Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2264

Jonah? There was a mystery surrounding Jonah?

Every word was like a blooming poppy, drawing Julien in, tempting him to the point where it was difficult to resist. But that was only because of how deeply he loved Jonah.

And that love was the chink in Julien's armor, leaving him vulnerable to manipulation.

In the end, Julien wavered. In a heavy voice, he asked, "How long will this take? I need to go home to celebrate my lover's birthday."

"It'll be quick."

Uri Holland shut his gloomy eyes. He turned to his side and slipped a hand into his pocket. He gestured to Julien. "Let's take my car. This way."

…

As the black vehicle sped through the dark winter night, colorful lights flashed past them on both sides.

Seated in the passenger seat, Julien held onto that bouquet of white roses in his arms as he gazed out the window with a restless, doubtful expression.

As Uri drove, he glanced at Julien's strikingly handsome, almost ethereal face as he drove, his gaze unreadable.

"What's your name?" Julien asked, trying to gather some sense of security from the man's identity. Not knowing anything left him uneasy.

Uri directed his gaze away from Julien and looked straight ahead. Tightening his grasp on the steering wheel, he answered, "My name is Uri Holland. Spelled U-R-I."

Julien mentally repeated the name. Then, he asked, "You know Jonah? How did you guys meet? Do you have a grudge against him? Or is it some kind of resentment?"

Uri did not look at him again or answer any of his questions.

An hour later, the black car pulled into a deserted courtyard and stopped in front of an abandoned villa.
