Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1454

"I-I'm sorry…" Maggie's face was as red as a tomato.

"Ms. Madison," Xavier's breath sank as he spoke softly, just enough for her to hear, "you look beautiful today."

Maggie's face burned with embarrassment. Panicking, she hastily withdrew herself from his arms.

Jasper struggled to contain the overwhelming emotions within him. He hugged Alyssa tightly and whispered, "Thank you for doing this, Lyse."

Alyssa leaned into Jasper's arms with a smile, reveling in her luck to have found Jasper as her other half. "It's no big deal. I just asked everyone to come over for a meal.

"Oh, yeah. Lauren caught a chill from leaving the window open while she slept the past two days. Landon is home caring for her. They won't be coming. He asked me to tell you to enjoy your meal and eat their share."

"Okay." Jasper looked down at her face, his heart beating wildly as his eyes turned misty.

"Thank you, Madam Alyssa."

Xavier was incredibly excited to see Maggie. He was so touched that he found himself at a loss for words, unable to stop thanking Alyssa.

"What is there to thank me for? Maggie is my lifesaver. I've been wanting to treat her to a meal but have yet to find a good time to do so. This gathering had fulfilled my wishes."

As she spoke, Alyssa turned to look at Maggie warmly. "On the contrary, I should thank Maggie for showing up."

"M-Ms. Alyssa, don't say that. I'm so honored to be here. enjoying a meal!" Maggie's face blushed from panic as she rambled.

She could never have dreamt of attending Alyssa's gathering at her home. Wearing such a beautiful dress and surrounded by such an astounding group of people, everything felt surreal to her.

"Jasper!" Tatiana waved at Jasper happily.

Jonah said lightly, "Silas, Sean, go and help. I'm sure both of you can get it started."

Silas and Sean were rendered speechless.

"Let me do it, Jonah. I'm more familiar with the equipment at home," Jasper said. Without another word, he took off his coat, rolled his white sleeves up, and headed upstairs.

He walked past Axel and patted him on the back. "Thank you for trying, Axel."

Staring in astonishment, Axel couldn't fathom how Alyssa had managed to tame Jasper, the unruly beast!

Before long, the barbecue grill was ablaze. Alyssa and the group carried over the alcohol and food. They joyfully indulged in the moment, relishing the food and drink.
