Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Suddenly, Alyssa felt Jasper's hand on the small of her back. He pressed her
against his warm chest.

"Mmm..." Her body went limp, and her breath caught. Jasper sealed her lips with
a look of desire and guilt.

He kissed her deeply, passionately, and freely in front of Newton.

Newton and Ben looked delighted at the scene as their hearts raced. Given
Jasper's nature, he consistently exhibited reserved, undiplomatic, and
challenging traits.

When Jasper was a teen, Newton had seriously considered bringing him in for a
psychiatric evaluation multiple times, but he worried he might injure the poor kid's
ego.

Now, Jasper was a changed man all because of Alyssa.

"Don't! Grandpa is here." Alyssa shoved Jasper away awkwardly with a blush on
her cheeks.

"Grandpa is family." Jasper put a hand on her waist. He blurted out, "Besides,
why can't I kiss my lover in public?"

She shyly pressed her moist lips together at his flirting.

In the past, all he could do was carefully trod around. Every time, he hesitated to
use the word "lover". Little did he know that all he needed to do was
courageously take a step toward her. Once he took that one step forward, their
hearts would touch.

"Ahem! Ben, have you fed the birds in the backyard? Let's do it now!" Newton
chuckled with glee.

"Sure, Mr. Newton!" Ben was equally happy.

When Jasper finally moved his lips away from Alyssa's, her lipstick was
smudged. He wiped away the smudge and said, "Lyse, thank you. I'm glad to
have you by my side, whether in the past or the present.”

"Do you know the reason Grandpa loves fireworks?" Alyssa embarrassedly
lowered her gaze and adjusted his tie for him.

Tell me.

"It's because Grandma loved them." She sighed. "When she was young, she
loved playing with fireworks. But Grandpa was an insensible young chap who
only bought her bottle rockets and played them in the garden. She was annoyed
and nicknamed him Newton 'Bottle-Rocket' Beckett."

Jasper chuckled. "That's a great nickname. It suits his personality.”

"Grandpa often told me that those

were the best years for him. He could

not forget every moment he shared

with Grandma. Any status or power

could not top his longing for her,"

Alyssa said wistfully. "That's why I'm
doing this for Grandpa. This is all I

can do for a loyal old man who is

living in his memories." The content

Jasper teared up after listening to her stories.

"Eh? Are you serious? You tear up

easily these days, don't you?" She
hurriedly wiped the tears from his

eyes with his tie. "Why would you get

all emotional when I'm not even

talking about you? Is there something
wrong with your eyes?" The content

Jasper felt extremely guilty. Of course Newton's stories had everything to do with
him.
