Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"I was just thinking about that conversation with Justin earlier tonight. It was really very intriguing," Alyssa explained.

"That would be the last time."

Jasper was still regretful that he had allowed them to meet. He pulled Alyssa in closer to him. "Next time, I will not let you come in contact with Justin again. Today was just an unexpected incident. Don't think too much about it."

"I'm not thinking too much about it. It seems to me that you're the one who's overthinking it."

Alyssa lifted her head slightly. She gave him a gentle poke in the chest. "Does it still hurt right here?"

He held her hand. He planted a kiss on her palm. "No, it's better now."

"There's really no need for you to be so paranoid. Also, what you imagined was not realistic. Would Justin stay in Mosgravia forever? He'd have to come back eventually."

Alyssa snuggled comfortably in his arms. "He was the one who facilitated the Jesseltons' discussion for a collaboration with the Beckett Group. And now, he took the initiative to contact Grandpa. Did you not realize yet that these were forewarnings? He has always been paving the way for his return.

"So, he will surely be back. How would it be possible for me to avoid him? On the contrary, I want to have a formal and proper meeting with your mysterious brother. He has seriously piqued my curiosity."

"Justin... Could it be that his health has taken a turn for the better?" Jasper lowered his eyes.
