Can’t Win Me Back

It was already past midnight when they arranged everything.

For the sake of Maggie's safety, Alyssa had intended for Maggie to live in her own house starting today

until the case against David Schmidt ended. For one, Maggie could be protected. Secondly, Alyssa

genuinely adored this unfortunate yet strong, young girl.

But Maggie insisted on going back home because of her mother's heart condition. She was worried her

mother might get a heart attack if she woke up from her sleep and did not see Maggie anywhere, not to

mention what might happen if her mother knew that Maggie had come to speak to them.

It was a good thing Maggie's mother hadn't contacted her that night. She must still be sleeping. It was

as if the heavens itself supported this strong, young girl's decision, too.

Xavier escorted Maggie to the car, treating her with utmost care throughout the process as if he had

Jasper walked out of the villa with Alyssa in his arms. He wiped away her tears and wrapped his hand

around her neck before kissing her on the forehead.

"It's late, Lyse. You've already yawned countless times, and your eyes can barely keep themselves

"You know exactly why I'm yawning so much." Alyssa pouted. "You exhausted me in the process of

rejuvenating yourself. I can't simply rest when I have the ability to fuel you with energy."

Confidence surged in Jasper's chest. Alyssa's exhaustion was her body's way of telling him how

satisfied with him she was.
