Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Lauren, look at me." Alyssa firmly grasped Lauren's slender shoulders and
stared into her dim eyes. "Are you really going to do this? Are you willing to part with him?
"Don't do something you'll regret. Once you lose some people, you may never find someone like them again."
"Alyssa, I've thought this through. It's not a rash decision."
Smiling contentedly, Lauren slowly closed her eyes. "Separating is the best outcome for Landon and me. Having been together and sharing unforgettable memories is already enough for me.
"I love the lively Landon from before, so I want him to return to being himself. Being with me would only hold him back and burden him."
Alyssa's heart wrenched as if it were being crushed.
When Alyssa returned to her room with tears, Jasper was already waiting for her.
"Lyse, why are your eyes so red? Did you cry?"
He hurried over and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. After pulling Alyssa into his embrace, he said tenderly, "Who upset you? I'll help you vent."
"With you protecting me, who would dare to upset me?"
Alyssa rested her forehead against his shoulder, feeling the warmth of his body gradually calm her mind. "It's Lauren."
Jasper immediately became concerned. "What happened to Lauren?"
"Lauren wants to break up with Landon."
"Why?" Jasper's breathing became rapid.
"The recent events have been too much for her. She's scared and tired, and she feels like she's holding Landon back."
Alyssa raised her face and hooked her arms around his neck. She sighed with frustration. "I understand how she feels. When you love someone too much, you start to be cautious. You won't be able to fully immerse yourself and enjoy the relationship without reservations like before."
"No wonder... I tried to call Landon all day today, but he didn't answer. Looks like he knows." Jasper's jaw tightened slightly as he couldn't help but be worried about Landon's situation.
With all the troubles happening and now facing a breakup with his beloved, that day might possibly be the darkest moment of his life.
"Even if Landon can sort out the issues with his family, what about Lauren? Grandpa and your dad are likely to hate the Harpers. How could they allow Lauren to marry him?"
Alyssa looked frustrated and helpless. "Remember how my family reacted back then? Lauren's situation is even more serious than mine. It's a complete conspiracy by the entire Harper family against her. They're bullying and manipulating her like she's a fool.

Jasper's brows furrowed. "Otherwise, I don't think Zoe and Preston have the ability to do this."
"I think the same. Let's wait for news from Cyrus."
As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, Jasper's phone vibrated.
He pressed the speakerphone to answer. "Xavier, what's up?"
