Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper's hand was on Alyssa's waist. He pulled her in closer to him slowly. The corner of his lips curved upward as he gave her a helpless look.

Alyssa consistently brimmed with captivating ideas, and her perpetual desire ensured there would never be a dull moment in her company.

"Lyse, I know you are just trying to comfort me."

Even though Alyssa wasn't fussed, Tatiana couldn't help but feel an immense guilt weighing on her. Her eyes turned red as she said, "You wouldn't have been dragged into this if it wasn't because of me.

"You wouldn't otherwise have become the Schmidt family's target for revenge. It's all my fault. I was too weak and stupid. That's how it came to this."

Upon saying that, Tatiana's tears started flowing. Her teardrops dripped onto the back of her hand. This tugged at their heartstrings.

Alyssa gave Jasper a look. He was taken aback. He then quickly leaned forward toward the tea table.

He pulled two pieces of tissue from the tissue box and handed them to Alyssa.

Alyssa was speechless.

She wasn't the one crying. Why did he hand the tissues to her? He could've just given them to Tatiana directly.

Alyssa wiped Tatiana's tears away for her. After a moment of hesitation, she sighed heavily, "Actually, Taty, I should be the one who should apologize. I wasn't able to seek justice or get revenge on your behalf. David still ended up being released."
