Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 826
“Got it, Jonah. You don’t have to come pick me up. I’ll drive back later,” Alyssa said.
It was nighttime at Belbanks. A sleek black Maserati raced through the rear entrance of Heightsnew Villa,
executing a stylish drift before smoothly coming to a stop in the backyard.
After being absent for six months, Axel emerged from the car and headed straight for Jonah, who had
been patiently waiting.
“Jonah! I missed you so much!”
“Me too.”
Jonah and Axel exchanged a high-five. Jonah then looked toward the tinted car window and asked, “Is
Mr. Lovelace inside the car?
“Exactly,” Axel smirked, “He’s not very cooperative.”
“Even the most dishonest person would probably be truthful when encountering you.”
Jonah’s gentle eyes flashed with a trace of worry as he asked. “But you didn’t harm him, did you?”
“In what way? Physically, no, but does emotional harm count?”
Jonah was rendered speechless by Axel’s reply.
Axel suddenly looked pained. He exclaimed, “Damn! I need to peel I need to use the toilet right away!
Jonah, wait for me!”
Before finishing his sentence, Axel had already sprinted away with his legs crossed.
Jonah shook his head with a wry smile. “What has he been doing for the past few years wandering
overseas? His kidneys seemed to be worse than before.”

After a while, Jonah noticed the car not far away, rocking a few times before it became still.
Curiosity getting the better of him, he approached the car
As he approached the front of the car, he heard movement from inside, the sound intensifying as if
someone had detected footsteps outside.
Jonah squinted. Unable to resist his curiosity, he pulled open the car door.
In the next moment, he was thoroughly surprised!
In the car’s back seat, a tall man over six feet was lying horizontally, hands and feet bound. His mouth was tightly taped shut,
and the only sounds he could make were muffled protests.
He looked both resentful and pitiful.
Jonah wondered if that man was Julien Lovelace.
Jonah stood in surprise for a moment before he crouched down. He braced himself with his left arm on the seat and removed the
tape from Julien’s mouth with his right hand.
Julien struggled to catch his breath.
His captivating fox-like visage was adorned with a subtle sheen of sweat, lending him an enchanting
androgynous allure.
His skin resembled premium porcelain, boasting a flawless and fair complexion. The allure of his captivating appearance was
accentuated by his rosy, soft lips, surpassing the beauty of most women.
Yet, what captivated Jonah the most were those doe-like eyes.
From the depths of his black pupils, he glimpsed a long-lost, pristine soul that never failed to stir his spirit
and body, regardless of the passage of time.
As

s their eyes locked, time appeared to freeze.
“Hey, why did you pull so hard? Do you realize you’ve hurt my face?” Julien glared at Jonah in irritation, yet
his eyes seemed transfixed on this handsome face, unable to look away.
“Sorry,” Jonah genuinely apologized.
“Hurry up and untie me!”
Julien kicked his legs.
“The blood in my whole body can’t circulate! I’m suffocating!”
“No, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
“What?”
“Wait for Axel to come and release you.”
Jonah locked eyes with him, and a faint smile played on his lips.
