Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 952
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 your 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.
Rosie let out a number of consecutive sighs. Her eyes turned red.
She uttered, “Actually, I’ve long ago suspected her. Other than Sophia, who else would have had the opportunity to do something
like that to Madam Anne at that time? Liana and Betty were still kids back then.
How could they have committed any murder?”
The look in Alyssa’s eyes gradually turned dim.

Who was to say that children couldn’t do evil?

Although Liana and Betty didn’t have the capability to set up such a
sinister plot for Sophia in the past, they had gone out to spread
malicious rumors about Anne.
That caused Anne, who was already suffering from severe depression, to plunge into extreme humiliation and pain.
Some kids were not innocent at all. They were just little devils.
“But, Madam, that is just my speculation. I do not have any proof,” Rosie clarified.
Tears began to roll down Rosie’s cheeks. Her heart ached. She ridden with guilt.
“Back then, I would have been put into a difficult position if I had voiced out that Sophia had something to do with Madam Anne’s.
death. Mr. Jasper was still young at the time. What would have. happened to him after Madam Anne’s passing?

“I promised Madam Anne to take care of Mr. Jasper as if he were my own son until he grew up. If I could no longer stay with the
Beckett family, I would just be making his plight even worse!”
“Now that it has come to this, Mrs. Rosie, there is something that I want to ask you.”
Alyssa finally got a chance to ask the question she had kept hidden in her heart all these years.
“What did Jasper go through when he was young? Could you tell me?”
Rosie hid nothing from her, disclosing everything to her one by one.
This was because she understood that Alyssa still had her guard up against Jasper, causing her to treat him with a mix of
coldness and warmth at times.
Alyssa could only be completely understanding and considerate of Jasper if she had an absolute understanding of him.
She believed that this would be a boost to their relationship, which was finally starting to progress.

Thus, Rosie recounted how Jasper and his mother stayed in the slums when he was young. She told her about how they were
oppressed and how he had to care for his gravely ill mother.
Rosie also shared how Javier had brought Jasper back home and how Jasper was treated with disdain and neglect in the
Beckett family.
Lastly, she described how Jasper suffered from major depressive disorder for some time when he was young due to his mother’s
death. She even told her about the time when he attempted suicide by slitting his wrist in the bathroom.
Alyssa felt her chest tighten when she heard that. She almost
couldn’t catch her breath.
Tears of sorrow streamed from her reddened eyes down her face.
