Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper's heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic drum solo threatening to burst through his chest.

He clenched his hand into a fist against the door.

"Why not?" Winston was perplexed.

"Jasper treats you the best.

The relationship between both of you has already stabilized, and you've lived together for so long.

Why don't you just register your marriage? That way, things will get a lot easier once your relationship is legally recognized." Alyssa pressed her lips together lightly.

"A marriage certificate makes no difference for Jasper and I." "How is there no difference? If you ask me, the most realistic way to express one's love is to give their lover a status that no one else can replace!" Winston's gaze was fiery, and he started getting a little emotional.

"The only person I have married legally was your mother.

She is the only one who has a special place in my heart.

She was the only wife I had legally.

Although it has been many years since she passed, her place in my heart has never changed.

She is still my wife! "Right now, people out there will only address you as Ms.

Taylor or refer to you as Mr.

Beckett's girlfriend.

I know that you're very much in love with Jasper.

He wasn't sure if Alyssa had gotten over the past hurt, but he knew that he hadn't.

He was insecure, depressed, regretful, and remorseful.

He had once hurt the woman he loved the most.
