Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263

It appeared that Curtis had acted impulsively, which explained why he had landed in his current predicament. It seemed like he was in desperate need of money.

Alyssa couldn’t help but think that Curtis was a real shithead.
