Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Jasper helped Briar settle down and ascertained that she wouldn't be in danger. After that, he traveled overnight to rush back to Solana City.

Worriedly, he returned to his home with Alyssa. The moment he entered the door, he heard the sound of Alyssa's melodious laughter coming from the living room. She and Rosie were watching a television series together.

Jasper felt relieved. A smile spread across his face slightly. He draped his suit over his forearm and walked over quietly.

"Madam, you haven't rested at all after such a busy day. Yet, you even made dessert for Mr. Jasper. It must be so tiring for you."

Rosie plucked an icy cold grape and put it on Alyssa's palm. Her eyes filled with concern. "You can leave these things to me. You should take the opportunity to rest."

"It's alright. I'm not tired. Plus, I get to focus on doing one thing and declutter my mind when I'm making desserts. It helps me to feel more relaxed."

Alyssa smiled and ate the grape. She even fed a grape to Rosie. "It's been a while since Jasper had a good rest too. When he comes back, I'll have him eat all of it, take a shower, and have a good night's rest."

Rosie sighed, "You were the one who took care of his daily living at Seaview Manor. You didn't rest a single day throughout those three whole years. I didn't think that you'd still be the same now."

Rosie couldn't help but feel gloomy. "You should love yourself more too, madam. Don't be so good to him. You're going to spoil him!"

Jasper stayed standing in the shadows. He pursed his lips, and his heart skipped a beat.
