Can't Win Me Back



With Jasper's comfort and company, Alyssa soon fell back asleep in his arms.

When she woke up a second time, the sky was already bright. The curtains swayed in the light breeze, and the warm rays of sunlight shone on her.

The room was filled with amorous air and the fresh scent of plants unique to Kontina.

It was such a beautiful day, yet she could not admire this refreshing and quiet scene with her beloved.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Alyssa sighed softly. A feeling of sorrow filled her heart.

After she got up and washed up, she sat on the balcony, lost in thought as she basked in the sunlight.

"What are you thinking about, Lyse?" Miley came up to check on Alyssa. She smiled as she brought out the breakfast she had prepared herself.

"Miley!"

Alyssa scanned through the scrumptious-looking food on the table. However, a food lover like her had no appetite that day. Even so, she forced a smile and exclaimed, "Wow... It smells great. With just one glance, I can tell that you made all of this.

"You are such a good cook. Your cooking skills are comparable to Lyla's. I haven't been able to eat the food you make since you got married and moved to Kontina. It's been long since I had your BBQ wings and steamed fish."

*I'll make them for all of you when Jasper, Jonah, Axel, and Jeremy return. I've asked the kitchen staff to prepare the ingredients. The live fish will be slaughtered fresh." Miley rubbed her hands together in anticipation.

As the First Lady, she presented herself as a mature, composed, and elegant woman before the nation's people. She would only reveal her chirpy and lively self in front of her family.

"You're talented and intelligent. Jeremy is really blessed to have you."

Alyssa picked up a sandwich, opened her mouth, and forced herself to take a small bite. "If I were a man, I would certainly marry you. I will fight off everyone else."

"Even if you were a man, you would be my younger brother. It would be incestuous for you to marry me!"

Miley and Alyssa joked around for a moment, but the sandwich in Alyssa's hands remained as it was.

"Are you having not much of an appetite, Lyse?" Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

Miley saw through Alyssa's worry from the frown on her face. She stood behind her and put her arms over her shoulders.

"Don't worry. They've laid out a detailed plan. The entire police force has headed to the wedding venue. Jeremy was worried about a shootout. If that happened, innocent citizens might be hurt, so they blocked off the roads there and evacuated the people.

'The wedding venue?"

Alyssa knitted her brows together tightly and held onto Miley's hand. "Jameson is in such a perilous state, but he's holding such an attention-grabbing wedding for his subordinate?"

Her heart raced. For some reason, she kept feeling that something was not right.

Miley held onto Alyssa's hand tightly. With a bright gleam in her eyes, she, too, felt a little heavy-hearted. "Such high-profile, blatant, and insane behavior is actually very befitting of Jameson."

'But that's different from the Jameson I know."

Alyssa blinked in surprise. "In Solana City, he was very introverted and kept a low profile. Not only did he hide

himself, but he didn't even dirty his own hands when he got rid of his siblings and Mr. Victor. And he was able to get away unscathed every time.

"He's a sinister man. He would never put himself in such a noticeable position. Moreover, he presents himself as a gentle, elegant, and kind man in front of others. It really isn't his style to be so showy."

"But he's someone who commits all sorts of evil when he's in Kontina." Miley had a frigid look in her eyes. Still feeling terrified, she continued, "The underworld in Kontina is a breeding ground for his crimes. After he escaped from this place and returned to Cyrris, he became an innocent descendant of the Schmidts.

"Naturally, he had to have a low profile whenever he took any action. He had to hide his light under a bushel and secretly evolve himself. Only then could he expand his power and devour the entire Schmidt Group."

As much as Alyssa felt Miley's reasoning made sense, she was still panic-stricken.

'Don't be afraid, Lyse. I'm here with you." Miley gave her a pinch on her cheek. "Fill your stomach up, and then I'll take you to look at the garden here at the presidential office, okay?"

'I'm not a child, Miley. You don't have to coax me the way you would a child," Alyssa pouted, looking utterly adorable.

Miley threw her arms around her and rocked her left and right. "Oh, you. You'll always be a child in my eyes!"

Carl heeded Jameson's command and held his wedding at a relatively famous church in the capital city of Kontina.
