Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 950

Mandy couldn't stop worrying. She said, "Jonah, you must come with us. No matter what happens, we have to do everything we can to protect Lyse. We can't let her be harassed by anyone!"

"Of course. Thank you for letting me know, Mandy."

After Jonah left the study, Mandy entered the room.

"What happened earlier, Julien? Did you and Jonah have an argument?"

Julien bent down to pick up the books that had fallen onto the floor, one by one. He had his back against Mandy.

"No, we didn't. It was nothing," he said in a dejected voice.

"Don't lie to me. I could hear all the commotion from outside. I just wasn't able to hear what you were both talking about."

Mandy looked at him angrily and criticized him. "Jonah is such a well-tempered person. I have never seen him get mad throughout all these years.

"You have just been here for a few days, yet you've irritated him like that? I'm certain that you're the one at fault!"

Julien became flustered by her words. "How is it my fault? Jonah's the one who has done me wrong!" he cried out.

"Julien! Stop talking nonsense! You were out roaming free for a few years, with no one to keep a rein on you. You're becoming more and more insane!"

"You're the one who has to live with the Taylors in the long run. Of course, you have to build a good relationship with them. But I can leave at any time. So I don't have to suck up to them!" Julien argued.

He realized the severity of his words right after he said them. Yet, it was too late for him to take his words back.

Mandy's expression became dark. She felt a wave of anguish wash over her.

All of a sudden, the air around them became silent.

Julien pressed his lips together in embarrassment.

He was about to speak up to ease up the tension when Mandy said softly, "I'm sorry, Julien. I know that I've embarrassed you and the Lovelace family. I will forever be the black sheep in that family."

"That's not it, Aunt Mandy. That's not what I meant. I …"

"I know that I'm not worthy of being your aunt, let alone keeping you in check. I'm overjoyed that you were able to come back this time. In the future, take good care of yourself."

With that, Mandy left with her head hung low and a heavy heart.
