Can’t Win Me Back

A thick yet warm smoke enveloped them, and the stark contrast between the lively scene behind the

door and the desolation outside took Jasper aback. His reaction was visceral.

As he stared at the bustling living hall, his heart raced.

Seated on the couch were Tatiana and Julien, and alongside them was Rose, who had been studying

overseas and hadn't crossed paths with Jasper for several years. They were joyfully chatting while

skewering vegetables.

The kitchen buzzed with activity as Jonah, wearing an apron, showcased his culinary skills, with Cyrus

assisting in preparing barbecue sauce.

Silas and Sean were focused on putting meat on the skewers, their attention fixed on Tatiana and

Rose. Sean's concern for his girlfriend was evident, while Silas watched in helplessness as Rose

engaged in an animated conversation with Julien.

Silas sighed sadly, unsure of the unease he felt witnessing their interaction.

noticed the perfectly arranged food on Julien's skewer, resembling a carefully crafted assembly. She

couldn't resist showering him with praise.

"Really? I'm just putting the food on a stick," Julien replied nonchalantly, humming a tune as he
