Jeremy was rendered speechless.
He had heard about a love rival snatching someone’s hand in marriage. But he had never heard of a brother snatching his sister’s hand in marriage.
However, Axel had never been afraid of anything. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he did something like that.
“Hey, bastard!”
Axel looked at Jeremy from beside him. “If, and I mean if, Jameson asks my sister’s hand in marriage, will you interfere?”
Jeremy felt as if an arrow had pierced through his heart. Pain consumed his body.
He couldn’t entertain the thought of Jameson and Alyssa getting married.
“Shit, forget it. Neither you nor Jameson should think about getting my sister. None of you is worth her time, Axel cursed. He thought it was a stupid question to ask.
“I only want Lyse to be happy. As long as she’s happy, I’m willing to do anything for her. Jeremy felt as if something was stuck in his throat. His voice broke as he spoke.
“Then, can you help me separate Lyse and that Schmidt guy? Seeing them as a couple is a real pain,” Axel asked through gritted teeth.
Jeremy looked at him in surprise.
“Don’t think too much, I’m not doing it for you, but for Lyse. The onlooker sees most of the game. She’s in the middle of this, so she might not see it. But things are crystal clear to me from where I’m standing.
“Behind those glasses, he’s a casanova, I’m not comfortable leaving Lyse in the hands of someone with malicious intent. I’m worried she will fall into a trap.” Axel was concerned for his sister.
Jeremy was worried for her too.
“Let’s work together to keep them apart.” Axel clasped his fingers.
“What if she wants to be with Jameson? Jeremy asked, even though the thought made his heart feel like it was being ripped out of his chest.
“Based on how well I know Lyse, she won’t for now. I know how Lyse is when she fancies someone. No. one knows it better than her brothers.”
Axel scoffed at Jeremy as he said that.
Jeremy gulped hard. His face burned with guilt and regret. He knew Alyssa was a hopeless romantic.
She once had given her passionate heart and loyal devotion to him. He was once been loved unconditionally. Yet he had been blind and foregone this true love.
“That’s why we have to strike while the iron is hot, Lyse doesn’t have any feelings for Jameson now. We need to nip it in the bud before it even starts.”
Axel narrowed his eyes and gnashed his teeth. “If we allow their relationship to develop further, I’m afraid
Lyse won’t be able to withstand his fervent advances. Then, it will be too late.
“Think about it. But you don’t have any reason to turn me away. We have the same goal¨Cif we can’t have that person, no one should either.”
He was about to leave.
“Are you helping me because we were friends in school?” Jeremy suddenly asked, looking at Axel’s back.
Axel stopped in his tracks. He perked an eyebrow. “Oh, how thoughtful of you to mention it. We went to school together, but we were never friends. Goodbye.”
Jeremy was left speechless.
On the way back, Winston allowed Alyssa and Jameson to sit in his car. Even a blind person could tell
Winston was trying to create some alone time for them.
Winston’s wives didn’t ride in separate cars on the way back. Instead, they sat in one car to ease gossip.
“What is Winston thinking? Is he trying to set Lyse and Jameson up?”
Colene could barely hold it in as the car started. “Pfft, this must be an opportunity for a lifetime for that pipsqueak. He will sleep with a wide smile on his face every night if he becomes part of our family.”
“The Schmidts aren’t as influential as the Walsh’s in Solana City. I don’t think Mr. Schmidt’s status is suitable for our son¨Cin¨Claw,” Mandy said helplessly.
*Lyse had always had her eyes on Mr. Walsh. Has she moved on? Is she ready for a new relationship?”
Lyla hit the bullseye with her question,
“The best way to forget an old flame is to start a new relationship. If Lyse doesn’t date another man, she will never forget that Walsh guy.”
Colene thought about it. Perplexed, she said, “Winston’s attitude seemed odd to me. He told us he wasn’t fond of the Schmidt family’s sons. Why did he suddenly change his attitude toward Jameson?”
Mandy frowned slightly.
Jameson seemed to have some tricks up his sleeve.
Alyssa stared out the window the whole time. She was uninterested in speaking to Jameson.
Meanwhile, Jameson sat beside her quietly. His eyes didn’t leave her for a second. He thought he was the luckiest man in the world, even if he was watching over her silently.
*Jimmy, thank you for keeping me company while I was at the hospital.”
Alyssa didn’t look at him, but her tone was gentle. “I’m sure you’re tired. Make sure you rest well when you get back. Please don’t look for me for now.”
“Lyse, d¨Cdo you not wish to see me?” Jameson frowned as his heart tightened.
“I don’t know what you told my father, but if you still want to be my friend, I hope everything stops here.”
Alyssa looked at him this time, but her eyes were as cold as ice. “Jeremy and I will never happen. Neither will you and I.”
“Lyse, I think there’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t say anything to Uncle Winston. I…”
Alyssa closed her eyes and shook her head. “Your image of me is still stuck in the past. 15 years have passed. I’m no longer your guiding light. I can’t do anything for you anymore.
“Our childhood friendship has brought us together after all this time. I cherish our friendship dearly. I hope you won’t destroy what we have.
“If you still choose not to listen to me, I’ll have to choose not to see you again.”
Alyssa had tried her best to soften the blow and reject him politely.
Yet, each word was like a cold dagger piercing Jameson’s heart, leaving a trail of blood.
He gasped hard. His fair complexion was now completely drained of color. He clenched his fists.
He loved Alyssa with all his heart. Yet she treated his heart like a target, aiming her arrows at it again and again. He was deeply hurt. He wondered why she was so cruel to him.
Colene thought about it. Perplexed, she said, “Winston’s attitude seemed odd to me. He told us he wasn’t fond of the
Schmidt family’s sons. Why did he suddenly change his attitude toward Jameson?”
