Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 1651

Alyssa crouched down by the couch and gently nudged Winston. She said in the softest tone she could muster,

"What's wrong? Feeling shy? Oh, Winston. It's no big deal. Who in their right mind would be so obsessed over

something like this? That'd be a terrible testament to their character.

"Plus, our family owns KS Group. If | were to take a dump out by the entrance, the directors and staff would have

no choice but to stay silent about it!"

Both Jasper and Neil were at a loss for words.

They knew Alyssa was trying to console Winston, but there were better ways to console someone— better

analogies to be used.

Winston remained silent with his back toward Alyssa.

"You've been through so many ups and downs in life, Winston. You're not going to let this little hurdle drag you

down, are you?" Alyssa was getting more anxious now. "Hey, Winston! Can you pull yourself together? You still

have so many wives and kids to look after. What do we do if you don't toughen up?"

"Lyse," Winston finally said. His voice was so hoarse Alyssa could barely make out what was being said. "I must

be such a disappointment to you, huh?"

Alyssa's heart pained. "What are you talking about, Dad? Of course you're not!"

"Even | hate myself so much... I'm sure all of you must finda handful to deal with." Winston curled up into a

tighter ball. "Do you know what was going through my mind just now, Lyse?

"I was feeling so glad that your mother had passed on early. If she'd seenin such a state, she'd be so

disappointed and disgusted."

Winston was very much aware that Jasper was present here. The fact that he was revealing his most vulnerable

self to Jasper meant that he no longer saw the latter as an outsider.

"Dad." Alyssa croaked out, lips trembling.

Jasper.

"Yes." Jasper took a step forward, standing side by side with Alyssa.

"I despised you once; yelled at you, struck you. and even continuously tried to separate you and Lyse. | know |

was wrong for doing all that, so now. | sincerely hope you'll forgive me. I'm sorry, Jasper," Winston said.

Jasper was shocked to the core. He stammered, "N-No, sir. Please don't think that way! I've never blamed you for

what you did or thought you were in the wrong. You really don't need to apologize to me!"

"Please... Take care of my sweetest, darling daughter from now on," Winston said quietly. "I trust in your love for

her as well as you being a respectable man. Please also manage your family business well. You have to become

as rich as | am one day so my daughter doesn't live in poverty with you. | have nothing more to say beyond

that."

Neil couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was barely containing the joy he felt.

Jasper's heart pounded in his chest as he gazed lovingly at Alyssa. "Rest assured, I'll continue working hard and

give Alyssa all the best in the world."

But Alyssa had already gotten all that she wanted. To her, Jasper's love was the best thing in the world.

Just then, her phone rang. She answered the call when she saw that it was from Jonah. "Jonah!"

"Mr. Benton just updatedabout what happened to Dad, Lyse." Jonah's voice was sullen but still comforting.

"Bring Dad to Taylor General Hospital right away. Julien is here withright now. He'll check up on Dad."

"Julien is back?" Alyssa exclaimed with joy.

"Mhm." Jonah took a deep breath before saying tenderly, "I don't plan to let him go now that he's back."
