Julien squinted. Looking at the man's face, he didn't seem like he was lying. He didn't look like he was insulting him, either. Thus, Julien decided to let his guard down.
Since he was a naturally curious person, he couldn't help but probe, "Do I really look like your friend?"
"Very much so, especially your eyes. They're mesmerizing, like a fox's. My friend also had a similar, unforgettable gaze."
The man nodded confidently. His gaze was still fixed on Julien, as he could not take his eyes off of him. "But at a closer look, you only look like him in appearance. Other than that, your expressions and mannerisms aren't alike.
"Sorry… for thinking that you were someone else. I'm really sorry."
"That's alright."
Julien shrugged nonchalantly. "You can tell your friend about this when you get back. After all, it's quite a miraculous thing to know that there is a doppelgänger living in another part of the world."
The man shook his head dejectedly. "I wish I could, but it's not possible anymore.
"He passed away many years ago."
Julien was startled. "I'm sorry to hear that…"
"It's okay."
As Julien was about to get into his car, the man asked, "It's not everyday that we get to meet our fellow countrymen at Bernardia. I was really just wondering… Where are you from?"
"I'm from Belbanks."
After answering, Julien got into his sports car and disappeared into the night.
"Belbanks… That person is also at Belbanks."
The glimmer in that man's eyes dimmed as he recalled the elegant face that he saw.

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...
