Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 556

Xavier swiftly closed his gaping mouth, only for his jaw to drop open again. He gave Jasper a thumbs-up and replied, "You look fantastic! So full of energy!"

Jasper's expression instantly soured as he demanded, "Do I really look great?"

Xavier was momentarily stunned before finally getting it. If Jasper appeared healthy and energetic, it would alleviate Alyssa's guilt, as it meant he was recovering well. On the other hand, if Jasper showed up looking sickly, Alyssa would feel concerned about him.

So, that was Jasper's strategy. How clever!

The two men were stopped by an assistant when they stepped into the building. The assistant said, "Gentlemen, Ms. Emerson is seeing a VIP now and unavailable for meetings. I'm afraid you'll have to leave."

Jasper put on a stern face and asked, "Is Ms. Emerson with her mentor right now?"

The assistant was taken aback by his knowledge and asked, "How did you know?"

"I'm here as Ms. Emerson's mentor's husband," Jasper responded with narrowed eyes. "You can't stop a husband from seeing his wife."

Xavier's jaw hung agape at Jasper's audacity.

The assistant frowned and scrutinized Jasper before remarking, "Mr. Beckett, do you think I wouldn't recognize you? If I recall correctly, your fiancée, Ms. Gardner, ordered a dress from us just a few months ago. She announced your upcoming wedding at her birthday party in quite a grand manner."

Jasper tensed at the mention of Liana's name.
