Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1984

If Landon were to hear what Jasper just said, he would probably laugh at him.

"Good-for-nothing!"

"Useless president!"

"Polyandry?"

Alyssa narrowed her eyes at him. She tickled him on his chin with her fingers and tilted his chin up. "Would you be happy with that, Mr. Jasper?"

"No, I won't."

Jasper looked her in the eyes with his fiery gaze. He then gulped. The bob in his Adam's apple was exceptionally sexy. "But I know that I don't deserve it."

If he didn't deserve it, who did?

That said, The Taylors always maintained a level of conservativeness. Although Alyssa's heart was racing, she uttered in a neutral tone, "Also, what are you doing? Is this a proposal?"

Jasper pursed his lips and didn't reply.

"Others would usually have a romantic proposal and an expensive ring. I've never seen anyone hold a brush and a broken one at that." Alyssa put her hand on her hip, making herself look as if she was mad at him.

Jasper clenched his hands into fists. The brush's bristles dug into his palm.

He recalled the time when Alyssa married him in the past. There was no proposal and no wedding ceremony. All she had with her was her luggage when she moved into Seaview Manor quietly.

Even the three-carat wedding ring was just a tool for formality's sake. He didn't put any heart into choosing that ring. Yet, she wore it every day and treated it like a treasure.

He was indebted to her. Time and time again, he was covered by all the debt he owed her.

It was his dream to marry her. However, till today, he couldn't bring himself to say those few words openly—"Alyssa, marry me."

Right at this moment, Alyssa's phone buzzed.

The secret group chat hadn't pinged in quite a long while. Surprisingly, the quietest member, Jonah, broke the silence.

Jonah: "Lyse, I heard that Landon is getting married. Feel free to let us know if there's anything that we can help with."

Alyssa smiled. She typed her reply speedily.

"Looking for three groomsmen. Limited spots available! One chance only!"

Silas: "Why three? Shouldn't it be four? There are exactly four of us. We can fill up four spots."

Axel: "Are you dumb, Silas? That spot is obviously allocated for Jasper. Fill up? I'd like to see if you can fill up four spots yourself."

Silas: "Oh, right, right… I forgot about Jasper. But wait, who are you calling dumb?"

Axel: "Are there any games or trivia for the groomsmen during the wedding, Lyse? With Silas' brain, he'd better not be a groomsman."

Silas: "Just wait and see… Damn it!"

Axel then sent a GIF of a dog sitting on a cat and wagging its tail. It really annoyed him.

Alyssa noticed that Liam hadn't said anything. She tagged him and asked, "Liam, can you attend the wedding?"

Liam: "Of course. I can help out if any help is needed. It's just that I'm not that close with Landon. About being one of his groomsmen, it's a bit…"

Liam held a high position in the military. He also had a huge responsibility on his shoulders. His every move was being watched by countless people in secret.

He also barely had any interaction with Landon. Even with Jasper, they had very minimal interaction.
