Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2132

The deeply affectionate look on Carl's face was extremely touching. Yet, it failed to reach Amber's anguished heart. "Your past doesn't matter to me. Whether you betrayed Mr. Schmidt... It doesn't matter because it's you I care about."

"It doesn't matter?" Amber scoffed. "You're loyal to Jameson, yet you say it doesn't matter?"

This sounded like a cruel joke to Amber. She laughed bitterly until her eyes welled up.

"As I've said, it doesn't matter because it's you! Besides, even if Mr. Schmidt wanted you dead, I have ways to keep you safe!"

In his haste, Carl blurted out, "You'll be perfectly safe if you marry me. I swear, Mr. Schmidt wouldn't dare do anything to you!"

Amber's pupils constricted. Her sharp mind caught the implication of his words.

He hadn't just assured her that Jameson wouldn't take action; he had boldly stated that Jameson wouldn't have the audacity to do so.

Carl's loyalty to Jameson was evident, but self-preservation was a primal instinct shared by both animals and humans. With Jameson's erratic and ruthless behavior, the former likely navigated cautiously around the latter.

Carl probably had hidden vital evidence against Jameson to protect himself.

Amber forced herself to calm down and regain her composure. She bit her lower lip until it bled, the metallic taste filling her mouth. Then, she relaxed in Carl's arm, leaning her sweaty forehead on his shoulder as if resigned to her fate.

Carl's heart pounded with emotion as he held her tightly. "Amber," he said lovingly, "let's go back to Kontina. It's beautiful, with mountains and scenery. We can get married there.

"I love you deeply, and I promise to always keep you safe. I'm the one who can bring you true happiness. Axel could never give you that."
