
Equally shocked, Jeremy’s chest tightened as he sensed an impending threat.
“I said we’re neighbors now, Lyse,” teased Jameson, tilting his head and flashing a gentlemanly and youthful smile at her.
Then, he extended his hand to her, saying, “Hello, new neighbor. Let’s get along well in the future.”
Although she was taken aback, Alyssa regathered her composure and politely shook his hand, effectively keeping her ex-husband, Jeremy, out of the conversation.
“Lyse, would you like to visit my new place? Jameson invited her. Just like her, he was an opportunist.
He added, “I bought a lot of fresh seafood, including salmon and lobsters-your favorites. I’ll cook for you.
Each word Jameson said was filled with love for Alyssa. His thoughtfulness and courtesy made him the ideal boyfriend for any woman.
Feeling troubled and thinking it wasn’t the best time to join a housewarming event, she declined. “Let’s do that another day. We’ll run into each other a lot now that we’re living in the same neighborhood. Thanks for the offer, though.”
“My mom will be there tonight,” Jameson stated, his gaze unwavering.
He earnestly extended the invitation once more. “I promised her I’d invite you for dinner. She’s delighted since she hasn’t seen you in years. She’s eager to meet Mr. Taylor’s precious daughter.”
Alyssa looked surprised and exclaimed, “Is Mrs. Schmidt back from Kontina?”
“Yes, I brought her back,” Jameson replied with a contented smile.
“That’s wonderful.”
Jeremy stood by anxiously throughout the exchange, watching them. He couldn’t find an opportunity to
As an experienced businessman, he was always capable and never helpless. However, he often felt like a fool when he was with Alyssa.
“Lyse, you know my mom’s condition. She’s rarely conscious, Jameson mumbled with a sorrowful look in his eyes that evoked sympathy.
“I hope you’ll meet with her while she’s still awake. Otherwise, it would be pointless. I understand it’s a big ask, but could you do this for me?”
Given the long-standing friendship between the Schmidts and the Taylors and the fact that Alyssa had no plans for that evening, she had no reason to decline the invitation.
She replied, “Well, I’ll have to trouble you, Jameson.”
Jeremy’s anger flared, and his blood pressure rose as he clenched his fists.
“It’s no trouble at all, and I appreciate you accepting the invitation, Lyse,” Jameson said with joy in his eyes. He gestured for Alyssa to go ahead of him, and they left Jeremy standing there.
However, Jeremy was no pushover, especially when his rival was Jameson Schmidt. He hated seeing Alyssa leave with another man. But what could he do?
A voice in his head urged him on, “Go, stop them! Ego is nothing in the face of love! Keep her by your side!”
“Lyse!” Jeremy’s heart raced as he approached them with determined strides.
But before he could get close to Alyssa, he saw Jameson throwing a punch in his direction, as if the latter had eyes on the back of his head.
A sudden gust of wind brushed past Jeremy’s nose. Jameson’s punch was brutal and swift. Jeremy would have been punched in the face if he hadn’t been trained enough to dodge the ambush.
From that deceptive move, Jeremy could tell that Jameson was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. There was another reason he could never let Alyssa be with Jameson. Never!
The attack unfolded in the bink of an eye, so swiftly that not even Alyssa noticed the altercation as she proceeded toward Jameson’s villa,
Once again, Jameson hurled punches at Jeremy, but the latter skillfully evaded each one. Jameson launched another kick that narrowly missed Jeremy’s chest.
Jameson staggered backward, fighting to regain his balance, the veins in his seemingly feeble arms throbbing beneath his elegant silver cufflinks.
Meanwhile, Jeremy stood at the same spot despite suffering the attacks. Jameson adjusted his glasses, his eyes smoldering with rage.
For years, Jameson had obsessively honed his skills under the guidance of a mentor, delving into the realms of close combat, marksmanship, swordplay, and more. His motivation was to acquire the strength necessary to protect his mother and establish his own power base.
While he was a quick learner, he had invested a huge effort in honing his skills to make up for his physical weakness
Initially, he had been confident in his abilities, but the brief exchange just now had revealed that he had underestimated Jeremy. Jeremy proved to be a formidable rival, one whom he couldn’t hope to match, even with his best efforts.
Jameson’s expression morphed from a frown into a sinister smirk that unsettled Jeremy. The affection in his eyes for Alyssa had transformed into a menacing look that challenged Jeremy’s patience.
Suddenly, a gleam flashed across Jameson’s eyes as he leaned forward. Jeremy’s gaze faltered, and, out of muscle memory, he inadvertently punched Jameson on the left cheek.
At the same time, Alyssa turned around and witnessed the scene. Jeremy noticed that Jameson wore a conniving grin on his lips, showing no sign of anger after the unexpected punch,
Damn it! Jeremy realized he had fallen right into Jameson’s trap. It dawned on him that Jameson hadn’t intended to attack him. Instead, he had simply lured Jeremy into making a move.
Jeremy secretly chided himself for his foolishness.
*Jimmy!” Alyssa gasped in wide-eyed shock and hurried over to support Jameson, who looked like he was on the verge of collapsing. In the heat of the moment, she blurted out Jameson’s childhood nickname.
Hearing this, Jameson ignored the pain in his cheek and held her wrist, asking in disbelief, “Lyse, what did you just call me?”
She finally realized her mistake. After a brief moment, she decided not to make a big deal out of it. It was just a nickname from when they were younger.
She repeated, “Jimmy.”
Jameson teared up with joy, his cheeks twitching in excitement. He had waited for this moment for 15
years.
He had pined for Alyssa throughout those years, a feeling Jeremy Walsh-heartless as he was-would never understand.
At that moment, Jeremy’s face drained of color. He appeared lifeless, feeling like something had broken inside him.
Once again, Alyssa had crushed his heart.
Had Jameson and Alyssa’s relationship progressed? Had their childhood friendship never changed?
Jeremy couldn’t help but wonder what he had meant to Alyssa from the start.
“Jeremy, are you out of your mind? Jameson is inviting me to his place to greet his mom. What did he do wrong? Why did you have to hurt him? Alyssa confronted Jeremy with a glare while holding onto
Jameson.
Her eyes revealed a mix of emotions. There was rage, helplessness, and, more than anything.
disappointment
She had placed Jeremy on a pedestal for the past 13 years. However, she felt as if he had slowly become less attractive to her. He was straying further from her impression of him.
“Lyse, I’m okay. Calm down.” Jameson comforted her with a gentle look in his eyes why Mr. Walsh attacked me.”
“I can understand
“Everything he did, he did it for you.”
