The brutality of Newton's words certainly shouldn't be underestimated. He dealt Javier a mighty blow. As Javier's father, Newton was the only one who could give him a dressing-down.
Betty hid behind Javier. She was as timid as a mouse. She didn't even dare to show her face.
Alyssa hurried over to Lauren. She was still in Landon's arms. She said to her softly, "Don't be afraid, Lauren. I'm here. Jasper and Grandpa are here too."
Lauren looked up. Her eyes were already swollen from all the crying. Landon's shirt was also drenched in her tears.
"Alyssa…"
Alyssa teared up at the way Lauren called her name. Her heart ached for her.
Lauren choked back on her tears. She clung to Landon's shirt tightly. "I do not want to be separated from Landon."
At that moment, Landon's heart wrenched. He enveloped her tightly, as if he intended to engulf her with his embrace.
"We're not going to be separated, Lauren. I will not leave you no matter what happens."
Alyssa didn't know what to say at that moment. It broke her heart to see them like that.
Lauren reminded Alyssa of herself. She recalled when Winston grounded her within the confines of their home and how she had leaped out of the window that stormy night, running out like a mad woman to look for Jasper back then.
At that time, Jasper also had her in his arms. She had also uttered the same words over and over. She, too, had said she didn't want to be separated from him.
The only difference was that she was luckier than Lauren.
When Winston spoke harshly, his words often lacked true intent. At the end of the day, he would give in and compromise. He did so because of his love for his daughter, Alyssa.
On the contrary, Javier was a different man. He was selfish. He acted in his own self-interest. Would he really be considerate toward Lauren?

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...
