Can’t Win Me Back

That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel.

She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet.

The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.

The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door.

Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.

Alyssa smiled.

"Thank you, Sean." "Ms.

Alyssa, it's freezing today.

Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch.

He still felt somewhat worried.

"It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good." Alyssa gazed out the window.

The sun was shining brightly.

The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes.

She still loved him.

She was hopelessly in love with him.

Perhaps she was lowering herself, or maybe she was hopelessly romantic.

Regardless, her love for him was unwavering.

Even when she resolved to end things, it was out of resignation, not a lack of love.

Her love for him remained unchanged.
