Can’t Win Me Back

"Aren't you curious what I told Jameson after barging into his plane?" Alyssa resisted the entire day and eventually decided to ask.

Jasper smiled lightly. "Why? Are you afraid I would be jealous?"

"Pfft! If you would get jealous of someone like him, you are basically questioning my character." Alyssa poked his chest hard with her fingertip.

"Before this, I was really jealous when I saw both of you together." Jasper's eyes reddened slightly. He lifted her hand and planted a warm kiss on her palm.

"I know. It was so obvious. I'm not blind."

Alyssa pouted as a light sense of uneasiness appeared on her face. "At that time, you and I just divorced, so I had accumulated so much anger at you. I was overjoyed when I saw you getting angry.

"I thought I was different from other women. Divorce wasn't a big deal. I thought I could let it go as easily as getting divorced. Then, I finally understood the joy I felt seeing you angry didn't stem from the satisfaction of getting revenge—it was the feeling that you still cared."

It was 13 years of pursuing, crushing on, and obsessing.

It was impossible to let it go that easily.
