Tatiana stared at her reflection in the mirror, her face round and full. Discontent gnawed at her. "I… I should stop eating. I'm not having dinner tonight. If Sean sees me like this when he gets home, he won't like me anymore!"
"You don't look like a pig. Look at your slim legs and arms. You're pregnant, so it's perfectly normal for your hips to widen a bit."
Alyssa squeezed Tatiana's arm, her eyes shining with the anticipation of their growing family. She chuckled playfully. "If you go on a diet now, it'll be bad for you and the baby. Besides, even if you lose weight, your belly will just keep growing. What will you look like then?"
Tatiana was confused. "What?"
"You'll have thin limbs and a round bump, just like a beetle!"
Tatiana's face flushed red with embarrassment. "Lyse, you…"
"Alright, alright. I won't tease you anymore." Alyssa gave her a warm hug. "I know looks are important to women, especially for someone in performing arts like you. You've always dreamed of being an actress. I know these coming days will be tough.
"But don't worry. After you give birth, Ms. Thompson and I will help you lose the baby weight. You weren't prone to gaining weight easily before, so I'm sure it'll come off quickly.
"And forget about Sean! He's been swamped in Solana City lately and hasn't had time to see you. But the other day, I saw him looking at the pictures you sent him. He was completely smitten."
"Lyse…" Tatiana felt so embarrassed that she turned as red as a tomato.
"I heard from Lyla that Sean has officially asked Winston for permission to marry you." Alyssa smiled delightedly. "Sean is giving all his possessions to you as your wedding gift. He even gave Winston his payslip. Do you know what Winston said?
"He said nothing comes for free. After he marries you, Winston still has to promote him and give him a raise. At the same time, Winston has to pay your marital expenses too. Winston says that he'll just be losing money on all fronts!"

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...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
