Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2158

Jameson had witnessed brutal fights and seen the darkest aspects of humanity right here in Kontina. Without these experiences, he might never have realized that the country's picturesque landscapes masked the dangers of a ruthless, dog-eat-dog world.

Had things been different, he might have considered this place his true home, where he could have run a regular business and lived peacefully with his mother, Lily.

Today was a rainy day. Holding a black umbrella, Jameson arrived alone at Rose Nursing Home to visit Lily.

Across Kontina, every place he had invested in or had financial influence bore the name "rose". It was his way of reassuring himself and keeping the memory of his distant love alive.

"How are you feeling today, Mom?"

Lily sat under the awning, staring blankly at the falling rain. Jameson gently held her hand as he sat beside her.

Her hands were just skin and bones, devoid of vitality.

With her mouth slightly agape, Lily's expression appeared blank. She didn't seem to have heard what Jameson said.

"I'm Jimmy, Mom. Do you still recognize me?" Jameson reminded her of who he was tirelessly.

"J-J-Jimmy… Jimmy!"

There were brief moments each day when Lily seemed more energetic, though her mind remained clouded.

"Jimmy, where's Lyse? It's been a while since she came over to play. Why is that? You two mustn't quarrel. You don't make friends easily, and it wasn't easy to befriend someone as nice as Lyse. You need to appreciate her.

"You are a man, so you should always compromise and give in to her... You must stay together for a long time!"

"Soon, Lyse will no longer be my friend, Mom." Jameson gently adjusted Lily's blanket.

With concern in her voice, Lily asked, "Why is that?"

While Lily slept in her room, Jameson stepped out onto the balcony. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and held it between his fingers.

He didn't smoke it. He simply watched the cigarette burn down to its end. Then, he dialed a number.

A moment later, the call was answered. A crisp, charming voice came through the line. "Who's this?"

"It's an incredible feeling to be on the phone with you, Mr. Axel," Jameson remarked, his posture straightening as his eyes narrowed in a relaxed manner.

Suddenly, there was silence on the other end of the line, as if time and space had reached a standstill.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Jameson scoffed softly, "You fell in love with the woman I crafted and groomed. I was the one who brought you two together. Shouldn't you be thanking me for that?

"It's just that you fell in love with a woman who looks like your younger sister. Should I call you perverted or inhuman?"
