Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2170

The church had been cleared out three days ago. No one was allowed to enter, not even the outdoor venue and courtyard.

Carl was a groom-to-be. Yet, he felt like his heart was being roasted on a fire pit as he struggled with an indescribable feeling of suffering and agony.

He didn't want to have a wedding ceremony. He only wanted to leave Kontina and head to a faraway land with Amber as quickly as possible.

Today, the sun shone brightly in the sky.

Even so, there seemed to be an invisible fog that surrounded the church.

Jameson's subordinates filled the church seats. They were expressionless, like puppets lined up in a production factory. They were simply here on their superior's orders to put up a front for the betrothed couple.

Amber and Carl were both orphans. They didn't have any relatives or friends.

Somehow, it felt like an omen that this couple was destined not to be blessed.

Amber wore a pure white floor-length wedding dress. The elegant makeup on her face was beautiful, but it could not conceal the pale and drawn look on her face and the apathy in her heart.

Carl stood next to her in a smart suit. He fixed his eyes on the woman he loved with a relieved gaze. Finally, a blissful smile came across his face.

It didn't matter if everything was fake, devoid of emotions, or marred by violence. This was a woman he had loved for many years. The fact that she was finally becoming his bride was a profound reality.

"To the groom, do you take this lovely woman by your side to be your wife, to spend the rest of your life with her, in sickness and in health, in riches or poverty, for as long as you both shall live?" the priest directed his question at Carl.

Carl's excitement made his voice tremble. He tightly grasped Amber's chilly hands and answered with unwavering confidence, "I do!"

This short phrase carried his sincere and intense love for Amber.

Amber, however, looked emotionless. Her eyes were as still as a dried-up well. She wasn't even in the mood to play along with Carl just to appease him during this final act.
