Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1700

Rose stood behind Silas, her heart initially unsettled. Her lips were pressed thinly together.

However, she nearly broke into a smile after hearing Silas' remark.

Silas possessed a formidable ability to dismantle a convict in court and ruthlessly exploit someone's vulnerabilities with his words.

"Nonsense! I've never had my face done!" Lydia retorted, hastily covering her stiffened face, a mix of shame, anger, and guilt consuming her.

Silas shook his head. "It's not your fault for aging, but it's not right to run around scaring people off with that face either."

Lydia seethed with outrage, feeling her blood boil at his audacity.

"Who are you to Rose?" Jamie interjected, clinging to her mother and demanding an answer.

"Who am I to Rose?" Silas mused, touching the inside of his cheek with his tongue before turning to Rose with a serious expression. "Ms. Emerson, she wants to know my role in your life."

Rose met his gaze, her heart pounding in her chest.

"If you don't say anything, then I'll take the liberty of calling myself your boyfriend," Silas announced with a wide smile, a gentle glint in his eyes.

"What?" Lydia's and Jamie's jaws dropped.

How could this sophisticated man be Rose's boyfriend?

Rose's cheeks flushed instantly. She looked down shyly, afraid to look at him.

Silas' expression softened as he reached for her cold hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.

"I didn't intervene when you were bullying Rosie earlier because I wanted to witness the extent of your cruelty and shamelessness. I wanted to see just how low you could stoop," Silas remarked coolly, his demeanor exuding a chilling presence.

"And you didn't disappoint me. It's truly eye-opening to see both of you devils in action," he added, his eyes narrowing slightly.
