“Drinking alone is no fun. Let me keep you company, Jonah.” An inexplicable look lingered in Julien’s eyes. He strode to Jonah and sat beside him.
Jonah stared at him for a moment. He trembled as he swallowed hard.
“Why are you drinking so much? It’s bad for your liver.”
Julien sighed and poured a glass of wine for himself. “I know you are not in a good mood. Just drink. I will give you medication for your liver later on. Remember to take them. You’re not getting any younger. You need to take care of your health. Don’t ruin your health before you even marry.”
“You talk too much.” Jonah parted his lips and down his entire glass of wine. “I won’t get married, so don’t. worry about me.”
“You don’t plan to get married? Why?”
Julien rested his chin on his hand. He looked at him with a gentle yet playful gaze. “You are the eldest among the Taylor siblings, next in line to take over KS Group. How can you not get married and continue the Taylor family legacy? Will Mr. Taylor let you do it?”
“It’s none of your business. Oh, another thing-“
Jonah paused to pour another glass for himself. His voice was hoarse, and his eyes filled with longing as he continued, “Whatever happens to the KS Group is for Alyssa to handle. Alyssa is the heir to the KS Group.”
Julien was taken aback. “Are you not planning to become the company’s president?”
“I’ve never wanted to be president. Everything I do is to help Alyssa and stand in for my father for the last time.”
“You’re an amazing man, Julien.”
Julien’s nose inched closer to the side of Jonah’s face. His warm breath landed on his defined jawline.
“Then, why don’t you want to get married? Even if you like guys, you can still get married. Same-sex marriage is legal in Mosgravia.”
Jonah’s breath quickened as a numbing sensation tingled at-his fingertips like electricity.
The wine from his glass spilled slightly onto the wooden table top, resembling a small pool of blood.
“I’ve submitted myself to God, even my romantic life. So, I will never have a partner and get married.”
“God is gracious. He will forgive you for your reckless behavior birthed from the care of your sister. He will also forgive you for using the alcohol to wash your sorrows away.”
The look in Julien’s eyes deepened. His hand brushed away the red spot on the back of Jonah’s hand.
“If you want to love someone, God will forgive you. Or, have you forgotten how to love someone, Julien? It must have been a very long time. I can teach you…” 1
“I know how to love someone.”
Jonah lowered his gaze. The complicated look in his eyes fell on Julien’s lush red lips.
“I’ve loved before. I know what it’s like to love someone. And it’s because I know how it feels that I don’t want to ever love again.”
Jonah had loved someone before.
Who did he love?
What kind of man he was for a man like Jonah to fancy him?
In the spur of the moment, a strong desire and fiery passion filled Julien’s eyes.
As Jonah was getting up, Julien suddenly stood up and planted a passionate kiss ory
His heart was trembling so hard that he couldn’t help himself.

Alyssa didn’t end up with a serious injury from the accident. Her heart, on the other hand, was severely bruised.
Jameson stayed in the hospital to care for her for a few days. He never left her sight.
She didn’t need his care. Yet, he insisted on staying. Even if he couldn’t do much for her, she wanted
Alyssa to see him every day and night.
Winston flew back from overseas with his wives. When he landed, he received a phone call.
“It’s me, Uncle Winston.”
“Jameson?”
Winston was surprised. “Why are you calling me?”
“Alyssa met in a car accident a few days ago and is now hospitalized. I’m here at the hospital keeping her company.”
“What did you say? Alyssa was in a car accident?”
Winston’s blood pressure skyrocketed instantly. His vision blurred as his heart raced. “Why do I not know about this at all? Why wasn’t I informed?”
“Alyssa insisted not to tell you. She didn’t want you to worry.”
“What a silly girl! How could she do this? Does she even take me as her father?”
Winston thought about his precious daughter alone on the hospital bed. He had no clue. He was so furious and anxious that his face reddened. His heart twisted in pain.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Winston. Alyssa is fine. She should be discharged by tomorrow,” Jameson said.
“Sigh, thank you for telling me. And thank you for taking care of Alyssa. Let’s find a time. I want to buy you a meal to thank you. Which hospital is Alyssa at? Is she at the Taylor General Hospital? I will come and visit her now.”
“Uncle Winston, I’m waiting for you outside the airport. I will bring you there.”
Jameson paused and lowered his voice, adding, “I also have an important matter to discuss with you privately.”
Winston told everything to his wives, and they were flabbergasted. They wanted to follow him to his visit to Alyssa, but he stopped them. 1
It took quite an effort to persuade them otherwise. He then instructed someone to send them back to
Belbanks.
Winston trailed after Neil and his bodyguard. When they exited the airport, he saw Jameson standing there. He stood by the luxury car, waiting for Winston.
“Hi, Uncle Winston.” Jameson smiled as he shook Winston’s hand firmly.
Winston thought briefly. Then, he got into Jameson’s car. Neil and his bodyguard drove behind them.
After all, Jameson had mentioned that he had something to tell him about Alyssa.
Typically, a man like him would need to get in line to meet a big shot like Winston, even if he was Victor’s son. However, Jameson mentioned that whatever he wanted to discuss had something to do with Alyssa.
So, he couldn’t possibly sit around and do nothing.
The luxury car drove to the hospital without a hitch.
“Uncle Winston, I’ve been by Alyssa’s side this whole time. She is emotionally unstable and is often in a bad mood.”
A hint of heartache reflected in Jameson’s eyes as he continued, “I’ve known her for so long, and this is the first time I see her in so much pain. If you’d seen it, your heart would have ached for her, too. And I know just how much you care about her.”
It was like an arrow pierced into Winston’s heart. It ached terribly.
Winston’s deep affection for Alyssa was undeniable, surpassing what he held for his other children. No one came close to Alyssa in terms of his affections.
If someone told him that his precious daughter had been hurt or wronged in any way, Winston’s anxiety would shoot through the roof. It would be insufferable for him.
Jameson knew this very clearly
He knew Alyssa was Winston’s kryptonite.
“Tell me, Jameson. What happened in the past few days that I was away?”
Winston looked at Jameson anxiously. “What trouble did Alyssa run into? Who did this to my precious daughter?”
“Uncle Winston, who do you think is capable of breaking someone as strong as Alyssa?”
Jameson clenched his fists as his gaze turned cold. “It was that guy who had hurt her and abandoned her. Then, he continued to pester her continuously. He stabbed a knife into her heart and cut it open over and over again.”
