Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper also spotted Alyssa, who was in Justin's presence.

A beautiful and harmonious scene like this had also once appeared in his monochromatic memories.

He had been the one who had initiated the breakup.

He said he didn't want her to waste her time on him.

He was also the one who had asked her to choose a good man for herself.

Jasper clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his hands bulging.

It felt like a bee had stung him on the tongue, the prickling, numbing sensation spreading through his body.

Distracted by his own emotions, he barely noticed when a few snowflakes brushed against his sculpted face.
