Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 2262

Alyssa stared blankly at Jasper. The icy look on his face reminded her of a mountain that was covered in white snow.

She was clearly right in front of him. Yet, it was as if they were separated by the farthest distance in the world.

Although he was clearly aware that she was in love with him, he was drawing a clear and firm line in front of her, separating himself from her passionate and tumultuous love for him.

Jasper had returned to the person he was three years ago. Or, perhaps he was worse now than he was then.

Maybe he was expressing his concern for her. But he couldn't be as gentle and caring as he was. He could no longer cajole her affectionately or think of her.

All of a sudden, she was completely submerged in that overwhelming feeling of disappointment. As flustered as she was, it woke her up.

"As you're also aware, I've always had gastritis."

Alyssa looked into Jasper's dark and dull eyes. She smiled in relief. "Don't worry. From today onward, I will take good care of myself. But I think that this will be the last time that I will feel sad about you. I will not do such a foolish thing moving forward."

The last time…

Alyssa sounded like she was choking back on her tears. Hearing her voice like that made Jasper's heart quiver.

"That's good to know." Jasper's throat tightened. For some reason, he felt a feeling of emptiness in his chest.

It was as if someone had removed his insides one by one, then filled him with sharp-edged rocks, weighing him down so badly that he could barely breathe. He felt so suffocated that he couldn't even express this bizarre feeling and extreme discomfort.

"Some of your belongings are still at my manor. When you're free, go and see Mrs. Rosie and take your things away." Alyssa lowered her voice as much as she could just in case she accidentally exposed her deep sorrow and reluctance to part ways.

She didn't have the guts to go home these few days because she was afraid that being there would remind her of him.

Traces of their intimacy and pleasure could be found throughout the entire house. They had gone to the supermarket together to purchase all their daily necessities. Everything had been slowly accumulated over time, and everything was in pairs.

Right now, it was all being torn apart.

How would she be able to see or face this? She had no other choice but to do all she could to avoid it.

In an emotionless voice, Jasper said, "It's alright. Just throw them away."

He wasn't a spendthrift or wasteful person. Furthermore, if he didn't want to go, he could have Rosie gather his things and Xavier to pick them up on his behalf.

It was as if he was, instinctively, also trying to run away from something that he couldn't quite specify or explain.

Tears welled up in Alyssa's eyes. Suppressing the pain that was about to crush her on the inside, she looked into his dark eyes.

"I've accepted the reality that you no longer love me. Moving forward, it will be enough for me to know that you are alive and well."

Jasper's lashes quivered slightly. Looking expressionless just like before, he responded, "Same goes for you."

"I'm tired. I'd like to rest now."
