Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chatper 491

Chapter 491

After offering some health advice to Newton, Alyssa left the room. Jasper wasted no time and quickly caught up to her. He said curtly, “I’ll send you home.”

Alyssa had held back from lashing out at Jasper in front of Newton. Now, she finally exploded and

jumped back while pointing a finger at his face.

She yelled, “Naw!”

Jasper was a little confused by the sound she made.

She pursed her lips awkwardly. It appeared she had accidentally uttered “no” with an accent, but the meaning was clear.

“I don’t need your help. I’m an adult who knows my way home!”

“It’s late at night. I’ll see you home,” insisted Jasper, who took a step forward.

Alyssa’s anger flared as she recalled how Jasper had pulled her into a hug earlier.

She seethed and dusted her shoulders, confronting him, “I didn’t lash out at you not because I condoned your behavior. I did it for Grandpa’s sake. Don’t take a mile when I give you an inch!

“I’m already pissed at Simon and Betty, and I’d take it out on anything that crosses my path. Come any closer, and I’ll give you a piece of my mind.”

She thought she sounded authoritative, but Jasper thought she was being hilarious.
