Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1036

Jasper's heart sank. After multiple exchanges with Jameson, he gained a better understanding of Jameson's character than Alyssa.

Unlike Alyssa, he had no lingering sentiment for Jameson from childhood. He knew Jameson was a vindictive man and a ruthless one at that. In other words, Jameson was petty and extreme in his revenge.

"A relationship devoid of integrity is inherently meaningless," Jonah expressed, showing his concern for Alyssa. "The idea of you with Jameson filled me with worry because he has no principles and would do anything to get his way.

"Who knows if he'd do the same to you? Lyse, you're my beloved sister. I cannot risk letting you date a problematic man."

Alyssa teared up at Jonah's genuine brotherly love for her. "Jonah …"

He gently stroked her hair and turned to address Jasper, "Mr. Beckett, why didn't you tell me it was Jameson Schmidt's doing when we were on Shelland Island? If you had done so, we could have found a way to exploit his weakness."

With a long sigh, Jasper explained bitterly, "I might despise Jameson, but I cannot point a finger at him without solid evidence. Speculation remains just that—a speculation."

His reply stirred up some inexplicable emotions in Jonah, who developed a newfound respect for Jasper's morals. This was the reason he always believed Jasper was a better man than Jameson, despite Jameson's best efforts to win Alyssa over.

Jameson might appear gentlemanly and capable on the outside, but he was rotten and evil within. Jasper might have his faults, but he was principled.

"Besides, Jameson is an important friend of Alyssa's," Jasper added without delving further.

Feeling pained, Alyssa wondered, "Did you keep your suspicions to yourself because you didn't want to upset me?"

Alyssa and Jasper sat side-by-side, leaning against each other. He pinched her soft and warm hand, feeling an electric charge passing through his body.

All of a sudden, he furrowed his brows as he noticed something odd with the joint of her pinky finger.

He asked, "Lyse, what's wrong with your pinky finger? Was it injured before?"

She held her breath and quivered in his embrace. Confused by her response, he panicked, wondering, "What's the problem, Lyse?"

Meanwhile, Alyssa contemplated if she should tell him the truth. She wondered if she should tell him that she was that woman who fought off the enemies with him. Should she also let him know that she lost functionality in a finger because she had dragged his severely injured body back to the barracks?
