Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2486

After hearing that, Alyssa did not refuse further. She knew this would come up again even if she refused now. Justin might appear carefree, but he was actually stubborn and malicious deep down. He would stop at nothing to get his way.

Moreover, Alyssa had accepted Justin's help so Winston could recover soon. It would be too narrow-minded of her to turn him down over such a trivial invitation.

At 6:00 pm sharp, Alyssa's luxury car glided slowly into Seaview Manor. She gazed out the window at the familiar sight, reminded of the times when she and Jasper had lived here as a married couple. The moments they shared were bitter, sorrowful, and happy.

Tears welled up automatically, and she lowered her eyes to conceal the sorrow.

Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to the man next to her, surprised, and saw him presenting a clean, nice-smelling, white handkerchief.

"I wouldn't have arranged this dinner at home if I'd known it would make you feel so uncomfortable to be back here," Justin said.

He gazed deeply into Alyssa's reddened eyes and added in a soft, regretful voice, "I'm sorry, Lyse."

Even his extremely gentle tone sounded almost identical to Jasper's.

Alyssa's heart fluttered-not because of the man before her, but because of Jasper, the person deeply etched in her heart, the man she could never forget. "Please don't misunderstand. Mr. Beckett. I wasn't getting emotional."

Alyssa took deep breaths to calm herself down. In an icy tone, she continued, "Also, I would very much prefer it if you called me 'Ms. Alyssa' or 'Ms. Taylor.' It would be more formal that way, and these forms of address would be more suitable considering my identity."
