Chapter 662
Lauren looked up and met Alyssa’s gaze with her clear eyes. Despite the silence, Alyssa read Lauren’s
mind just by exchanging looks.
Jasper looked over and comforted Alyssa with a hint of pleading, “This is the first time Lauren’s had a
crush on someone and defended him. Just think of it as Lauren going on a trip. If she’s happy with
Landon, let’s give them a chance.”
“I can tell that Lauren cares about him. I don’t want to get between them. I just-” Alyssa stared into
Jasper’s eyes.
He smiled understandingly. “I know. I get it.” He only reserved this side of himself for her.
He added, “But don’t you forget that Lauren has me too.”
It was a curt and powerful statement. She felt her heart skip a beat and hurriedly looked away.
Jasper had always been taciturn, but each word he spoke carried weight.
All the family members took their seats at Alyssa’s table, except for Winston and Lyla. Jasper insisted on
sitting beside Alyssa, unfazed by the disapproving looks from those around her. He had thick skin, to say
the least.
“Mr. Beckett, you’re seated at the wrong table.” Cyrus spoke his mind as he shot daggers from across the
table, as though he were examining a suspect.
“This table is reserved for my family and our close friends. What are you doing here?”
All eyes at the table turned to Jasper, and a hush fell over them.
Jasper responded with a smirk, meeting Cyrus’s challenge head-on while casting a tender gaze in Alyssa’s direction. He insisted, “I’m exactly where I should be-right beside Lyse.”
Alyssa nearly spat out her drink. She, spun around and glared at Jasper, who looked at ease.
Cyrus muttered under his breath, “That jerk.” Then, he took a sip of water.
“I don’t know the Beckett family’s rules, but we don’t allow animals at the dinner table.” Colene
immediately fired at Jasper, implying that he was a beast.
Colene crossed her legs and leaned backward while drumming her calloused fingers on the table. She
had the air of the daughter of a gang leader.
Jasper frowned silently and clenched his jaw. No one would feel good after being called an animal.
He might be hopelessly in love with Alyssa and desperate to leave a good impression on her family, but that didn’t mean they had the right to insult him.
“Enough now. Since Grandpa is here tonight, let’s get along well and enjoy dinner for his sake.” Alyssa helped Jasper out, thinking that her family was a little harsh on him.
At that moment, Sean called out to Alyssa, drawing her aside and whispering, “Mr. Jameson Schmidt is
here.”
Jasper picked up on that, looking visibly upset.
Alyssa responded flatly, “Oh? I didn’t expect him to join us. Bring him in and seat him at the Schmidts’
table.”
“The situation is somewhat complicated,” Sean informed.
After a pause, he lowered his voice, saying, “Mrs. Schmidt is here with him.”
Alyssa gasped in shock, her eyes widening. “She’s here too?”
Sean confirmed, “Yes, they’re waiting outside the hall. What would you like to do?”
Alyssa immediately followed Sean and left the hall.
Jasper felt a bitter sense of loss after being left behind. He tightened his grip on his glass, almost
crushing it.

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...
