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 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 you packing!" Rose snapped. She might appear composed and even stoic in public, but she would fiercely 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 even go 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.

Jasper was relieved and grateful. He tried to suppress his joy but failed. He hurried after Alyssa.

In the background, Xavier wore a broad, mischievous grin, thoroughly enjoying the sight of Jasper's humility before Alyssa. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With no way to prevent Jasper from entering, Rose redirected her ire toward Xavier. She shot him a fierce glare and hissed, "You wait out there. Jasper Beckett's staff is not permitted inside!"

Jasper caught up to Alyssa as fast as he could. Despite that, she did not once turn around to look at him. He didn't manage to get her attention even once.

Nonetheless, it was a significant step forward that she let him stay. He clung to this glimmer of hope, fully committed to winning her heart.

As they approached the studio's entrance, Alyssa suddenly stopped without facing him. He began, "Lyse, I—"

"When have I allowed you to address me as 'Lyse'?"
