Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Sheryl's words came like a bolt from the blue, catching the Taylors off guard.

Alyssa shuddered. She curled her scabbed fingers around her blanket into a tight grip.

"Say what... Jasper and my daughter have broken up?" Shock filled Winston's eyes. He couldn't believe his ears.

Sheryl confirmed, "That's right. Your sons know about this too. Though, it seems like you were truly unaware."

Lyla was on the verge of tears. She shook her head continuously. "That's impossible... Why would they..."

Mandy trembled. She widened her eyes in disbelief. "They broke up? Why did they break up out of the blue? They share such a good relationship. How is that possible?"

Sheryl blinked. A hint of maliciousness lurked in her eyes.

"You shouldn't be asking me this. You should ask Mr. Jasper because from what we heard, he was the one who wanted to break up-"

"Break up my foot! He would never do that to Lyse even if someone pointed a gun at his head!"

Colene blew her top and flew into a rage. She pointed at Sheryl's innocent-looking face. "Where the hell did you get that information from? Stop spreading rumors and sowing discord! If you have any ideas about Jasper, I will rip your mouth out and break your legs!" "Madam Colene, I was just stating a fact. Why are you shouting at me? As an elder, this shouldn't be how you present yourself, don't you think?"
