Hi Kelvin,
The best way is to play a Topspin stroke. If the ball is wider to the corners, then make sure you are moving into position first.
Take a look at our tutorial on the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin. Then also take a look at this one on Returning a Long Backspin Serve.
I think they will help you to get the return right.

Returning Short Topspin Serves: Two Options
Returning a short topspin serve can be tricky because the spin wants to lift the ball up. In this video, we look at two effective options: developing an attacking flick and learning how to push the ball safely.
For the flick, the key is to be positive. Take a few risks, hit through the ball a little harder, and aim for a fast, flat contact. In practice, don’t worry too much about making mistakes as this is how you learn to control the shot under pressure.
The second option is the push. You can push a short topspin serve, but you need to adjust your contact. Instead of getting under the ball, come down the back of it more, almost feeling like your bat is moving slightly backwards. This helps counter the topspin and keeps the return lower and more controlled.
