Chapter 140
“The cold wind burns my face and blows its hosty pepper up my nose, Kavler murmured. “Black are my steps on silver sed; thick blows my hosty breath abroad”
Jasper had been waiting in the cold for nearly an hour now. Yet, this was nothing compared to his days in the military, where standing an entire day was routine,
The only difference was that his heart was in his throat right now.
He was worried Alice would change her mind and not come outside. What could he do then? Darge Into the manor? Impossible–he could not do that. This was the Taylor family’s residence.
What Hght did he have to knock on their door asking for Alice?
None that he could think of.
Heaving a sigh, Jasper took out the last cigarette in the box. He was about to light it when the sound of heels clicking rang out.
“Jasper Beckell.”
The man’s heart pounded erratically as he gazed up at his ex–wife. The cigarette between his lips nearly fell out with how much he was trembling.
Alice glanced down, instantly noticing the pile of cigarette butts at his Jeet. She frowned. “What is this? I thought you quit?”
“I waited for too long,” he replied. Then, he threw the fresh cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.
“Hah. You’re blaming me for this again? Suit yoursell. You do love accusing Innocent people.” Alyssa scowled.
“Stand right there, Alice,” Jasper called, a hint of panic in his tone. “Don’t leave before I say you can leave.”
“You couldn’t bear to kick me out so your childhood sweetheart could take my place. I’m just following your wishes–to disappear from your life for good. What else do you want from me now?”
Jasper’s heart clenched painfully, Shame and guilt flooded his senses like thousands of needles. Tears stung his eyes. “We both knew from the beginning that I couldn’t promise a lifetime with you. I even offered compensation for the divorce, but you refused it!
“I never embarrassed or shamed you once, Alice White, nor was I ever harsh or mean toward you. Don’t make me out to be some heartless monster, and don’t play the martyr!
“Even if we can’t end things on neutral ground, don’t keep attacking my pride. I don’t owe you anything, and you don’t owe me. You don’t have the right to treat me like you are

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
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?...
