Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1745

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Two striking figures entered. It was Jonah and Julien.

"Dad."

"Mr. Taylor, how are you feeling today?" Julien asked gently, walking beside his beloved man.

Winston glanced at his son, then cast his kindly gaze on Julien's clean and handsome face. He teasingly asked, "Why so distant all of a sudden? Aren't you calling me dad?"

Alyssa and Jasper were both surprised.

Julien, already fair-skinned, blushed all the way to his neck at this tease. He lowered his long lashes in embarrassment.

Seeing his shy reaction, Jonah couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. He directly took Julien's sweaty hand in his, interlocking their fingers tightly.

"Dad, Julien is shy. Don't tease him like that."

Grinning, Alyssa looked at the adorable couple.

Those in love were truly different. Even the aloof, stoic man, who used to be indifferent to worldly affairs, was now fiercely protective.

Winston looked at them inexplicably. His gaze gradually shifted to their tightly clasped hands, and his brow suddenly furrowed.

"Jonah, what's with your fingernails? Why are they so black?"

Jonah was momentarily stunned. He looked down at his fingers and smiled gently. "Julien likes to eat dried nuts. I went out and bought some roasted chestnuts for him yesterday night. I've been peeling them for him. I guess it's from the chestnut shells."

Julien's heart was pounding, and his face was blushing intensely, making him look extremely adorable.

Originally, he was extremely nervous. The Taylor family's eldest son was such a prestigious status. Jonah used to sign important contracts with those hands, but now they were being treated like a pair of pliers. Which parents would be happy about that?

"It's not that. I can't bear to leave you bunch of kids, especially you, you little brat."

Feeling the tingling at his nose, Winston sighed and gently poked Alyssa's forehead. "I don't know how long it'll take for the treatment. After experiencing the feeling of having my buttercup by my side, how can I bear to leave her behind?"

Alyssa's heart surged with bitterness, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Jasper silently walked behind her and gently caressed her back with his warm palm.

He knew she was reluctant, too. She just didn't like to say sentimental and melodramatic words. But in fact, he knew how much she loved her father.

"Dad, I've already handed over all the affairs of KS Group to Lyse. She can officially take over by the end of the month." Jonah's gaze was heavy as he looked at Alyssa. His eyes were filled with expectations.

Winston nodded solemnly, then grasped Alyssa's hand and squeezed it. "Buttercup, can you handle it?"
