Jeremy and Alyssa had advanced to all bases in their relationship by now, but he could tell she hadn’t entirely accepted him.
Without his direct initiative, they would still be unable to engage with each other closely, as typical couples do.
While she might have shared her embrace, her kisses, and her body with him, she had only exposed a fraction of her true feelings.
Jeremy tightened his fists and rallied his spirits. Once again, resolute expression crossed his face.
All was fine. One step at a time. Everything was moving in a positive direction, wasn’t it?
“Wow! Quick, come and see! That is one eye-catching couple! The woman is beautiful, and the man is attractive! Are they models, or are they celebrities?”
Suddenly, some passersby looked toward them and excitedly began to discuss amongst themselves.
“They’ve covered up so well. How can you tell that they are attractive?”
“Observe their attire and the confidence they exude. That’s a well- proportioned figure. I’m certain they possess good looks as well!”
“You can never be sure. You wouldn’t know if she has the body of an angel but the face of a witch. Or, what if he has a good body but a face like the back end of the bus?”
Jeremy and Alyssa, who both had sharp hearing, heard every word.
Alyssa gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger. She yearned to approach those individuals, remove her face mask and hat, and reveal
If only she could teach them a lesson!
A glint flashed across Jeremy’s eyes. “What does the back end of the bus mean, Lyse?” he asked out of curiosity.
“Does the back end of a bus look nice to you?” Alyssa questioned him back angrily with her hands on her hips.
“No, it doesn’t.”
“So, when they say that you look like the back end of the bus, it means you are ugly!” she explained.
“Oh, I see. You’re such a clever woman, Lyse.” Jeremy nodded. He was impressed that he could learn new things every day when he was with her.
She never ran out of thoughts and ideas in that mind of hers. Sometimes, he wanted to get into her head to see what amazing things happened there.
Then, the two bystanders started to chatter again.
“What a shame that the handsome man is already attached. She is putting his looks down the drain,” one of them exclaimed.
Alyssa couldn’t help but wonder if they understood the meaning of the idiom they were using. Fueled by anger, she curled her fingers even tighter.
How was her being with Jeremy wasting his looks? She was obviously the better-looking one. He was the one who didn’t match up to her looks!
“Why do you think that they are a couple? Look at them. They’ve been keeping a social distance since the beginning. There hasn’t been any intimate contact between them at all. I don’t see any chemistry! If you alike?”
they it provvy anys. you TIN ALL
Upon hearing their remarks, Jeremy tightly furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes. His blood began to boil.
What did they even know? There was something called couple resemblance!
“Okay, hurry up. Mrs. Rosie is still waiting for us to get the groceries,” Alyssa urged him.
Right when she was about to walk forward, she felt a tight grip on her wrist.
Following that, her tiny frame was pulled by a strong and overbearing force. In the next moment, she found herself buried in his chest, which was rising and falling like the waves.
Before she could even react, his heated hand moved down and pulled her waist tightly toward his. He caressed her naughtily.
She looked toward him, startled. Before she knew it, his lips were pressed onto hers. He kissed her like there was nobody around them.
“Wow!” A loud gasp echoed from the people surrounding them.
They were like a painting!
Even though they had their face masks on, they shared an undeniably romantic kiss! The people looked at them in awe. They were a good match!
Through the thin fabric, Alyssa could still discern the contours of his lips. His warm body temperature and the depth of his affection… 2
She instinctively unclenched her fists from his shoulders, slowly shifting her hands to cling to him instead.
Gradually, she relaxed her back, which had become tense from
The crowd dispersed. After all, they felt a little awkward watching a couple being lovey-dovey with one another.
Jeremy and Alyssa pulled away from each other slowly. He couldn’t take his eyes off her and continued looking at her amorously.
“That… That was overboard.”
She already had her face mask on. Adding such a long kiss on top of that made her gasp hard for air.
She looked at him resentfully and added, “Who said you could kiss me?”
“I just felt like it. I didn’t think that much,” Jeremy remarked. A small, satisfied smile played on his lips as he reached out to gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
“What happens if someone were to recognize us?”
“They won’t. If they were to recognize us, they would have recognized us the moment we stepped in.”
He wasn’t a saint. By nature, he had a possessive side to him.
Furthermore, she was the woman whom he loved to the moon and back.
How could he not have reacted to what others were commenting about them? He wanted to show them who was the boss!
Alyssa was a brilliant woman. She certainly knew what his intentions. were.
Hence, she was suddenly inspired to be playful. She wanted to poke fun at him, so she pouted and asked, “What if people were to
What do we do then?”
Jeremy’s eyes became dark, and he stared straight at her for quite a while. He then leaned in and whispered in her ear. Intentionally or otherwise, his lips brushed against the side of her ear in the process.
“I didn’t kiss you to show them that you are mine. I wanted to declare to them that I am yours.”
Alyssa’s heart pounded. Her cheeks had turned red behind her mask.
She simply used her fist to give him a light punch on his chest and let the matter slide.
Right at that moment, her cell phone rang. A mere second later, Jeremy’s phone rang, too.
They turned their backs against each other and answered their respective calls.
“Hello? Cyrus?”
“Hi, Lyse. Nina’s autopsy has been completed. Everything has been settled accordingly. Her funeral will be held tomorrow,” Cyrus informed her in a low voice.
Alyssa took a deep breath and nodded. “Got it.”
“Other than that, Jonah and Silas have given their kind advice. They will house her grandmother at our nursing home in Belbanks. She was the one who chose to go there.
“It is understandable that she doesn’t want to stay at Solana City since Nina had passed away there. Plus, Belbanks is right by the sea. Its weather conditions should be better than Solana City’s. Looking after her when she’s on our turf would also be more convenient.”
“Yeah, I agree it will be better for her to be at Belbanks. I appreciate it.
She continued, “I will attend Nina’s funeral first thing tomorrow. But, I hope that her funeral can be held on the down-low. Take care not to alert the media lest we shock her grandmother.”
“I know. On my side, the police force has completely sealed this case. Jonah has also considered from all sides and used KS Group’s influence to suppress the news.
“Lyse, you don’t have to worry. We will make sure that you don’t have anything to worry about.”
As for Jeremy, his eardrums almost burst from Landon’s roaring voice when he answered the call.
Jeremy! We have news on the whereabouts of that son of a bitch, Brad! He has stowed away and entered Tsulu just last night!”
