Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1704

Alyssa waved dismissively. "If I take the hotel, it would definitely strain your relationship with your father. I wouldn't want that on my conscience."

Jasper ran a hand over her head, torn between amusement and exasperation.

"Any news from Silas? Did he meet Rose yet?" Alyssa's voice bubbled with excitement. "Don't tell me they succumbed to their desires and got busy with some 'adult activities.'" She squirmed playfully in his arms.

Jasper, however, took her inappropriate thoughts seriously. "In broad daylight? Highly unlikely. Besides, it's Silas' first date. Doubt he'd be that… bold, would he?"

"Oh, Silas is plenty daring," Alyssa countered. "It's that stuffy prosecutor uniform that's holding back his wild side."

With a playful grin, she flipped them over, pinning him beneath her. Her fingertip teased his Adam's apple. "Besides, who says broad daylight matters? As long as a guy knows his surroundings when he's turned on, right? Can men even tell time down there?"

Jasper swallowed hard, his gaze deepening. Deeply smitten, he interpreted Alyssa's words as a clear invitation. His hand, seemingly of its own accord, began a slow ascent up her thigh.

The burgeoning sexual tension was abruptly shattered by the shrill ring of Alyssa's phone.

She answered, draping her arm around his neck. "Silas, finally! Did you meet Rose?"

"Lyse, get Jasper and come outside. We're right here."

…

Walking out of Heightsnew Villa, hand-in-hand, their eyes widened in shock at the sight before them.

Under the scorching sun, Silas tenderly held Rose close, their lips meeting in a fervent kiss, oblivious to everything around them.

Alyssa couldn't contain her excitement and let out a joyful shriek.

Alyssa's shrieks shattered the tender moment. Rose, flushed crimson, immediately pushed Silas away.

Feeling Alyssa's hand quiver with excitement, Jasper gave it a squeeze. "Calm down. Seems you've startled Rose a bit."

"I can't help it! A new sister-in-law!" Alyssa squealed as she punched Jasper's chest playfully.

Silas tightened his grip on Rose's hand, his tone earnest as he spoke. "I'll personally inform Dad. It's a gesture of sincerity and respect toward Rose."

Rose felt her eyes welling up with tears at his words.

Everyone admired her talent, but she felt her personality held her back. Despite her gifts, most people didn't quite hold her in high regard.

Apart from Alyssa, Silas was the second person who loved and respected her. She never knew someone like her could be loved too.

Being loved was such a happy feeling.

"Since you're here, give a tour of our house to Rose, Silas," Alyssa chirped. She couldn't wait to introduce Rose to everyone in her family.

"Not today, Lyse." Silas knew he just won over Rose's heart, so he wanted to be careful and take things slow. She would feel pressured if things moved too fast.

He elaborated, "Rose and I came to see you because Rose has something important to tell you."
