Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 55

Jasper recalled the disappointment and resentment in Alice’s eyes as if they were sworn enemies. He suddenly felt empty inside, like he had lost someone important.

Rosie followed Jasper into the study looking upset, not long after.

“Mr. Jasper, Ms. Gardner is here. You should go greet her.”

His answer took Rosie aback. Had he finally grown a backbone? It was so inspiring to see a fool turn over a new leaf.

“What if she insists on staying?” Rosie asked.

“Then, let her be.” Jasper sighed deeply and rubbed his forehead. He kept thinking of the phrase “Good for nothing.” He was infuriated by Alice’s description of him as such. She had never relied on him. How would she know if he was useless?
