Can’t Win Me Back

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...
