Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1502

In an instant, Landon felt like he had been shot in the heart. The pain caused his sturdy body totremble.

"Back in the Beckett family, Lauren had no sense of self, and she wasn't happy at all. Now that she'swith you, she's become the woman you keep by your side, living life according to yourarrangements and preferences. I don't think being too compliant is good for her."

Jasper lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine. "Take a few days apart from each other to calmdown. It's a chance to think about the future of your relationship and how you want to proceed.”"Jasper... do you even hear what you're saying?"

Landon slammed his hands on the table, causing the wine in the glass decanter to ripple. His eyeswere redder than the wine within.

"When you pursued Alyssa, I never once asked you to give up! Now, when I need advice, you don'thelp... and you even want me to give up?

"In the end, I'm just a worthless and irresponsible bastard in your eyes! You never wanted Laurenand me to be together. From the beginning, you never intended to truly entrust Lauren to me! Ireally regret ever being friends with you!"

Jasper frowned at those words. "Landon, you're being too one-sided.”

"If it was Alyssa, and I asked you to give up on her, could you? I'm asking you, could you?"

Landon laughed bitterly. "You couldn't, could you? Losing Alyssa would kill you, wouldn't it? Well,it's the same for me. What's the fucking point of me living if I lose Lauren?

"When you said I should reconsider this relationship and take Lauren away from me... you're killingme. Not only that, you're scattering my ashes!"

"Lyse and Lauren are different. How much can Lauren endure? Not to mention setbacks, just theslightest stimulus could make her world collapse!”

Jasper's eyes darkened. His worry and anxiety at this moment were as if he were choosing a son-in-law for his daughter. "She can't endure what ordinary people can, and she can't withstand whatordinary people can bear.

"To love her, you need courage, determination, and patience far beyond those of ordinary people.But your actions today have clearly shown that you've lost patience. Otherwise, you wouldn't havehandled the situation so forcefully.”

Landon's heart sank, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

This time, he had indeed been in the wrong, and he couldn't blame anyone else.

Just as the tension reached its peak, a clear and loud voice rang out. "What's with all the noise in themiddle of the night?"

Both men looked up and saw Alyssa standing with her hands on her hips. Her gaze was sharp as shelooked at them from the direction of the living room.

"Lauren's awake, but she's a bit weak," Alyssa said, her complex gaze falling on Landon’s gloomyface. "Go in and see her."

Landon felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He rushed madly upstairs.

Meanwhile, Alyssa walked up to Jasper. She couldn't help but frown and sigh softly.

Seeing her visibly tired, Jasper felt a pang of heartache. He reached out to take her hand and pulledher gently between his open legs. He then wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

Remaining seated, he looked up at her, his gaze burning with affection. As he rubbed her waistindentation, he said softly, "Are you tired? I'll accompany you back to the room. Take a rest first.Lauren has me here. You don't need to worry."

"I'm not tired.” Alyssa's voice was light.

"You're not tired? You're too lazy to even say one more word."

Jasper picked her up and placed her on his lap. Leaning down, he kissed her softly on her crimsonlips. His Adam's apple bobbed. "If you don't want to go back to the room, just rest in my arms.”"No way. Your body is so hard. It's not comfortable at all."
