Jasper tried to suppress his cough. Nevertheless, upon entering the villa, a fit of coughing seized him, likely triggered by inhaling the blend of cold and warm air.
"Mr. Jasper!" Mrs. Rosie exclaimed and went up to him. She felt sorry looking at him coughing his lungs out. "What's wrong? You have a bad cough. Did you catch a cold?"
"I'm fine. Mrs. Rosie, just get me some water," he instructed, hiding the fact that he was injured.
That did not lessen Mrs. Rosie's concerns. "But you don't look fine at all! Why don't we get the family doctor to check on you?"
"I'm really fine. I just need to take some medications," he reassured her with a smile.
Just then, the butler, Barry Durham, announced, "Mr. Jasper, Mr. Javier would like to talk to you in his study."
…
Jasper frowned at the scene that greeted him in Javier's study. Javier was on the couch with Sophia, both dressed in matching silk nightrobes.
She had put on some light makeup, and her hair was tousled. She leaned limply in Javier's arms and occasionally planted kisses on him.
Jasper nearly left the study after witnessing the disconcerting scene.
"Okay, that's enough. Jasper is here," Javier reminded Sophia, as he wasn't completely thick-skinned.
Sophia responded by lazily tracing circles on Javier's chest with her slender fingers, casting him a flirtatious look. "We'll continue from where we left off later."
The more she aged, the more coquettish she became.
With a sullen face, Jasper asked, "What's the matter, Dad?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
