Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 392

As Alyssa was no longer in love with Jasper, she shed off any pretense of a demure lady and doubled over in laughter.

“Why would I be upset over nothing? I’m a Taylor. It’s hard to faze me. Don’t you think you’ve underestimated me?”

“That’s good to hear.” Jasper looked glad.

“Why did you come all this way to tell me that? Alyssa wondered, never once considering that he might have done so out of love for her.
