Nina paced back and forth in the garden after speaking to Alyssa on the phone. She was in distress.
This was the first time she had ever done something like this in her life. Her heart wasn't strong enough to take it.
She returned to the villa anxiously.
All of a sudden, her heart stopped for a second. Jasper, who hadn't returned for a long time, entered the villa.
"Mr. Beckett … Mr. Beckett!"
Nina broke into a sweat. Her face paled as she ran after Jasper. She went in front of him to block him.
She had been working as a maid here for many years, but she never dared to talk to him. She had no idea where she got the courage to charge toward him.
Jasper frowned slightly. "What can I do for you?"
"I-I … You …" Nina cursed herself for getting tongue-tied now.
"You can take your time." Jasper looked at her lightly.
He had never had this level of patience before. Now, Alyssa had completely influenced him. He was more easygoing and rational now.
Nina bit her lip hard. Her face reddened. She contemplated telling Jasper the truth—that Sophia had killed his mother.
She doubted if Jasper would believe her.
She took a step forward. She made sure no one was around and lowered his voice. "Mr. Beckett, I'm meeting with Ms. Taylor in secret somewhere tonight. C-Can you join us?"
Jasper was shocked as his eyes constricted. He leaned his body forward abruptly. "What did you say? You are meeting—"
"Nina! What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a shrill voice came from above them.
Nina looked up and saw Betty's fierce expression. She was terrified.
Jasper noticed how oddly she was behaving. He had noticed her stuttering earlier. He deduced that Betty must have had something to do with it.
"Get up here quickly. I received some clothes earlier. Come and help me organize them. Hurry up!"
"Yes, Ms. Betty." Nina pursed her lips. Torn, she looked at Jasper.
Jasper inched closer to her. He spoke to her voice in a voice only audible to both of them, "I will ask Xavier to get in touch with you. Please let him know where you are meeting Ms. Taylor tonight."
…
Nina returned to Betty's room at lightning speed. Betty had a mountain of clothes for her to manage.

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...
