Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1703

Rose's body stiffened, feeling as though a sharp ice blade had pierced her heart, plunging her intoagony.

"Okay," she complied, her trembling hand slipping into the pocket of her coat. Slowly, she extractedthe badge, gripping it tightly in her palm, then turned around.

At that moment, Silas gazed at her gloomily, extending his hand toward her.

Rose pressed her lips together into a thin line as she placed the badge in his palm. Just as sheattempted to retract her hand, Silas seized it, pulling her forcefully into his embrace.

Caught off guard, Rose collided with Silas' chest. He couldn't resist holding the small of her back,sealing her lips fiercely with a fiery kiss. Deepening the embrace, a sense of possessiveness lingeredbetween their entwined lips.

Rose's thoughts scattered, and her mind seemingly zapped. She responded to his passion, wrappingher arms around him and returning the kiss with equal fervor.

After what felt like an eternity of kissing, Silas reluctantly pulled away, holding her chin gently withhis fingertips as he smiled. "You were so pale earlier. Did I frighten you? Were you afraid I was trulygoing to leave? That I truly desired it back?"

"No," Rose croaked, tears glistening in her eyes. "When did you become so confident? Did you learnfrom Lyse to be this bold?"

Silas sighed affectionately and helplessly, enveloping her in his embrace. "Extraordinary... who cares?It wouldn't matter to me. You're the one I want in my life. You're the best thing a man could everwish for."

At that moment, Silas’ unwavering determination shattered all of Rose's doubts and hesitations."Rosie, be my girlfriend.”

Silas’ eyes sparkled with genuine sincerity. "Let me be the one to love you, to cherish you, to holdyou safe. Let me help you rediscover what you deserve. Please, Rose, give me a chance.”

Silas ran out of romantic things to say. These few sentences marked the extent of his eloquence.Rose could no longer contain the storm of emotions within her. With tears flowing down her face,she gave a gentle nod.

With that, Silas* world lit up. He tenderly stroked her nape once more before pulling her into a deep,passionate kiss.

Alyssa was stuck handling work matters with Jonah, which meant she couldn't meet Rose in SolanaCity. So, she tasked Silas with picking up the suit.

While retrieving the suit was important, her main motive was to create an opportunity for Silas andRose to meet.

Even if there were a spark between them, their current situation wouldn't allow them to see eachother. How could their relationship possibly blossom under these circumstances?

Alyssa spent the entire day buried in project plans, deciphering information on the group'sexecutives and their current financial situation. Jasper assisted her, but the sheer volume of work lefther exhausted. Her head spun, and her back ached.

"Phew, I'm beat," she sighed, collapsing weakly into Jasper's arms like a robot running low onpower. "Why is there so much to do? No one in their right mind could handle Jonah's workload.""Second thoughts already?" Jasper chuckled softly, gently massaging her temples. "Just a friendlywarning from someone with experience. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Once you take over, you'llbe facing a mountain of issues, even more than you're dealing with now."

"Regret?" Alyssa scoffed, lifting her chin. "That word doesn't exist in my vocabulary. Just watch me.I'll not only get the job done, but I'll excel at it. Remember KS World Hotel? I promised to run itbetter than Berenike, and I did, didn't I? My achievements speak for themselves.”

Jasper, clearly charmed by her confident spirit, planted a kiss on her forehead. "There's no one quitelike you, Lyse. You're the best, the queen bee. Why don't I just hand Berenike Hotel over to you?You'd breathe new life into it."

"Hmm... I don’t think so," Alyssa replied thoughtfully. “I know you're estranged from your father, butlet's not push it too far.”
