The sky was dark as rain drizzled from the heaven above. It was the perfect weather to pay respects to one's loved ones at the cemetery.
Alyssa and Jasper had come to pay respects to Anne again. They had brought flowers and hurriedly cleaned the gravestone up as if planning to have a meal with Jasper's mother.
Though Anne had long passed away, she must not be lonely now that Alyssa and Jasper tended to her grave and missed her so.
"Lyse and I have gotten revenge for you, Mom. Sophia's been sentenced to death. 20 years… it's finally over." Jasper clasped Alyssa's hand tightly. "Retribution will always come in time. I hope you can finally be at peace now."
The two then bowed respectfully to the gravestone.
Just then, steady footsteps rang out from nearby.
"It's Grandpa!" Alyssa turned over excitedly.
Jasper's pupils dilated in surprise.
Newton was pushed over by Ben in his wheelchair, not far away. There was a bouquet of white lilies in Newton's lap—Anne's favorite. When Anne was alive, Seaview Manor was adorned with white lilies—each stalk tenderly tended by her.
Even Anne's father-in-law, Newton, knew lilies were her favorite, yet her own husband, Javier, did not.
How ironic.
"Let me help you up, Mr. Beckett," Ben offered.
He was about to help Newton when the latter pushed himself up using his wheelchair armrests.
Alyssa and Jasper were taken aback. They sighed in relief once they saw Newton standing steady on his feet.
Newton walked over to them with the bouquet in his hands. He gazed kindly at Jasper and asked, "I hope you don't mind me paying your mother a visit?"
Jasper shook his head gently, his breath catching in his throat.
Heartfelt tears filled Alyssa's eyes as her lips drew into a smile.
Newton's health was not what it used to be in the past few years. He was almost always in his wheelchair, even when he had to attend an important event. Yet right now, he was standing up on his own two feet, all to pay Anne his respects.

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...
