Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2004

Though Amber tried to kick Axel out, he shamelessly stuck around. However, he merely observed her from a distance without disrupting her work.

He watched as she joined the cooks to prepare food. Despite her petite frame, she stirred the food in the industrial cooking pots with ease. She harvested, washed, and cut the vegetables expertly, as if it were second nature.

With his arms folded across his chest, Axel became engrossed in her actions. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead, and a few strands of hair clung to her cheek. Despite her disheveled appearance while working, he found her beauty captivating.

Every time they crossed paths, she carried herself like a flawless masterpiece, catching the attention of the opposite sex. However, Axel found her prettier in her current state—more vibrant and real.

As Amber's "friend", Axel was invited to lunch with the other kids when food was served. Amber stood in a line with two other teachers to serve food.

"Thank you, Ms. Altman!" The kids chirped with wide smiles. She warmly greeted them as she busied herself serving food.

After a while, her hand suddenly froze midair as she looked up in surprise. Axel stood up straight, holding a tray. He looked into her eyes with passion. Smiling, he said, "Ms. Altman, I have a huge appetite. More food for me, please."

Amber's heart raced wildly. She bit her lower lip shyly, feeling helpless. Meanwhile, the two teachers grinned knowingly at her blushed face.

"Please leave after you're done with lunch." Lowering her head, she whispered in a voice that was only audible between the two of them.

Still, she served him a generous portion as he had requested.

"Oh, that's a lot of food. Might take me a while to finish. Let's see." Leaning in with a twinkle in his eyes, he teased, "I don't always get to see you. I won't leave until I've had my fill."
