Chapter 557
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 hadso 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 youbecause 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 madea U
-turn to win back Alyssa. Rose found him distasteful.
“I’m not leaving,” he firmly responded, his gaze unwavering.
“What, are you determined to be a holdout? Don’t make me resort to using my golf club to send youpacking!” Rose snapped. She might appear composed and even stoic in public, but she would fiercelynovelbin
protect those dear to her.
In this aspect, she resembled Alyssa a lot.
“Lyse, I need to talk to you about something,” Jasper pleaded fervently with Alyssa, ignoring Rose’s
warning
Alyssa’s chest tightened while she looked into his passionate eyes. Did he just address her as Lyse?
He had always addressed her by her full name in their three years of marriage. Sometimes, he’d evengo
straight to the point without mentioning her name.
Xavier was taken aback and happy for Jasper. It seemed that Jasper had finally learned a thing or two.
“Who are you referring to? You’d better watch your mouth. Madam seems reluctant to pay attention to
you after the divorce. You should instead address her as-”
“Come with me. We’ll talk,” Alyssa instructed him coldly before she left.
“If you doubt my words, feel free to ask Alyssa herself. She’ll tell you,” Jasper replied calmly.

“Impossible! I don’t get it! What on earth made her choose you?” Rose instinctively took a step backfrom Jasper. “Only someone shallow like Liana Gardner would fall for an audacious older man like
you!”
Jasper awkwardly pressed his lips. Right, what made Alyssa fall for him? While he had once saved herlife, that had occurred 13 years ago when she was just 11. Could she have even considered marryinghim at that age? It simply didn’t make sense.
“Yes. He’s my ex-husband,” Alyssa’s voice echoed from the second floor, drawing the attention ofRose, Jasper, and Xavier.
Dressed in a white silk blouse and black formal pants, she leaned against the railing with an amusedexpression. It was as though she was looking right through Jasper.
She continued, “Forgive me, Rose. Again, I’m not the first woman who has stumbled into a wrong
marriage.
