Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 221

Alyssa’s lashes fluttered. Jasper’s knowledge gave her the goosebumps.

“How did you know I am a size 5.5?”

He remained stoic. “Your feet look tiny. It was a blind guess.”

She curled her feet in the slippers awkwardly but did not forget to take a dig at him. “All

men are

the same. They’re either leering or openly touching the opposite S**.”

opposite S**.”

He went silent. Deep down, he knew he wasn’t being upfront. He learned about her shoe

size only

because he had carefully scrutinized every single item she left behind at Seaview Manor

He also learned that she had a stockpile of snacks at home, like a squirrel collecting nuts.

Most of

them are chocolates. Her favorite perfume was La fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens, which he

remembered well.

At first, he thought the spicy scent did not suit her. Looking back, he was wrong. The

arrogant and

intense scent was created just for her.

He learned about her shoe size. Her collection of white shoes was laid out cleanly on the

shoe

rack, as though she would return at any time.

She once accused him of not understanding her in disappointment. Therefore, he’d like to

get to

know her again in this manner.

They were silent during the two–hour trip. The Ferrari entered the grounds of Seaview

Manor and

parked in front of the entrance.

Jasper unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over to help Alyssa with hers.

She saw that coming from a mile away and blocked him with her arm. Her eyes screamed

aversion. “It’s fine. I can do it myself.”

He took his chance to unbuckle her seatbelt when she was distracted. “You’re welcome.”

She glowered at him, shocked at his speed. How could she have missed it?

Axel once told her that the average time assembling a gun was ten seconds in military

school, but

Jasper overheard the gossiping and turned to Alyssa with slight annoyance in his eyes. She

must

have heard the words as well, but she seemed unconcerned to the point that it bothered

him.

“Where’s my stuff?”

“In your room where you put them”

nagged at him with a frown.

Jasper’s ringing phone interrupted the conversation at a bad time. He realized that he had

an important call scheduled and informed her apologetically, “I need to take a call. I’ll be

back soon.”

“Suit yourself”

After he left in haste, she let out a long sigh and relaxed. It was an awkward trip for her.

+15 BONOS,

The two of them marched through the entrance. Gossip spread like wildfire among the

maids.

Oh, my God! Is there something wrong with my eyes? Did he bring home Madam Alice?”

“It is Madam Alice indeed! She’s glowing. Why would he divorce such a stunning beauty?”

“How do we address her? Madam Alice or Ms. White? This is bad. It’s all messed up.”

“Let’s go with Ms. White, or we might upset that Gardner girl. Who knows what trouble

we’ll get

into when she marries Mr. Jasper.”

“Right. She’s easily jealous, unlike our easygoing Ms. White.”

Things were different after the divorce. He had driven to Belbanks to pick her up, even

preparing high heels for her and helping her buckle her seatbelt with the attentiveness of

a newlywed.
