Chapter 192
Newton’s suggestion had Javier’s and Sophia’s faces falling flat on the table. Betty, on the other hand, nearly spat out her drink.
‘Don’t joke about these things, Grandpa Jasper said sternly.
Winston was just as stunned as everyone else.
“You have three daughters, if I remember correctly?” Newlon asked, to which Winston nodded.
“Yes, three. I have a total of nine children. They’re enough for me for a lifetime now.”
“Ah, and are those three married yet?”
Winston replied awkwardly. “My sixth child, Miley, has already married. She’s currently overseas. My youngest, Tatiana, is still in school. I don’t want her to marry just yet. Let her enjoy her youth and whatnot.”
“What about your third girl, the one you dole on? What was her name again? Al–something?”
Winston’s gaze turned gentle at the thought of his favorite daughter. “That’s my eighth child, Alyssa.”
Jasper felt something like thunder hit him. His grip on his wineglass nearly slipped.
“Right! Alyssa! I remember seeing her years ago. She was such a sweet, happy child.” Newton grinned. “She should be around twenty–four now, right? Any marriage prospects yet?”
“No
“What would you say if she marries my grandson, Jasper?”
Winston blinked rapidly, silently cursing out the old man for being so dense as to not be able to tell he didn’t want his beloved daughter
anywhere close to Javier’s son.
How could he dare to presume Alyssa was good enough for them?
“I’m already engaged, Grandpa,” Jasper spoke up, gritting his teeth at the thought of Alyssa Taylor. “Even if I were single, Ms. Alyssa and I
would never work out.”
Newton was about to reply when Winston cut in. “I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean, Jasper. Is Alyssa not good enough for you?
She’s my most beloved child. I wouldn’t even let a prince near her if he didn’t get my approval. Where do you get the courage to deny her
outright? It’s a bit prudish, no?”
Winston would’ve used far worse language if Newton hadn’t been here.
How could this boy dare to insult his daughter?
“I agree that Ms. Alyssa is an incredibly skilled and competent businesswoman. We’ve crossed paths before, and I have witnessed firsthand the incredible feals she has done, the strategies she has implemented.” Jasper explained, meeting Winston’s gaze.
He continued, “We just have clashing personalities. Being together would create more conflict than necessary. But I do look forward to the day we finally meet, where I hope to work together with her, business–wise.”
Not bad, Winston thought. The kid knew just what to say.
“What do you mean “linally meet? Let’s arrange a time right now for you two to meet. Who knows, you might find it easier to get along than previously thought!” Newton cried, happily clapping the table.
Jasper’s expression had turned stormy. His grandfather was really doing everything he could to stop his marriage with Liana from coming
to fruition.
Just as he was about to state his refusal, Sophia cried out, “Dad, isn’t this too outrageous a suggestion? Jasper is about to marry Liana!
“About to,” so they’re not married yet.” Newton met her eyes with a firm grin. “Marriage is akin to a contractual agreement most of the time. Before this agreement is signed and witnessed, it is still subject to variables, including termination!”
“But news of their engagement has already gone out, Dad. What would the public think of Ms. Alyssa if you were to play matchmaker now?

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
You upload shows 5/21/24 01:20, but I read these chapters 5/20/24 9:26. you can't go back with time only forward...
Come on more chapters or give me information to purchase the book. Last read these chapters yester 5/16 at 21.35. What the hell don't have to spoon feed us....
Time for this story to end it's getting boring and it's too long...
