Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1880

Justin saved Jasper at the cost of destroying his almost perfectly healthy body. If he had done so just to put on a show in front of him, what was his purpose for doing so?

…

Meanwhile, at Crescent Bay, today marked the day Cyrus and Lauren had planned to visit the amusement park for some fun. Cyrus got ready and came over to Crescent Bay early so that he could pick Lauren up.

Much to his surprise, Mandy insisted on coming along with him. She wanted to come and dote on her future daughter-in-law.

It was rare for Mandy and Cyrus to visit Crescent Bay. Thus, Newton came out in person to welcome them. It was his way of showing them his respect.

"Are you Cyrus? You are one fine-looking man!"

Newton couldn't stop beaming when he saw Cyrus. He laughed, "Mrs. Taylor, your son looked exactly like Winston when he was young! I would've recognized him as Winston's son even if you didn't say a word!"

"Jonah, Silas, and Lyse bear even more resemblance to Winston." Mandy smiled warmly.

"My Dad's genes are too strong," Cyrus joked.

"Nice one! I like this chap! He's not reserved at all, just like Winston. "

Newton patted Cyrus on the shoulder. He then looked at Ben. "Ben, let Lauren know that Cyrus is here."

"I'm here, Grandpa."

Lauren trudged down the stairs with her teddy bear in her arms. She greeted Mandy and Cyrus politely, "Hi, Mrs. Taylor. Hi, Cyrus."

She was well-mannered, reflecting the good upbringing that she had as a daughter of a plutocrat.

Mandy rushed forward to hold Lauren's hand. She looked at her adoringly.

No matter how humiliating the rumors were and how much they hurt her, she was unaffected by them. She had the mental clarity to distinguish and the eyes to see that she was a rare treasure. It was the other people who were blind.

Suddenly, Mandy froze. She noticed that Lauren had nothing on her wrists. She hadn't worn the bracelet that she'd given her.

Mandy couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.

Lauren was observant. She quickly explained, "Uh… I wanted to wear it initially. But it was too expensive. I was afraid that I'd break it."

"No worries, my dear."
