Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2099

The cloudless sky was a brilliant blue.

After a long drive, the luxury car came to a stop outside a private manor.

"We're here," Jonah announced.

Jonah's broad frame dwarfed Julien's as he reached across to unbuckle Julien's seatbelt.

All he felt was that the atmosphere around him was warm. It felt even warmer than sunshine.

"Why isn't there anyone around? We're not in the wrong place, are we?" Julien blinked, a flicker of unease crossing his features.

Julien was intelligent, but around his lover, his mind seemed to cloud over. Jonah easily manipulated him, taking advantage of Julien's lovestruck state.

"We're not. Maybe we're just early. Let's go."

Jonah exited the car first, then circled around to open the door for Julien. This grand gesture left Julien speechless. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"Why are you acting so attentive, Mr. Taylor? People aren't usually this nice without an ulterior motive."

Jonah took Julien's hand and helped him out. He then gave Julien a tug, and their tall forms pressed together as if trying to be one.

"Do you find it so hard to trust me?" Jonah's warm breath tickled Julien's ear. "I guess calling you 'Foxy' is apt. Your head is full of tangled thoughts."

Julien couldn't stand it; he flushed, his fair skin turning crimson. He mumbled into Jonah's chest, "It's not that... I've just been played by so many people in the past. It's wonderful to have someone treat me so well. But sometimes… it also feels a little surreal."

Jonah's grip tightened around Julien's waist.

The truth was, before getting together with Julien, Jonah had sent people to Mosgravia to investigate Julien's background. However, it wasn't out of suspicion or apprehension but a desire to understand him better.

Then, to his surprise, this seemingly flirtatious man was the one who was always hurt in relationships. He was either cheated out of money, tricked into intimacy, or betrayed.
