Ch. 821..830

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 821-Victor eventually arranged for Jameson to take Alyssa home.

Jasper pushed Newton’s wheelchair toward the parking lot, with Zoe trailing behind like an annoying tag- along.

“How long do you plan to keep following me?” Jasper suddenly stopped. He did not bother to look back while he asked.

Zoe was taken by surprise. She almost collided with Jasper and stumbled awkwardly.

“Ja-Jasper, I want to accompany you in taking Grandpa home.” Zoe tried to look pitiful and said, “Grandpa just got discharged from the hospital.

There must be a lot to take care of. I want to help you…” “Help? What can you do?” Jasper asked bluntly.

Zoe couldn’t find any words to respond.

“I’ve watched you grow up. I’ve seen how Mrs. Harper and your brother protect you. Your hands haven’t even touched a speck of dirt. What can you do?” Jasper retorted without sparing her any dignity.

“Jasper, I …” “Think about what Grandpa needs. You know it in your heart.” Jasper thought of Alyssa. His heart was tightening, and he lowered his gaze.

“If you have that intention, go back and take care of Mr. Cornelius.” With that, he pushed Newton away.

Zoe stood alone, her face turning red with frustration as the wind tousled her hair.

The driver piloted the car home, with Benjamin as the escort, while Jasper occupied the back seat alongside his grandfather.

The car’s interior exuded warmth, yet Newton’s cold expression rendered it akin to an ice cellar.

Jasper knew his grandfather was angry. Yet, the divorce between him and Alyssa persisted as a reality, and their entrenched disagreements remained unsolvable-another undeniable fact.

Despite pouring his heart into pursuing her and risking his life, he found it impossible to earn even a modicum of trust from her.

While he was unafraid of making one-sided sacrifices, the absence of trust from her troubled him deeply.

Upon reaching the villa in Crescent Bay, Jasper alighted from the car and aided Ben in readying the wheelchair. He intended to assist Newton in settling into the wheelchair.

“I won’t use a wheelchair. I’m not disabled. Why should I use a wheelchair?” Newton impatiently pulled Jasper aside and instructed Ben, “Ben, get my cane.” Soon, Ben brought the cane over.

Newton took the cane, tightly pressed his lips together, and swung his arm at Jasper’s back without uttering a word!

Newton’s sudden action startled Ben so much that he was left speechless.

A resounding thud echoed as Jasper winced, feeling a dull ache spread across his back, and he furrowed his brow.

“You ungrateful brat! What has gotten into you? Why are you still alive? Just die!” Newton was consumed by anger. Unable to contain his rage, he swung his cane at Jasper once more.

“She is such a good girl, and you had to ruin the marriage. Why did you say those things? Why did you push her away? Is your brain clogged with shit?” In the cold moonlight, Jasper’s handsome face took on a particularly icy and lonely appearance. He gritted his teeth, enduring his grandfather’s harsh reprimands.

“Are you blind? Can’t you see how much the Schmidt guy cares about Alice?

Can’t you see they’re growing close? Can’t you see Victor wants Alice as his daughter-in-law?” Newton barraged him with rhetorical questions, teetering on the brink of erupting into expletives.

“Your connection with that girl from the Harper family is ambiguous. Even if you’re innocent, you should go all out to explain to Alice to prove your sincerity!”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 822-“At times like these, you should hold on to Alice’s hand! Despite the rumors or turmoil the Harper family stirred, you mustn’t let go of her hand!” Jasper was against the idea of letting that occur, and he was also not inclined to stand by and observe Alyssa being with Jameson without the capacity to intervene.

“Grandpa, I did say those things, and I did do those things. You can hit me.” Jasper tightened his fists, his eyes turning red.

“Hit me and scold me as much as you want, then rest early. It’s time to let go of everything between me and Alyssa.” “Let go? You want me to let go? Then what about you? Are you going to marry that improper girl from the Harper family?” Newton’s head buzzed with anger, and only with Ben’s support did he manage to stand steadily.

“Do I have to get married? I’ve been married once, and that’s enough. I can live without marriage. I have no interest in continuing the family line, nor do I like children.” As Jasper spoke those words, an inexplicable ache gripped his heart with each utterance.

It wasn’t that he held any aversion toward children. Yet, the idea of not sharing the joy of parenthood with the woman he loved made the presence of children seem inconsequential to him.

He couldn’t bring himself to offer complete paternal affection to a child born out of anything other than genuine love for the mother. Such a situation wouldn’t be fair to the child.

“Why should I let go of such a wonderful girl? She will be my granddaughter-inlaw as long as I’m still breathing!” With eyes red and filled with pain, Newton slammed his cane on the ground.

“Perhaps to you, Alice is only a woman you liked. But for me, she is not only a filial child but also my savior! On that Christmas night two years ago, had it not been for Alice and her swift action in gettin to the hospital, you would have lost your grandfather by now!” Jasper’s eyes darkened, “I know, during that car accident, you were seriously injured, and if it weren’t Alyssa …” “You only know that she took me to the hospital, but do you know how severe her injuries were at that 1/2 Newton was filled with grief, his eyes welling up with tears.

“I was in a coma, and none of you could rush back from abroad. The only people by my side were Alice and Ben! I had no idea then how badly Alice was hurt! Head injuries, blood everywhere… She even repeatedly instructed Ben not to tell you and me, afraid that we would worry!” Jasper’s pupils quivered intensely. His heart ached as he absorbed those words.

Upon hearing this, Ben remembered a moment from the past and bowed his head in sorrow.

The concealed truth within him felt suffocating. Yet, as a dedicated secretary, he faithfully maintained confidentiality, strictly following the instructions of Newton and Alyssa.

“Grandpa, is that true?” Jasper was completely stunned.

“At this point, why would I make up such lies to fool you?” Overwhelmed by intense emotions, Newton was unable to stand any longer and finally sank into the wheelchair.

“The sacrifices and efforts Alice made for you go far beyond your imagination.

It’s much more than you realize. But in the past, you were deceived by that Gardner girl and couldn’t recognize the goodness in Alice.

“You have a debt to Alice that you won’t be able to repay in your lifetime. If she persists in being stubborn or disliking you forever, it’s your own fault. You should bear the consequences for what you’ve done!” Newton finished speaking and pushed the wheelchair forward without looking back.

“Mr. Newton, let me take you back to your room,” Ben said anxiously.

“No need! I’m in a bad mood. Don’t bother me any of you!” A chilling stillness gripped the atmosphere, and Jasper felt like he almost couldn’t breathe.

“Ben, you’ve seen it for yourself. Grandpa doesn’t want to see me.” Jasper’s throat rolled dryly.

His voice was low and hoarse as he instructed Ben, “Tonight, I’ll stay in a hotel near Crescent Bay. Let me know if there’s any issue with Grandpa, and I’ll rush over. I won’t stay here and cause trouble for the old man. I’ll leave for now.”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 823-“Mr. Jasper! Wait!” Ben called out to him.

Jasper asked, “Do you have something else to say, Ben?” “Is it really impossible for you and Ms. Alyssa anymore?” Jasper felt a stab in his heart.

“I don’t know.” “Ms. Alyssa has something on her that you don’t know.” Ben clenched his fist and struggled with the words.

Jasper turned back with a look of intense curiosity, “What is it?” “Ms. Alyssa made me promise to keep it a secret. I can’t say,” Ben looked conflicted.

“But I hope that Ms. Alyssa can tell you herself one day.” Jasper’s curiosity surged.

Alyssa initially hid her identity as the heiress of the Taylor family, devoting herself to him and loving him for 13 years.

These once-secretive matters were enough to deliver a soul-shaking impact on him.

What other secrets was she hiding from him?

Could they be even more shocking than those he already knew? 1 Two days after the amputation surgery, David woke up.

Alyssa arrived at the hospital early that day. She didn’t just finish the surgery and leave.

After all, Victor had entrusted her. She had an obligation to follow up on the subsequent treatments.

Alyssa examined David’s newly reattached left leg in the hospital ward with two attending physicians.

His right leg had already been replaced with a prosthetic.

“My legs… My legs…” David cried desolately with a bleak expression, but the tears wouldn’t come anymore. “I’m done… My life is over!” 1/2 BON Newton was filled with grief, his eyes welling up with tears.

“I was in a coma, and none of you could rush back from abroad. The only people by my side were Alice and Ben! I had no idea then how badly Alice was hurt! Head injuries, blood everywhere… She even repeatedly instructed Ben not to tell you and me, afraid that we would worry!” Jasper’s pupils quivered intensely.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 824-After hearing Jameson’s side of the story, Alyssa couldn’t help but find it unbelievable.

Setting aside Jameson’s refined and elegant appearance, she doubted whether he could commit such a brutal act. 3 Even if he wanted to deal with David, given his status, he could easily find someone else to handle it. Why would he personally get involved? 1 She regained her composure and asserted firmly, “Mr. David, this is a grave matter, and you need concrete evidence. Furthermore, you should address these concerns with Uncle Victor and the authorities, not with me.” “Ms. Alyssa, you saved me. You are my benefactor! I’m not so heartless as to stand by and watch you walk into the lion’s den without knowing its inhabitants!” With anxiety and sincerity in his voice, David continued, “I know Jameson is after you, and you two appear to be close. I fear you might be blinded by him!

“That man has been psychologically disturbed since childhood. His refinement is merely a façade. In truth, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

“His pursuit of you is solely to leverage the Taylor family’s influence to turn his life around. He doesn’t genuinely care about you.

“Jameson may not be entirely malevolent, but he certainly isn’t virtuous. After all, he orchestrated the ‘ accident’ at the racecourse.” David was acutely aware that Jameson was channeling his anger on Alyssa’s behalf, and it was particularly unsettling considering Jameson’s inclination to take matters into his own hands.

A marital union with Alyssa seemed unequivocally unattainable given David’s present circumstances.

Unable to have her, he pledged to disrupt Jameson’s path. His resolve was firmhe aimed to expose the hypocritical mask Jameson wore.

Exiting the hospital room, Alyssa appeared lost in contemplation. Outside, the Schmidt family inquired about the situation, and Alyssa responded sincerely, though her distracted eyes betrayed her thoughts.

In that moment, Alyssa caught sight of Jameson standing in the corner. She pursed her lips and walked straight toward him.

“Lyse, I appreciate your efforts,” Jameson said, standing upright and distancing himself from the wall with a smile.

1/3 +15 BONUS Alyssa, who wore a mask, comforted David, saying, “Please remain calm.” She added, “Just saving one leg already makes you luckier than many others.” “Someone intentionally harmed me. Jameson is behind it!” David’s expression suddenly turned fierce as he grabbed Alyssa’s hand.

Feeling a sense of alarm, Alyssa cast a quick glance at the two doctors. Luckily, they were a distance away, and David’s indistinct words went unnoticed by them.

Alyssa asked the doctors to leave, and she went to close the door.

With a grave expression, she turned to David and inquired, “Mr. David, during the last surgery, while you were under anesthesia, you mentioned that Jameson tried to kill you. Do you have any evidence?” David trembled violently, clearly recalling the night of the accident with intense fear.

“After my car flipped, the driver died on the spot, but my secretary survived. I was pinned under the car, unable to move, but I distinctly remember my leg was not broken. It was still functional.” Alyssa furrowed her brow. “And then?” David’s eyes widened with fear as he recounted, “Then I saw a black car slowly approaching. A man wearing a cap and a black mask exited the car. I won’t mistake his face and his eyes. It was Jameson!” Alyssa’s heart tightened.

“He walked over, holding an iron rod. Without a word, he beat my secretary to death in front of me! Then, he raised the rod high and struck my leg! I screamed in agony, and after that, I can’t remember anything else.”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 825-Alyssa remarked, “David lost a leg. He wouldn’t frame you so blatantly.” Through gritted teeth, Jameson explained, “David is just a pawn for Josh. He’s been involved in various underhanded activities orchestrated by Josh.

“David has accumulated numerous enemies in Solana City, and plenty of people would seize the opportunity to retaliate against him. Besides, what happened to him today, he brought upon himself.” Then, he disclosed everything that happened at the racecourse to Alyssa.

“If there’s anyone with sinister motives, it’s David!” Alyssa stared at him calmly.

“Lyse, I’ve never given much weight to the Schmidt family. If I were to take action against them, I wouldn’t resort to such crude methods. It doesn’t align with my taste.” Jameson adjusted his posture, raising the coffee cup and taking a sip, projecting confidence and refinement.

Having forsaken his conscience to survive with his mother in Kontina for 15 years, he had become adept at putting on a performance, crafting each lie to be as convincing as possible.

Even in the sincerity of his love for a woman, he found himself instinctively resorting to deception time and time again.

Lies could be virtuous or malicious, but he was confident that all the lies he told Alyssa were driven by good intentions-a manifestation of his love..

Alyssa fixed her gaze on him, the sharp intensity of her eyes causing even someone as strong-willed and ruthless as Jameson to feel a twinge in his heart.

“Jimmy, honesty and kindness matter to me. It’s not about lacking trust in you. I simply hope that yo maintain a sincere and compassionate heart, regardless of the future, just as you did in our childhood.

Jameson’s fingers, resting on the table, curled inwardly. His heart tightened, and a wave of shame- induced pain washed over him, He weakly lifted the corner of his lips, grabbed a fork, took a substantial bite of cake, and chewed forcefully.

Jameson reflected in silence. Much like his all-encompassing love for Lyse, he acknowledged that After parting with Jameson, Alyssa felt a mix of emotions for some reason.

At this moment, Jonah’s call came in. She snapped out of her thoughts and quickly answered the call.

“Jonah.” “Lyse, Axel has managed to get what “What is it?” Alyssa asked, puzzled.

“Julien Lovelace.” you wanted.” Alyssa coughed, nearly choking on her saliva upon hearing that.

“Axel has put in a lot of effort to bring him back to Solana City. When you see him tonight, you’d better thank him properly.” “Axel will be back tonight, too? That’s great! I miss him so much!” Alyssa rubbed her eyes, and her voice choked up a bit.

Perceptive as always, Jonah quickly picked up on Alyssa’s emotions and said, “My bad. Axel planned to keep his return a surprise for you, but I got carried away and accidentally let it slip.” “Jonah, I don’t need surprises. I just want everyone to be with me.” However, she knew it was difficult.

“Lyse, are you in Solana City, at the hospital where David is?” “Yeah.” “I’ll come pick you up.” “No need, Jonah. I can’t go back for now.” “It’s not just my idea. It’s also Dad’s.” Jonah’s tone grew somber as he continued, “Dad said you’ve helped Mr. David with his leg, and you done your duty. There’s no need to worry about it anymore.

“Also, their family must be in chaos because of this incident. Although we have a good relationship, avoiding suspicion is better now. So Dad asked me to bring you back.” 2/3 +15 BONUS In the next moment, he was thoroughly surprised!

In the car’s back seat, a tall man over six feet was lying horizontally, hands and feet bound. His mouth was tightly taped shut, and the only sounds he could make were muffled protests.

He looked both resentful and pitiful.

Jonah wondered if that man was Julien Lovelace.

Jonah stood in surprise for a moment before he crouched down. He braced himself with his left arm on the seat and removed the tape from Julien’s mouth with his right hand.

Julien struggled to catch his breath.

His captivating fox-like visage was adorned with a subtle sheen of sweat, lending him an enchanting androgynous allure.

His skin resembled premium porcelain, boasting a flawless and fair complexion.

The allure of his captivating appearance was accentuated by his rosy, soft lips, surpassing the beauty of most women.

Yet, what captivated Jonah the most were those doe-like eyes.

From the depths of his black pupils, he glimpsed a long-lost, pristine soul that never failed to stir his spirit and body, regardless of the passage of time.

As their eyes locked, time appeared to freeze.

“Hey, why did you pull so hard? Do you realize you’ve hurt my face?” Julien glared at Jonah in irritation, yet his eyes seemed transfixed on this handsome face, unable to look away.

“Sorry,” Jonah genuinely apologized.

“Hurry up and untie me!” Julien kicked his legs.

1 “The blood in my whole body can’t circulate! I’m suffocating!” “No, I’m afraid I can’t do that.” “What?” “Wait for Axel to come and release you.” Jonah locked eyes with him, and a faint smile played on his lips.

+15 BONUS “If you run away, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch you. The person who tied you up should be the one to untie you, right?”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 826-“Got it, Jonah. You don’t have to come pick me up. I’ll drive back later,” Alyssa said.

It was nighttime at Belbanks. A sleek black Maserati raced through the rear entrance of Heightsnew Villa, executing a stylish drift before smoothly coming to a stop in the backyard.

After being absent for six months, Axel emerged from the car and headed straight for Jonah, who had been patiently waiting.

“Jonah! I missed you so much!” “Me too.” Jonah and Axel exchanged a high-five. Jonah then looked toward the tinted car window and asked, “Is Mr. Lovelace inside the car?

“Exactly,” Axel smirked, “He’s not very cooperative.” “Even the most dishonest person would probably be truthful when encountering you.” Jonah’s gentle eyes flashed with a trace of worry as he asked. “But you didn’t harm him, did you?” “In what way? Physically, no, but does emotional harm count?” Jonah was rendered speechless by Axel’s reply.

Axel suddenly looked pained. He exclaimed, “Damn! I need to peel I need to use the toilet right away!

Jonah, wait for me!” Before finishing his sentence, Axel had already sprinted away with his legs crossed.

Jonah shook his head with a wry smile. “What has he been doing for the past few years wandering overseas? His kidneys seemed to be worse than before.” After a while, Jonah noticed the car not far away, rocking a few times before it became still.

Curiosity getting the better of him, he approached the car As he approached the front of the car, he heard movement from inside, the sound intensifying as if someone had detected footsteps outside.

Jonah squinted. Unable to resist his curiosity, he pulled open the car door.

In the next moment, he was thoroughly surprised!

In the car’s back seat, a tall man over six feet was lying horizontally, hands and feet bound. His mouth was tightly taped shut, and the only sounds he could make were muffled protests.

“The blood in my whole body can’t circulate! I’m suffocating!” “No, I’m afraid I can’t do that.” “What?” “Wait for Axel to come and release you.” Jonah locked eyes with him, and a faint smile played on his lips

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 827-Julien’s eyes were red and slightly teary as he stared at Jonah in complete astonishment.

He found himself bewildered by Jonah’s twisted mindset.

If he didn’t possess such striking looks, Julien might genuinely belleve him to be a monster!

“Are you in cahoots with the one who kidnapped me? Are you the kidnapper?” Julien questioned with a trembling voice.

Jonah squinted, extending a gentlemanly hand toward him. ‘Let me introduce myself. I am Jonah Taylor, the CEO of KS Group. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

“KS…?” Julien was startled, “My aunt. It’s you! Are you… “Exactly as you think.” Jonah’s fingers tightened, and he awkwardly smiled, “We’ll shake hands after Axel unties you.” “Jonah!” Axel returned in long strides, muttering. “The toilet is too far. I almost peed halfway. What’s the point of having such a big house?” Jonah frowned, feeling somewhat amused.

No matter how large the Taylor family’s house was, it was still a cage for Axel.

Just like Alyssa, he detested restrictions and craved freedom.

Thinking of Alyssa, Jonah couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Her three years of marriage with Jasper were undoubtedly a prison sentence for her.

“You!” Julien exclaimed upon seeing Axel, twisting his expression in frustration.

Luckily, his good looks spared him from looking outright scary Axel arched an eyebrow, casually leaning on the car door frame with a smirk.

“I’ve said it before, you twerp-there’s no such thing as a free lunch. You can’t just touch my hands and sit on my lap without giving something in retum.” Jonah’s eyes flickered. He felt too much information was in that statement, and he needed a moment to digest it.

Julien spat at Axel angrily. “How shameless can you be? Selling your looks.

You’re despicable!*

Axel made a disgusted expression, “Do you think I enjoy this? I’m a straight guy!

I’ve sacrificed a lot for you, and all you’ve given me is trauma. You’re terrifying.” “You!” Julien was so angry that his handsome face turned red as he roared, “You’re the one who should be called a twerp!” Axel raised his eyebrows, confused. “Huh?” *All show and no substance!” Julien said, glancing provocatively at Axel’s crotch.

“You’re just a fucking bastard who is asking for a beating!” Axel was about to rush forward and give Julien a flying kick, but Jonah held him back.

“Axel, Mr. Lovelace is Mandy’s relative and a guest invited by Lyse. Don’t mess around.” “Damn it! If it weren’t for Lyse, I’d definitely make him impotent!” Axel gritted his teeth.

Jonah smiled wryly. He finally understood why Axel had taped this man’s mouth shut all the He stepped forward and untied the ropes binding Julien’s wrists and ankles.

way here.

Jonah had never seen a man with such fair skin. As the ropes grazed his skin, they imprinted vivid red lines on his nearly transparent complexion, oddly triggering an unexplainable sense of protectiveness in Jonah.

“Ugh! That hurts.” Julien rubbed his wrists and furrowed his brow.

Axel snorted in disdain. “Tsk. You’re just whining like a woman. Disgusting.” Jonah looked at Julien’s swollen ankles and asked, “Can you still stand?” Julien pursed his lips and slowly stood up. Then, he let out a cry.

His legs had been bound for several hours, and they had long gone numb.

There was no way he could stand.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 828-In the blink of an eye, Julien’s body tilted forward. He swiftly clutched onto Jonah’s sturdy shoulders, finding refuge in the firm hold.

Responding with quick reflexes, Jonah intervened to prevent Julien from toppling over, firmly securing him with a grip around his waist.

In that moment, the duo struck a pose reminiscent of a classic romantic scene from a soap opera, leaving Axel, who stood nearby, in utter amazement.

“Uh, sorry about that.” Julien’s cheeks blushed with embarrassment.

Having harbored a lot of pent-up anger, Julien found solace in the embrace, his frustration easing.

“No need to apologize. If anything, we should be sorry,” Jonah asserted without hesitation, effortlessly lifting Julien in a princess-style embrace.

The unexpected move by Jonah caught Julien off guard, causing his heart to pound loudly in his chest.

Julien recognized his penchant for indulging in earthly pleasures, engaging in flirtation with handsome men, and succumbing to temptation after a few drinks. These tendencies were how he had ended up in Axel’s hands.

Yet, his sentiments toward Jonah in this particular instance took a completely different turn. Julien couldn’t help it. He raised his arms and embraced Jonah’s neck.

“What the heck? What’s going on?” Alyssa happened to arrive at that moment together with Silas and Sean.

Everyone was left dumbfounded by the scene before them.

“Is the person Mr. Jonah holding a man or a woman?” Sean was puzzled.

Silas was excited and exclaimed, “Wow! Could it be our future sister-in-law?” Astonished, Alyssa turned speechless as she observed the scene.

“You guys, take a closer look. It’s obviously a man!” Silas and Sean were taken aback, exclaiming. “A man?” Upon closer inspection, it was indeed quite evident. However, he had a slim figure and a face that was delicate and effeminate.

“Well, that excitement was short-lived. I thought a man from our Taylor family was finally getting out of singlehood.” Silas sighed with mock disappointment.

“Why would Jonah hug a man so passionately?” “Mr. Lovelace, you’ve had a tough journey,” Alyssa greeted with a polite smile as she approached them.

“Axel’s hospitality fell short. Allow me to make it up to you.” “Are you the Alyssa my aunt often mentions? Julien spoke in a cute tone, acting like a little princess in Jonah’s arms “Yes, I am Alyssa,” Alyssa remained composed, her beautiful eyes curved into a smile.

“Mr. Lovelace, you must be hungry and tired after the journey. How about having a meal, showering, and resting for the night? We can discuss things later.” Through gritted teeth, Julien said, “Ms. Alyssa, I warn you-this is kidnapping, and I can sue you for it.” Julien was still full of resentment.

“I know. It’s our fault for not being good hosts. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. To make amends, how about having Mr. Jonah from the KS Group keep you company for dinner tonight?” Alyssa’s statement left Jonah speechless.

“If Mr. Lovelace is comfortable with it, Jonah can also help you with bathing and changing.” Alyssa’s cheerful and sweet smile seemed harmless.

Alyssa’s reply took Jonah aback.

Julien’s gaze drifted, and he swallowed hard.

Everyone was stunned as Alyssa had just offered her own brother to Julien without even batting an eye!

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 829-Alyssa held Axel intimately in the living room, and Axel also embraced his sister.

If they weren’t siblings, others might think they were a newlywed couple cherishing their reunion.

“Axel, you went through a lot this time,” Alyssa pouted.

“It’s not a big deal. I just brought someone back. It’s nothing exhausting.” Axel replied while gently patting. her head. His eyes filled with longing and tenderness, “As long as you’d be happy, I’d even kill him for you.” Upon hearing that, Sean was scared out of his wits, and Silas almost spat out his tea!

At this moment, Jonah descended the stairs, “He’s asleep.” “He’s probably exhausted. Let him rest.” Alyssa sighed.

“I was too impatient. This might backfire. If Julien doesn’t agree to help, I can’t force him by threatening him.” “Lyse, don’t worry.” Jonah sat beside her, gently encircling her shoulder with his arm.

“You have us. We’re here to help you with things you can’t accomplish on your own.” “Exactly, Lyse,” Silas added in to comfort her.

“Why don’t you let us do something for you? We’re starting to feel irrelevant!” Alyssa’s lips trembled. She was moved to the point of tears.

She would engrave any kindness deep into her heart-even those from her siblings. She would always appreciate them without assuming them as a given.

Axel’s eyes suddenly lit up as he started, “Oh, speaking of something interesting, Lyse, I ran into a woman who looked a lot like you in Mosgravia, and I mistook her for you. I couldn’t resist and gave her a pat on the back.

“She turned around and glared at me, and that’s when I realized it wasn’t you Damn, it was awkward. But she dared to glare at me. I’ve been alive for 30 years, and no woman apart from you has dared to give me such a look.” “Tsk, nobody can glare at you. How awesome,” Silas teased while sipping his tea.

“Can you stop being so ridiculous? Our Lyse is a beauty. There’s no way you can find another woman whol looks like her. You’re just bragging.

“Silas, you’re giving up on your crotch again, huh?” Axel quirked an eyebrow at him.

“Axel, did the person you saw really look like me?” Alyssa asked with great curiosity.

“Very much so. My eyesight is usually good, I rarely mistook people. But that time, I even mistook her for you. You guys really look alike!” Axel pondered while rubbing his chin. “Hmm… Could she be one of the illegitimate children our unreliable.

father had left abroad? I should’ve grabbed her and asked about her father.” Alyssa and Silas were left speechless by Axel’s wild story.

“The world is vast. It’s not impossible for two people to look alike. Axel, you’re thinking too much,” Jonah said, shaking his head.

Suddenly, Alyssa’s heart skipped a beat.

She abruptly remembered Jasper holding her and hysterically trying to explain to her on a chilly night in the snow-covered park.

He said I he was innocent. He said he went to that hotel because he was worried about her.

He claimed to have seen someone who looked exactly like her entering the hotel with a stranger. That was why he had recklessly chased after them.

That was how he got caught, resulting in the scandal of an alleged rendezvous at a hotel.

Alyssa’s pupils contracted, and her heartbeat accelerated.

Could e words betwe Did he really see a woman who looked exactly like her?

But could such a coincidence happen in the world?

Even if it could, why did Zoe appear in that hotel, and why did Jasper go to her room?

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 830-“Hey, sweetheart, what’s on your mind? Your eyes are wandering.” Axel noticed Alyssa’s vacant gaze and reached out and waved before her eyes.

“Axel, I…” Alyssa pondered the resemblance to the woman who bore a striking likeness to her, causing her to hesitate before uttering her thoughts.

“What’s wrong, Lyse? You’ve always been straightforward. Why are you hesitating now?” Axel asked in surprise.

“It’s nothing.” That woman was no han counter. Besides, a she was far away in Mosgravia.

Even if she had a slight doubt in her heart, she couldn’t investigate it through that woman. She could only investigate through Zoe.

However, delving into these matters seemed futile.

Jasper had explicitly stated in front of Newton that their relationship was a thing of the past. Any possibility of rekindling their connection was long gone.

Despite this explicit declaration, she still found herself hesitating and was at a loss.

Alyssa sneered quietly, curling her lips into a chilly smile. Then, she grabbed the chilled remnants of tea in her hand and downed it in one swift gulp.

In the depths of her heart, she pondered the irony of her situation. She was dwelling on a man who had left her stranded not once but twice. She should’ve been grateful that she managed to avoid falling into the same pitfalls again.

Jonah, who was seated next to Alyssa, observed the complexity of her feelings but chose to remain silent. He opted to cradle her chilly hand within his warm grasp.

“Jonah, have you told Mandy and Winston about Julien?” Alyssa asked in a soft voice.

Winston had taken Lyla abroad to a villa for a vacation to help her cope with her feelings. Mandy and Colene went along, but they stayed in separate villas. With the elders away, the Taylor family mansion now only housed the younger generation.

“I’ve already called Mandy,” Jonah said with a smile.

“Mandy said not to treat him like a guest, handle him however you see fit. As long as Lyse is happy, she can practically disregard the fact that he’s her nephew.” Alyssa couldn’t help but laugh. She knew her stepmothers cared deeply for her.

*Hey, are you calling this cutting off ties with family or disowning relatives?” Silas couldn’t help but exclaim.

Axel’s hand slid into the depths of his black windbreaker. Retrieving a cigarette, he held it between his slightly raised lips, exuding an air of nonchalant defiance.

“Hmph, assisting others is almost like cutting off ties with family. But aiding that Jasper guy? Now, that’s truly disowning your own kin.” Once again, Axel’s audacious remarks rendered everyone momentarily speechless.

Alyssa’s eyelashes trembled, yet she maintained a stoic silence.

“Lyse, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say.

“Just don’t say it,” Alyssa interjected, already anticipating that Axel’s words wouldn’t be polite.

*Jasper is now grappling with severe after-effects in his brain because of me.

That incident had impacted his nervous system. I don’t know what the future holds for him. He might suffer intermittent fainting or even potential paralysis.” 1 Alyssa’s throat tightened.

Axel’s brows furrowed upon hearing Alyssa’s words.

“I don’t want anything to do with him anymore, but I also don’t want to owe him anything.” Alyssa looked at Axel again, her eyes clear and cold yet strangely heartwrenching.

“I don’t want to save him. I just want to redeem myself.” The atmosphere in the living room grew heavier.

Out of the blue, Silas, the witty one, dropped a question. “Hey, Jonah, about that Julien… Is he really a man?” Jonah replied, “Yes.” Silas continued in curiosity, “How does it feel to hold him in your arms?” Jonah remained silent, offering no response.
