Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 1105

The Jesseltons’ arrival introduced a subtle change to the social dynamics. Javier and the

Harpers reacted to the new guests with enthusiasm, though they did not grovel at Ezzo

Jesselton as they were on par in social standing. Still, they accorded the Jesseltons much

more interest and respect.

Jasper was the only one who did not respond to the Jesseltons. Sitting like a statue beside

Javier, he cast a passionate look at his lover. Alyssa, engaged in a conversation with

Winston, wore a serious expression, oblivious to Jasper’s longing gaze.

-Suddenly, Jasper felt a chill when Jameson, holding a champagne

flute, leaned forward to obstruct his view of Alyssa.

Next, Jameson slowly turned around to face Jasper with a smirk and raised the champagne

flute at him.

Jasper froze from head to toe, tightening his grip on his wine glass in rage. Jameson

arched a brow and leisurely took a sip of the wine, a clear act of provocation.

Jasper held his breath and unknowingly broke the glass in his hand. The glass slid to the

floor, spilling wine all over his outfit.

Upon seeing that, Zoe immediately focused on Jasper, running up to him and gasping,

“Gosh, Jasper, your suit is stained!”

To everyone’s dismay, she crouched and attempted to wipe away the wine stain on his

“Landon …”

“Hm? What’s wrong?” He lowered his gaze and replied gently.

“I don’t know why… but… your uncle makes me uncomfortable,” As usual, Lauren

expressed her thoughts without reservation.

She had lowered her voice, but Preston was ruffled when he overheard her remark.

“Look away from him, then. Better keep your eyes off filthy stuff!” Landon deliberately

raised his voice when he replied to her while hugging her.

Preston’s anger uncoiled, but he dared not make a scene as he didn’t want to be seen as

eavesdropping on Landon and Lauren’s private conversation.

Lauren obediently shut her eyes, looking adorable as ever. Landon gently caressed her

soft hair and gave her a peck on the cheek, saying, “We’ll make a lot of cute babies in the

future. Look away from ugly things-they’re not good for our babies.”

Lauren blushed shyly while Preston choked on his wine and coughed violently.

Meanwhile, Alyssa squinted with fury when Zoe touched Jasper. She inadvertently leaned

forward, but she wasn’t about to engage in a confrontation because she observed basic

decency.
