Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper stared at the unfamiliar phone number on the screen. He was stunned for a moment. Not many people knew his personal number.

Under ordinary circumstances, if unknown individuals had dialed his number by mistake, he would never have answered their calls.

However, for some strange reason, his heart was racing this time. He couldn't restrain himself.

Jasper selected the option to answer the call and raised his phone to his ear.

"Who's this?" On the other end of the call, the winds and rain made it sound extremely noisy.

""May I know who's calling?" Typically, Jasper would have hung up a long time ago. But this was an exceptional time when he actually _ went along with it. He waited fora

Yet, he felt like a sharp sword had just stabbed right through his chest! "Lyse?" Jasper's eyes beamed with surprise. He stood up instantly. Every breath he took trembled with excitement. He couldn't believe that he could still hear from her.
