Can’t Win Me Back

"If Grandpa hadn't revealed it in a fit of anger, I wouldn't have known that Grandma was deaf in her left ear."
Feeling guilty, Jasper chuckled bitterly. "Isn't it ridiculous? As the grandson of this family, I spent the most time with Grandpa and Grandma, yet I never noticed her abnormality. What kind of grandson am I?"
"I knew about that. Grandpa told me about it during that Christmas when I went to visit Grandma with him..."
Alyssa stopped abruptly when she inadvertently mentioned Christmas. She dared not continue.
It would be Christmas in less than two months.
The Taylors loved festivities. Every year, they would set up a grand and magnificent Christmas tree in the living room. Jonah would personally prepare gifts for all family members and give the helpers in the house bonuses out of his own pocket.
But because of the child she lost, Alyssa no longer dared to celebrate Christmas. She wouldn't even return home on Christmas Day.
However, that was in the past.
Now, she avoided mentioning it because she feared it would bring up unhappy memories for Jasper. She was afraid of upsetting him.
Sure enough, his eyes reddened instantly. He hugged her tightly and hesitated for a long while before finally speaking, "Thank you, Lyse. Thank you for everything you've done for Grandpa and me over the years..."
He couldn't continue his words anymore.
"Since you know how much I've done, you'll have to treat me well for the rest of our lives," Alyssa said with a bright and cheerful smile as she patted his trembling back.
"Can I stay at your house for Christmas this year?" Jasper's gaze was intense.
His long lashes were trembling as though they were restraining his surging emotions. "I heard the Taylors have a big Christmas tree. I'd like to see it."
Alyssa nestled against his heaving chest. "Going there means you'll have to help out."
"Sure," Jasper replied warmly.
They tacitly avoided delving into their heartaches, yet they still understood the
deep affection and remorse in each other's eyes, showcasing their profound love to the fullest.
No words were necessary after years of love.
"Mr. Jasper, Madam."
Ben hurried in. Seeing the affectionate scene, he quickly covered his eyes to avoid intruding.
Jasper remained calm, but Alyssa felt embarrassed. Blushing, she jumped down from him.
"Ahem... Mr. Cyrus is here. He's in the living room."
The couple walked out hand in hand to welcome Cyrus.
