Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 951

Alyssa lowered her eyes and moved Jasper's hand away. "We should get the door first," she said as she brushed past him.

It was evident to Jasper that she wasn't being herself. It felt as if she was feeling a little resentful toward him.

Alyssa hurried to the entrance and opened the door.

"Mrs. Rosie!"

"Madam!"

Rosie dropped the bags that she was carrying and held Alyssa in an emotional embrace.

"Madam … I've missed you so much!" Rosie cried. She sobbed like a child even though she was already in her 50s.

Alyssa stroked Rosie gently. She choked back her tears, saying, "I've missed you very much, too! I'm glad to see you energetic and well."

Jasper had tagged along behind Alyssa. He was surprised to see Rosie.

Without a doubt, it was Alyssa who called Rosie over.

"Mrs. Rosie, Mr. Beckett hasn't been feeling too well recently. I'm quite busy, and I'm afraid I might not have the time to look after him. Sorry to have to trouble you with looking after him," Alyssa explained gently.

"It's my duty to do so! But, the fact that you're willing to look after Mr. Jasper … Truly, I …" Rosie responded. She was on the brink of tears again.

Never had she imagined that she would be able to see Jasper and Alyssa being together again during her lifetime. Even if she were to die, she could now rest in peace!

Jasper's heart gradually sank upon hearing Rosie's words.

He knew Alyssa well. She was someone who could care for herself independently. More than that, she usually avoided troubling others.

However, she had summoned Rosie over from Seaview Manor this very night. There could only be one purpose—she no longer wanted to spend time alone with him.

He surmised that she no longer wished to do so, yet, at the moment, was unable to ask him to leave. Consequently, she opted to call someone they both knew well to circumvent any potential awkwardness under the same roof.

At that thought, Jasper slowly clenched his fists by his side. Simultaneously, he felt his chest tighten.

Love made him fearful. It made him afraid of gaining and losing.

Rosie took the plate from his hands. "Mr. Jasper, I'll do the washing up. You don't look too good," Rosie offered with a concerned look on her face.

"Mrs. Rosie, could you possibly go up to have a chat with Lyse later?" Jasper asked.

"What is it? You've just reconciled with one another. Did you two bicker again?"

Jasper looked worried and helpless. Rosie felt bad for him.

"I feel like I don't understand her at all, Mrs. Rosie. No matter how I try, I couldn't get her to open up to me."

Jasper let out a dispirited sigh. He felt terrible.

"I hope you can go and talk to her. Back then, at Seaview Manor, she was the closest to you. Maybe she'll open up to you when you chat with her and share some things she isn't willing to tell me."
