Justin abstained from alcohol, drinking only the finest tea as he chatted with Javier and Jasper. They discussed everything from Mosgravia's climate to its cultural customs.
Newton only occasionally interjected, maintaining a calm demeanor. He was neither overly affectionate nor distant toward Justin.
"Lauren is blessed. Once this ordeal is over, it will be smooth sailing from here on out."
Justin asked with concern, "Mr. Landon seems deeply attached to Lauren. From what I saw today, are they about to get married?"
"Once Lauren recovers, I plan to arrange their marriage," Javier replied. The thought of marrying off his daughter filled him with both relief and a hint of reluctance.
"That's wonderful. Lauren and Mr. Landon make a perfect couple. I'll be sure to prepare a generous gift for their wedding day."
"Justin, the gift you brought for Lauren this time is already quite valuable. It's more than enough as a dowry. There's no need to spend more." Javier chuckled.
"That's not enough." Justin smiled gently. "She's your only daughter and my only sister. We must cherish her twice as much.
"I've been living alone in Mosgravia these past years and haven't fulfilled my duties as a brother. Now that my physical condition has improved, I want to do everything I can for my siblings; that way, I can find some peace of mind."
Touched, Javier's eyes welled up. "I'm really happy for you to say that, Justin."
"Justin, the gifts you brought today truly opened my eyes," Newton chimed in with a smile, changing the subject. "It seems you've been living quite comfortably in Mosgravia. Just the gifts you brought today alone probably exceed your annual dividends from Beckett Group, right?"
Jasper secretly glanced at Newton and silently gave him a thumbs-up in his mind.
"I've put the annual dividends from Beckett Group into starting a few small businesses in Mosgravia and making some investments. I've had some lucky breaks and made a bit of money," Justin replied modestly.

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...
