Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa's eyes welled up with tears after Jasper's sincere words. She planted a kiss on his lips.
Jasper was delighted by it. He grabbed Alyssa's waist, lifted her, and spun her around calmly.
"Ah! No!"
In an instant, a chill swept over Alyssa. The towel, previously wrapped securely around her waist and covering her private area,
loosened and slipped off.
Jasper's blood boiled as he caught Alyssa on full display.
"I think it's just right."
Jasper curled his lips naughtily. He scooped Alyssa up and walked toward the bedroom, kissing her inch by inch.
"W-What are you doing? I just showered!" Alyssa's heart raced as she playfully hit his chest. A subtle pinkish blush spread
across her smooth, silky skin.
Jasper's eyes reddened as he murmured hoarsely, "I'll shower you again. Let me get my batteries recharged."
After enduring an excruciating wait until nightfall, Alyssa, Jasper, and Xavier returned to Maggie's house once again.
Both of them were waiting in the car. Xavier stood by the door as he looked left and right cautiously, waiting for Maggie to
appear.
Shortly after, a woman clad in a plain T-shirt and jeans emerged from the dark wooden door.

Alyssa and Jasper cast aside their concerns when they spotted Maggie from the car. While they wished to approach her
personally, having three people there would have made her a conspicuous target.
"Are you Ms. Madison?" Xavier paused as he silently sized the pleasant-looking woman.
Xavier sighed to himself. It was no surprise that David would set his sights on a woman as fair and beautiful. The scoundrel had
tarnished such an innocent lady!
However, she actually looked mature and nothing like a 17-year-old.
"Yes, I'm Maggie." Maggie blinked as she stared at the man in the suit in fear.
He looked prim, proper, and poised. He didn't look like he belonged in this poor area.
She felt ashamed, so she pursed her lips and took a small step back.
Xavier smiled warmly, and he escorted her in a chivalrous manner. "Mr. Beckett and his wife are waiting.
Please come with me."
"W-Wife?"
"Yes, it is Ms. Alyssa."
Maggie's eyes glistened with excitement as she thought about meeting her dream couple. She followed Xavier to the black car.
Then, Xavier noticed the white cartoon bag Maggie was carrying. It looked like a rabbit and a bear. It was cute.

"Adorable."
"Oh? T-Thank you."
Xavier was startled. "I'm talking about your bag. It's adorable."
Maggie felt she was ahead of herself, and her face reddened. "T-Thank you then, Uncle."
Xavier was in disbelief at how Maggie addressed him. Did he look that old?
Xavier's eyes darkened as he pouted.
The black car quietly left into the night.
Suddenly, a dubious figure emerged from the corner of the old vicinity. He gazed in the direction he had just departed and pulled
out his phone.
