Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 405

Alyssa did not have the time to blow her hair dry. She hastily put on a wool coat over her night robe and sped to KS World Hotel in her Bugatti with her hair still damp.

During the drive, she made a rare call to Jasper after giving it some thought.

Jasper was on a business trip at Edenfells City, approximately 62 miles from Solana City. The Beckett Group had bought a piece of land by the countryside to build a hot springs resort, which was already in the works.

At that very moment, Jasper and Xavier, wearing safety helmets, were inspecting the construction progress under the lead of the person in charge.

Just as Xavier was shining a flashlight for Jasper to read the blueprint, Jasper's phone rang. He frowned and impatiently dug out his phone.

Alyssa's name lit up the screen, a golden glimmer amidst the darkness. He held his breath and felt his heart race. His hand was trembling slightly as he clutched the phone.

"I-It's Madam!" Xavier's face beamed with exhilaration.

"I know. Calm down." Jasper feigned his composure and was about to pick up the call when he accidentally swiped the wrong way and ended the call, all because of the stiffness in his fingers from the cold and excitement.

Xavier howled, "Mr. Beckett, why did you hang up on her? You know she only calls when something serious is up! What if she's in trouble?"

Nervous, Jasper blamed his fingers for the mistake. Thankfully, she called back again.

"Hey," Jasper's voice cracked slightly as he picked up the call without incident.

"Yo, you finally picked up," Alyssa chirped in her melodious voice, though she sounded a little cynical.

"I will always pick up your call," he said earnestly.

"You don't have to pretend to be nice. I know you inside out after three years of marriage. This isn't the first time you've hung up on me," she said with a snort.

Confused, he asked, "When did I hang up on you? I never did that."

"Enough. I didn't call you just to take a trip down memory lane," she replied impassionately. "You'd better get ready to say your last farewell to your best bro."

"What did Landon do? Did he bully you again?" Coldness shrouded Jasper's face.
