Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2085

Liam lowered his eyes, slowly clenching his fists as if trying to grasp the warmth that was gradually slipping away. "I hope you can find someone who can prioritize and love you with his life. It's not worth it for you to love someone like me."

…

Yuliana cried as she ran through the hallway in the fortress. When exhaustion finally claimed her, she slumped against a wall, her breaths coming in ragged gasps.

She looked like a child who the entire world had just abandoned.

Some time passed before a figure stood before her and then lowered itself until meeting Yuliana's eyes.

"Oh, someone's crying. I thought a ghost might be haunting the fortress," Alyssa said gently with a twinkle in her eye.

Yuliana lifted her swollen eyes, choked on a sob, and exclaimed, "Yes… I'm a ghost… but I'm also the prettiest ghost you'll ever find!"

"You're right! You're absolutely right. You're the prettiest princess in the whole world."

Alyssa coaxed her tenderly. To distract Yuliana from her sadness, she even tried to scare her. She asked, "Why are you crying here in the dead of the night instead of sleeping in your bed? Aren't you afraid of actually attracting ghosts? I heard that centuries-old fortresses like this one can be quite haunted…"

Yuliana was timid. She screamed and leaped into Alyssa's arms in fright. Her petite frame was soft and warm, making her very snuggly.

Liam, ever the modest one, had surprised Alyssa. After two trips to Kontina, he had managed to conquer the princess' heart. He had actually robbed the cradle!

Alyssa understood Yuliana's tearful breakdown. As a child of privilege, Yuliana was used to having her every whim fulfilled. Yet, here she was, facing her first rejection. Moreover, it was from Liam.

Alyssa's thoughts raced. She couldn't help but pull a crying Yuliana tighter into her arms. All of a sudden, she was reminded of her past self.

Winston, her father, was the wealthiest man in Belbanks. He was an uncrowned king who helped to increase Belbanks' GDP and provide many residents of Belbanks with job opportunities. Whenever she went out with Winston when she was young, everyone called her "princess".
