Winston's words made everyone stop in their tracks. Suddenly, everything went quiet.
Alyssa widened her eyes and parted her lips in disbelief as she stared at her father.
"W-What did you just say?"
Jasper's chest rose and fell with tremors, and his pupils contracted as he gazed at Winston's face. His heart skipped a beat as well.
"If you go back now, you'll probably arrive home at dawn, right? If you don't have anything planned tomorrow morning, stay here tonight." After saying that, Winston lowered his eyes and cleared his throat.
This time, Jasper heard it clearly. So did Alyssa and everyone else.
This enormous surprise sent Jasper's heart pounding with excitement. His eyes welled up with tears of emotion, and his throat felt heavy with gratitude as he extended his thanks to Winston.
"Thank you, Mr. Taylor. Thank you for taking me in."
He actually used the words "take me in".
This indomitable man, the scion of Solana City's top company, was extremely humble at this moment.
Alyssa's heart ached. Unable to bear seeing him like this, she quickly intervened. "What are you doing? It's just staying overnight. It's not a big deal."
"It is, Lyse." Jasper's eyes were red-rimmed, with barely perceptible tears shimmering in his eyes. But the excitement in his heart surged like waves. "I'm so happy now. None of the achievements I've made in my life have made me as happy as this moment."
For others, it was just a simple overnight stay.
But for Jasper, it was like a ray of hope for a rebirth.
Winston gave Jasper a meaningful look, then turned and walked into the villa.
"Sean, has Dad forgiven Jasper? Has he accepted Jasper?" Tatiana asked excitedly in Sean's ear as she held his arm.
"I hope so."
Sean looked at Tatiana gently as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Anyway, any progress is good."
Moved, Alyssa cupped Jasper's face in her hands. She suddenly pressed her soft, red lips against his, kissing him as if there was no one else around.
At first, Jasper was stiff with shyness, but then he couldn't help but embrace her. Their lips and tongues entwined, reluctant to part.
The elders of the Taylor family were too embarrassed to watch anymore. They quickly turned around and talked about other things as they walked away.

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...
