Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1573

Jasper said, "Your family is all inside..."

"So? Do I have to join them? Will squeezing in get me some reward?" Axel tilted his head and narrowed his eyes.

Looking at his mischievous expression, Jasper smiled faintly.

Despite Axel's tough demeanor, the faint redness at the corners of his eyes betrayed his concern for Winston.

A voice called out urgently, "Axel!"

Liam had rushed back from Leichtown overnight. He was still in his military uniform.

"Liam!" Axel's eyes lit up, and he hurried over.

"How's Dad?" Liam's eyes were red from exhaustion. He was decisive on the battlefield, but now he appeared cautious.

Axel's usually sharp gaze softened as he placed his hand on Liam's shoulder badge. "Don't worry. He has woken up."

"That's good. I'll go in and see Dad."

Liam finally relaxed. Just as he wanted to enter the ward, he noticed Jasper's tall figure standing nearby. His expression darkened at once.

"Why is he here?"

Jasper's throat tightened, his long lashes trembling slightly.

Scratching his head, Axel grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "Who else is going to be here if not him? He follows where his woman goes, of course."

"His woman?"

Liam's tone was icy, devoid of any warmth. "You guys are so easily swayed by him?"

"Liam, I—"

Jasper's Adam's apple bobbed. "I'm pestering her, aren't I? Don't worry. For Lyse, I can be even more shameless than Jameson."

Axel nodded approvingly, his expression saying, "You've got potential."

"I just—"

"It's all in the past." Axel's voice interrupted him, shaking his head.

"In Lyse's journey to find her partner, we can only protect her, not judge her. If she's completely at peace, we have no right to meddle.

"Liam has had his own logic in everything he does since he was young. He's the most stubborn and least receptive to advice. Even Jonah, Silas, and Cyrus together can't sway him.

"Jasper, you may have to prepare yourself for him never forgiving you. Nothing can be perfect, but as long as Winston and Jonah slowly accept you, you've done your duty."

Jasper looked deeply into Axel's eyes, feeling a warmth flooding his heart.
