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.

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

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

His protectiveness was evident.

"I planned everything behind Julien's back.
