Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277

Alyssa had always been like that. She would be completely focused on an object of her interest and fall into a world of her own.

Suddenly, it occurred to her that Jameson was waiting for her. She quickly spun around to find him patiently standing on the side, this time with a straw basket in his hand filled with pink roses that carried an understated beauty.

The breathtaking char m of the flowers reminded her of a quote from Wislawa Szymborska, which said, “Only a rose blooms as a rose, no one else.”

“Ms. Taylor,”Jameson addressed herwhile approaching with the flower basket.

“Oh, don’t step in here! Be careful not todirty your clothes!” she hurriedly stopped him when she noticed his sparkly clean outfit. However, he made his way through

 

the thorny shrubs in an attempt to get to her.

She pursed her lips in embarrassment.

“Ms. Taylor, this is for you.” His eyeswere as soft as the sunset colors when he handed her the basket.

“Thank you, but I can’t accept your gift,”she turned him down with a smile.

The basket might be a small gift, but she thought it would be inappropriate to accept roses from him, which appeared more like a symbol of courtship.

Her rejection was expected. He reframed his act with a smile.”A beauty like you is worthy of the roses. More importantly, I wanted to give you a basket of roses for your research because you seemed interested in them.

“The roses come with soil. You can plantthem in your garden and keep them blooming year-round with proper care.”

 

Upon hearing that, Alyssa had no reason to turn down his rose basket. After some deliberation, she caved in and took it from him.”Well, thank you, then.”

Suddenly, he frowned and bent toward her. She blinked in surprise, holding her breath as his face loomed before her.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on myface?”
