Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1466

"Were you peeping again?" Jasper questioned.

Alyssa pursed her lips and gripped her coffee cup. "Yeah. I didn't want you bullied."

"How did I do? Was I cool?" He placed a hand on her head and slid his fingers between her hair.

She inched closer and kissed him on the cheek. "Yeah, you were incredibly cool."

He wrapped his arm around her waist, and his hot breath tickled the tip of her nose. He said, "You deserve the credit for what happened today. Had you not pressured the media with KS Group's power, I couldn't have successfully kept every single Solana City media out of the press conference.

"Javier Beckett hated that I disrupted his plans, but he hated the humiliation more."

After some thinking, Alyssa gently advised him, "Jasper, promise me that you won't go against your dad after the Sophia Kirkman case. Alright?"

"Why? Feeling bad for me?" He lifted her chin with a grin.

"I'm serious."

"Once Sophia Kirkman receives her payback, I promise not to get into trouble with Javier Beckett as long as he doesn't unfairly target you and your family."

His ringing phone interrupted their conversation. He glanced at the screen. The look in his eyes softened, but he seemed troubled. "Lyse, it's Grandpa. He wants to see us."

…

The two of them felt worried on their way to Crescent Bay. Knowing that Newton doted on them, they wondered if he had summoned them to the villa because he had learned about how Jasper messed up Javier's press conference. Did Javier complain to Newton? Was Newton going to hold them responsible?
