Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1270

However, no matter how hard Lauren tried, Axel was faster than her. Axel stopped the door.

Lauren had exerted all her strength but still failed to close the gap.

Axel used to be close with Alyssa, but now it seemed as if she regarded him as a monster. He observed her fear and guarded demeanor. He sighed deeply, furrowed his brow, and let out a wry laugh.

"Don't hide from me, Lyse. I'm not here to take you back."

Jasper's gaze wavered. Alyssa was equally shocked. "Huh? Axel, what are you…"

"I've never wanted to separate both of you."

Axel had observed the struggles of this couple trying to stay together despite facing numerous hardships. He had always felt uneasy.

"I sought you out to ensure your safety, to see that you're healthy and unharmed. Don't be afraid."

Axel's assurance hit Alyssa's heart.

Jasper was deeply moved, feeling a lump forming in his throat. He tightly pursed his lips. Things had progressed to a point he never anticipated—someone from Alyssa's family was on his side and had trusted him.

"Axel!" Alyssa went to Axel and hugged him.

Axel immediately returned the hug and stroked her hair. "Silly girl. You are such a silly girl. You jumped from the fifth floor to escape. How would we continue to live on if something happened to you? I might as well shave my head and be a monk."

"Lyse… You…" Jasper's eyes widened as his body trembled.

"I'm still up and running. It's just five floors." Alyssa's nose started running. Deliberately, she wiped the clear snot on Axel's black shirt.

"I know you too well! Whatever you set your mind to, it's unstoppable. Forget about the five-floor jump. Remember when you wanted to jump out of the plane in Shelland Island?"

Axel's eyes filled with resentment. He used his tie to wipe her snot, almost as if he were comforting a child. Alyssa was the only woman Axel was willing to lavish all his affection upon.

"Stop it with your nonsense!" Alyssa sniffled, her nose red. "Why would you want to be a monk when I'm gone? Jasper should be the one to do it. He might as well do it if he was to be a widower."
