Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Oh, I see. I thought it was someone else." Winston didn't take Angelina's words seriously at all. He looked toward Cyrus as if he
was about to entrust him with an important task.
"You say that Landon will be asking for Lauren's hand in marriage. That means that he has yet to propose officially. Just because
a goalkeeper is standing at the goalpost doesn't mean scoring is impossible. You still have a chance, Cyrus."
Cyrus held his head in his hands. He was frustrated. He really wished that he could dig a hole for himself and hide in it right now.
Just as Winston finished speaking, they heard the sound of quick and urgent footsteps approaching.
"Winston! Why did you bring a whole troop of your people to our yard? What are you trying to do? Take the house down?" Alyssa
had one hand on her hips. She glared at Winston angrily.
Her emotional and mental state had settled down at this point in time, thanks to the power of love. She was no longer going to
resist or fear facing off against Winston.
Winston was an arrogant man. But it didn't matter if he used the power of the entire KS Group to repress them.
After their steamy night last night, Alyssa turned around and pressed her fair-skinned and warm body against Jasper's. She
tapped his moist, thin lips and asked in a gentle voice, "What's on your mind, Jasper?"
Jasper bit down gently on her finger. He stroked her delicate back, which was wet with sweat. "I was thinking what our next
hurdle might be."
"Why are you thinking about that for no good reason?"

Alyssa turned and rested her head on his chest. "There is no problem that cannot be solved. There is nothing that we cannot
overcome as long as we go through it hand in hand. Hey, you've already chickened out once. You're not going to be a cowardly
jerk again, are you?"
Jasper had a frown on his face. He gave her a loving tug on her waist. "I wasn't chickening out, Lyse. I was just..."
Alyssa giggled. "I know. I was just pulling your leg."
Jasper was speechless. She was pulling his leg by calling him a cowardly jerk? Upon reflecting, Jasper realized that Alyssa
wasn't entirely wrong. It was true that he used to be quite a jerk. He would just treat it as her way of being endearing toward him.
"All in all, only death can separate us in this life," stated Alyssa with a monotone voice, combining
seriousness with a touch of coyness.
"There is absolutely nothing that can separate us." Tears welled up in Jasper's eyes. He interlocked his fingers with hers. "We
will face the challenges in this life together. Till death do us part."
Winston was startled to see Alyssa, whom he had not seen in days.
This evening, Alyssa was only in regular-looking sportswear. She didn't have any makeup on. She had a bag of fruits in her left
hand. It was obvious that she had just gone to the supermarket.
She was his cherished daughter—someone extremely precious to him! From a young age, a multitude of staff members
attended to her every need. Yet, she now had to go to the supermarket personally to do groceries. She no longer had a classy air
around her!

Winston loved Alyssa with all his heart. He was about to snap when he noticed Jasper standing behind Alyssa. He was carrying
four bags full of groceries in both his arms. His hands were full.
Winston knitted his brows tightly. A strong sense of heartache and sorrow built up within him.
Amidst these emotions, he even felt an inexplicable hint of admiration.
Jasper was quick-witted. He spotted that Winston's eyes had turned red. He thought that Winston was still mad, so he quickly put
his bags of groceries down and greeted him.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Taylor."
"What are you apologizing for? Winston should be the one who should apologize to you instead. He shouldn't have taken
advantage of his seniority and hit you, no matter what!" Alyssa glared at Winston angrily.
Winston felt a pain in his heart. He sighed deeply in frustration, then spoke coldly, "It has been so many days, Lyse. You have
done so many ridiculous things. You have also seen the person you wanted to see. My patience is limited. It's time for you to
come back with me."
