Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1688

Alyssa continued, "You could have just ordered takeout. Why bother tiring yourself out?"

"It's not tiring if it's for you." Jasper's sturdy arms wrapped around her slender waist. He looked at Axel gratefully. "Besides, I didn't do much. It was all Axel's work."

"Oh, make them crispy, Axel."

Axel clutched his chest, almost spitting blood into the pot. He didn't expect to experience Alyssa's favor for Jasper firsthand.

With Axel's efficient work and Jasper's assistance, two plates of golden fried chicken were soon placed on the table.

Meanwhile, Jasper's few failed attempts remained gloomily in the corner, like mistresses who couldn't be shown.

"Quick, Lyse, try my cooking."

Axel propped himself on the table, smiling as he watched Alyssa with anticipation. "It's been so long since I made fried chicken for you. Try it. See if my skills have deteriorated."

Alyssa grabbed a piece with her hand. She parted her crimson lips and took a big bite.

It was crunchy and flavorful.

"This is so good! Your cooking is still amazing, Axel!" Alyssa exclaimed, thoroughly satisfied.

A contented smile played on Axel's lips.

Suddenly, the image of a face similar to Alyssa's flashed through his mind.

"Don't eat that, Lyse." Jasper hurriedly caught her hand. "You don't have to force yourself to praise me. I know I didn't do a good job."

"No, you did it with your heart. How could it not be good?"

Alyssa picked up another piece and ate it, looking very content, without a hint of coercion. "Besides, whether it's burnt or golden, it all tastes the same once it's in your stomach. Right, Axel?"

Jasper smiled gently. Unable to resist, he placed a kiss between her oily lips.

Once again, Axel clutched his chest, feeling utterly helpless. He regretted coming back. He could have avoided watching the lovers' interaction.

"I can't eat so much. Oh, Silas and Cyrus are at home. I'll call them over to eat with us." With that, Alyssa picked up her phone.
