Chapter 158
When the door opened, Landon slid into the living room speedily, worried that Alyssa might change her mind. “Gosh, it’s so hard to visit you. The entrance fee is pretty exorbitant.”
Under the lights, Alyssa’s curves were accentuated by the tight robe on her body. Her tiny waist and buttery skin were luscious. He swallowed hard upon casting his eyes on her.
“Mr. Harper, your eyes are wandering elsewhere,” Sean reminded him with much hostility.
“It’s human nature to love beauty. I’m looking at her with the sole intention of admiring an artwork,” he grinned and talked his way out of it shamelessly.
It was the first time Sean had come across a man who’d reframe his inappropriate behavior into something noble.
“Is LAN’s sculpture in this box?” She stared keenly at the box in his arms.
“Yes. I bought two sculptures from her–one for Jasper’s grandpa and the other for you.” His eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. “Alice, LAN’s artworks are handmade. She’ll only put ten items on sale every year. You know how rare her works are, don’t you?”
Alyssa coughed softly. “Um, have you had dinner? If you haven’t, would you like to join me?”
“I haven’t! I didn’t even take a drop of water because I waited at the hotel entrance for you since 5:00 pm! I’m famished.” Landon’s voice quivered in excitement.
Sean rolled his eyes at Landon, who was overly eager and unabashed.
“Sean, get him another blue cheese chicken sandwich. Go heavy on the blue cheese, Alyssa instructed Sean while carefully taking the box from Landon and walking to the living room.
“Uh, blue cheese?” Landon paled. Not only that, she had specifically requested for more cheese. Was she planning to make him suffer?
“Looks like you’re unhappy with our hospitality,” Sean mocked the ashen–faced Landon. “I bet our menu is too plebeian for you. You must have been eating caviar and truffle with your meals.”
“No! That’s nonsense! Don’t slander me. I’ll take the sandwich.” Landon bit the bullet but tried to reason with Alyssa with a bitter smile, “C-
Can I have the sandwich without the extra blue cheese?”
His voice faded. He looked like a pitiful little girl.
She turned around and chuckled with narrowed eyes. “Sure. Whatever you like.”
Landon almost stopped breathing at the sight of her smile as fireworks went off in his mind. He finally understood the power of a beautiful
smile.
While Sean was busy getting dinner ready, Alyssa and Sean admired LAN’s artwork in the living room. It was an exquisite sculpture of a
hand holding a flower in full bloom.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
