Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1037

After a brief internal struggle, Alyssa decided to keep it a secret.

Right now, Jasper was filled with guilt and remorse. Of course, she was glad that he showed remorse for what he had done to her in the past, but she did not want him to risk his life once more to make amends.

All she wanted was for him to light up her life. The last thing she wanted was to burden him with more guilt. This was her subtle way of expressing her love.

Jasper's chest tightened when he noticed that she had turned white. Holding her shoulders, he inquired, "Lyse, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." She beamed at him. "I injured my finger climbing a tree as a kid. It's not a big deal and doesn't affect my life at all."

Nevertheless, Jasper felt sympathetic toward her and gently held her pinky finger. "Why didn't any of your brothers take better care of you?"

"They did, but I was a troublemaker who refused to listen," she replied with a pout.

He couldn't resist giving her a peck on the lips as she was too adorable. He promised, "You don't have to trouble your brothers anymore now that I'm with you. I'll take care of you and protect you."

She blushed. He swallowed hard at her shy response as desire stirred in him.

"Oh, by the way," Alyssa extracted an exquisite box from her coat pocket and put it in his hand. "... this is Jonah's gift for you."

"Jonah's gift for me?" Jasper appeared shocked at the special treatment.

Cheeks reddening, she gently nodded. "Yeah. He gave it to me when you were in a coma. I decided to give it to you in person after you woke up."

Besides, Jasper remembered the fight scene with Jonah very well because it was rather exhilarating.

"It's lovely and exquisite. I love it."

"It's not worth much, but it's a very meaningful item to Jonah. He's expressing his approval of you when he gives you the necklace," explained Alyssa.

She could tell that Jasper cherished the necklace. After all that happened, she was glad she ended up with Jasper.

Moreover, Jasper had won the approval of her brothers with his persistence. She once believed that her brothers would never forgive Jasper, but things seemed to be heading in a positive direction.
