Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2166

It was a beautiful night.

Jasper gently dried Alyssa off and dressed her in a soft silk nightgown. He lifted her in a princess carry, placed her gently on the bed, and tucked her in.

At this moment, he had finally qualified to be every bit of a caring and attentive husband, tending to his partner with utmost care.

His hands, roughened by combat and hardened by the business world, were unexpectedly tender toward Alyssa. He did not wake her at all throughout the entire process.

Alyssa slept peacefully, occasionally letting out a contented sigh.

She looked tempting.

Jasper swallowed hard. He caressed her dark hair as he leaned down and kissed her forehead, and then her lips.

Then, he left the room and stepped out onto the balcony.

It was already the end of December. Solana City was already in its midwinter season, while Kontina was in its most enjoyable season. An evening breeze blew through the warm and moist atmosphere.

Jasper pondered Alyssa's words with a gloomy look in his eyes. Afterward, he picked up his phone and called a number he hadn't called in a long time.

"Oh, my word! I'm not dreaming, am I?"

The receiver, Dexter McGrath, picked up his call, and a man's surprised and agitated voice sounded over the call. "Jasper, I thought you'd forgotten all about me!"

Jasper took a deep breath. In a voice full of helplessness and remorse, he said, "I'm sorry it took me so many years to reach out to you. Apologies for the sudden call."

"Don't mention it. We're not strangers. I've never deleted your number. I have been waiting for the day when you will contact me again. I was hoping that you didn't forget me."

Dexter calmed down, his voice choked with emotions. "Back then, as soldiers in the Peacekeeping Forces from different countries, we broke all barriers of nationalities and ages, forging tight friendships on the battlefield.

"Whenever I think about those days, my blood still burns with passion. It's a memory that has been etched within me, and I will never forget it."
