Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1374

Alyssa pouted and muttered, "Why did you do that? If Mrs. Rosie were to see us… How embarrassing would that be?"

"I didn't want you to jump into the sea in the south. So, I was just trying to calm you down."

Jasper found it difficult to slow his breathing. In a hoarse voice, he asked, "Do you feel better now?"

"I'm okay but I still feel very wronged. I feel suffocated." Deep down, she was troubled. Her eyes watered and she sniffled.

Her pitiful expression made Jasper's heart melt.

He cupped her reddish cheeks. He felt the warmth from her cheeks on his palms. "Look at you. Your cheeks are burning like you're running a temperature.

"You and Taty have always had a good relationship. It's not worth it for you both to get mad at each other because of that bastard from the Schmidt family. Don't be angry, alright?"

"How could I be angry at Taty?"

Dispirited, Alyssa lowered her eyes. "It's more like I'm mad at myself. I wasn't able to take David down for good. He ended up having a chance to revive himself. It was all because I hadn't defeated him completely. There's no one else but myself to blame."

Jasper's heart was pained. He frowned. He comforted, "Don't say that, Lyse. That's got nothing to do with you."

"Taty said that I was being selfish… She's right, I was. I do want to seek justice for those innocent women. At the same time, I want to make sure that my family is safe too.

"Since young, Taty was always under the shelter of Winston and Lyla. As she got older, she only focused on her studies. She hadn't experienced the darkness of this world or the viciousness of human nature.

"She is one of us Taylors. Her noble status can be helpful, but it can also be detrimental to her."

Alyssa was breathing heavily. She felt as if something was clutching her heart, making her heart ache. "There's one thing that she didn't think of. I remember her dream of becoming an actress.

"If she ends up going into the entertainment industry in the future, the assault incident would become a shameful mark on her. She could never ever get rid of it.

"People will only be reminded of this whenever her name is mentioned. Her name will always be associated with David's.

"It's great that you are admitting that you are human."

Jasper sighed. In order to make her relax, he joked, "I've always felt like I am dating a goddess. I'm relieved to know that you are a human being."

Alyssa didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You've really done your best, Lyse. What I've done is nothing compared to the things that you've done."

Alyssa tutted with a slight smile on her face. "What a roundabout way to compliment someone."

Jasper replied quietly, "I have only one role to play when I'm with you—your lover."

Alyssa was acting strong initially. In an instant, her defense broke down, and a wave of emotions gushed. She felt a lump in her throat, and she burst into tears.

Frantically, Jasper wiped her tears for her. She punched him lightly on his chest and cried out, "It's your fault. Why did you trigger me for no good reason? You made me cry!"
