Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1502

In an instant, Landon felt like he had been shot in the heart. The pain caused his sturdy body to tremble.

"Back in the Beckett family, Lauren had no sense of self, and she wasn't happy at all. Now that she's with you, she's become the woman you keep by your side, living life according to your arrangements and preferences. I don't think being too compliant is good for her."

Jasper lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine. "Take a few days apart from each other to calm down. It's a chance to think about the future of your relationship and how you want to proceed."

Landon laughed bitterly. "You couldn't, could you? Losing Alyssa would kill you, wouldn't it? Well, it's the same for me. What's the fucking point of me living if I lose Lauren?

"When you said I should reconsider this relationship and take Lauren away from me... you're killing me. Not only that, you're scattering my ashes!"

Jasper's eyes darkened. His worry and anxiety at this moment were as if he were choosing a son-in-law for his daughter. "She can't endure what ordinary people can, and she can't withstand what ordinary people can bear.
