Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1260

It had been 24 hours since Jasper started standing outside Heightsnew Villa.

He was just such a stubborn person. He couldn't rest in peace until he saw his lover and got his answers.

Last night, Jasper witnessed the Schmidts' arrival. He presumed that they were there to find fault in the matter regarding David.

He concealed himself in a corner and observed them. It wasn't because he was afraid. It was because he didn't wish to create trouble.

He would bring trouble to Winston if he aggravated Victor by giving him the impression that he was in cahoots with the Taylor family.

Jasper didn't mind cleaning up the mess after the Taylors. However, exposing himself now just wasn't the smartest thing to do.

The sky was dark, and the wind was howling like mad.

The wind blew against his body. The weight of the wind almost felt like the beating that he had taken the previous night.

Jasper's eyes were dim and deep. Dark stubble had begun to emerge on his sharp jaw, accentuating his gruffness and the dire situation. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was in the military.

Then, his cell phone, which he left charging in the sports car, rang.

The ringing phone snapped him out of his painful thoughts temporarily.

Jasper opened the car door and picked up his phone. It was Xavier calling.

"What's up, Xavier?" Jasper answered the call in an extraordinarily hoarse tone. He sounded like he had been completely drained of energy.

"Mr. Beckett! You've finally answered the phone!"

Xavier was so anxious that he was about to cry. "Mr. Beckett Senior wasn't feeling very well. He was just sent to the hospital! You should come back and visit him!"

Jasper's chest stiffened. His cold sweat drenched his already damp suit once again.

…

Alyssa's brothers gathered in the cellar at Heightsnew Villa.

In the past, they always had a good time there. Yet now, with frowns on all of their faces, they were drowning their sorrows with alcohol.

Liam, in particular, was drinking glass after glass of booze like it was water. Silas felt like his stomach was about to burn just by watching him from the side.

"Stop drinking, Liam. It's not good for you," Jonah advised as he snatched Liam's glass from him.

"That's right. You haven't even gotten married. Too much alcohol is harmful to your liver," Silas added.
