Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1324

Alyssa burst out laughing. She put the apron over Jasper's neck and then tied it around his waist.

"Well, I have to say that Lyla has been feeding my dad well all these years. He has become an extremely picky gourmand."

Jasper gulped, then took a deep breath.

"But don't you worry. I will be here to guide you. You just have to follow my instructions, and you won't be too far off."

Tenderness filled Jasper's eyes. He pulled Alyssa in for an embrace and planted a loving kiss on her forehead. "Yes, ma'am!"

…

"No! You've got the sequence wrong! You should've put the meat in first! "

"Oh, no! That's too much vinegar!"

"Oh, my! It's burning! You've got to flip it!"

Jasper and Alyssa were making a racket in the kitchen, giving the impression that they were creating chaos.

Initially, Winston sat in the living room with his eyes shut and resting. When he heard the commotion, he couldn't help but peer at the kitchen.

The kitchen on the ground floor of the manor had an open concept. Although it was a short distance from the living room, Winston could still get a look at the situation there.

Jasper's movements were hectic. Alyssa was giving him instructions by the side. She'd even give him a cheeky bump with her butt or flick his forehead from time to time.

Jasper showed no sign of losing his patience at all. Not only that, he kept looking at Alyssa and smiling from ear to ear.

He looked so much like a fool.

Winston couldn't understand what Alyssa saw in him.

Even though Winston's expression still overflowed with resentment, the look in his eyes had gradually become softer. He couldn't turn his eyes away from the pair of lovers.

All of a sudden, a phrase came to mind—life's simple pleasures.

This sort of relaxed environment and simple joys were what he had always been chasing after.

"Look at Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Taylor. She looks so happy. It's been a while since you've seen her smile like that, right?" Neil stood beside him. A warm smile spread across his face.

Winston harrumphed. He mumbled angrily, "How did an outstanding man like myself end up with such a hopeless romantic like her? She will be miserable in the future!"

Neil smiled and urged, "Let her be a hopeless romantic. Ms. Alyssa is stunning and intelligent. There is nothing that she can't get. This is tens of billions of assets. She wouldn't be able to spend it all even if she threw money off the roof of KS Group's building.

After a while, he suddenly asked, "Have I been that terrible, Neil?

"Previously, I kept trying to push Lyse to be together with Jameson. That was because she was still young and didn't understand the essence of marriage. Compatibility is far more important than feelings.

"Jameson is more considerate than Jasper. He is also better than Jasper at coaxing Lyse. For now, she may not feel like there is anything wrong with being with that blockhead.

"However, marriage means spending decades of her life with that person. The cruel side of marriage will emerge after the passion dies down.

"Would she be able to take it when that time comes? Is she certain that she will not regret it? I only wish for Lyse to keep her options open and consider others. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Neil listened to him patiently. He pondered before replying earnestly, "Every parent wants what's best for their child. You do have the right intentions. That being said, I do have a different perspective on one of the things you said.

"You said that feelings are not as important as compatibility. But I feel that character is far more important than compatibility.

"I am not very familiar with Mr. Jameson, so it is not my place to comment. One thing I will say, though, is that he was the one who intentionally revealed Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett's whereabouts to you. You should very well know what his motives were.

"Since he fancies Ms. Alyssa, he should compete fair and square with Mr. Beckett. Instead, he used you to pressure Mr. Beckett. I think that that was not a very honorable thing to do."

Winston was very taken aback upon hearing those words.
