Can’t Win Me Back

In the street from across the police station, Alyssa had waited for a while in Jasper's arms.

Nestling against him softly, she sweated as she reported, "I received a text from Cyrus. He said he had

asked a few close colleagues to keep tabs on the case. As of just now, apart from David Schmidt's

attorney, no one from the Schmidt family has attempted to defend him. They did not make any moves

at all."

It so happened that Alyssa was on her second day of the period, which was usually the worst. Jasper

had advised her to stay home, but she was stubborn. Now, suffering from period cramps, she wiggled

in his arms like an eel.

She silently thought, "Guess I need to listen to Jasper for once and take a good rest."

"Josh always plays long-term. All he wants right now is to hide away, I bet. There's no way he would

defend a notorious and hopeless villain. He would only turn himself the next target of public wrath."

Holding her in his right arm, he placed a hand on her lower abdomen and caressed it in circles in a

clockwise direction.

"Mm. Harder. Mm. Harder, please..."

Hearing that, he swallowed hard. A tingling sensation spread through his body from the fingertips in

contact with her skin. He said hoarsely, "See? You're suffering from your stubbornness. I'll have Xavier
