Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1500

Alyssa continued, "Lauren likes art. She's exceptionally gifted in painting and has the potential to become a brilliant artist. Have you ever seriously nurtured her talent? Why haven't you hired a teacher to teach her painting?

"Why haven't you sent her to prestigious art schools for further studies? Is her talent only meant to entertain you and make you happy? Do you know you're wasting her time and holding her back?"

Landon felt like there was a massive hole in his heart that was causing him pain. "I'm not wasting Lauren's time. I'm not holding her back. Lauren is the only woman I want in my life. From the beginning, you and Jasper have known that I want to marry her!"

"What difference does it make if you marry her? It'll just be repeating the same days, or even worse."

Alyssa shook her head in disappointment. "If you're incapable of taking care of Lauren, then you shouldn't have made promises. This is not the first time she has had her episodes, but this is definitely the most severe. There'll be many more times in the next few decades.

"Can you handle it? Can you endure it? You're not a patient person to begin with. You've been accommodating and enduring just because you're in the honeymoon phase with Lauren!

"But 10 or 20 years from now, when your love and patience have worn thin, will you still take care of Lauren with the same dedication? Will you still kneel down and comfort her like you did today?"

"I can! Why wouldn't I?" Landon's voice was hoarse as he shouted at Alyssa. "Lyse, I know I'm not a good person. I know I haven't done enough for Lauren, but you shouldn't doubt my love for her! You shouldn't insult me with these doubts!"

"Enough, Landon!" Jasper quickly stepped forward to shield Alyssa, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. He fixed his deep gaze on Landon. "Lyse didn't mean it that way. She's just worried about Lauren. No one in the Beckett family has ever been truly dedicated to Lauren, including me.

"The only person who has accompanied and cared for Lauren is Lyse. Seeing Lauren in so much pain makes her feel worse than you. She's being harsh because she cares."
