Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 

The tension in the air was almost palpable. Caught off guard, Alyssa inadvertently locked eyes with Jasper. She furrowed his brow in annoyance. 

Jameson, too, found himself unexpectedly caught up in the situation. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with an unemotional façade that quickly transformed into a sheepish expression. 

“I’m sorry, Ms. Taylor. I had no idea he’d be here when I invited you along. I’ll forgo Madam Hammond’s autograph. Let’s go.” 

Alyssa, however, remained composed. She flashed a cool smile and stood her ground. 

“No need to worry. I’m perfectly fine. There’s no reason to avoid my ex-husband. I want you to get that autograph to fulfill your mother’s wish.” 

Jameson widened his eyes at her, seemingly touched by her words. In contrast, her ex-husband’s face fell. 

Jasper could hear her reply loud and clear as they stood not far away from each other. 

Throughout the concert, he had been seething with anger, and he finally lost it when Alyssa mentioned Jameson’s mother. He had the urge to confront her about the nature of her relationship with Jameson. 

Yet, he knew deep down that it was none of his business. He even imagined how she might verbally humiliate him. After all, they were divorced. 

But why did his heart always overpower his mind, leading him to feel a fatal attraction toward her? 

Suddenly, the door to the dressing room swung open. 

“Jasper!” A shrill female voice cut through the tense atmosphere. Before Jasper could react, a force pulled him into an embrace by a soft body in a green gown. 

Zoe clung to Jasper like a sloth, her face nuzzling against his shirt with adoration. “Jasper, were you here just to watch my performance? Was this meant to be a surprise for me?” 

Jasper’s expression faltered, and his body tensed. He stole glances at Alyssa through the corner of his 

eye. 

Landon did not see anything wrong with Zoe’s actions. To him, Zoe was acting in the same manner when 

she was younger, which was perfectly normal. 

However, it didn’t occur to him that Zoe was now 22 years old, a full-fledged adult. 

Her conduct toward Jasper was inappropriate, especially considering Jasper wasn’t her brother. What 

“Jasper, I want a cheek kiss!” Zoe boldly wrapped her arms around Jasper’s waist, making an unabashed request without concern for the strangers around them. 

If anything, their presence seemed to embolden her, as she was eager to flaunt her close relationship with Jasper. 

Jasper remained unmoved and refused to respond to her request. He had never given his attention to anyone else since he spotted Alyssa in the theater. 

Zoe quickly realized that Jasper’s attention was directed elsewhere. She followed his gaze and saw Alyssa, the ethereal beauty. Jealousy consumed her as her eyes dimmed. 

The rival of a beautiful woman was someone even more beautiful.
