Thinking of Alyssa, Jasper smiled with joy. "Could you tell me the brand? I want to give it to her as a gift when I go back."
Sheryl turned her face away, a shadow crossing her face.
"I'm afraid you'll return disappointed. What I use isn't perfume, but an incense made from rare local spices in Mosgravia. It's basically impossible to buy."
"Oh, I see." Jasper's eyes flickered briefly, and he remained silent thereafter.
He had asked her because he suddenly remembered where he had smelled her scent before.
It was on Jameson.
In their numerous encounters, he had faintly detected this scent of orchids clinging to Jameson's clothes.
The scent was exactly like Sheryl's.
Since she said it wasn't perfume but a rare incense from Mosgravia, she could have her hands on it, probably with Justin's help.
But who had Jameson received his help from? Did they know each other? Or was it just a coincidence?
Lost in thought, Jasper found himself in front of a carved door.
"Mr. Beckett, Mr. Justin is inside." Sheryl stepped aside to let him pass.
Jasper's breath grew heavier as he stepped through the door.
Inside the room, light smoke filled the air, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.
"Ahem... Jasper, you're finally here."
Justin maneuvered his motorized wheelchair out of the room. His face lit up with joy at the sight of his brother.
"Justin." Jasper hurried to his side.
Justin reached out and took his hand. As he looked up at Jasper, his eyes were twinkling. "It's been over ten years since we last saw each other, right? I really missed you.
"Why do you look thinner than the last time you video-called me from Grandpa's house? Have you been very busy lately?"
"It's bearable," Jasper replied warmly.
"No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your body. After all, you're the president of Beckett Group."
Justin coughed a few times, causing a blush to creep onto his pale cheeks. "This is me now. There's really nothing I can do to help you as your brother. The future of Beckett Group will rest solely on your shoulders."
Sheryl's gaze was tender as she pushed a cup of tea in front of Jasper. "Have some tea, Mr. Beckett."
Jasper remained impassive.
Suddenly, Justin said with a smile, "Speaking of which, there seem to be some connections between you and Sheryl."
"Connections?"
"I remember you saying that after graduating from military school, you joined Peacekeeping Forces and went to Luminara for international aid and counter-terrorism operations. It just so happened that Sheryl was also in Luminara at that time."
Justin turned his gaze toward Sheryl.
Jasper lowered his eyelids. "Is that so? That's indeed a coincidence."
"At that time, Sheryl served as a doctor without borders in Luminara. Maybe she treated some of your comrades."
Doctor without borders?
Those casually spoken words struck a nerve with Jasper.
He looked up at Sheryl sharply. In his mind, he saw the sparkling, luminous eyes of White Dove.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
