Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 605

Feeling touched, Alyssa kneeled in front of Lily on one knee and flashed a brilliant smile. "Don't worry! I'll be a good friend to Jimmy."

…

Jameson took off his jacket and strode to the kitchen in his white shirt and gray vest. Alyssa, though a guest, felt uneasy about having him cook for her. Hence, she followed him into the kitchen.

"I'll lend you a hand. You don't even have a chef. It would take ages to prepare the dishes," Alyssa softly suggested, her eyes fixed on the exquisite ingredients laid out on the table. She couldn't resist the urge to start cooking herself and began rolling up her sleeves.

"No worries. Everything's ready to go. The seafood dishes will be ready in no time," Jameson reassured her, a concerned look in his eyes.

"Lyse, I remember you're allergic to smoke. It's quite oily and smoky in the kitchen. Why don't you join my mom in the living room for a chat instead?"

A surprised expression crossed her face as she tensed up. She stammered, "H-How did you know about my allergy?"

"Remember when Uncle Winston brought you to our house and Josh insisted on having grilled meat? So the maids set up a barbecue in the backyard." Jameson fondly recalled, a chuckle escaping him.

"When the smoke wafted over, Uncle Winston quickly whisked you away, mentioning your allergy. I can still picture the way he tensed up, like he was in the midst of a battle. He even scolded my dad over it," Jameson reminisced.

"You mean the world to your dad, Lyse."

Alyssa stared at him blankly with bitterness that turned into tears. Despite her best efforts, her eyes brimmed with tears.

She had played a dutiful wife to Jasper for three years, but he had never known she was allergic to smoke. In contrast, Jameson remembered the small detail from a decade ago.

"It's alright. I'll help you," she replied, standing by his side in front of the sink. She lowered her head and deftly prepared the fresh ingredients.
