Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2104

"Age is catching up with me. I'm getting weak." Newton pouted despondently like a child. "All I did was go and attend my precious granddaughter's wedding, and my body is breaking down. How embarrassing is this?"

"Not at all, Grandpa Newton. You're still a tough man. I'm sure that you'll live a long life." Alyssa held Newton's hand and gave him a gentle squeeze. Her eyes welled up with tears as she felt sorry for him.

She understood that as people aged, their bodies couldn't handle as much. If it weren't for Lauren's wedding, she couldn't have borne to see Newton travel so much.

"Alyssa, this past year, I've felt like my physical body isn't as strong as before. Sometimes, when I fall asleep at night, I can't even be sure if I'll be able to wake up the next morning."

Newton's sincere anticipation filled his eyes. His voice sounded nasally. "I don't have any particular wishes before I die… I just hope that I can attend your wedding ceremony with Jasper."

"Grandpa Newton…" Tears filled Alyssa's eyes.

"Back then, I decided you should be with Jasper. We didn't even have a proper wedding ceremony. It was so unfair to you. Now that your relationship is stable, I hope that I can do my best to make it up to you. I don't want you to have any regrets."

"We will have a wedding, Grandpa Newton." Alyssa smiled and consoled him. "It's just that our family is still going through quite a messy situation. I have just become KS Group's president a short while ago, and my father is still ill. We'll prepare for our wedding once this busy period is over."

"Is it because that dumb brat Jasper hasn't proposed to you even until now?" Newton hammered his fists on the bed angrily. "He's such a dunderhead! What does he think about every day? Why isn't he getting down to business? I will give him a good smack when he comes back!"

"Grandpa Newton, Jasper… He has already proposed to me." Alyssa was afraid that Newton would be enraged, so she told a white lie.

"Really? When?" Newton's eyes lit up.

"When we were in Bernardia."

"I didn't hear anything about it…"

Alyssa giggled. "Why do we have to make it high profile? We can't steal Landon and Lauren's limelight."

"Well, it seemed to me that Jonah's proposal was quite the spectacle. He was more innovative than Lauren's wedding," Newton complained.
