Can’t Win Me Back

Winston said, "Everything else aside, there was one thing Lyse said that hurt me. She said that I had never known what her mother wished for..."

Winston closed his eyes slowly. Tears moistened his long lashes, casting a sense of loneliness under the street lights.

"Who else in this shitty world, other than myself, would understand her?" asked Winston.

"Mr. Taylor, Ms. Alyssa is young. She hasn't experienced many of the things you've been through, so she's still ignorant." Neil let out a long sigh. "If she gets a chance to know everything about Mrs. Taylor in the future, she will come to understand your good intentions."

After Winston left, Angelina accompanied Lauren upstairs to rest. Alyssa and Cyrus sat in the living room to chat.

"I wasn't the tattletale, Lyse. I swear!" Cyrus exclaimed with three of his fingers lifted.

"I know. We Taylors are not such jackasses. Even Liam, who hates Jasper the most, would never use such a cheap method to pressure us via Winston."

Alyssa's gaze was steady. She trusted her family members unconditionally.

Cyrus stroked his chin and wondered, "You have both been staying here recently. If Winston knew about it in the first place, he would have turned up long ago.
