Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Alyssa’s mind was clouded, and she even mistook Jasper for her brother. She choked and cried, ” Why doesn’t Jasper like me? Why …”

Jasper’s heart skipped a beat, his thin lips tightly pressed together as he listened to her lament.

“I tried so hard. I really tried. But it seems the harder I tried, the more he disliked me. Why is that?

Tell me!”

Suddenly, she turned around and clung to Jasper while sobbing heavily in his chest. Her tears, running nose, and makeup smeared his clean shirt.

He stood rooted to the ground, his throat tightening as he felt her scorching tears searing into his chest and saturating his heart.

After a while, his voice deepened as he asked, “Do you really love Jasper?”

Alyssa raised her tear–stained face, her cherry lips slightly parted.

Jasper gulped as he struggled against the strong temptation of pure desire. He regretted asking that question.

So what if she loved him? So what if she didn’t? Their divorce was a done deal, and his life partner could only be Liana.

With a loud bang, the restroom door was kicked open.

“Jasper! How can you be so shameless? Can’t you be satisfied with what you have?”

Silas‘ eyes turned red with anger. Striding into the restroom, he pulled Alyssa into his arms and protected her like an mother hen guarding its chick.

Jasper’s elegant eyebrows furrowed tightly, and the fact that Silas, who usually carried himself with grace, was furious to this extent showed how much he cared about his ex–wife.

He felt somewhat suffocated.

“Mr. Jonah, she has a low alcohol tolerance and vomited heavily just now. If you truly care about her, you shouldn’t have brought her to a place like this.”

Silas was about to retort, but hearing Jasper addressing him as Jonah, he decided to play along and assumed the role of Jonah. “I’ll accompany my woman to do whatever she wants to. If she likes to have fun, I’ll have fun with her. Jasper, you and Alice are divorced. Stop sticking your

nose into her business. Go back and take care of Ms. Gardner!”

With that, Silas helped Alyssa walk toward the exit, but Jasper stopped him.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

“Do you really love her?” Jasper asked in a low voice.

“If it weren’t for you, I would have definitely beaten Dylan to a pulp tonight. Using drugs is bad enough, but he even dared to make advances on my crush. He’s asking for death.”

“You don’t have to be considerate. Liana and her brother are separate individuals.” Suddenly, realization dawned on Jasper, and his brows furrowed slightly. “Crush? What do

you mean?”

“I thought I might as well take Alice since you don’t want her anymore. Since you gave up on her I’ll gladly step in.” Landon raised an eyebrow and smirked as he continued, “She’s going to become like your sister–in–law. I wonder if you can adapt to that.”

“The divorce isn’t even finalized yet, and you’re already eager to claim her as yours?” Jasper’s eyes darkened, and his lips curled up into a cold smile.

“Well, you’ve already signed the divorce agreement, so it’s just a matter of time.”

“I don’t know about anything else,” Jasper clenched his fingers, and his face darkened, “but your

death is not far off.”
