Can’t Win Me Back

The next four days were ordinary but fulfilling.

Alyssa accompanied Jasper to visit Newton and spent the night there.

They even had a video call with Landon and Lauren.

The couple had already honeymooned in three countries and were about to embark on their next adventure.

"Jasper, Lyse, Jameson has now become a wanted man.

He's escaped to Kontina, hasn't he?" Landon asked, taking advantage of a moment alone with the couple while Lauren was with Jordan for her medications.

"Knowing you two, I'm sure you plan to head to Kontina to capture that bastard yourselves." He continued, "I'm worried.

I want to be there to fight alongside you all!" "If you truly care about us, there's only one thing you need to do— stay with Lauren," Alyssa responded, leaning into Jasper's arms.

Her expression turned serious.

"Remember, Landon, no matter what happens, you must stay by Lauren's side.

Don't falter." She emphasized, "Don't forget what you went through to marry her.

No one is more important than Lauren.

Not even Jasper." Landon looked at Jasper, clarifying quickly, "Jasper, I wasn't the one who said that, okay?" "No worries.

Lyse is right, though." Jasper lowered his eyes and chuckled softly.
