Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2266

Uri pressed on, "More than that, how absurd is it that he found a ridiculous substitute like you? Did he truly think that he was so deeply in love with Blake? Was it because his love for Blake was so unforgettable that he needed someone to ease his lovesickness?"

Substitute, substitute, substitute!

The word sliced through Julien's suffocated heart like a sharp knife.

He had never dared to hope he would be the only one Jonah ever loved. But it would be enough for him to be Jonah's last. He didn't care about the past. Yet, what he couldn't bear was that it was his face—so similar to Jonah's ex-lover—that had drawn Jonah in and made him fall in love.

Uri laughed mockingly. "If I had the chance, I'd ask Judas if he was being fair to Blake by finding a new lover. I'd want to know if he was being fair to you by making you Blake's substitute."

His laughter was so hysterical that tears streamed down his face.

In an extremely sarcastic tone, he continued, "I doubt Jonah feels he made a mistake. He's an arrogant, crazed, and heartless man, willing to do anything to get what he wants. Dr. Lovelace, Judas has been scheming against you for a long time."

He had been scheming against him for a long time?

To hell with those schemes!

Julien staggered back. His moistened eyes became bloodshot. The look in his eyes dimmed as he sank heavily to his knees.

…

Seconds and minutes passed, and it was well past 8:00 pm.

For Julien's convenience, Jonah had purchased a four-story villa in a quiet, private area near the center of Solana City. This was their home and his small gift to Julien.

That night, Jonah went to buy two full bags of ingredients and a bottle of fine red wine. He then prepared dinner personally.

Even though it was his birthday, every dish he made was to Julien's preference. He never considered himself—Julien was all that mattered to him.

As he served the delectable dishes to the dining table, he was filled with bliss despite being covered in sweat.

He waited and waited, but Julien still had yet to come home. He knew Julien was a workaholic, often losing track of time when busy. But tonight was special; he had promised not to work late.
