Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044

Thank you for tending to the house these past few days, Rosie,” Jasper said to Rosie as he stood before her with an arm hooked around Alyssa’s waist. They appeared quite like young newlyweds. who had just returned from their honeymoon.

Alyssa and Jasper cleverly knew not to reveal Jasper’s injuries to Rosie. Rosie was old, so it was better not to make her worry.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Xavier entered with two large lunch boxes. He was sweating and panting.

“Mr. Beckett! I’ve finally gotten the food you had me order from the Nouveau Table!”

“The Nouveau Table? My goodness! The waiting list for that restaurant is terribly long. It takes at least three hours of waiting.”

Alyssa swallowed a mouthful of saliva before complaining to Jasp Why did you have to make things difficult for Xavier?”

“Because you were craving good food.”

“When?”

“Last night in your sleep,” Jasper murmured in Alyssa’s ear before chuckling.

Alyssa blushed. “I-It was just dream talking!”

“Thank you for your hard work. Why don’t you set the table with Rosie. and join us for breakfast?”

Jasper said with a smile.

“Join you guys?” Xavier was shocked by the suggestion. He hurriedly. shook his head. “I can’t possibly eat with you all, sir. It just won’t do!”

“Do as I say,” Jasper quipped.

Xavier shivered lightly in fear. He was secretly overjoyed, however.

It looked like Jasper and Alyssa’s relationship had significantly improved after their trip to Tsulu.

Jasper’s plan of being with Alyssa had finally come true!

Everyone sat around the table and enjoyed their meal, creating a merry atmosphere. There was no separation between employer and subordinate at this moment. They were all family.

In truth, Jasper had always treated Rosie and Xavier as his family all these years.

After the meal, Alyssa and Rosie cleaned up in the kitchen while Xavier and Jasper went to the living room for a discussion.

“Something’s happened while you were away from Beckett Group,” Xavier said in a low tone.

“Did something bad happen with our partnership with Jesselton. Incorporated?”

Jasper had been resting deeply after his injuries. Alyssa kept a close watch on him throughout. She didn’t want him to expend too much. energy, so she confiscated his phone during his recovery. This made. Jasper unable to get the latest information from Xavier.

Naturally, Jasper had no clue what happened at Beckett Group.

“Nothing bad. It went surprisingly smooth.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Jasper’s brows wrinkled. “Why do you look so concerned? Did something happen?”

“The person who made the partnership happen wasn’t Mr. Javier but Mr. Justin instead.”.

“My… brother?” Jasper’s gaze darkened as his heart clenched.

“Yes. You weren’t present at the meeting, so Mr. Justin discussed with Jesselton Incorporated’s chairman on your behalf,” Xavier explained.

Xavier didn’t have a pleasant expression as he thought about this matter. He was hesitant to speak about Justin.

“Mr. Justin has never gotten involved in the company since he went to Mosgravia. Why would he suddenly appear at such a crucial time? It’s too coincidental!

“I don’t think Mr. Justin is doing the right thing. Isn’t this taking advantage of the situation and trying to one-up you, sir?”

“Don’t say that, Xavier.” Jasper grew solemn. “Justin saved me. He barely escaped from those men’s clutches all those years ago and even grew ill because of it. I wouldn’t have become heir if it weren’t for his rescue.”
