Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1031

"I'm your brother, for heaven's sake! How could you go physical on me? You nearly broke my ribs," Axel grumbled and pouted.

He'd never show this side of his character to anyone but his brother.

Jonah remarked, "That was a punishment for running your mouth. Hope you learned your lesson."

"Gosh. I was joking. Don't you have a sense of humor?" Then, Axel stole a glance at his crotch and scoffed unhappily.

Like any man, he was oddly competitive over everything.

"By the way, isn't Lyse bored out of the mind, staying by Jasper's side? She doesn't eat, drink, sleep, or check her phone at all," Axel asked with curiosity.

"No. You'll never be bored when you stay by your lover's side."

Axel frowned at the reply. "I don't get it …"

"Axel, we've always felt you were the smartest amongst the few of us, but you're slow when it comes to matters of the heart. I bet you still can't grasp the meaning of being deeply in love with someone," Jonah commented.

With that, he lapsed into deep thoughts. Some vague memories resurfaced. He added, "You won't be lonely, even if all you have is a photo of your love."

They heard footsteps approaching them. Looking up, Jonah saw Julien heading toward him, hands in the pockets of his white coat.

As Julien smiled, his eyes shone brightly, like a ray of light illuminating Jonah's soul's deepest corners.
