Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 220

Immediately, Jasper reached for the seatbelt and helped Alyssa fasten it.

She clenched her jaw and flinched as though she was in contact with filth. "Where are you bringing me?"

"Last night, we agreed on picking up your stuff from my place today." He let go of her and leisurely placed his hands on the steering wheel.

"I will be there. You didn't have to pick me up!"

"I don't trust you." He started the engine and stole a glance at her. "You're a bloody good liar. How many times did you lie to me in the past three years? Were you ever honest with me?"

"Had I never?" She smirked. "Think what you want. It doesn't matter."

Her words were like bullets to his chest. He felt chills in his body. Sometimes, he'd rather she had never fallen for him. At least, he wouldn't have felt guilty for his poor treatment of her.

The Ferrari sped on the highway as the scenic view passed them by in a blur.

Since Alyssa could not escape, she decided to take things as they came. She crossed her arms and had a comfortable shut-eye after adjusting her seat.

She'd rather keep him out of her sight.

"I'm sorry about that." He tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

"About what?"

Something was not quite right with Jasper ever since the divorce. He was stubborn as a donkey in the past, but now, he would own up to his mistakes.

She couldn't help but wonder if Liana had given him lessons on manners.

"I did not know that Jonah was your brother."

"Ignorance is not a sin. You're forgiven." She was indifferent toward the matter.

"Why didn't you explain yourself?" He examined her soft and lovely side profile.

He pursed his lips while digging his fingernails into the steering wheel's leather. "I did not deliberately look into him. When I fought him the last time, I thought he looked familiar, from his appearance to his skills.

"I went through the yearbook of my military school and found his photo there. It was then I realized he was an old schoolmate."

She pettily looked out of the window and ignored him. He glanced at her and called Xavier, not forgetting to set the call to speaker mode.

"Hi, Mr. Beckett. Any orders?" Xavier picked up right away.

"Get a pair of heels for Ms. Alyssa Taylor. Pick a pair from Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, or Manolo Blahnik that suits her style. Send them to Seaview Manor."

Alyssa glared at his calm expression. The brands he rattled off were her usual favorites.

"Yes! I'll get them ready for madam!" Xavier sounded overjoyed that one might think he was about to get married.

Jasper stared at her feet with a gleam in his eyes. "Her shoe size is 5.5. Get that right."
