All of Julien's anger had dissipated in an instant.
"You must be exhausted from the past couple of days of working. You haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Jonah held up a plastic bag in his hand.
He continued, "I remembered that you mentioned you don't usually eat carbs. Instead, you have fried chicken to reward yourself when you're under a lot of stress and tired. So I've brought you some fried chicken. I don't know what flavor you like, so I bought several."
Julien swallowed hungrily.
In the end, he still let Jonah enter the office.
But to save his pride, Julien put on a poker face and sat back in his chair, refusing to look at Jonah. "There's no need to be so polite, Mr. Jonah. Helping the sick and injured is my duty as a doctor, so I'll always perform to my best."
"Is someone angry?" Jonah asked instead, ignoring how distant Julien was being.
Julien blinked quickly. "W-Who's angry here? Not me."
"If you weren't angry, why were you crying?"
Julien's heart pounded wildly, and his cheeks flushed. He instinctively glanced at the mirror on the wall.
In the reflection, Julien's lips were pulled tight and cheeks extremely flushed, looking like someone's angry wife.
Jonah chuckled silently and took out the boxes of fried chicken, arranging them in front of Julien. He even set the utensils and tissues down neatly by the side.
"You've worked really hard these past few days," Jonah rasped, showing some self-restraint.
Julien's heart trembled as he met Jonah's eyes.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
