Can’t Win Me Back

On their way to their destination, Alyssa stared out the window. She didn’t glance at Jasper.

Obviously, she was being hostile to him.

Jasper kept glancing at Alyssa from time to time. There were times when he wanted to ask her a

question, but he found it difficult to speak up.

Newton’s villa was located in Crescent Bay in Solana City. Stretches of mountains surrounded the area, making it tranquil and scenic. The neighborhood was like a paradise hidden from the rest of

the city.

“Grandpa, I’m here to visit you!”

Alyssa smiled brightly the moment she stepped into the villa. Her clear voice was akin to a nightingale’s sweet call.

Truthfully speaking, she was a little worried because of what happened to the bracelet. She had to spend a long time mustering her courage. Then, she finally walked through the front door.

“You’re here, Alice! I missed you so much!” Newton exclaimed from his wheelchair. Ben was wheeling him out.

The old man perked up instantly when he finally saw his granddaughter–in–law. The delight on

his face was undeniable.

“Where did you go, Alice? Are you planning to abandon me? Do you not love me anymore?”

Newton clutched Alyssa’s hand tightly while flooding her with questions.
