Alice had left with Jonah and taken nothing with her, including the 20 million and the villa.
“Where’s Alice? Why isn’t she joining us for dinner?” Jasper’s father, Javier Beckett, asked.
“We’re divorced. The papers are already signed. We will go through the procedures soon and get the divorce certificate.” Jasper looked down as he answered.
Shocked, Javier asked, “Divorce? Why?”
“Javier, I told you Jasper and Alice aren’t a good match. Still, your father forced them to get married.” His wife, Sophia Kirkman, couldn’t help but sigh.
“She’s suffered a lot during these three years. It’s a good thing for them both that she’s finally let go. Now, they can live their own lives. You know that Jasper has always been in love with Lia.”
“Jasper, marriage isn’t child’s play. Moreover, she …”
“Dad, we’ve signed the divorce papers. Alice has also left, and she didn’t take anything with her.” Jasper frowned irritatedly.
“Whoa! That country bumpkin is quite principled.” Jasper’s sister, Betty Beckett, sneered. “Don’t tell me this is one of her tricks. I hope she doesn’t make up rumors that the Becketts mistreated her.”
When Jasper heard this, he became sullen.
“Jasper, I think you’ve acted rashly in this. Your grandfather is still sick. How are you going to explain this to him?” Javier couldn’t hold back his irritation as he was afraid that his father would be outraged by the divorce.
“I will publicly announce my marriage with Liana next month.”
Liana stared at Jasper’s handsome face. The happiness in her eyes was obvious.
“Absolute nonsense! How could you abandon your wife of three years so casually? Your reputation will be tarnished!”
“I never cared about such things. Alice White was never the woman I wanted to marry.” Jasper’s stance was firm, and he didn’t show a hint of regret.
“Uncle Javier, please don’t blame Jasper. If you have to blame someone, then blame it on me.
Liana leaned on Jasper and said, “It was my fault. I shouldn’t have visited. I’ll return to Mosgravia tomorrow morning. Jasper, you should get back together with Alice. I don’t want to be the villain who broke this relationship …”
“Liana, this has nothing to do with you.” Jasper’s gaze was fathomless as he said that.
Then, he took her hand. “There are no feelings between Alice White and me. I’ve endured it for three years, and I’ll never wrong you again.”
…
The night breeze was chilly. Jonah took Alyssa to the lake and boarded a yacht to enjoy the beautiful city nightscape. He hoped this would cheer her up.
“Jonah, are you trying to torment me?”
Alyssa looked at the couples around her. “This is a place for couples to date. I wouldn’t dare to come to such a place even during normal times!”
“Really? You can only blame Silas. He prepared the fireworks here, and they’ll start at eight.” Jonah looked at his watch elegantly. “Five, four, three, two, one.”
With a loud explosion, a huge purple firework ignited the sky.
All the couples nearby gathered at the deck, and many more came to the shore to watch.
“Silas certainly has terrible taste.” Alyssa shook her head but felt happy in her heart.
“Think about the weird gifts you’ve received in the past. He has improved a lot.” Jonah held his sister’s shoulder and gently pulled her into his embrace. “This is not the only gift for you. We’ve all prepared something, and they’re piled up in your room. You are loved by many, so give your love and time to the people worthy of it.”
Alyssa was touched by his words, and she was on the verge of tears.

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...
