Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1322

The atmosphere in the living room turned frosty in an instant.

Cyrus recognized that he couldn't and wouldn't be able to persuade Alyssa. If he tried, he would only make the situation worse. So, he retreated discreetly.

Angelina also brought Lauren away, leaving space for the rest to talk.

Jasper held his breath. His hands were trembling. Subconsciously, he reached out, wanting to hold Alyssa's hand. But, he stopped midway and curled his fingers in. He really didn't want Alyssa to leave.

He was never a coward. When he loved someone, he would love them fully. When there was someone he hated, he hated them to the core.

It was just that he was indebted to Alyssa. At the same time, he felt guilt toward Winston.

No matter if it was the three years of heart-rending marriage or Alyssa's miscarriage… These were all his fault. He was the one who hurt Winston's precious daughter. He had committed an unpardonable sin.

He didn't mind if Winston berated him or even beat him up again. He would allow him to vent his anger until he was placated.

"What are you thinking, Winston?" Alyssa scoffed.

With an adamant look, she continued, "I wouldn't have risked falling and running away from home if I wanted to listen to you. I think it's best for you not to focus so much on me.

"I had spent all those years being away and wandering in a foreign land. You didn't turn the entire country inside out to find me back then. Yet now, you are scheming and using every possible means just so you can ruin my happiness?"

Jasper pressed his lips tightly together and stepped forward. Alyssa still had a determined look on her face. He stared at her side profile with a gaze filled with concern.

"Alyssa! You…" Winston's face turned pale, and his breathing became irregular. A fire of rage burned from within him. "Look at you now! Are you still my precious daughter?

"You even went to the supermarket in person to do your own groceries. Have you had to cook your own meals these few days?

"You were no different from a housekeeper in the Beckett family, except that you worked without pay for three years. Haven't you had enough of that? Is this the kind of love that you wanted? Is this the kind of life that you wanted to have?"

The more Winston spoke, the more enraged he became.

She was the only daughter he had had with the woman he loved the most. She should be loved! How could she suffer a life like that?

Didn't Jasper know how to get the chores done?
