Without waiting for Carl to respond, Amber lowered her head timidly. "If it's a no, then… forget about it."
"It's just driving a car. No problem."
Carl didn't know how he should react. He lifted his hand and caressed the top of her head.
"I may not have command over the major things, but I can still make decisions over small matters like this. If no one drives that high-end Ferrari Mr. Schmidt gifted you, it will eventually be scrapped. That was also Mr. Schmidt's kind gesture toward you. Don't waste it. Drive it."
Amber beamed. Yet, that alluring smile of hers was not reflected in her eyes.
She drove her red sports car toward Solana City's largest antique jewelry gallery. They planned to get a birthday gift for Jameson from there.
A crystal oil burner caught Amber's eye. The shop owner sang praises of her for having a good eye.
She smiled sweetly. Just as she was about to swipe her card, Carl jumped ahead and paid seven million dollars without batting an eyelid.
"We've agreed that this will be my gift to Mr. Schmidt…"Amber furrowed her brows uneasily.
"It doesn't matter who pays for it. It's the same coming from either of us."
Carl smiled at her as he returned his black card to his wallet. "I'm glad that you are being considerate of Mr. Schmidt. Even if it's 70 million dollars instead of seven million, I'm more than happy to pay for it. Plus, it's difficult for you to save up that bit of money. Just keep it."
They left the gallery. Amber drove herself and Carl in her bright red sports car back to The Millennium.
Carl seemed to be transfixed by her the entire way. His eyes were fixed on her the whole time. She didn't dare to make any suspicious moves.
She maintained her usual expression. However, she gripped the steering wheel so tightly that she might almost crush it.
Tonight was her final and only chance!
If she still didn't get it, Jameson would surely continue keeping her captive once he was discharged from the hospital. He might even make her disappear from Solana City without a trace!
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Amber's face.

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...
