Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 684

Jasper was taken aback, his arms still in midair. He had wanted to comfort Alyssa with a hug.

“I only wanted to…”

“I said, stay out of this!” Alyssa had no patience to deal with him further. She stormed away from him, still

on her phone, and slammed the door as she walked out.

The warmth and tenderness Jasper had so achingly wished for disappeared just like that. Their shared

moment from earlier burst, just like a short-lived bubble floating up into the sky.

Alyssa didn’t take the antique Jasper had given her. To her, family was the most important thing right now.

Sadness filled Jasper’s chest, making his heart twinge in pain.

worriedly, a sliver of blame in his eyes. After all, his boss had always been known to get on Alyssa’s wrong
