Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1800

"Lyse!" Jasper became alarmed.

Landon was such a tall man. At this moment, his body was leaning forward feebly as Alyssa yanked at him. It was as if he had no backbone and was going to break into pieces at any moment.

"Landon… You didn't give Lauren any freedom. You said that that was to protect her… And, what was the end result? You ended up ruining everything anyway! You didn't even manage to ensure her basic physical safety!"

Tears welled up in Alyssa's eyes. She was furious and saddened at the same time. "You think that you are a great man who's willing to sacrifice your all for Lauren. But have you lost anything at all? All these while, Lauren was the only one who kept giving!"

Jasper held his breath. He saw that Alyssa was standing in the rain, so he decided to give up on the umbrella and join her.

One was the love of his life. The other was his brother from another mother.

He couldn't bring himself to take a side, so he decided that it was best for him to remain neutral.

"It was Lauren who sacrificed her freedom. She put her reputation at stake to be together with you even though she could've chosen to be our sister. She could have been that younger sister who never aged and never had to lift a finger!

"But she chose to follow you during her prime years and give her everything for you. She chose to grow up quickly for your sake. For your sake… she learned how to be a good wife!"

Without her even realizing it, Alyssa's face was already covered in tears while she rebuked Landon.

"She has tried her hardest to cater to you and to compromise… She has already done everything she could to avoid causing you any trouble!

"But ultimately… At the end of the day, why was this the outcome? What did Lauren do wrong? Why did she deserve to be tormented in this way?"

Alyssa's queries pierced through Landon's heart. In a second, Landon felt like infinite cracks had formed in his aching heart.

His lips were trembling. He opened his mouth to speak but was unable to form a complete sentence despite trying his best. "It was my bad… It was all me."

He apologized again and again. His tears mixed with the raindrops on his face.

Gone was the vibrant spark that once flickered in his eyes, now hidden beneath a curtain of wet, tangled strands.

Landon was someone who was uniquely exuberant in all of Solana City. At this point, he was so crestfallen that Jasper could barely recognize him.
