Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1861

"That's true. But Cyrus Taylor is way better than Freddy Hodgson." Rory scoffed. "How dare Freddy Hodgson complain to you in your face? I wonder if he's lost his mind."

The scowl on Javier's face deepened when Rory breached the topic.

Rory added, "Mr. Javier, I think Cyrus is serious about Ms. Lauren. Why don't you call off the engagement to Freddy Hodgson? Marrying Ms. Lauren off to the Taylors is more advantageous for you. I'm sure Mr. Newton would be glad—"

"Firstly, my son wanted to marry Alyssa; now, my daughter wants to marry Cyrus. Are there no other suitors for my children other than the Taylors?" Javier furiously slammed his hand on the armrest.

Rory quickly shut up.

Javier looked out of the window indignantly. Objectively speaking, Mandy's son was much better than Freddy or even Landon. Javier was aware of Freddy's lack of affection for Lauren—the young man merely went along with his family's arrangements.

In comparison, Javier could tell that Cyrus genuinely loved Lauren from the way he stared at her. Alas, if only Cyrus wasn't a Taylor…

A call from Newton interrupted his train of thought. Frustrated, he deliberately delayed answering the call.

Moments later, he finally picked up the call. "Dad, why did you call?"

"Are you free to talk?"

"Go ahead."

"The Hodgsons would like to call off the engagement."
