Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1184

The dinner ended in a strange and oppressive atmosphere.

Upon learning about the marriage with the Schmidt family's son, Tatiana felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles. Her face lost all color. It was as if all the warmth in her body had been drained, leaving her cold from head to toe.

On the way home, she and Lyla shared a car. There wasn't even a chance for her to talk to Winston.

"Mom ... why?"

Tatiana's eyes were brimming with tears. She asked with a choked voice, "You know that I love Sean. You know that I'll only marry him. W-Why do you want me to marry into the Schmidt family?"

Lyla felt bad. Nonetheless, she replied with a calm voice, "Your father and I believe that this is a more suitable match for you. Sean is a good person. However, his family doesn't see eye to eye with us.

"According to what I know, the Lynch couple doesn't like us. If you forcefully marry Sean, it would be a marriage without their blessing. Such a marriage would be agonizing for you.

"Look at Lyse. She's such a resilient girl. You can probably guess how the three years in the Beckett family were for her. In the end, they still got divorced."

After a sigh, Lyla continued, "Now, Simon has taken a stand against our family, disregarding the favor we once showed him. He chose to bite the hand that fed him by becoming Sophia's defense attorney.

"I know a professional lawyer shouldn't be picky about cases, but this is Sophia we're talking about. She tried to harm you several times and even—"

When Lyla recalled the insults and humiliations she received from Sophia during her acting career, her heart still ached.

"Simon's actions and his parents' tolerance toward him are things your father and I cannot tolerate. The Lynch family doesn't hold the same values as they used to. I don't want you to marry them."

"But Sean is different from them!"

Tatiana felt like her heart was being tightly squeezed. Her throat hurt as she spoke with a sob. "From the time Sean graduated until now, he has always been supporting Jonah and Lyse. Can't Dad see how loyal he has been to our family? If he rejects Sean's efforts just like that, it will be so unfair for Sean!"

Her simple and honest nature made her first think of Sean's grievances rather than her own future. "And Lyse told me that she divorced Jasper not because of pressure from the Beckett family but because Jasper didn't love her at that time. He disappointed her. But Sean ... He has never disappointed me!"

Lyla's long eyelashes fluttered as she pressed her lips tightly.
