Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2408

Sebastian understood what Alyssa wanted.

There wasn't substantial proof to prove that Jasper had abused drugs in the first place. The substance found in his blood was simply supporting evidence.

As long as they found the right opportunity to reveal that, it wouldn't completely exonerate him, but it could at least divert public suspicion.

"Okay, okay… I'll do that. I'll do everything you say!" Sebastian promised.

…

After emerging from the Bender residence, Landon took Zayne away to keep him under close watch and ensure Sebastian wouldn't retract his statement. Landon planned to release him only after Sebastian fulfilled Jasper and Alyssa's request.

"Landon, it's really nice to see you. How's Lauren doing lately?" Afraid of looking at Jasper, Alyssa had no choice but to speak with Landon.

"She's doing great."

A tender look came across Landon's eyes at the mention of Lauren. Landon blushed and continued, "We're now trying for a baby."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Alyssa was genuinely happy for them.

"Yeah, we'll share the good news with you both when it happens," Landon said, excitement lighting his face.

The mood turned awkward in an instant.

Jasper lowered his eyes, saying nothing.

A lump rose at the back of Alyssa's throat. Forcing a smile, she said, "Landon, Mr. Beckett, I'll take my leave now."

Jasper opened his mouth to thank her, but Alyssa moved too quickly. In the blink of an eye, she was gone, her black car vanishing into the night.

"Jasper, I noticed how worried you were for Lyse earlier when you threw your arms around her without hesitation," Landon remarked, studying Jasper's emotionless face. "Be honest—you're still in love with her, aren't you?"

"If you were in her position, I would've shielded you without hesitation too," Jasper replied, fixing his gaze ahead. "Does that mean I'm in love with you?"

Landon frowned and retorted resentfully, "Aren't you?"

Jasper was speechless. "Mr. Harper, that's disturbing."

Landon clicked his tongue. "You jerk. Don't I know you well enough?"

He gave Jasper a gentle shoulder bump. "You're just being stubborn by refusing to admit it. Beware of turning into a mule!"
