Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 953

“Mr. Jasper wears his watch all year round. It’s not because he likes to do so. It is so that he can cover

up the scar on his wrist.”

Alyssa was his wife. Naturally, she knew about his scar.

However, she had thought it was a battle scar he received from the battlefield during his military days.

She never expected there to be such a painful history hidden behind that long, terrifying scar.

“I’m sure you must have been curious about why Mr. Jasper insisted on staying by Liana’s side back

then, given that she was such a cunning, selfish, and materialistic woman.

“That was all because he places too much value on his relationships. He was also naive as he had

never come in contact with any other woman other than her.

“Plus, she was also the one who discovered him in time and saved him when he slit his wrist that year.

If not for her, Mr. Jasper probably

wouldn’t be here.”

Rosie rubbed her swollen eyes and continued, “Not only that, when Mr. Jasper was young, he was

labeled as an illegitimate child. His schoolmates ostracized him. No one was willing to get close to him

except Liana.

“I was quite puzzled at the time. I wondered how such a young girl could have the patience and

maturity that superseded her peers.

“It turned out that it was all by Sophia’s instruction. She had

orchestrated it all! And her motive was so that she could control Mr. Jasper through Liana!

“It was such a misfortune for Mr. Jasper. He was still so young when

player, the enemy’s niece, contributed to his undoing!

“Www. of all souls, did hardship choose Mr. Jasper as its canvas?”

Rosie couldn’t help but cry as she recounted.

Alyssa was in disbelief, and all her thoughts had vanished. It felt as though a lightning bolt had struck

her, leaving every nerve in her body devoid of sensation.

The profound shock robbed her of words, rendering her speechless. Naturally, she hated Liana to the

bone.

Suddenly, Alyssa comprehended the reason behind Jasper’s unwavering determination to be with

Liana.

Perhaps, back then, he was innocently under the impression that she loved him. Maybe even thinking

that Liana was sincere toward him and that she was his lifesaver and guiding light.

No wonder he had no room in his heart for her then. In his position, she would have exhibited identical

behavior.

“With that said, Mr. Jasper has truly repented. He has also completely moved on from that Gardner

bitch.”

The edges of Alyssa’s eyes betrayed a reddish tint. Rosie met her gaze squarely and shared, “I

encountered Xavier that day when he returned to Seaview Manor to gather some of Mr. Jasper’s

possessions.

“He told me you’ve found out what happened at the East Side Phoenix. Lake villa. I was told that you

got very mad at Mr. Jasper because of that. You thought he kept that villa because he still cared for

Liana.”

“Rosie, I…” Alyssa stuttered bitterly. The look in her eyes was hazy.

“Xavier is normally all smiles. But that day, he cried his eyes out

The thought of how Xavier was the other day made Rosie feel

powerless and distressed. “He told me that if you and Mr. Jasper were not going to reconcile, he would

remain a sinner for the rest of his life.

“He said he would be too embarrassed to stay by Mr. Jasper’s side. He wanted to resign-finishing his

work and handing everything over.”

“Resign? But why?” Alyssa asked with a look of surprise.

“He said that on the same night after Mr. Jasper and Liana separated, Mr. Jasper already ordered him

to sell the villa. He had been instructed to burn everything related to Liana-not to leave a single trace of

her behind.

“It was just that the property market at Solana City wasn’t great at the time. There were no interested

buyers, and Xavier had his hands full. So, he ended up pushing this task on the back burner.

“After that, he said Mr. Landon had brought Mr. Jasper to that house to stay that particular night. You

went over to look after him but ended up seeing what you shouldn’t have seen.

“When Mr. Jasper woke up, he almost beat Mr. Landon into a pulp. Things got really awkward between

the both of them after that. It

almost cost them their brotherhood of 20 years.”

Alyssa’s eyes widened slowly, and her breathing became uneven in

response.

“Xavier was shocked. He could barely sleep for the next few days. Now that he has dealt with the

house and things, he was trying to find. a suitable opportunity to apologize to you in person.

“He doesn’t care if you scold him, beat him up, or command him to do anything. He just doesn’t want

you to ignore Mr. Jasper.”

“To be frank, Mrs. Rosie, that incident is already

past

Alyssa held tightly onto Rosie’s hand. She said in a hushed tone, “It’s true that I was furious. I just

didn’t want to see anything related to Liana around him. But now that the misunderstanding has been

resolved, I am not angry anymore. I mean it.”

“I understand! I truly get you! Mr. Jasper harbors no ill intentions, nor is he a deceitful man. He only has

one shortcoming-he possesses poor emotional intelligence. Mr. Jasper is really dumb!

“I noticed your anger toward Mr. Jasper tonight. What did he do wrong? Tell me, and I will teach him a

lesson.

“I’ll spank him with my shoe to vent on your behalf. Then, I’ll make him apologize to you in person!”

Rosie exclaimed with a face full of righteous anger.

The way she spoke was as if she were Alyssa’s family.

Tears brimmed in Alyssa’s eyes as she enveloped Rosie in a tight

embrace.

In that fleeting moment, she almost shared with Rosie the painful truth about her infertility. However, in

the end, she held back, tears. still present, choosing to keep the secret within.

“Mrs. Rosie, thank you for telling me all this. And thank you for loving me. I’m doing well, really…”

It was well into the lonesome hours of the night.
