Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1943

Jasper gazed out the window with a gloomy expression, pondering Newton's earnest teachings. The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt.

Somehow, he couldn't shake the feeling that Newton was afraid of Justin.

Newton's advice and determination to protect him at all costs made Jasper wonder if Justin was more than just a person in Newton's eyes. He seemed more like a bloodthirsty beast lurking in the shadows.

"Ahem... It was such a close call tonight, Mr. Beckett." Noticing that Jasper was down, Xavier tried to ease the mood.

"What?"

"You almost lost your innocence!"

"Lost what?" Jasper frowned.

"Earlier in the garden, Ms. Gillis almost threw herself at you. Luckily, my swift reflexes kicked in, and I arrived just in time to protect your virtue," Xavier boasted, sporting a self-satisfied grin.

Virtue?

Upon seeing his smug look, Jasper wanted to knock some sense into him.

"Even if you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have any contact with any woman other than Lyse," Jasper stated with closed eyes. "Am I that unreliable?"

"That may be so, but even a whoremaster can't stop a shameless bitch."

Jasper's face darkened at those words.

"No matter how vigilant you are, those annoying bugs will seize any opportunity to land on you."

Without noticing the invisible wrath enveloping him, Xavier continued to ramble on, "Seaview Manor isn't like your private residence with Madam. It's crowded with people of all sorts.

"If there were any physical contact between you and Ms. Gillis, and someone with ill intentions spread rumors, Madam might not allow you into bed if she hears about it."

Anger flashed in Jasper's eyes as he kicked the back of Xavier's seat. "Tell me. Who's the whoremaster?"
