"Now then, would you mind telling me what exactly is going on over here? And who is that woman? Do you know her? "

The storm of doubts struck Eric immediately when he passed a cup of coffee to him.

They were now in Eric's room as he yet had to complete his sleep before facing his family. But first, he needed to put Jasper's mind at ease.

He waited for him to take a sip of it and finally spoke.

"She's a close acquaintance of mine who got involved in a fight with street drunkards. Thankfully during her escape I happened to see her and from there I bought her here." Eric also took the chance to ease his frowns with a mild sip of coffee and he leaned back on his armchair.

But to his worries, he could only find more frowns over Jasper's wide forehead.

"If you're lying, atleast stop being so obvious." His squinted eyes shooted glares of suspicion at him.
