Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 

As they exited the theater, Zoe clung to Jasper, just like how she did when they were younger. She blabbered about her experiences abroad and professed her longing for him. 

The only difference was that she’d hold hands with both Landon and Jasper when she was a kid. Now, she treated Landon like a servant, completely disregarding him. She only had eyes for Jasper. 

Landon trailed behind them with a gloomy expression. Even his sister had ditched him after Alyssa rejected him. He started having doubts about his attractiveness. 

Upon reaching the parking garage, Jasper abruptly came to a stop. He took a deep breath and firmly withdrew his hand from Zoe’s grip. 

“Jasper, what’s wrong?” She blinked innocently, her hand left suspended in mid-air. 

“Zoe.” He turned to her, looking cold and distant, a stark contrast to how he acted around her when they were kids. 

She froze up in panic. 

“You’re not a child anymore. Some of your behavior is inappropriate.” 

“What’s inappropriate about it? You’re Jasper!” She frantically pressed on, “What’s wrong with holding your hand?” 

“You can do that to Landon because he is your brother. You shouldn’t do that with me.” He stopped there, 

not wanting to vocalize the harsh truth. 

Zoe wore a pitiful pout that concealed her anger within. Jasper must have changed his attitude because 

of that beautiful lady just now! 

When Zoe learned that Liana Gardner was no longer in the game, she rushed back to the country to keep 

Jasper company at his lowest moments, with the plan of winning his heart. 

After years of yearning for him, she was determined not to let another woman take him away. 

“Jasper, you’re hurting her with your words.” 

Landon couldn’t stand to see Zoe hurt. He hurried up and gave Zoe a hug. “You two grew up playing 

games together. There’s nothing wrong with holding hands now. 

“Besides, you’re both single. If you were taken, it would make sense to keep a distance from other 

females. We’re both bachelors. There’s no point making a fuss.” 

“Zoe will eventually date someone else,” Jasper reasoned, taking a deep breath and finding himself oddly reminded of Alyssa. 

He added, “She’ll hold hands with her future boyfriend. And I’ll save my hand-holding for the woman I love. 

After parting ways with Jameson, Alyssa left in her Rolls-Royce. She sneezed loudly in the car, likely from the chilly air conditioning in the theater. 

“Ms. Alyssa, did you catch a cold? I’ll get you some medications when we get home and make you some soup.” Sean handed her some tissue. She wiped her snot away, her nose as red as Rudolph’s. 

She joked, “I’m fine. Maybe someone’s been gossiping about me behind my back.” 

“I never thought we’d run into that bastard at a piano concert!” Sean grumbled unhappily and took the snot -covered tissue from Alyssa without flinching. 

Alyssa’s mood darkened at the thought of Zoe’s intimacy with Jasper. She assumed that Jasper was silently enjoying Zoe’s touch because he did not ask her to stop. 

While Alyssa had long been aware that Zoe was Landon’s sister, she had no inkling of the close 

relationship between Zoe and Jasper. She shook her head coldly, thinking that her marriage was a waste of time when she realized how little she truly knew about Jasper. 1
