Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 529
A heavy silence enveloped the car.
Jonah, Liam, and Sean were baffled. Sean, who was driving, almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.
“Lyse, w-what did you just say?” Jonah stammered, losing his usual composure.
“Jasper told me he regretted the divorce. He wanted a second chance and even said he’d pursue me this
time,” Alyssa recounted.
She raised her chin and fixed her crystal-clear eyes on Jonah. “Jonah, what does that mean? Is that a love
confession?”
Liam and Sean retorted at the same time, “Nonsense!”
Then, they again scolded Jasper in unison, “That shameless bastard!”
Jonah blinked, his brows furrowing.
“Jonah, can you believe it? The man who destroyed my marriage now swears that he’s going after me. He
almost had me convinced,” Alyssa mused with a forced smile. 1
Her past self would have rejoiced. Now, she felt nothing but glum. It was like desiring a toy as a child but
losing interest when finally getting a better one as an adult.
Besides, what was Jasper’s reason to pursue her romantically? He did not even appreciate her efforts
when she was good to him. But now, he wanted a second chance when she treated him like scum.
“His love is worth nothing when it arrives late. His confession is nothing but garbage!” Liam seethed.
“Yeah. What did we really expect from him?” Sean agreed under his breath as he clutched the steering
wheel.

“Lyse, did you forget the pain from how he treated you when you gave your heart to him? He’s now feeling
upset and indignant when you reveal yourself to be the well-loved Alyssa Taylor, in all your glory.
“He probably wants you back just because he finally realized he was a fool. All he wants is to have you by
his side to stroke his ego. As a man, I understand his psychology all too well!” Liam accused Jasper with
a sullen face.
“I don’t think this has anything to do with his ego,” intervened Alyssa. “But you got one thing right. He’s
likely interested in me because he finds me more charming now. His attitude only changed after l
revealed my true identity.”

“Men can be quite shallow, seeking novelty,” Sean hissed. “He’s fallen for the new you after growing tired
of the ‘ladylike’ Liana. It’s just a change in taste for him. He went from liking poop to liking durian. He may
be chasing you today, but who’s to say he won’t pursue someone else tomorrow.”
Liam agreed with him, “Absolutely! Do not give a cheating man a second chance!”
Alyssa merely raised a brow in scrutiny. “I know you’re comparing Liana to poop, but please explain who
you’re drawing parallels to... the durian.”
Sean coughed awkwardly and explained, “I-It was just an analogy. I didn’t give it much thought.”
“What’s wrong with the durian? It’s called the ‘King of Fruits,’ and it does match your personality,” Jonah
interjected with a smile.
“But the durian is thorny and smelly!”
