Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 877
Lauren suddenly commented, “Alyssa slept with Jasper before.”
Landon, caught by surprise, stared at her in bewilderment. “What do you mean?”
Lauren bit her lips and whispered with a frown, “It happened about two years ago. One night, I wandered around my home
because I couldn’t sleep.
“I saw Alyssa entering Jasper’s bedroom. At that time, Jasper didn’t like her much, and they rarely shared a bed. Most of the
time, they slept in separate rooms.
“Alyssa suffered a lot in the three years she was married to Jasper. I could tell that she loved him, but she
didn’t dare to get closer to him. She could only stay by his side quietly. At night, when Jasper was not
home, she would lie in his bed, wear his shirt, and use his cologne, but he never found out about that.
“She loved him very much. She was willing to humble herself for him. I felt sorry for her.”
Even Landon sympathized with poor Alyssa, who had given her heart to Jasper. A farewell wasn’t the
most painful thing in love-an unrequited love hurt the most.
Lauren began, “That night, I saw Alyssa entering Jasper’s bedroom. He came home drunk, and his face
was red like he had a fever.”
Landon seemed to recall the events of the day as well. It was Anne’s death anniversary. Landon had
hosted a dinner event for Jasper with a few friends to cheer Jasper up.
It was a night of chaos. Jasper had too much to drink and blacked out. When Landon sent him home to
Seaview Manor, it was the butler who helped Jasper into the house. Landon had no idea what happened
next.
He asked, “What happened after?”

“After that, Jasper went to his bedroom. None of them left the room that night. I was worried and curious,
so I opened the door, and I heard them ...”
Lauren pressed her lips as her cheeks burned in shame. She was too bashful to describe the scene.
Meanwhile, Landon was too shocked to speak. Did that mean Jasper and Alyssa had had sex wh
were married?
Did that dimwit Jasper sleep with Alyssa without knowing it because he was too drunk?
Landon thought, “Wow, he’s really a fucking jerk who dumps a woman after sleeping with her!”
He asked Lauren, “Have you not told Jasper what you saw?”
“How could I possibly go about it? Alyssa clearly wanted to keep it a secret as well.”
“And how would you know what Alyssa wanted? If you told Jasper he had slept with Alyssa, he might have treated her better,”
Landon sounded a little cross and harsh as he was anxious.
Lauren’s shoulders drooped. A look of fear flashed across her eyes.
Landon noticed the change in her eyes. He hugged her while patting her back, coaxing her, “Sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have
said that to you. I was a little anxious because I just wanted them to be together again.”
“At that time, Alyssa was an insignificant existence to Jasper. She knew Jasper disliked her, even hating her. She was worried
that Jasper might think she had taken advantage of him,” Lauren said.
Tearing up, she explained, “That’s why I wanted to keep it a secret for Alyssa. Landon, did I do wrong?”
“No, Lauren. You didn’t do anything wrong. You were considerate toward Lyse,” Landon replied while kissing her on the ear.
Then, he remarked with resentment, “It’s all Jasper’s fault! How ridiculous of him to have slept with Lyse and not know it!”
“What can I do? I wish to see them together again,” Lauren lamented.

“They will get back together one day,” Landon reassured her with a sigh despite his doubts. “I believe Lyse still has a place for
Jasper in her heart. One day, they will be together again.”
