Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 141
The atmosphere dropped to a heezing point.
Kayler wished)
Intervene. He wanted to silence his boss to prevent him from ruining things for himself.
Alyssa laughed out loud, linding Jasper absurd Til admit, I underestimated your persistence when I decided to try and be with
you. I gave you everything that I was and could be just so you would love me. Look where that got me, huh?
“But you were wrong about one thing, Jasper Beckett. I never hated you, even when you wished me to disappear from your
sight.
“I did want to end things amicably between us, but you keep meddling in my life now that our relationship is over. You’ve
completely shallered any chance of us having a civil connection.
“That’s why I’m doing everything I can to erase you from my life. You married me because you had to, just as that’s my
standpoint now. I want nothing to do with you anymore. That is the only way for us to make peace with the past.”
Jasper fell as Il a sledgehammer had struck his heart.
“It’s getting late. You should bring Mr. Beckell back as soon as possible, Mr. Hall, Alyssa instructed Zavier.
She took a deep breath and turned to go back home,
Until today, Jasper remained oblivious to the extent of her love and sacrilices for him. He truly wasn’t worth her time anymore.
Suddenly, Alyssa felt a grip on her wrist, stopping her from leaving.
She turned to lind herself face–to–face with Jasper, He had a desperate look in his eyes.
Before he could speak, someone intervened. “Mr. Beckett, what are you doing? Coming to our home unannounced and holding
onto our future daughter–in–law like a madman. Isn’t that a bit shameless?”
Alyssa turned to find Mandy and Colene walking over to them. She quickly got rid of Jasper’s grip, then went to their side.
“Future *** daughter–in–law?” she echoed, stunned.

“I’m sure you can already guess why Jonah brought Alice home tonight.”
Mandy booked an arm around Alyssa’s shoulder, cooing. “She’s a fine young woman who loves Jonah just as me as he does
her.
“Our family, including Winston Taylor himself, is incredibly pleased to welcome her as part of us. We’ll be arranging a meet–up
with Alice’s parents soon and hopefully set a date for the wedding.”
Alyssa was left gaping in shock at what was being said,
She knew Mandy and Colene’s intentions for being out here, but this was way overboard.
Jasper, meanwhile, felt like someone had dug out a hole where his heart was.
“If I remember correctly, Mr. Beckett, you’ve announced the news of your engagement to the public.” Colene glared at him. “So
why are you still here bothering Alice?
“Shouldn’t you be with your fiancée instead? Virtue is utmost to a woman, so you’d do well not to tarnish her reputation. If you
don’t stop bothering her, we will take action.”
Knowing Colene was always the kind to bite how she barked, Alyssa quessed that Mandy and Lyla had helped restrain her
somewhat.
Xavier, on the other hand, silently wondered why his boss had driven all the way here just to suffer all this.
Jasper’s hands balled up, shaking slightly. He didn’t know why he couldn’t let go. He was the one who wanted their marriage to
end, after
all
“Ma’am, maybe we should go back home? It’s getting cold out here,” Alyssa offered kindly.
That single word, “home,” instantly formed a barrier that shut Jasper out of their world.
“Alice is what they say true? Jasper rasped out.

Alyssa took a deep breath. She decided to play along and hummed in acknowledgment.
“Al–alright,” Jasper mumbled, looking like he was far away in thought.
Then, he took out a black velvet jewelry box, He handed it to Alyssa. “Here. I got this for you as a token of our wedding...”
