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.

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🙄...
