Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 752

"Lyse, what's wrong?" Jameson noted the change in Alyssa's expression and asked with concern.

She stated, "I've never blocked Jasper on my phone. Why is his contact in my blocked list?" Her piercing gaze landed on Jameson's innocent face.

"Lyse …"

"Did you do that?" She cut to the chase. "I did not contact anyone except for you tonight. Jasper claimed that he called me throughout the night but couldn't reach me because his number was blocked."

Jameson balled his fists on his knee. There was a glint in his eyes.

She squinted at him and recalled, "I remember that I left my phone when I used the restroom at the restaurant. Did you take the chance to block his number?"

"Lyse, are you suspecting me now?" Jameson stared at her with innocent-looking bright eyes.

"I am not suspecting you. I am merely stating the truth," Alyssa countered harshly.

Jameson felt a weight on his chest that nearly crushed him. He began, "Lyse, I shouldn't have touched your phone, but I didn't want him interrupting our date. Do you know how much I've suffered for today?

"Yes, I am selfish and can never justify my actions. I'm sorry."

"This is your last chance," she declared. After the chain of events that night, she didn't have the mental capacity to fuss over Jameson's action. She added, "What happens between me and Jasper is private. I do not want anyone poking their noses into our affairs.

"I did not block his contact when we divorced. Even now, I do not want to pull off such a vile and childish act to cut him off. After all, we might come across each other in business partnerships.

He continued, "Lyse, let's give it a go. Try dating me. Give me a chance to treat you right."

She pressed her lips speechlessly. "A relationship is not an online purchase. There's no free return policy within a week of purchase."

"You don't have to do anything. I'll love you and protect you," Jameson said. He placed his non-injured hand on the car window above her head. His eyes were filled with tenderness that could drown her.

He professed, "I will always be there for you. If you think I'm worth dating, I'll be there when you're ready."

"Jimmy, thanks for saving me tonight, but please don't ever put yourself in danger," she replied.
