Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2330

Xavier was confused. He caught the tie bar in his hands and asked, "What's this, Mr. Beckett?"

Jasper closed his eyes to rest. He tugged at his tie knot but still felt suffocated.

"It was from Sheryl," he answered.

Xavier let out a cry. "This filthy thing is from that wild woman? I don't want it!"

With a disgusted look on his face, Xavier hurled the tie bar aside. "I'm already seeing someone. I don't want my girlfriend to misunderstand me."

"Girlfriend?"

"Yeah, Mr. Beckett. Maggie is my girlfriend."

With his eyes closed, Jasper frowned. "She's become of age?"

Xavier didn't know how he should react. "She's already in university, Mr. Beckett. Am I that much of an animal in your eyes?"

Suddenly, the memory of himself and Alyssa rescuing Maggie flashed through Jasper's mind.

Just then, Xavier exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Beckett, look!"

Jasper opened his eyes slowly, and his heart jolted. Standing alone before his car was Alyssa, framed against the piercing headlights, snow swirling around her. The wind tossed her dark hair, and she looked almost fragile as if the wind might carry her away.

Without hesitation, Jasper stepped out of the car and approached her.

"Hi, Mr. Beckett." Alyssa smiled slightly at him.

Looking at her face, which had turned red from the cold, he could tell that she had been wandering outdoors for a very long time.

He opened his mouth to speak but could not make a sound. All he could taste was a slight bitterness at the back of his throat. He remembered that she was someone who got cold quite easily.

Once the temperature dropped, she loved to snuggle in his arms and use his hands as her source of heat; his hands kept her warm regardless of the time of day.

Alyssa didn't hope to hear any words of concern from him. Even so, she didn't mind it. She softly asked, "Mr. Beckett, do you have time for a chat?"

Jasper pursed his lips. "Let's chat in my car."

"Sure. Thank you." Alyssa was very courteous to him. Even her way of speech sounded a little distant.

Her mature and sensible demeanor annoyed Jasper.
