Can't Win Me Back

Alyss a had to wonder if her suitors truly fell for her charm underneath her hideous appearance or if they were too eager to marry the daughter of Winston Taylor. Even she would bar f at her own face. How did they remain calm in front of her?

Power was indeed a great motivator, prompting her suitors to turn a blind eye to her looks.

Thankfully, she had plan B ready.

During her lunch with the first suitor, she suggested showing off her talent by reading his fortune through palmistry.

She informed the man that he had the health of a seventy-year-old despite being only thirty, causing his face to fall as he stormed out of the venue.

During her tea break with the second suitor, she kept staring at the space

behind the man until he felt a shiver down his spine.

“Ms. Taylor, what are you staring at?”

“Dylan, there’s a kid standing behind you.He’s looking at you. Are you sure you don’t want him to join us?”Her voice took a creepy turn. He looks … pretty … pitiful …”

Dylan Coppola fled the scene before the end of the date.

It was Felton Cruz’s turn next. Alyssa did not talk to him much during the musical. They were at peace with each other for a while.

After sitting through the musical, she was invited to dinner by Felton.”Ms. Taylor, I had a great time with you. Would you join me for dinner?”

“Sure, I’d love to.” She smiled andgrabbed her canvas bag.

Felton hadn’t paid much attention to her

bag at the start. He noticed a line on her canvas bag when he did a double take. It read,”Belbanks Psychiatric Residential Treatment.”

“Felton, what are you doing standingthere?” She blinked at him innocently.

Ashen-faced, he stumbled backward and stammered, “Uh,I … I suddenly remember I have something to attend to. Let’s do another day!”

Alyssa and Sean arrived at their final venue of the day. It was a nice and quiet café. The scent of tea leaves wafted in the air and calmed their nerves.

The environment reminded her of Heightsnew Villa. It seemed that the fourth sui tor had accidentally found a place to her taste. Therefore, she decided to go easy on him.

Alyssa had spent a day fooling around with the scions on her blind dates while

Sean watched on with fright.

“Ms. Alyssa, you might have forced theminto giving up on you, but what if they spread gossip about you later?” Sean looked concerned.”Gossip always spreads like wildfire. I’m worried that it might affect your reputation in Solana City.”

“That’s even better. I would like the menout there to think of me as a mentally ill woman.” She calmly added more freckles to her face with an eyeliner pencil. “That will ruin Winston’s plan to force me into

blind dating. He’s too old to fight against me.”

Sean was speechless at her thought process.

“To be honest, Sean, it would be nice torun into a soulmate at this time in my life. “She put away her makeup and lamented,”That way, I won’t have to rush from ablind date to another.”

Upon hearing that, Sean felt a rush of

emotions and looked at her with deep eyes. He shared the same wish, except that his soulmate was her.

“Winston is a sly old fellow. Even if Isurvived this, he might make another wicked move against me.”

“You’re still Mr. Winston’s favorite. Whenyou were away, he often said that you resembled him the most in terms of personality,” Sean revealed with a smile.

Alyss a chuckled.”He was taking a jab at me. Couldn’t you tell?”

Sean was entertained by her words. His phone buzzed, and he quickly took a look.

“Ms. Alyssa, the last sui tor of the day hasarrived.”

“Got it.”

Sean left for an adjacent room to make space for the two.

During the wait, Alyssa rested her cheek on her palm, looking bored. She stared out

of the window and closed her eyes to enjoy the tranqui l environment, the scent of the flowers, and the birdsong.

At that moment, she heard the door opening with a creak, followed by steady and heavy footsteps from leather shoes.

When the man was near her, she picked up a crisp and layered scent from him. It was like a night breeze that swayed her heart.

The scent was a mix of violet leaf and soft flowers. It was a rare combination for men.

Alyssa might be allergic to smoke, but she was exceptionally sensitive toward fragrances and spices.

She opened her eyes a little and lay her eyes on his face. Soon, she gaped and stared at him.

“Sorry for making you wait, Ms. Taylor.”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
