Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2305

Jasper remained silent. His hands balled into tight fists at his sides, trembling ever so lightly as a dark expression settled over his face.

After a moment of silence, Justin offered a casual smile, ignoring the tension on Jasper's face as he moved past him.

"Justin, I've always respected you since I was young." Jasper's voice broke the silence, hoarse and strained, with his back turned to Justin. "There are things I can compromise on, but some matters, I can't."

Justin, his back still facing Jasper, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Such as?"

"My need to see her now." A fierce determination lit Jasper's darkened eyes. "Justin, I won't deny your feelings for her. It's none of my business. But you have no right to stop me from seeing her either.

"If you and Ms. Alyssa are officially together, I'll never go near her again. You won't even need to say a word. I'll give you both my blessings and wish you a happy life together."

As Jasper said "happy life", his throat tightened, and a bitter taste of bile rose at the back of his mouth. Still, he continued, "But as long as she's not yours, we're equals in her eyes. You can see her, and so can I. If that bothers you, I'm sorry."

The darkness in Justin's eyes hid any trace of emotion on his face. In a cold, detached voice, he asked, "Jasper, do you still have feelings for her? You haven't let go, have you?"

A lump rose in Jasper's throat, and his gaze went blank.

"Jasper," Justin's voice grew deeper, marked by a few dry coughs. "We may not share the same mother, but ask yourself—how have I treated you since we were kids?"

"You've treated me very well," Jasper answered, his breath shallow.

Memories flooded his mind, moments of warmth shared with Justin, four years his senior, a brother who had always been like a father to him.

When Jasper first entered the Beckett family, his life seemed bleak, as he was met with disdain from many. Justin was the first to show him care, standing by him when the household staff mistreated him and offering him a sense of warmth.

Justin was also the one who had put his own life on the line to help Jasper escape that terrifying kidnapping incident. Otherwise, Jasper would have been the one sitting in the wheelchair today, unable to move freely.
