Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Xavier inhaled sharply and hurriedly replied, "No! Jetting around sounds cool, but there's no way I'm

risking my life for that!"

"Come on, Jasper. We all know Xavier's loyal. Why fuss over a jet?" cooed Alyssa as she brushed her

fingertip across Jasper's jawline. She squinted, looking regal and haughty. "I'll get you a better jet than

Jameson's for your birthday this year. How does that sound?"

Their exchange was envy-inducing. Alyssa was indeed a Taylor, having the wealth to buy a private jet

as a gift.

Jasper widened his eyes and held her hand with a straight face. "Lyse, I'm yours, but I'm not a kept

man. I should be the one who buys it for you."

"Pfft! Don't overthink it. Everything we own belongs to each other. Let's not waste time on nickel-and-

dime stuff," she remarked generously, much to the envy of Landon and Xavier.

Their interests lay not in a potential Sugar Mommy but in their shared enthusiasm for cars, tanks, and

jets.

Jasper shook his head bitterly. "Lyse, you don't have to buy me anything. You've given me enough. I

even have a room to keep all the gifts you've bought me. Every time I get home, I'll visit the room and

check out the gifts repeatedly."

During the time he lost Alyssa, he acted abnormally akin to a hoarder. He'd always stay in the room,

even spending nights in there.

He was known for his composure, but his longing for Alyssa drove him crazy in private. It was a

tumultuous period for him.

Staring affectionately at him, she caressed his cheek with trembling fingers, which betrayed the

calmness on her face.

Jasper added, "Besides, I don't need any gifts. You're the best gift I've ever had." It was not his first

time confessing to her, but every time, he said it with the same level of sincerity as the first.

"You fool..." Alyssa's voice trailed off. She expressed her love by sealing his lips with a kiss.

"Ahem! I must be an incredibly senseless guy. That doesn't sound at all romantic to me, just perverted,"

taunted Landon.

He had goosebumps from the thought of Jasper swooning over Alyssa's gifts.

They were interrupted by a flurry of urgent footsteps. Angelina dashed down the stairs and hurried to

Landon. "Mr. Harper, we found Inigo Montiye!"

"What? Did he show up?" Alyssa and Jasper sat upright at the same time, resembling each other in

their excited reaction. They finally tracked down the villain after searching high and low in Solana City.

Landon started blabbering due to the excitement, "S-So, where's that jerk right now? Have we not

taken him down?"

Angelina shook her head with a heavy expression. "My apologies, Mr. Harper. Inigo Montiye was not

alone. When we surrounded him, we got into a clash with his men and suffered injuries. Two of our

men are still in critical condition."

Alyssa and Jasper looked astonished by the development. Landon growled in disbelief, "We're in

Solana City, not Shelland Island! I can't believe that we got defeated on our own turf. Didn't they call for

reinforcements?"

"Of course they did, but it was too late!"
