Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1728

Alyssa understood what Lauren was trying to say. She let out an awkward cough.

It had already been a while since Alyssa was married and had a long-term partner. So, she wasn't too embarrassed to talk about the matters in the bedroom.

She asked in a serious voice, "Lauren, are you ready to become a mother?"

"A… mother?" Lauren was taken aback. She felt as if this word was far from her grasp.

To be frank, she wasn't ready.

She even felt like she was not yet an adult. Moreover, she had a condition. She wasn't even sure if her children would be affected.

That said, she knew that Landon yearned to start a family with her.

Each time they made love, when he was at his climax, he would mumble in her ear, "Let's start a family… Lauren, Let's have a few children… Doesn't matter if they're boys or girls. I will love them as long as they're yours…"

A conflicted look came across Lauren's face. "I… haven't thought about that. Do you plan to bear children for Jasper, Alyssa?"

This one question was like a thin, sharp sword that stabbed through Alyssa's heart. A piercing pain spread through the fullness of her heart.

"I am deeply in love with Jasper, both in the past and now."

Alyssa's eyes welled up. Her voice became hoarse and tense as she suppressed the pain of regret. "But that doesn't mean that we must have children. It's enough for me as long as I can grow old together with him."

This was how she truly felt. Moreover, she was physically incapable of bearing her own child.

Unexpectedly, this tugged at Lauren's heartstrings.

"Actually… I don't really want to have kids," she confessed.

Lauren hung her head down low. She clasped her hands together and rubbed them against each other. This was a rare occasion when she spoke her true thoughts. "I'm afraid that my children will inherit my condition. I don't want them to become a laughingstock after I give birth to them.

Alyssa, on the other hand, was a sensitive person. She was extremely aware. Nothing unusual could escape her attention.

"Has Landon been in a bad mood recently? I noticed that you've been tiptoeing around him."

Alyssa lowered her voice. "That day when you were in danger—did anything happen after you were rescued and brought back home?"

Alyssa hit the bullseye about what was bothering Lauren. She pressed her pink lips together tightly.

She stuttered with much difficulty, "That day, at the hospital… Landon and Cyrus had an argument. Landon… doesn't seem to like Cyrus that much. He gets unhappy whenever I talk about him.

"Cyrus is a good person, Alyssa. But so is Landon. I don't want them to be in disagreement. I want them to be friends."

Alyssa was taken aback. Momentarily after, a smile came across her face, and her dimples showed.
