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.

After all, he had had many chances to fall for her in the three years of marriage. It didn’t make sense for him to suddenly develop feelings now. That would be a ridiculously delayed response.

“Alyssa, at the end of the day, I am indebted to you. Ours might have been a paper marriage, but that was no excuse for my poor treatment of you,” he tried to explain his behavior. “So, if there’s a chance, I’d like to make it up to you.”

‘Make it up to me? Sure.” She cast him an indifferent glance. “How about you promise to keep out of my sight and stay out of my business? That’s all.”

He furrowed his brows, feeling like a sharp knife had pierced his gut.
