Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2074

Julien beamed from ear to ear. "Hi, Aunt Mandy, Madam Lyla and Madam Colene. Hey, Taty."

"Where are you going, Jul?" Tatiana's eyes were wide with curiosity.

"There's a famous brand of desserts at Bernardia. I wanted to buy some back for everyone to have a taste."

"Yay! We get to have desserts, thanks to Jonah." Tatiana clapped her hands in joy.

She really didn't treat him like an outsider. She simply spoke her thoughts.

A sheepish smile flashed across Julien's face. He waved and headed off while humming a tune.

When he brushed past Mandy, her sharp senses detected that peculiar scent from Julien.

As she lifted her eyes, she caught a glance of his chest underneath his V-necked T-shirt. The faint, red marks on his chest made her blush!

Mandy exhaled and remarked, "Young men are physically fitter indeed." She picked up her cup of tea and took a sip. She let out a cryptic smile.

"What did you say, Mandy?" Lyla looked at Mandy with a confused look on her face. She didn't catch Mandy's comment.

Mandy waved her hand awkwardly. She chuckled, "It's nothing. Have some tea, have some tea!"

…

Before coming to Bernardia, Jonah mentioned that there was a local, award-winning dessert shop with delicious desserts. Although he had only said it in passing, Julien had made a mental note of it.

He wanted to buy their desserts tonight so that he could give Jonah a small surprise when they got up tomorrow morning.

The dessert shop was a small one. On top of that, Julien was in a foreign land. He had to brave the chilling wind for a long while before he managed to locate the shop.

By the time he entered the shop, his ears had turned red from the cold, and his fingers were stiff.

He selected a fair amount of desserts to his heart's content and settled the bill. Then, with two large bags of desserts in his hands, he walked toward the door with glee.

"Ah!"
