And if she's truly a high-society lady, why don't you ask her if she's willing to be my mistress?" Cynthia was taken aback. "What on earth are you talking about? Jasper, you've really grown bold, haven't you?" Jasper responded, "I'm seeing someone now. I'm hanging up." He ended the call abruptly, leaving an eerie silence in its wake.
Cynthia did not call back. She was wary of pushing her only son too hard.
If Jasper decided to run away abroad again, bringing him back would be even more challenging.

It was Hayden.
"Hello." Violeta sat up cross-legged, pausing as she answered. "Oh, the rooftop? Now? Okay, I'll be right up." She quickly changed into more appropriate clothes and took the elevator to the hotel's rooftop.
When she pushed open the door, she saw Hayden standing against the wind, his coat billowing. He greeted her with a warm smile, his eyes clear and kind, and opened his arms for a hug. Violeta hurried over and embraced him.
"So, you've figured things out this time?" she asked, knowing that waiting downstairs might have attracted paparazzi.

Violeta chuckled. "You just show up without any notice. Are you secretly a detective?" Hayden grinned. "Do you have work tomorrow?" Violeta shook her head. "Yes. I already rested today. I don't get much downtime. Let's go inside; it's freezing out here." Hayden took her delicate wrist and gently pulled her back. "No need to rush." "What's going on?" Violeta asked, puzzled as Hayden slowly pulled a box of sparklers from his coat pocket.

Hayden said, "If you delay any longer, it'll burn out." Violeta fluttered her lashes. "Almost done, almost done."
She had originally closed her eyes to make a wish but suddenly opened them and declared loudly, "I wish for happiness and success in everything!" As the sparkler fizzled out, Hayden sighed. "Haven't you heard that if you say your wish out loud, it won't ctrue?"
Violeta blinked and smiled. "Of course I know. But I don't think the om heavens won't granny wish, SO saying it out loud won't make a difference." Hayden raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" Violeta picked out another sparkler
from the box. "There are so many people making wishes every dayn How could the heavens keep track of all of them? I bet the heavens can't I hear my wish, but you can. "Make my wish ctrue, Hayden. I'm wishing to you." Hayden paused for a moment.
The second sparkler was lit.
