Jameson stared at Alyssa deeply. There was a gleam in his eyes that was so full of yearning.
"If you are the innocent and kind Jimmy that I once knew, I will send my sincerest wishes even without you telling me to do so."
The expression on Alyssa's face was frigid. She remained unwavering. "But right now, I cannot fulfill your request. Even if I forced myself to say it, it would not be sincere. It won't mean anything."
Jameson smiled slightly. He wasn't angered because of this.
"Do you remember the birthday present you gave me when we were young? When my father chased me out of Solana City, I didn't bring anything with me. All I brought to Kontina was the gift that you gave me. Do you remember what you gave me, Lyse?"
Alyssa clenched her hands into tight fists by her sides. She didn't reply.
Of course she still remembered.
"There was one year when the kids at school were into toy car racing. Everyone had them except for me. At that time, I was ostracized and became their laughing stock."
Jameson's voice was gentle and pleasing to the ear. There was a twinkle in his deep eyes as he reminisced about the joys of his past. "Coincidentally, the toy car you gave me for my birthday that year was the one that I had always wanted. It was red in color. Do you remember it?"
Alyssa's chest tightened. An inexplicable feeling of sadness spread through her chest.
She had never given him gifts for superficial purposes.
She attentively cared for and protected a soft-hearted child whose self-esteem was easily hurt.
"But, I know that it wasn't actually a coincidence. You were just pitying me and showing me compassion."
The fondness that filled Jameson's eyes was a feeling that only belonged to Alyssa alone. "Even so, it still made me really happy. And the reason was you."
"How I treated you wasn't out of pity or compassion. I just hoped for all my friends to be happy." Alyssa's voice was strained as she tried hard to suppress the emotions within her.
"I really wish we could turn back time. It's a pity that that's not possible."
Jameson shook his head. He looked as if a dark cloud had cast a shadow over his pale face.
"That's enough for our catch up. Let's get to the main point." Alyssa's voice was still firm and cold as ice.
"You were the one who set me up, weren't you, Lyse?"
Jameson's smile was still very loving. "That day, it was by chance that you saw me hospitalized. When you used visitation as an excuse to approach me, you have already started to make plans.
"You observed my every move in secret. You also bribed that nurse, Ms. Thompson. You gave her a clean background and planted her by my side.
"Knowing my cautious and suspicious nature, you didn't rush to act. Instead, you had that female nurse bring me my medications on time and dispelled my doubts slowly. Then, yesterday, you switched out my medication and joined hands with Cyrus to arrest me red-handed.
"It's no wonder that you're my beloved, Lyse. Your secret plan was flawless. I really admire you for that."
"What do you mean 'joined hands with Cyrus'? Cyrus is a police officer. It is the right procedure for a police officer to arrest suspects."
Alyssa shot him a cold smile. "Also, slandering KS Group's president is an offense too. Our Legal Department is set up for a reason.

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🙄...
