Chapter 303
“Mr. Jasper!” Mrs. Rosie waddled toward Jasper from the other end of the corridor with bags in her hands.
“Mrs. Rosie!” Jasper shot up and helped her with the bags. “Why are you here?”
“I heard from Xavier that Mr. Beckett Senior was hospitalized, and you’d be staying the night. I brought you some toiletries,
clothes, and supper. You should share the food with Xavier.”
Mrs. Rosie led Jasper back to the seat and laid out the food containers.
“Mrs. Rosie, I’m not hungry. Xavier can have it.” He stared at the steam from the hot food. That was the first time he felt a touch
of warmth in the long night.
Even if he managed to mentally pull himself together after all the chaos, he did not have much appetite.
“I-I’m not hungry as well! Mrs. Rosie, thanks for the offer!” Xavier shook his head. He wouldn’t want to eat before his boss did.
“Gobble it up, you all!” She felt sorry at the sight of Jasper’s exhausted appearance and shoved a piece of
cake into his mouth.
She added, “Are you really not going to eat because of that dark-hearted slut Liana Gardner? Man up, or
you’ll lose my respect!”
Jasper smiled bitterly and chewed on the food with much effort. “And who told you it was because of
Liana?”
“Why the long face, then? Oh, is this about Madam?” Mrs. Rosie winked wittily.
Jasper’s cheeks reddened for some reason, either from choking on food or embarrassment. “Um... It’s
because of Grandpa.”
“Maybe you should get a CT scan since you’re at the hospital. Let’s see if you’re eating your heart out now,
“she mocked him and gave him a side-eye.
Xavier silently gave Mrs. Rosie a thumbs up for bravely voicing out what had been on his mind, too.
“Mrs. Rosie.” Jasper said coldly, “I was bad at reading characters. I was wrong to hurt Alyssa for Liana.
But I would divorce Alyssa even without Liana in the equation.
“I married Alyssa because of Grandpa’s orders. We would never stick together because there was no love
between us at all. I have no regret *
“Three years, Mr. Jasper! Madam loved you with all her heart for three years. That’s enough time to tame
“I do not love Alyssa Taylor.” Feeling his heart trembling, he said seriously with a dry throat. “Why should I waste her time if I
don’t love her?”
Xavier was extremely disappointed and upset at Jasper’s words. He believed that Jasper must have had some feelings for
Alyssa. Perhaps Jasper found it hard to trust and open his heart to another due to the events he had suffered-childhood trauma,
his mom’s suicide, and the betrayal of a benefactor in his teenage years.
“There’s nothing shameful about apologizing and repenting. Your happiness is more important than your ego! I’d do anything just
to help you get back with Madam,” Mrs. Rosie lamented.
Jasper frowned. “Mrs. Rosie...”
“M-Me too!” Xavier hurriedly raised a hand. “I’ll do anything just to get Madam back!”
Jasper was baffled at Xavier’s declaration. He should have shipped off his unserious secretary!
“Oh, by the way,” Mrs. Rosie took out a recording pen and handed it to Jasper. “A smart-looking young man came looking for me
at home and gave me this. He wanted me to hand it to you.” 1
Jasper took the pen. “And who was that man?”
“He introduced himself as Mr. Lynch.”
Holding his breath, Jasper exchanged a look with Xavier before pressing the “Play” button.
