Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1356

It was afternoon when Alyssa woke up the next day. She might be sleepy, but Jasper, a light sleeper, had woken up after a few hours of sleep.

Even after he woke up, he did not leave the room at all. Instead, he worked remotely on the couch, handling the group's affairs and guarding by her side.

"Ah—" Suddenly, Alyssa jerked awake and shot up in bed. Jasper immediately put down his work and went up to hug her. He asked gently, "What's wrong, Lyse? Was it a nightmare?"

She patted herself on the chest. Then, she grabbed his hand with a flushed face. "Jasper, guess what was in my dream?"

He swallowed hard and attempted to kiss her, but she shunned him and exclaimed, "Jonah and Julien got married in my dreams!"

"Hmm?" Jasper stared at her in surprise. She added, "Our entire family was at the wedding. And I caught Julien's bouquet!"

Jasper looked pretty speechless.

"I woke up right as they were about to kiss. Damn it! Why do I have to wake up at the most important time?" She slid her fingers through her hair in regret as her heart raced.

"Lyse, you're adorable." He warped an arm around her shoulders and tapped her on the forehead. "What's going on in that mind of yours?"

"I was too tired and fell asleep last night after I got home. I had so much to tell you." She gulped and stared nervously into his eyes. "I have a feeling that Julien is interested in Jonah. And Jonah doesn't seem to mind it at all.

Hearing that, she shook her head. "I'm more worried that Winston might struggle with the truth. Winston reluctantly accepted Jonah when Jonah said he wouldn't get married or have kids because of his faith. But what if Jonah turned out to be gay?"

She then added, "Gosh, what am I thinking? Even if Jonah is gay, Winston will come to terms with it one day. After all, didn't he come to accept you as well?"

Jasper wondered if he should feel sad or glad at her remark.

Mrs. Rosie interrupted them at that moment from outside the room, "Mr. Beckett, Madam Alyssa, are you both up? Come have lunch before you go back to sleep. You'll sleep better when you're full."

An awkward expression flashed across Jasper's face. Similarly, Alyssa clutched the blanket in embarrassment, thinking, "Oh, Mrs. Rosie, you underestimated Jasper Beckett. He's the most energetic when he's starved; he would totally devour me in bed!"
