Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 120

Alyssa hastily went to the underground parking lot.

“M–Ms. White! Alice!” Landon ran up to her and held her by the wrist. She spun around and cast an indifferent gaze at him.

“Let go.”

“What’s wrong? Is it because of Jasper?” His throat tightened as he apologized gently, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know he’d be here. Had I known, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”

Alyssa was riddled with heartache when she thought of the box that Jasper had wanted to give her. She didn’t need him to make up to her.

“Here. I’m returning this.” She lowered her neck and took off the necklace, which she returned to Landon. “Anyway, thanks for the gift, Sorry, but I can’t accept it.”

He was struck by her change of mind. “Were you taking advantage of me just now?”

“Sorry.” Gloom crept over her face.

Instead of feeling angry, Landon felt bad for her. He could tell that she needed more time to get over Jasper. No matter how long that’d take, he was willing to wait for her.

“It’s fine. It’s not a big deal. You turned down Jasper’s gift as well. So I don’t feel too bad about this. “He waved and clutched the necklace tightly in his hand.

“Mr. Harper, you’re a decent guy. At least, you are more carefree and observant than Jasper in many ways. You might look like a fuckboy, but you can be very thoughtful and doting.

“You deserve a better woman, and you should spend your time on her.” She softened up because of the guilt she carried.

“Well, that woman has shown up. She’s closer than I thought!” He stared at her with passion as he huffed and puffed.

“I appreciate that.” She smiled and left the scene with poise.

Landon stood on the ground, feeling helpless and bitter. Did she just turn down his confession? It certainly felt like that.

As night settled in, Landon was at one of ACE’s corridors. He had requested the manager to clear the venue for him and Jasper, who was in a foul mood that night.

Sitting by the bar, Jasper looked lonely and hostile, causing the bartender to stay away from him
