Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1771

"The Millennium is the only place I've learned how to live in. Besides, it's the most suitable place for someone like me. I don't need any other options," Amber said.

She needed to distance herself from Axel before it was too late.

"What if I wanted to take you with me? Would you come with me if I could bring you somewhere Jameson or his friends could never find you?" Axel gazed seriously at Amber.

"No," Amber said without hesitation, a pitiful smile on her face. "I live and die as Mr. Jameson's puppet."

Axel slowly straightened up, the desire in his eyes fading away. He unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt and said, "I understand now. In that case, let's just get on with things."

"What… things?" Amber hadn't yet caught up with Axel's pace.

"Well, we're alone in a hotel room late at night. What things do you think we could do? Play cards?" Axel's gaze was cold, with no trace of tenderness in them anymore. "Do you want to shower first or should I? Or should we shower together?"

Amber closed her eyes and shook her head. "I'll go now and not trouble you further."

She then turned to leave. But Axel grabbed her by the waist, pulling her back to him. "What is it? Are you upset? How can we sleep together if we don't clean up?"

"I don't have the right to be upset," Amber said bitterly. "Do you really want to sleep with a woman like me, Mr. Whitaker? I'll never be fully clean no matter how many times I bathe myself."

Axel smiled lightly and said, "I know exactly what kind of woman you are. Haven't I proven that I don't care given I've taken you out of there?"

"But I care!" Amber yelled, unable to hold back anymore.

In the end, Amber and Axel slept together. Amber slept on the hotel bed while Axel lay on the couch.

He hadn't intended to have sex with Amber at all.

They remained apart while resting. Amber's heels were placed by the bed while she lay on the mattress. An awkward silence filled the air.

Amber's plan to stay awake the entire night failed when she fell asleep.

Axel, however, stared fixedly at the ceiling, not sleepy in the slightest bit.
