It had become second nature to her to be suspicious of Jameson. She had already identified him as a villain.
“Damn it. That Jameson Schmidt has a lot of time on his hands, doesn’t he? He really stooped so low.”
Cyrus clicked his tongue and shook his head with contempt.
“Whatever. He can choose to play all these dirty tricks for all I care. Jeremy and I won’t be affected anyway,” said Alyssa as she smirked at Jeremy.
Jeremy’s eyes filled with gentleness. He kissed her on the lips, as if they were the only ones in the room.
Alyssa never had to ask for a kiss, as he was the proactive one.
Cyrus looked like he couldn’t bear looking at the scene before him.
He turned away and commented, “You’re both greasier than the roasted pork belly I had for dinner tonight! Anyway… We should get down to business. I still have to get back to the station after we’re done.”
They focused their attention back on the purpose of their meeting.
Jeremy opened the envelope that Cyrus brought. He leaned his head against Alyssa’s as they both studied the document.
“The trial for Sophia’s case will begin soon. This is the information that Silas and I have compiled. It includes some questions that will be asked in court. Do look and see if there’s anything else to add.”
Cyrus’s expression turned serious. He continued, “There is only one opportunity. We must grab onto this chance. We certainly cannot give the Walsh Group or Sophia a second to breathe!” Jeremy was bright-eyed. He held on tightly to the document in his hand. At that moment, the lightweight papers felt like a tonne of bricks to him.
The day when they could see the light at the end of the tunnel was finally coming.
Alyssa squeezed Jeremy’s hand. She fixed her eyes on Cyrus. Her eyes were full of gratitude. “Thank you, Cyrus. Silas, too.
“Regarding Sophia’s case, this is where you should stop. You are already doing something illegal by bringing this information out for us. Plus, you’ve both helped us enough.
“Jeremy and I will follow up with the rest of the matters. You and Silas don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Cyrus pressed his lips together and contemplated. He then nodded and said, “All the best.”
“Thank you,” answered Jeremy firmly. He returned a slight smile.
Cyrus got up and walked to the entrance to take his leave as it was getting late. He insisted that they didn’t have to see him out.
Right when he was about to open the door, the door swung open. Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him. It was Landon, who had just gotten home.
Surprise crossed Landon’s face when he saw Cyrus at the door.
What was happening? What was Cyrus doing at his house?
Cyrus, on the other hand, looked calm. “Please excuse me.”
His impassive attitude made Landon fly into a rage.
Landon raised his eyebrow and looked him up and down mockingly. With hostility, he remarked, “Oh, look who’s here. Aren’t you that person who was on television?”
“Yes, that’s me. And you are?”
Cyrus tilted his head to the side. He was not going to back down from his arrogance. He asked, “Are you the overprotective Mr. Landon?”
Cyrus’ casual description of Landon made the tension around them rise to the roof.
Landon’s eyes shot wide open, and his entire body tensed up!
How could he describe him like that?
He hadn’t been away from his home for too long. During that time, Cyrus had already come to create chaos in his house?
Alyssa and Jeremy had heard the ruckus at the door. They walked on over.
“Cyrus? You’re still here?” Alyssa, sharp-minded, noticed the standoff between Cyrus and Landon, shooting them a suspicious look.
“Oh, I wasn’t too sure how to open this door. Mr. Landon came back just in time and opened the door for me. I’ll be leaving now.”
Cyrus looked back and smiled brightly at Alyssa, as if nothing had just happened. “Once this busy period is over, I will take you out to have some fun. You shouldn’t be stuck living with this man every day. How boring is that.”
Jeremy stayed silent. As much as he knew that Cyrus was kidding, Jeremy couldn’t help but feel jealous again.
Even after Cyrus left, Landon was still unable to calm himself down. Alarm bells were going off in his head.
He couldn’t shake off the thought that Cyrus had met Lauren while he was away from home. He also speculated that they had a significant amount of interaction.
“What’s wrong, Landon? You don’t look too good,” Jeremy asked out of concern.
“I’m fine,” replied Landon. He exhaled heavily.
Alyssa was sharp. Instantly, she had perceived that Landon was bothered. She initiated an apology to him.
“I was the one who asked Cyrus to bring some documents to me here. I’m sorry for not informing you in advance. You are best friends with Jeremy, but I understand that this is still the home that you share with Lauren.
“I am just here as a guest. It was thoughtless of me to invite an outsider into your home. I promise it won’t happen again.”
Jeremy was startled. He put his arm around her waist and quickly explained on behalf of Landon,
“You’re overthinking it, Lyse. Landon is not such a petty person.”
Landon widened his eyes and waved his hand. “Alyssa, don’t say that!
“I’m glad to have you here. Jeremy is happy, and my wife is even more so! Lauren has been in a much better mood ever since you came. She has also become chattier. How I wish that you could both stay on until the new year! I have no objections at all!”
Alyssa leaned into Jeremy’s arms. They looked into each other’s eyes.
Alyssa then said, “I feel bad for encroaching on your space for such a long time. I do enjoy Lauren’s company. But, our presence here is indeed making it inconvenient for you and Lauren, especially if you want to be romantic with one another.”
Her words made Landon feel embarrassed. He used to be a womanizer. But his sex life took a 180-
degree turn because of Lauren. His love life and sex life were now sacred to him.
Thus, upon hearing Alyssa’s words, he felt quite shy. His face flushed red¡ªlike a man in love for the first time.
“Moreover, my Dad came by tonight.”
“Mr. Taylor came?” Landon was shocked. How much had he missed during his time away from home?
“Even though he brought his men with him earlier, he didn’t force me to leave with him. In fact, he even stayed to have dinner, which Jeremy prepared personally.”
“What the… Jeremy cooked for him?”
Landon was floored. Still, he didn’t forget to tease Jeremy, “Mr. Taylor is such a brave man. I can’t believe he dared to try your food. What happens if he gets diarrhea?”
Jeremy’s expression turned dark. Through gritted teeth, he replied, “Did you have trash for dinner? Your breath stinks.”
“My dad’s attitude toward Jeremy wasn’t great, but he wasn’t as hostile as before. Now that he already knows that we are living together, there is nothing more for us to hide. So, we’ll pack up our things in the next two days. We’ll go back to my place.”
Alyssa smiled sweetly. She couldn’t wait to be able to spend time with Jeremy alone.
Jeremy knew Alyssa very well. He murmured right by her ear. “You know what? Let’s move tonight.”
Alyssa yawned. “Aren’t you tired after busying yourself the entire evening? I’m beat. Let’s talk about this tomorrow.”
Jeremy still had his arm around her waist. He caressed her naughtily and whispered, “Well then, you can be the passive one tonight. Let me do the work.”
Despite Jeremy muttering those words under his breath, Landon heard everything!
Landon couldn’t help but think, “That son of a bitch. When did he become so flirtatious?”
Landon swallowed hard as he felt a burning passion ignite within him. He had decided what position he wanted to make love to his delicate wife.
“Pervert!” Biting her red lips, Alyssa forcefully jabbed Jeremy in the ribs with her elbow.
The three of them took their seats back in the living hall.
After a while, Lauren fell asleep watching the television. Angelina came downstairs and prepared them tea after settling Lauren down.
