Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 984

Chapter 984 

Ben wondered, “But you saw it just now, didn’t you? Mr. Javier still sided with Sophia. Maybe he hasn’t-” 

“Hmph. No. What he did was to protect his ego. No one knows my son better than myself.” Newton leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes. “Now, it’s only a matter of time before he gives up on Sophia. Reminding him of his love for Anne might push him in the right direction. After all, the dead usually carries more impact than the living. Learning about the truth will make him regret the past.” 

As the luxury car headed toward Seaview Manor, Javier sat in the seat, gripping the box tightly and bracing himself before opening it. The box had two layers. The first layer stored a tidy array of velvet pouches. With each pouch Javier opened, his heartache deepened. 

He saw the diamond ring he bought for the proposal. The diamond. might have been considered tiny by today’s standards, but it was a big deal 30 years ago. 

The emerald bracelet was his birthday gift to Anne, which he had. carefully selected. He remembered her birthday and all their 

anniversaries. Regretfully, he was unwilling to remind himself of her death anniversary. 

Taking a deep breath, he checked out the second drawer in the box, only to find a stack of old and faded photos. 

Hands shaking, he looked through the photos. When he was done, his eyes were brimming with tears, and his ears were ringing from the shock.

He was reminded of Anne’s love for photography. She loved taking walks in Seaview Manor and snapping away. He always wondered what she had captured, and he finally found the answer. 

He was the only subject under her camera lens. Behind the photos, she scribbled down heartfelt sentiments that she couldn’t express to him. 

She wrote, “I miss you in the silent hour when shadows stretch thin and long; in the startled bird’s lonely cry, its mournful song echoed.” “Before I knew it, I could not bear to be separated from you. Perhaps this is why they say that the woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam.” 

“Javier, I hope you don’t mind my humble background, my 

problematic past, and my clumsy way of expressing my love. I know my love is nothing special for you compared to all the shiny things you possess, but it is all I can afford to give you. I love you so much.”
