Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 317

The night was illuminated only by the solitary presence of the moon. Jasper’s Maybach pulled up at the gates of Seaview Manor, and he stepped out alone.

He instructed the chauffeur, “Send Xavier home. I’ll head in alone.”

“But Mr. Jasper, we heard thunder on our way back. It will rain soon.” Xavier’s face was full of concern. The distance from the gate to the manor is quite far. I’ll send you in.”

“I’m fine.” Jasper coldly adjusted the knot of his tie. “I feel a little stuffy. A short walk will do me good. You should head back.”

“Alright, then,” Xavier reluctantly agreed but kept a watchful eye on Jasper until the Maybach disappeared from view..

With a heavy sigh, Jasper continued on his path toward the manor. Just a few steps later, the ominous sound of thunder echoed through the night.

The rain was pouring relentlessly outside. By the time Jasper arrived at the manor, he was thoroughly drenched.

The cold fall winds and rain had assailed him mercilessly, further adding to the bitterness in his heart.

“Good heavens! Mr. Jasper, how did you get into this state? Where’s the chauffeur and Xavier?” Mrs.
