"However, just take a look at the situation now. Does Mr. Beckett Senior still care for you? He has been keeping his guard up with you. He's afraid of you.

They've never shown concern over how you've survived through all those nights that were full of pain and suffering! "It was Jasper who snatched away all that belonged to you. Everything that he now has... Those were supposed to be yours!" Sheryl exclaimed.
Justin picked up another pill and put it in his mouth. He started chewing it. He closed his eyes and mumbled, "Grandpa, you said that he was just a child back then. But you seem to have forgotten that | was also a child at that time." Initially, Jasper and Alyssa wanted to stay back. They wanted to accompany Newton. Nonetheless, Newton was adamantly against it. He insisted that they go back home.
"Are you two out of your minds? Go on and enjoy each other's company. Why do you always want to hang around an old man like me? Have you got too much ton your hands?" Newton pushed them outside. "It's tto leave. I'm glad that you cto see me. However, you'll just be a nuisance toif you stay for so long! See them off, Ben!" Alyssa pouted. "Grandpa, are you sure you want us to leave?" "es." Alyssa was speechless.
Jasper frowned. He said in a worried tone, "But Grandpa, your health." "Don't worry, Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa. | will keep you both closely updated about Mr. Newton," Ben reassured them. [x] Jasper and Alyssa had no other choice. They left unwillingly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter seeing them off, Ben cback to Newton. Newton no longer had a smile on his face. Instead, he was looking glum.
"Mr. Newton, didn't you want them to stay back? It's a good chance to spend sttogether. Why did you." "Do you think I'd still be in the mood for that?" Newton pressed his hands against his chest. He breathed laboriously. "I feel so uneasy, Ben. If | asked them to stay, they would be able to see that there was something wrong with me. I'm afraid of making them worry again." "Is it because of Mr. Justin?" "There are sthings that | can't explain clearly to you. I'm sure you understand." Newton was troubled. He felt anxious. "I'm more worried for Alyssa than Jasper right now! Or how about if | were to go to Belbanks in the next couple of days? | should meet with Mr. Winston to propose Jasper and Alyssa's marriage! We shouldn't keep dragging it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good!" "Please calm down, Mr. Newton." Ben reasoned with Newton. "Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa are now joined at the hip. Even so, their relationship has just stabilized not too long ago. There have been so many ups and downs previously. Moreover, Ms. Alyssa can no longer beca mother because of our carelessness.
"It wasn't easy for Mr. Jasper to prevail over that painful past for now. He put in his own effort and worked really hard. The Taylor family members have now started to treat him a little more warmly.
"This is a crucial moment. If we were to rock up to propose marriage, Mr. Winston would only think we're walking all over him. He will think that we're taking advantage of the situation. Who knows if that might backfire? "Mr. Winston... he has a unique personality. He can be very unpredictable!" Newton scratched his head anxiously. He sighed, "What should | do, then? I'm afraid that Alyssa will end up being won over by someone else!" "That won't happen. Their love for one another is as steadfast as the sun. They are just stuck in between two families. So, they have to proceed slowly.
"Moreover, they mentioned the marriage between Mr. Landon and Ms. Lauren over tonight's dinner. | think you have to pay sattention to these two as well." Ben's heart wrenched at the thought of Lauren. "Ms. Lauren is the one who is truly pitiful. It's precious that Mr.
Landon fell for her. And he stuck by her. It would be really regretful if Ms. Lauren missed out on being with him." Newton let out a heavy sigh. He slapped his hand on the armrest. "These are all my grandchildren. I love all of them. | will make sure that they find their better halves, even if that means having to risk my life!"
