Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 1298

"Well done." Alyssa pecked Jasper's cheek, and the sound was loud. Being rewarded again, Jasper closed his eyes contentedly. "There's one more thing. There's movement on the Schmidt family's side."

"Oh? What did they do?" Alyssa instantly became alert.

"They're planning to hold a press conference to clarify what happened at the venue last time."

"Clarify? I think it's more like distancing themselves." Alyssa chuckled and drew a heart on Jasper's chest.

"Timothy has fallen. It's not just a talent groomed by the Schmidt family that has been ruined. They're all on edge, fearing repercussions from above."

Jasper's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "To show sincerity, Schmidt Group will definitely hold a press conference as quickly as possible. It should be in the next two days."

"Hmph! Although that corrupt Timothy is unforgivable, the Schmidts' two-faced demeanor is truly hateful."

"Don't worry, Lyse. I said I would avenge Taty. I won't easily give up. If they hurt you or any of your family even a bit, I'll make them pay a painful price." Jasper fiercely gritted his teeth.

As Alyssa listened to his powerful heartbeat, a smile graced her face.

She loved Jasper's strong sense of justice and his upright and fearless personality. They shared the same values, both having a compassionate heart.

Jasper held Alyssa's delicate hand and touched her numb little finger.

A sudden sorrow filled his chest, and he choked up. "Lyse, what happened to your little finger? Can you tell me?"

"It's nothing. I accidentally hurt it while climbing a tree when I was little. It's not a big deal."

Alyssa smiled, trying to make her smile look relaxed and natural." It's just a little finger. It doesn't affect my work or life.

"I'm already an adult. You don't have to be so nervous around me. Relax. Our days ahead are still long. Seeing you this tense, I'm going to get a heart attack sooner or later."

"Because it's about you." Jasper lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Because it was about you, even the slightest details struck a chord with me and lingered in my mind."

"Jasper, I know you've been regretful and guilty about what happened before, even feeling inferior in front of me. But I don't like you being like this."

Alyssa's heartache was almost overwhelming as she gently stroked his face.

"I know how uncomfortable it is to feel self-conscious in front of someone you love. So, I don't want you to consume yourself with self -doubt and torture yourself.

"We've finally come together, and I hope... we can have a healthy relationship, just like ordinary people, simple and pure."

Once upon a time, in order to please Jasper and make him fall in love with her, she did everything she could.

The feeling was so bad that she would wake up crying from her dreams.

She loved him, so she didn't want him to go down the same path.

Jasper understood her intentions. A pang of pain shot through his heart. He propped himself up on her side and sealed her lips again.

It was another passionate encounter, sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle.

Alyssa was a little dizzy, and she felt weak all over. It was as if she had drifted into the clouds.

"Lyse, after dealing with Schmidt Group, let's go to Swizo."

Jasper whispered in her ear, "Let's go on a nice trip. You wanted to see the snowy mountains, right? I'll go with you."

Alyssa's eyelashes trembled, and she agreed softly. "Okay."

She was also in the medical field and knew that there was a renowned gynecology professor in Swizo.

Although Jasper treated her very well, he was not the kind of person who sought comfort and ease. He surely wasn't the romantic kind, either. His sudden proposal to go on a trip must have a purpose.

He wanted to take her to see a doctor. Even if there was no hope, he had wanted to try.

Alyssa understood his intentions and also understood his feelings. If this could make him feel a little better, she wouldn't stop him.
