Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Cyrus' casual description of Landon made the tension around them rise to the roof.
Landon's eyes shot wide open, and his entire body tensed up!
How could he describe him like that?
He hadn't been away from his home for too long. During that time, Cyrus had already come to create chaos in his house?
Alyssa and Jasper had heard the ruckus at the door. They walked on over.
"Cyrus? You're still here?" Alyssa, sharp-minded, noticed the standoff between Cyrus and Landon, shooting them a suspicious
look.
"Oh, I wasn't too sure how to open this door. Mr. Landon came back just in time and opened the door for me. I'll be leaving now."
Cyrus looked back and smiled brightly at Alyssa, as if nothing had just happened. "Once this busy period is over, I will take you
out to have some fun. You shouldn't be stuck living with this man every day. How boring is that."
Jasper stayed silent. As much as he knew that Cyrus was kidding, Jasper couldn't help but feel jealous again.
Even after Cyrus left, Landon was still unable to calm himself down. Alarm bells were going off in his head.
He couldn't shake off the thought that Cyrus had met Lauren while he was away from home. He also speculated that they had a
significant amount of interaction.
"What's wrong, Landon? You don't look too good," Jasper asked out of concern.
"I'm fine," replied Landon. He exhaled heavily.

Alyssa was sharp. Instantly, she had perceived that Landon was bothered. She initiated an apology to him.
"I was the one who asked Cyrus to bring some documents to me here. I'm sorry for not informing you in advance. You are best
friends with Jasper, but I understand that this is still the home that you share with Lauren.
"I am just here as a guest. It was thoughtless of me to invite an outsider into your home. I promise it won't happen again."
Jasper was startled. He put his arm around her waist and quickly explained on behalf of Landon, "You're overthinking it, Lyse.
Landon is not such a petty person."
Landon widened his eyes and waved his hand. "Alyssa, don't say that!
"I'm glad to have you here. Jasper is happy, and my wife is even more so! Lauren has been in a much better mood ever since
you came. She has also become chattier. How I wish that you could both stay on until the new year! I have no objections at all!"
Alyssa leaned into Jasper's arms. They looked into each other's eyes.
Alyssa then said, "I feel bad for encroaching on your space for such a long time. I do enjoy Lauren's company. But, our presence
here is indeed making it inconvenient for you and Lauren, especially if you want to be romantic with one another."
Her words made Landon feel embarrassed. He used to be a womanizer. But his sex life took a 180- degree turn because of
Lauren. His love life and sex life were now sacred to him.
Thus, upon hearing Alyssa's words, he felt quite shy. His face flushed red—like a man in love for the first time.
"Moreover, my Dad came by tonight."
"Mr. Taylor came?" Landon was shocked. How much had he missed during his time away from home?

"Even though he brought his men with him earlier, he didn't force me to leave with him. In fact, he even stayed to have dinner,
which Jasper prepared personally."
"What the... Jasper cooked for him?"
Landon was floored. Still, he didn't forget to tease Jasper, "Mr. Taylor is such a brave man. I can't believe he dared to try your
food. What happens if he gets diarrhea?"
Jasper's expression turned dark. Through gritted teeth, he replied, "Did you have trash for dinner? Your breath stinks."
"My dad's attitude toward Jasper wasn't great, but he wasn't as hostile as before. Now that he already knows that we are living
together, there is nothing more for us to hide. So, we'll pack up our things in the next two days. We'll go back to my place."
Alyssa smiled sweetly. She couldn't wait to be able to spend time with Jasper alone.
Jasper knew Alyssa very well. He murmured right by her ear. "You know what? Let's move tonight."
Alyssa yawned. "Aren't you tired after busying yourself the entire evening? I'm beat. Let's talk about this tomorrow."
Jasper still had his arm around her waist. He caressed her naughtily and whispered, "Well then, you can be the passive one
tonight. Let me do the work."
Despite Jasper muttering those words under his breath, Landon heard everything!
Landon couldn't help but think, "That son of a bitch. When did he become so flirtatious?"
