Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2084

The Taylors, when deeply in love, loved with all their heart. But when they wanted to appear heartless, they could act the part flawlessly.

When Liam frostily uttered those words, it felt like a piece of flesh was being cut away from him. Not only that, it also felt like his wounded heart was being wrenched unsparingly.

"Liam…" Yuliana, wrapped in his military uniform, shivered uncontrollably. Her shocked stares could burn holes into him. "Are you leaving me?"

She seemed like a talented supporting actress, perfectly embodying her role in his charade. Tears streamed down her face when she asked that question, dripping onto the bedsheets.

Liam's chest tightened. He couldn't bear to look at her anymore.

If only her feelings weren't genuine. If only she were there merely to seduce him.

But no. Here she was, pouring out her heart, raw and genuine. Every tear, every word, spoke the truth.

"Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten everything we did in the palace? You risked your life by climbing over a wall to see me in my chambers. Have you forgotten how you held me in your—"

"Your Highness, it's true that I've kissed you and held you in my arms. But that doesn't prove anything."

Liam scoffed. His face twisted into a mocking sneer. "It just proves I was physically attracted. Nothing more."

It was merely a physical attraction.

Yuliana was only 20 years old. Ever since she was young, she grew up surrounded by her parents' love. Although she was naïve and simple-minded, she understood what he meant.

He was referring to the most primitive urge men had toward women. Nevertheless, it was the cheapest and most transient form of fancying someone.

"Those long nights were less lonely because you were there as a company. I did like you for this one thing."

"No matter what… it still means that you liked me!"

Yuliana welled up with tears. She twisted her body, struggling to hug him. All she wanted was him.
