Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alice White stared at the divorce papers on the table and realized that her husband had already signed them.

Then, she looked toward the window. Jasper Beckett’s upright figure reflected in her watery eyes. He looked charming under the afternoon sun but also cold and domineering. Even from behind, he radiated aloofness.

“I’ve signed it. You should also hurry and sign it. I want to finish all the legal procedures before Lia returns.” Jasper had his hands clasped behind him and didn’t turn to look at her.

“We’ve already agreed on the assets before marriage, so there won’t be any issues with that. However, I will compensate you with another 20 million and a villa on the outskirts. After all, you’d be leaving without anything else. It’d be hard for me to explain that to Grandpa later if you do.”

Alice was stunned and upset. “Does … does Grandpa know you’re divorcing me?”

“So what if he knows? Do you think it’ll affect my decision?”

After hearing that, Alice felt faint and grasped the table tightly. Then, she asked softly while on the verge of tears, “Jasper, can we … not get a divorce?”

Finally, Jasper turned around and looked at her with a strange gaze. He had thin lips, deep eyes, and fierce features. Alice would still feel a flutter in her heart when she looked at his perfectly contoured face.

“Why?”

“B-Because I love you.” Alice’s eyes were red and filled with tears. “I love you, Jasper. I still want to be your wife. Even if you don’t have any feelings for me.”

“Alice White! I’ve had enough! Every second is torture to me in this loveless marriage.”

Jasper waved his hand. He didn’t have the patience to listen to her anymore. “It was a mistake that you married me. You knew I was fighting with Grandpa. You also knew I had feelings for someone else, and we couldn’t be together. Now that the three-year period is up and Lia is returning from Mosgravia, it’s time you vacate the position of Mrs. Beckett.”

Alice had her head down and her tears fell onto the table. She quickly wiped them away. Still, Jasper saw it, and his gaze became deeper.
