Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1458

"I'm doing really well." Rose's eyes narrowed as she flicked ash off her cigarette. "The world is my home. I have no family or kin to my name."

"What are you talking about? If you don't have family, who am I then?" Alyssa held Rose's arm lovingly. "The moment I become your mentor, you'll always be my… you know how it goes."

"Taking advantage of me now, aren't you?" Rose teasingly pinched Alyssa's chin with the hand holding her cigarette.

Rose had a natural physique, taller and broader than Alyssa. Their affectionate and teasing movements made quite the sight. They looked like a couple of lesbian lovers.

Meanwhile, Silas was in the crowd some distance away, watching Rose's every move.

He didn't like people who smoked. Every time Axel started smoking, Silas would try and find a way to snatch the cigarette away.

Yet for some reason, as Silas gazed at Rose holding the cigarette with her slender fingers, the smoke swirling around her face, and the relaxed look in her eyes, he couldn't help but be mesmerized by her.

Right now, Rose was the most stunning creature to Silas, especially while doing something he hated the most.

His breathing quickened. He quickly looked away and downed an entire glass of iced water from the table.

It had been some time since Silas had met Rose. They hadn't contacted one another prior, but Silas would look at her social media account nearly every single day. He had followed her and constantly paid attention to any updates from Rose.

Silas had thought he and Rose would naturally grow closer tonight because of what happened last time.

But Rose hadn't spoken to him nor so much as glanced at him.
