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 once watched her play and laugh.

As time passed, another man had already taken his place by her side.

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.

Nevertheless, when he saw Justin's interest in Alyssa and how happy they were together, an explicable taste of bitterness rose at the back of his throat.

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.

Watch out, both of you!" Suddenly, a large clump of snow fell from the branches above Jasper's and Sheryl's heads.
