Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1542

"I was just thinking about that conversation with Justin earlier tonight. It was really very intriguing," Alyssa explained.

"That would be the last time."

Jasper was still regretful that he had allowed them to meet. He pulled Alyssa in closer to him. "Next time, I will not let you come in contact with Justin again. Today was just an unexpected incident. Don't think too much about it."

"I'm not thinking too much about it. It seems to me that you're the one who's overthinking it."

Alyssa lifted her head slightly. She gave him a gentle poke in the chest. "Does it still hurt right here?"

He held her hand. He planted a kiss on her palm. "No, it's better now."

"There's really no need for you to be so paranoid. Also, what you imagined was not realistic. Would Justin stay in Mosgravia forever? He'd have to come back eventually."

Alyssa snuggled comfortably in his arms. "He was the one who facilitated the Jesseltons' discussion for a collaboration with the Beckett Group. And now, he took the initiative to contact Grandpa. Did you not realize yet that these were forewarnings? He has always been paving the way for his return.

"So, he will surely be back. How would it be possible for me to avoid him? On the contrary, I want to have a formal and proper meeting with your mysterious brother. He has seriously piqued my curiosity."

"Justin… Could it be that his health has taken a turn for the better?" Jasper lowered his eyes.

"You've struggled in the Beckett Group for so many years. How could you be so naïve now?"

Alyssa flicked him on the head gently. She continued angrily, "His health condition doesn't matter at all. He could still come back to fight against you if he really wants to. He can do so as long as he's alive.

"Do you know what is making me feel even more anxious right now? It is the fact that we are completely unaware of his true intentions and capabilities. On the other hand, I keep getting the feeling that he's already familiar with both of our situations here.

"Earlier this evening, he even said that he's a fan of mine. This shows that he has known that I was Alexa since a long time ago. I can't help but feel bothered by this."

Jasper was amazed that Alyssa had actually considered all of these. She really put a lot of deep thought into it.

He gave her a kiss on her forehead. Deep down, he felt ashamed. "Lyse, you don't have to worry about these. I'm here. I will handle everything. I will protect you and Grandpa."

"Let me give you a hypothetical scenario. Imagine if Justin comes back and asks you to give up your position as president at the Beckett Group. And he claims that it's because you owe it to him.

"Would you give it up to him?" Alyssa asked as she lay on him. Her eyes shimmered like the morning star. She blinked.

That said, his days were as sweet as honey. He felt blissful.

He now experienced how it felt to have a sense of responsibility that stemmed from love. It made him feel really blessed.

…

At the Sage Manor, Angelina prepared a table full of dishes tonight. Lauren was already seated at the table. She was quietly waiting for Landon to come downstairs so that they could eat together.

They heard a series of footsteps. Both Angelina and Lauren turned their heads toward the direction of the staircase simultaneously.

Landon was dressed neatly and smartly. He was walking down the stairs while buttoning his sleeve placket.

"Mr. Landon, are you heading out?" Angelina was quite surprised. She wasn't aware that Landon had plans this evening.

Furthermore, he was dressed so formally. He seemed to be attending an important event.

Landon nodded. "Yeah. I'm going out for a bit. I'll probably be back late."
