Chapter 2285 "Oh? Hey, Jasper." A look of surprise flashed across Justin's face. He was still holding up the bowl in his hand. Jasper snapped back to his senses. In a low voice, he responded, "Hey, Justin." "Since Jasper's here, it won't be appropriate for me to stay." Justin placed the bowl down gently and gave Alyssa a caring smile.

"Mr. Jasper, you don't feel that it's inappropriate in any way for you to meet with your own brother, do you?" Jasper uttered, "Not at all.” Alyssa smiled. "That's good to know." They used to be a couple who loved one another so passionately and deeply with their souls. Yet, they were even more distant than estranged spouses at this very moment.
Jasper's chest rose and fell slightly. He walked to Alyssa and presented the an ich of lilies to her with both hands. He had an expressionless look on his face.

Justin's pupils constricted a little. He bent forward and was about to pick up the flowers when he heard Alyssa's cold voice.
"Take your flowers and get out of my sight... Right now!" To Jasper, he felt as if he had been caught off guard by an attack on his chest. He looked down and stared at the lilies at his feet. He trembled slightly.

Justin frowned as he noticed the layer of cold sweat on Alyssa's forehead and the redness on her cheeks.

"Be mindful of your condition, Ms. Alyssa," he urged.
"You were the one who said that you didn't have it in you to love and that you wanted to break up. It was all you! In that case, you should walk the talk and disappear completely from my life!" Alyssa's eyes were bloodshot. With bated breath, she roared, "You even made this visit of courtesy right now... What for? Do | need you to feel bad for me? Do | need your pity? "Jasper... Am | such a cheap person to you? Two years ago, you abandoned me once. This is the second time...
Did you think that I'd still be willing to look at you? "Do you feel like my life would become a mess without you... Are you here to see how miserable | am so you can laugh at me?" That unending agony, heartache, and misery erupted from within her.

"Alyssa..." Jasper called out her name in a raspy voice.
However, it was as if nails had been hammered into his throat. He couldn't make another sound after that.
Initially, he turned Newton down and was unwilling to visit Alyssa. Nonetheless, a mysterious feeling in his heart prompted him to change his mind. He ended up ordering flowers before he visited her.
"I'm guessing you remember that | like roses, right?" As Alyssa spoke, tears of pain flowed from her eyes. "You clearly know that I've always loved roses. Yet, you chose to give me lilies.
"Jasper, deep down, I'm no longer important to you... Why do you have to force yourself? This way, you won't feel good, and it really disgusts me too. Since we're breaking up, we should have a clean break." She was always prideful and decisive. She was someone who would never turn back once she marched forward.
