Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2313

The sky was gray as freezing rain fell in the midst of the wind and snow, making Alyssa's heart feel even heavier.

An hour later, Newton's car came to a stop at a cemetery in the western suburbs.

The car door opened, and Ben, holding an umbrella, helped the faltering Newton out. Newton chose not to use his wheelchair and instead walked slowly into the cemetery.

"Miss Alyssa, this cemetery isn't considered expensive. It's where commoners are buried. Given Mr. Beckett Senior's family background, could he possibly have friends among ordinary people?" Sean asked, watching Newton with a perplexed expression. "Who could Mr. Beckett Senior be visiting in this terrible weather? He's not even using his wheelchair. It's making me really curious."

Alyssa stared out the window with a gloomy gaze. After some hesitation, she opened the door, got out, and quietly followed behind them, careful not to be noticed.

After a while, she saw Newton and Ben stop in front of a gravestone. They bowed deeply and placed a bouquet of white daisies they had prepared.

Due to the distance, Alyssa couldn't make out the name or picture on the gravestone.

People typically visited the cemetery at dawn or in the morning. Yet Newton chose to drop by in the afternoon, which was somewhat unusual.

"Mr. Newton, it's so cold out here. Your lungs can't handle this weather. Let's leave," Ben said with concern, taking off his coat and draping it over Newton.

Newton coughed. "I'm fine."

Staring at the bright smile of the woman on the gravestone, Newton was filled with regret. In a hoarse voice, he whispered, "She was such a good person. I was the one who wronged her... Our family wronged her. I don't even know if I'll make it to this time next year. Just let me stay with her a little longer."

Alyssa's heart ached as she overheard Newton's words from where she hid behind a tree.

Before she could process what she had heard, a plain-looking woman with white hair stormed up to Newton, her eyes bloodshot with anger. "It's you! How dare you... How dare you come here to visit my daughter?"

Ben quickly stepped forward, shielding Newton, but Newton gently pushed him aside.

Alyssa's heart raced as she watched the scene unfold.

"Ms. Rollins, I've been deeply sorry for your daughter's death all these years. When Millie worked with the Beckett family, she was dedicated, hardworking, capable, and smart. We all liked her very much," Newton said with deep coughs, stepping forward with regret etched across his face.

"Our family is responsible for that accident. I've never forgotten about Millie." His voice softened further as he bowed deeply. "Please let me apologize again. I'm so sorry."

With a trembling body, Newton bowed deeply to Esther Rollins.
