Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa rubbed her damp face against his chest. When she lifted her head,
Jasper's sturdy chest muscles hidden beneath his shirt were faintly visible,
seducing her.

She felt a bit embarrassed now. After sniffing a few times, she rubbed her palms
against the spot on his chest where her tears had dampened it.

The adorable sight ignited a warm rush within Jasper, making his heart flutter.
But he wouldn't keep her awake tonight. He just wanted her to rest well in his
arms so she could recharge herself.

"You haven't eaten anything all night. You should be hungry, right? I'll make
something for you." Jasper looked at her with concern, gently wiping away the
tears at the corners of her eyes.

"You haven't eaten either. Let me do the cooking. You're too slow in the kitchen.
It'll be too late to eat by then." Alyssa sniffled.

Jasper smiled helplessly. "Then I'll have Mrs. Rosie do it."

"It's late. I'l do it."

"Then let's do it together.”

This warmed Alyssa's heart. "Okay."

With a skilled cook around, Jasper could only assist. Alyssa effortlessly made a
grain bowl. To be more accurate, it was a grain pot.

It was a really large pot.

It seemed like she was trying to vent her anger with food.

"Lyse... it's so late. Will you be able to sleep at night after eating so much? Won't
you feel uncomfortable?" Jasper stared at the pot, suddenly feeling full.
Standing by the table, Alyssa rolled up her sleeves. She then vigorously mixed
the ingredients in the pot with a large spoon. "Don't worry. After eating, I'll go
rowing on the lake in the backyard for an hour, so I'll burn it all off."

Jasper swallowed hard, feeling speechless.

This woman was really ruthless with herself.

After mixing the ingredients, Alyssa scooped up a large spoonful and forcefully
stuffed it into Jasper's mouth.

"Eat."

Jasper chewed hard, almost choking.

Alyssa also scooped up a spoonful. She opened her small mouth to an
astonishing size as she chewed vigorously. If she weren't so pretty, her
expression while eating would be downright terrifying.

She was really angry, indeed.

After a while, the couple actually finished eating the grain bowl.

Jasper was originally the kind of person who rarely ate at night, and he didn't
have the habit of having supper. But for her, he broke those rules he had
maintained for over a decade.

"Whew... I feel much better now." Alyssa sat back on the couch with narrowed
eyes. She was already too full to get up.

The two of them snuggled together in the quiet living room, enjoying the rare
peaceful time of the day.

"Jasper." Alyssa raised her hand and scratched Jasper's chin.

"Yeah?" Jasper responded softly as he grabbed her hand and pressed it against
his chest.
