Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 2307

The moment Alyssa's eyes met Jasper's, her heart skipped a beat.

Her thoughts tangled in a whirlwind, like a ball of yarn unraveled in haste.

How long had he been waiting there? Had he been here all night? She couldn't tear her gaze away from his captivating, reddened eyes.

Tears threatened to spill, and her heart ached.

And just then, she was reminded of the scene at the orphanage the day before—how Jasper had held Sheryl tightly in his arms under that tree.

Alyssa's frail body trembled.

She shifted her gaze away from his face, feeling a tightness in her throat.

In this life, she had faced some incredibly trying times.

During her time with Doctors Without Borders, she endured some of her harshest moments—starvation, freezing cold, and over ten days without a shower.

Yet, even in those circumstances, she never felt completely defeated.

But now, in front of Jasper, she was on the verge of breaking down.

Just as she was about to shut the door, Jasper shot to his feet and charged forward.

Alyssa nearly slammed the door shut on his hand as he slipped it through the gap and grabbed the doorframe.

"What...

What are you doing?" Alyssa's eyes remained fixed downward, unable to meet his gaze.

But she could still feel the weight of his intense, unyielding stare.

Jasper lowered his head, his breath warm as it brushed against her reddened nose.
