Can’t Win Me Back

News of Jonah and Julien secretly registering their marriage in Bernardia without their families' knowledge spread like wildfire.

Within a day, their entire family knew.

Although everyone had accepted Julien as Jonah's partner, they were still shocked to hear about the marriage between the two men.

The next evening, Jonah and Julien, hand in hand, went to see Winston and Mandy.

Alyssa and the other Taylor family members hurried over, fearing the couple would get a dressing down.

"This is a major event.

Why didn't the both of you inform Mandy and me?" As expected, Winston's displeasure was evident in his stern expression.

Julien, towering beside Jonah, shrank back, not daring to breathe.

He clung tightly to Jonah's hand, appearing entirely submissive.

"Dad, Mandy, this was all my idea," Jonah said firmly, intertwining his fingers with Julien's.

His protectiveness was evident.

"I planned everything behind Julien's back.

He had no clue about the proposal until the very last moment." "Blame me if you need to blame someone," he continued.

"Don't blame Julien.
