Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1255

Axel narrowed his eyes. "You're not here specifically for me, are you?"

Amber ran her finger in slow, circular motions along his firm chest. "You should believe that we were able to meet previously because of fate, mister."

Axel raised his brow. "I see. It was fated indeed."

"Thank you for helping me the last time."

Amber wrapped his black necktie around her hand. Her soft skin was brushing against his body.

With a longing gaze, she looked at him and said, "I have been hoping to see you again. I was hoping to repay you."

Axel's eyes turned dim.

His searching eyes made her feel nervous. Yet, she tried her best to control herself.

He had eagle eyes. They were like lie detectors. Strangely enough, he actually felt that her words sounded genuine at that moment.

"Tell me, then. How were you thinking of repaying me, hmm?" Axel broke into a sly smile as he moved his lips closer to her.

Amber's heart thundered in her chest. A light shade of pink colored her cheeks as she blushed shyly. "That is up to you. Tonight… I will go with whatever you say."

Amber was gobsmacked in the next second. It was the last thing she had expected. To her surprise, the compensation that Axel mentioned was a game of Jenga!

"We'll remove one block each in turns. Whoever loses has to down three shots as a penalty. Are you up for the challenge, Ms. Altman?"

With one hand supporting his chin, Axel gently placed the last block of wood on the top of the block tower.

At the same time, the bartender had brought three bottles of the best XO cognac to them.

Amber stared blankly at Axel. With the appearance of a game segment, her original plan had undoubtedly been messed up.

"Oh, I forgot that spirits are not good for women's health. Let's make it three shots for me but one for you."

Axel's eyes were as attractive and deep as the ocean. "Are you up for the challenge, Ms. Altman?"

"Let's do it."

Amber took a deep breath. She stretched her fingers as she said, "I won't go back on my words."

The game began.

Ever since he was young, Axel was quick-witted. Out of all the children in the Taylor family, he was the one who was the most skilled at all sorts of games. And the game that he often played with Alyssa as a kid was Jenga.
