Alyssa had her bath and did her skincare. Then, she climbed into the bed and heaved a quiet sigh.
The past version of her wouldn't have wasted energy on men. She likely would have gone out drinking and partying with her brothers without a care in the world.
However, the conversation she had overheard between Jasper and Landon that morning had invoked many painful memories for her. She was no longer in the mood for anything else.
She didn't even want to see Jasper's face.
She knew that it wasn't his fault that she had lost her child. Regardless, she still simply couldn't get over it.
Although she didn't bring it up or think about it, it didn't mean she had forgotten.
A knock came on the door. Alyssa assumed Jasper was back to bother her, so she closed her eyes and pulled the covers over her head.
She intended to ignore him.
"Madam, it's me, Rosie. Are you already asleep? If you aren't, do you want to have some milk? I've warmed a glass of milk for you."
Rosie's sounded warmly familiar and close. Alyssa jumped out of bed and wasted no time opening the door for her.
When she opened the door, Rosie stood before her with the glass of milk she had mentioned earlier, smiling.
Unintentionally, Alyssa's gaze darted around the surroundings.
Rosie could see through her immediately. "Mr. Jasper isn't here. It's just me."
Alyssa pressed her lips together in embarrassment. Then, she invited Rosie into the room.
Both women chatted like a pair of mother and daughter. Rosie was sincerely concerned about how Alyssa had been doing recently.
Rosie's every word was heartwarming to Alyssa.
Seeing that Alyssa had finished her milk, Rosie let out a satisfied smile. She pulled her by the hand and sat her down on the sofa.
"Madam, Mr. Jasper has shared many things with me."
Alyssa was taken aback. She blurted, "Including how Sophia set things up to cause Anne's death?"
Rosie's eyes widened. Suddenly, her palms became clammy with cold sweat, and she tightened her grip on Alyssa.
"Is it true? Is it true that Sophia was the one who did that?"
Alyssa could tell that Jasper was selective in his sharing. He only told her the less-significant news and didn't mention this important matter to her.
She felt a little bad as her carelessness with her words seemed to have wasted his efforts.

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🙄...
