Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268

Rosaline sat beside Liana, consoling her.”Your uncle spent a lot of money to hi re Mr. Simon to save your aunt from the Bureau. Clearly, he cares deeply for her.

“I’m sure now that your aunt is able tohelp, you’ll definitely be able to marry Jasper! Hasn’t he been coming over frequently? I’m confident your relationship has grown even closer!”

She was grinning like a fox who had eaten the canary, feeling that her position as an in-law to the Beckett family was now 100 % secure.

Rosaline added, “You know what Jasper’s temp er is like. He would never have come if he didn’t like you anymore.”

“I guess so … I just… don’t feel good aboutall this,” Liana said as she recalled the look Jasper had given her earlier today.”Yes, he’s been by my side all these days,

but it feels like he’s changed.”

“That’s enough. Don’t go overthinkingnow.”

Just then, the door opened. It was Jasper.

Liana swiftly put up her frail, meek mask. “Jas-Jasper …”

Jasper went up to her side, his expression flat. Just when she thought he was close enough to touch, he stopped in his tracks. Liana’s hand hung awkwardly in the air, her cheeks slowly flushing with embarrassment.

“I need to head back to the office to finishsome work. I’ll come see you tonight.”Although Jasper’s tone was gentle, his expression was still unreadable.

“I’m sorry …Jasper …” Liana teared up.”It’s all my fault…”

“Don’t think about that anymore. Rest.”

With that said, Jasper turned and left.

Liana pinched and fidgeted with her blanket, words stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

Jasper no longer doted on and pampered her as he used to. He wasn’t the boy next door she was obsessed with anymore.

Sometimes, the way he looked at her made her anxious.

So, Liana shot her mother a look, and the latter quickly went out after Jasper.

“Mr. J-Mr. Jasper.”

Jasper stopped, then turned around slowly. “Yes?”
