"Oh? Hey, Jasper." A look of surprise flashed across Justin's face. He was still holding up the bowl in his hand.
Jasper snapped back to his senses. In a low voice, he responded, "Hey, Justin."
"Since Jasper's here, it won't be appropriate for me to stay." Justin placed the bowl down gently and gave Alyssa a caring smile. "Ms. Alyssa, remember to eat and rest up well. I shall not stand in the way. See you."
"That's alright!" Without warning, Alyssa grabbed onto Justin's arm. She forced herself to hold back her tears and appear indifferent. "Leave after I finish the soup."
"But…"
"Even though Mr. Jasper is here, I don't feel it's inappropriate for you to stay, Justin."
Suddenly, Alyssa glanced over at Jasper, who was standing straight over there. She curled her lips upward into a smile he hadn't seen in a long time, stimulating his senses.
"Mr. Jasper, you don't feel that it's inappropriate in any way for you to meet with your own brother, do you?"
Jasper uttered, "Not at all."
Alyssa smiled. "That's good to know."
They used to be a couple who loved one another so passionately and deeply with their souls. Yet, they were even more distant than estranged spouses at this very moment.
Jasper's chest rose and fell slightly. He walked to Alyssa and presented the bouquet of lilies to her with both hands. He had an expressionless look on his face.
In a deep voice, he said, "Grandpa asked me to come visit you."
Alyssa lowered her eyes as she accepted the bouquet from him.
To his surprise, in the next second, she hurled the flowers to his feet. She widened her eyes in anger and yelled, "Get out!"
Jasper clenched his teeth tightly. He remained silent.
Justin's pupils constricted a little. He bent forward and was about to pick up the flowers when he heard Alyssa's cold voice.
"Take your flowers and get out of my sight… Right now!"

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...
