Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 955

Alyssa was all too familiar with how Jasper was feeling.

During the three years they were married, she had also lived in fear in that same way, day and night. She feared that he would ignore her or divorce her.

And now, he was having a good taste of the bitter love story that she experienced.

Alyssa walked into the room. She opened the cake box, and the inviting strawberry cake gave off a delicious scent. She gulped back her saliva.

But to Jasper, she was far more alluring than the cake. Rather than the cake, he was more interested in eating her up.

Alyssa cut two slices out of the cake in a few swift moves.

She picked up a slice and handed it to Jasper, saying, "I never knew you liked desserts. You've never mentioned it to me.

"You've never had a bite of the desserts that I made for you in the past. So, I thought that you didn't like them."

Jasper held his spoon with trembling hands. He took huge bites of the cake, but all he could taste was bitterness at the back of his throat.

"It's really sweet. Thank you."

The look of gloominess dissipated from Alyssa's eyes. She joked, "Take your time. There's no one else here to fight for food with you. If worse comes to worst, you can just have my slice of cake, too."

He loved eating desserts because life was too difficult when he was young.

In those days, even a simple piece of candy was deemed a luxury, let alone a cake like the one before him.

Following that period, he was called back to the Beckett family to assume the role of a cherished son. He now had access to anything he desired; a mere cake was nothing in comparison.

Yet, such was human nature. When he yearned for something, it remained elusive. Once he eventually attained it, the desire for it faded away.

He braved himself and asked tentatively, "Will I still be able to eat desserts you make for me in the future?"

Alyssa's heart skipped a beat. She simply smiled back at him without saying a word.

He understood what she meant. He forced a smile on his face and said, "That's alright. I'll learn how to make them. I'll make them for you."

"Tomorrow." Alyssa picked up a strawberry on top of the cake using her dessert fork. She made herself look totally nonchalant.
