Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Inside the ward, the sickly Newton instantly saw a lift in spirits upon seeing Alyssa. “Alice, come over here!”

In the next second, Alyssa changed her persona and obediently stood beside Newton. “Grandpa, how are you feeling? Does it hurt anywhere?”

“Even if it hurts, I feel cured after seeing you.” Newton pulled her hand and asked worriedly, “Alice, this bastard told me you guys are divorced. Is that true?”

“Yes. Grandpa, we’re divorced.” Alyssa’s eyelashes trembled, and her heart felt empty.

“You blind bastard! You have such a great wife, yet you don’t know how to appreciate her.” Newton expended all his strength to get up and glared at Jasper.

Jasper was worried about Newton’s condition and dared not speak rashly.

“Grandpa, don’t be mad at him. I don’t want to continue this marriage. I think it’s better for us to break up.” Alyssa gently comforted him and patted his back.

Jasper’s eyes narrowed as he thought, “She’s not complaining to my grandfather or using him to vent her anger and take revenge. Could she be using a new trick to get my attention and save this marriage? Alice White, what gave you the confidence to think I would be attracted by you?”

“Alice, were you wronged during your time with the Becketts? Did Sophia mistreat you?” Newton asked in dismay.

“No, Grandpa. I just don’t think Jasper and I are a good match. We wont’ have any feelings for each other, so the best outcome is to split up.”

Sadness shone in Alyssa’s eyes. “Don’t blame Jasper. We made some good memories during these three years too. That’s enough. Neither of us regrets it.”

Jasper frowned, and there was a perplexing emotion in his heart. He didn’t remember sharing any good memories with her. He didn’t even give her a wedding ceremony.

They had only gotten their marriage certificate under Newton’s urging. After that, she simply packed her stuff and moved in with the Becketts. Just like that, she became his wife. Did she really find those memories good? She must be lying.
