Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 54

Alyssa wasn’t in the mood to go to the hotel. She decided to head home. Sean remained silent for a long time. Finally, he asked, “Ms. Alyssa, does Jasper still not know that you are the heiress of the Taylor family?”

“Yeah,” Alyssa replied softly, looking melancholic.

Sean understood. No wonder she asked for a stand–in when Jasper visited her last time.

“Sean, I didn’t mean to keep it from you …”

“I understand.” Sean interrupted.

Alyssa raised her brows in astonishment.

“Who wants to dredge up heartache? Naturally, I prefer to keep it locked away, never to be touched again. I was just concerned about you. I worried Mr. Taylor would feel heartbroken and upset if he ever found out,” Sean continued. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as his eyes glistened with moisture.

Alyssa was the center of the family’s universe, beloved by all. But to her dismay, she had been mistreated by that despicable scoundrel, Jasper. If Winston were to find out, he’d probably be so furious that he’d wield a fifty–meter–long sword in his rage.
