Can't Win Me Back Chapter 554
Back at the KS World Hotel, Alyssa monitored the progress of Lyla's event proposal with a greater focus and dedication than she poured into Ada Kingley's wedding. While she had worked diligently for Ada as a client, this time, her commitment was out of love for Lyla. She was family."Ms. Alyssa, you've been through a lot. You should rest after pulling three all-nighters," Sean reminded her and handed her a glass of orange juice, as he worried that coffee might be too acidic for her."I can't. The event hall arrangements have been made, but we haven't completed the dress for Lyla," Alyssa mumbled and massaged her sore forehead.Women of Alyssa's age would be shopping, traveling the world, and dating. Unlike them, she spent most of her time buried in documents and data, leading the hotel management to improve their business.She might be hardy, but she would also get exhausted like any other person. She instructed, "Arrange a visit to Rose Emerson's studio later.""Is it to work o

"Gosh, the goddess, Alexa, has graced my tiny studio with her presence! I am beyond honored to welcome you!" Rose teased Alyssa when the latter showed up.She had been impressed enough by Alyssa's elite family background and her identity as Sharon, the renowned fashion designer. To her surprise, Alyssa wore many more hats, including Alexa.Alexa was regarded as an icon of the jewelry design industry, akin to Sharon's status in the fashion world."Alright now. I'm wrong for hiding my identity from you. How can I make it up to you?" Alyssa mused and confidently wrapped an arm around Rose's waist."Well, do visit me often. Don't show up only when you have something to ask from me, okay?" Rose pouted sadly."You're making me out to be a player, and I'm not!" Alyssa playfully touched Rose's nose and sighed. "I'm swamped with work right now. But when things ease up, how about we plan a getaway abroad? I'll cover all the expenses!""Yay! You're the best!"…Alyssa had no time for tea

Xavier swiftly closed his gaping mouth, only for his jaw to drop open again. He gave Jasper a thumbs-up and replied, "You look fantastic! So full of energy!"Jasper's expression instantly soured as he demanded, "Do I really look great?"Xavier was momentarily stunned before finally getting it. If Jasper appeared healthy and energetic, it would alleviate Alyssa's guilt, as it meant he was recovering well. On the other hand, if Jasper showed up looking sickly, Alyssa would feel concerned about him.So, that was Jasper's strategy. How clever!The two men were stopped by an assistant when they stepped into the building. The assistant said, "Gentlemen, Ms. Emerson is seeing a VIP now and unavailable for meetings. I'm afraid you'll have to leave."Jasper put on a stern face and asked, "Is Ms. Emerson with her mentor right now?"The assistant was taken aback by his knowledge and asked, "How did you know?""I'm here as Ms. Emerson's mentor's husband," Jasper responded with narrowed eyes

Jasper's heart thumped wildly as he tenderly gazed at Alyssa. He momentarily fell into a daze from the hurtful words she directed at him."M-Madam!" Rose gasped at Alyssa's unexpected presence, her face a mixture of emotions. She had so many questions for Alyssa, but she had no idea where to begin."Jasper Beckett, why are you here?" Alyssa wondered aloud. Jasper noticed that she seemed indifferent to him, as though they had never experienced the near-death incident at the mountain park. Her reaction stung, but he replied softly, "I've come to see you because I miss you.""Cut the crap. Do you even believe in what you just said?" She smirked, not believing in a word he said. He merely stood there speechlessly."Fine. You've seen her. Now, please leave," Rose angrily demanded her visitors to leave. Jasper had been involved with Liana earlier. Now that Liana was done for good, he immediately made a U-turn to win back Alyssa. Rose found him distasteful."I'm not leaving," he firm

Alyssa slowly narrowed her eyes at Jasper with a look that could cut through steel. He appeared a bit flustered under her intense scrutiny. She didn't mince words as she remarked, "That's disgustingly corny, even if you think it isn't."He stammered, "I just ... want to be closer to you." Perplexed by her sudden anger, he realized he was utterly clueless when it came to comforting women. As a company president known for his decisiveness in business and eloquence at global summits, he now felt utterly helpless before the woman he loved."Please, don't call me Lyse, like how you called her 'Lia.' It only makes you associate me with her, and that's a grave insult." She fixed a piercing look on him. In response, he pursed his lips, feeling his throat catch.The pain he had inflicted on her had never truly lessened. She remained as hurt as the day they divorced. Every time he evoked their past, she would latch onto it and dwell on the hurt.Never had she considered forgiving him

"A family member I know is celebrating her birthday soon. I'd like Sharon to design a dress as a gift to that family," Jasper responded with a hint of discretion in his voice. He was keeping his surprise gift for Lyla a secret from Alyssa.Despite his good intentions, Alyssa took it the wrong way. She smirked at him and said, "Oh, right. I forgot that Her Royal Highness Mrs. Beckett is celebrating her birthday this weekend. I assume you're trying to win your dad's favor by sending her a gift. How considerate of you.""Alyssa Taylor," he warned her with a frown. He didn't mind a bit of teasing, but he didn't want to be misunderstood."When you contact Sharon, please don't mention that the dress is a birthday gift for Sophia Kirkman. I'm worried she might give you a good scolding," Alyssa retorted and angrily turned her back to him.Then, she added, "Are you finished? If you are, please leave. You're distracting me while I'm working—Ouch!" In a moment of distraction, she accidental

The setting sun bathed Alyssa and Jasper in a radiant golden hue, their figures entwined beneath the glass windows. It was a breathtaking spectacle. The fading sunlight felt as tender as the kiss they had just shared.The kiss left her feeling a bit giddy, a sensation that was electrifying and momentarily immobilizing. Initially, she punched at his chest and shoulders, but over time, her strength waned. His masculine charm left her breathless, and her legs went weak.She found herself gradually retreating until he pressed her against a table, causing the items on it to scatter to the floor.In the midst of making out, she let out a moan that seemed both like a protest and a plea. Jasper was incredibly turned on by the sight, and he blushed all the way to the tip of his ear. An unprecedented burning feeling engulfed him as if she had lit a fire on his body.At that moment, he made an unspoken promise to himself that Alyssa was the only woman he would ever kiss in such a manner

"I have moved on," Alyssa replied without thinking and hugged Rose back. She continued, "If I don't move forward after the divorce, what does that say about me? For 13 years, I didn't treat myself right because of him. But now that I've left him, I won't make the same mistake again. It's time to focus on the future."Rose sighed, her eyes misty as she could see the pain in Alyssa's heart from the way Jasper had treated her. Healing would be a long, arduous journey."Exactly! We must look ahead to the future. A smart woman does not blindly fall in love!" Rose concurred and patted Alyssa on the shoulder. She playfully chirped, "Madam, let's have a feast tonight and enjoy some good wine. I think I'll find your tragic love story quite entertaining.""Oh, my love life is a complete mess. I can't even bear to recount it," Alyssa replied with a smile and lifted her chin. "And you, Rose? You're always swooning over attractive men. Any new romances to share?"Rose scoffed, "What romance
