Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 822

Chapter 822 

“At times like these, you should hold on to Alice’s hand! Despite the rumors or turmoil the Harper family stirred, you mustn’t let go of her hand!” 

Jasper was against the idea of letting that occur, and he was also not inclined to stand by and observe Alyssa being with Jameson without the capacity to intervene. 

“Grandpa, I did say those things, and I did do those things. You can hit me.” 

Jasper tightened his fists, his eyes turning red. 

“Hit me and scold me as much as you want, then rest early. It’s time to let go of everything between me and Alyssa.” 

“Let go? You want me to let go? Then what about you? Are you going to marry that improper girl from the Harper family?” 

Newton’s head buzzed with anger, and only with Ben’s support did he manage to stand steadily. 

“Do I have to get married? I’ve been married once, and that’s enough. I can live without marriage. I have 

no interest in continuing the family line, nor do I like children.” 

As Jasper spoke those words, an inexplicable ache gripped his heart with each utterance. 

It wasn’t that he held any aversion toward children. Yet, the idea of not sharing the joy of parenthood with 

the woman he loved made the presence of children seem inconsequential to him. 

He couldn’t bring himself to offer complete paternal affection to a child born out of anything other than 

genuine love for the mother. Such a situation wouldn’t be fair to the child. 

“Why should I let go of such a wonderful girl? She will be my granddaughter-in-law as long as I’m still 

breathing!” 

With eyes red and filled with pain, Newton slammed his cane on the ground. 

“Perhaps to you, Alice is only a woman you liked. But for me, she is not only a filial child but also my 

savior! On that Christmas night two years ago, had it not been for Alice and her swift action in gettin 

to the hospital, you would have lost your grandfather by now!” 

Jasper’s eyes darkened, “I know, during that car accident, you were seriously injured, and if it weren’t 

Alyssa …” 

“You only know that she took me to the hospital, but do you know how severe her injuries were at that 

1/2 

Newton was filled with grief, his eyes welling up with tears. 

“I was in a coma, and none of you could rush back from abroad. The only people by my side were Alice and Ben! I had no idea then how badly Alice was hurt! Head injuries, blood everywhere… She even 

repeatedly instructed Ben not to tell you and me, afraid that we would worry!” 

Jasper’s pupils quivered intensely. His heart ached as he absorbed those words. 

Upon hearing this, Ben remembered a moment from the past and bowed his head in sorrow. 

The concealed truth within him felt suffocating. Yet, as a dedicated secretary, he faithfully maintained confidentiality, strictly following the instructions of Newton and Alyssa. 

“Grandpa, is that true?” Jasper was completely stunned. 

“At this point, why would I make up such lies to fool you?” 

Overwhelmed by intense emotions, Newton was unable to stand any longer and finally sank into the 

wheelchair. 

“The sacrifices and efforts Alice made for you go far beyond your imagination. It’s much more than you realize. But in the past, you were deceived by that Gardner girl and couldn’t recognize the goodness in
