Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Of course I'm okay with it. I'm fine with anything as long as I'm with you, and if
it's for Grandpa," Jasper said with a smile.
"I feel sorry..." Alyssa wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in
his shoulders.
She said in a muffled voice, "Ben told me that Grandpa hasn't been feeling well
for a while, but I couldn't tell until now.
"He even got up from his wheelchair at the cemetery. Whenever I think of that, I
feel horrible. How could I have carelessly missed it?"
"It's not your fault, Lyse. You've done well," Jasper comforted her. "Let's pay
more attention to him in the future. I bet he doesn't want to stress you out. He
might refuse to see you if he learns that you know about his condition," said
Jasper.
Then, he thought, "Did Landon and I have the honor to date the two kindest souls
in the world? We're two lucky guys!"
The mood in Crescent Bay villa was gay due to Jasper and Alyssa's presence.
Alyssa performed a checkup on Newton, after which she prepared some healthy
dishes in the kitchen. On top of that, she reminded the chef of the foods to avoid,
given Newton's health condition.
Allin all, she was like a perfect granddaughter-in-law.
Jasper had limited knowledge about healthy foods. Unable to offer help, he
settled down beside Newton.
Newton stared at Alyssa. He remarked, "There's no one better than my
granddaughter-in-law! She's young, talented, caring, and listens well. She's even
a good cook!"
Then, he lamented, "Sigh. I have always preferred girls over boys. Girls, if raised
and nurtured well, could take over the family business just like boys. But your
grandma gave me two sons. If it weren't for her health, I would have wanted a
daughter with her.
"If I had a daughter, I would raise her well so she'd turn out like Alice. Then, I
would hand the company to her. As for your dad. Hmph! He should feel thankful
for getting scraps.”
Jasper listened quietly to Newton with an aloof expression.
Newton ranted, "What has your dad done in the years as chairman? If your Uncle
Ryan hadn't passed on early." He suddenly inhaled sharply and ended his rant.
The look in Jaspers eyes deepened. He always had a feeling that Newton's
dissatisfaction toward Javier stemmed from something bigger than Javier's
decision to marry Sophia. He never seemed to like Javier much and instead
occasionally expressed his affection for his younger son, Ryan.
"Jasper, it's good that you've returned after having lost your way. You chose Alice
instead of going down your dad's path. Otherwise, I will never rest in peace. I'll
roll in my grave!" joked Newton, whose gloomy mood suddenly disappeared.
Jasper gulped. "Grandpa, I'm sorry to you. I'm more sorry to Lyse... I was—"

Jasper felt shocked by Newton's confession. He was about to speak when Alyssa
approached them, looking numb.
She announced, "Grandpa, Jasper, I just got the news that Sophia was executed
ten minutes ago."
