Surprisingly, the dinner turned out to be a peaceful meal.
Winston and Alyssa seemed to have a tacit understanding of one another. Neither of them made any mention of the things that would make each other upset.
"Woah! Are you all having a feast by yourselves? How could you!"
Cyrus came over after being tired of strolling around the house. He was also hungry, so he sat himself down at the dining table too.
"That wasn't very hospitable of you, Lyse. Why didn't you call me over when there's a feast here? I don't even have an appetite as big as Silas'. Were you afraid that I'd gobble everything up?"
Winston and Alyssa looked at Cyrus. In unison, they exclaimed, "Oh! I forgot about you!"
…
After dinner, Winston got ready to leave.
Alyssa stood on the steps as she watched Winston and Neil depart. As for Jasper, he wasn't just going to stand and watch. He walked them straight to their car.
Before Winston got into the car, he paused. He stood up tall and looked at Jasper with a deep gaze.
He said, "I stayed back tonight because I missed my daughter. I just wanted to spend more time with her. Don't you dare feel smug about it. I have never acknowledged you nor forgiven you."
In a neutral tone, Jasper replied, "I'm aware that I'm very inadequate. So, I've never expected to receive your forgiveness. I just hope you can give me a chance to be good to Lyse."
Jasper's voice was hoarse and overflowing with bitterness.
"I am willing to give whatever it takes and sacrifice my life for her."
Winston's pupils constricted, and a dimness settled in his eyes. He quirked his brow and sniggered, "You can present yourself however you like in front of Lyse. That is up to you. However, it is not necessary for you to act so affectionate when you're in front of me.
"I am cold-hearted toward anyone who is not my family. Even if you give your life away for my daughter's sake, I will still hate you. I will continue to despise you. I do not approve of your relationship. I still don't. Lastly, all of your efforts will go down the drain. It might all be too late when you regret it by then."
"There is only one thing I regret in my life." Jasper's eyes began to well up with tears. His thin lips trembled as he continued, "My only regret is not knowing my own heart from the start and not cherishing Lyse properly.
"Even if I cannot be with her, I will watch over her forever. I will do so until I take my last breath."
Winston stared straight at him without blinking. After a while, he got into the car without saying another word.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
