Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 391

Why was Jasper still out there? What was he trying to get at?

Was that an attempt at winning her sympathy? Alyssa would never fall for such an off-putting move!

Fueled by anger, she stormed into her bedroom, only to come to an abrupt halt.

At the thought, she hurried back to her room and dialed his number. She was dismayed to learn that his phone was turned off.

She was completely baffled by his move. She might not have felt sympathy for him, but her curiosity got the better of her. Hence, she left the villa with a large black umbrella.

Jasper had been standing in hunger and the rain for too long. He even momentarily mistook Alyssa’s petite figure as an illusion.
