Can’t Win Me Back

Surprisingly, the dinner turned out to be a peaceful meal.

Winston and Alyssa seemed to have a tacit understanding of one another. Neither of them made any mention of the things that would make each other upset.

"Woah! Are you all having a feast by yourselves? How could you!"

Cyrus came over after being tired of strolling around the house. He was also hungry, so he sat himself down at the dining table too.

"That wasn't very hospitable of you, Lyse. Why didn't you call me over when there's a feast here? I don't even have an appetite as big as Silas'. Were you afraid that I'd gobble everything up?"

Winston and Alyssa looked at Cyrus. In unison, they exclaimed, "Oh! I forgot about you!"

After dinner, Winston got ready to leave.

Alyssa stood on the steps as she watched Winston and Neil depart. As for Jasper, he wasn't just going to stand and watch. He walked them straight to their car.

Before Winston got into the car, he paused. He stood up tall and looked at Jasper with a deep gaze.

He said, "I stayed back tonight because I missed my daughter. I just wanted to spend more time with her. Don't you dare feel smug about it. I have never acknowledged you nor forgiven you."

In a neutral tone, Jasper replied, "I'm aware that I'm very inadequate. So, I've never expected to receive your forgiveness. I just hope you can give me a chance to be good to Lyse."
