Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1457

"Behave," Jonah rasped out, though his expression was solemn.

Julien cocked his head and grinned a devastatingly beautiful smile. "No, I won't."

Meanwhile, Jasper seemed to be in an excellent mood. He hadn't backed down after taking on the challenge of downing several rounds of alcohol. After toasting everyone, Jasper began a one-on-one drinking duel with Axel.

He didn't usually drink alcohol. He was only doing so mainly because he didn't want Alyssa's brothers to think he was a coward. After all, he was Alyssa's man.

"Do you know what my nickname is?" Axel draped his arm over Jasper's shoulder as he topped up the latter's wine glass. "They call me the Son of Spirits, never getting drunk no matter how much I drink. I'm worried you'll ruin your family's pride if you try competing with me."

Jasper looked down at his full glass of wine and smiled lightly. "In my experience, Axel, the ones who try to make themselves look tough at the start are the ones who fall first later on. No matter though, since you're drinking in the comforts of your own home. Your family will care for you no matter how drunk you get."

"I don't need no one to take care of me!" Axel glared at Jasper and clinked his wine glass with the latter's, making wine splash out some. "I'm going to drink this now. You do so whenever you're ready!"

While more drinks were being poured at this end, Rose had caged Alyssa against a wall somewhere else.

She slyly asked, "Why's your waist so tender, Madam? Your voice is rather raspy, too. Say, what were you up to with Jasper earlier when you two went missing?"

Alyssa blushed and cleared her throat. "N-Nothing much."

That horndog!

Jasper knew exactly where Alyssa's erogenous spots were, yet he'd continued caressing them and torturing her.

Alyssa ended up soaking her clothes and ruining her makeup because of it. In the end, Alyssa had to panic and leave in a hurry to tend to the guests, while Jasper behaved coolly as if nothing had happened.

Alyssa was so frustrated.

The two women stood in silence for some time.

Rose then took an exquisitely crafted cigarette pack from her bag and placed a cigarette between her lips.

"Gone back to smoking again?" Alyssa asked.

"Why do you make it sound like I'm a drug addict? It's just a cigarette." Rose chuckled.

The warm night lights cast their glow on Alyssa's face, highlighting her features, which were twisted with worry and concern.

"Have you been doing well lately, Rose? Has your family caused any trouble for you?" Alyssa knew Rose was from the Emerson family and the risky situation Rose was in, which was why she worried for Rose.
