Alyssa wasn't the first to gaze at Justin with that look. He had long learned to categorize those stares as expressions of reverence. Yet, for reasons he couldn't quite explain, he disliked seeing it in her eyes.
"Justin, what brings you here?" Alyssa calmed herself down and avoided that deep gaze of his.
"I heard from Grandpa that you would be coming over tonight, so I was waiting for you here," Justin answered with a gentle smile. His eyes were filled with tender affection.
Everyone in the crowd was shocked.
What did that mean? Was that an implicit confession of love?
Did Justin have feelings for Alyssa too?
But she used to be his younger brother's partner. Did he truly not care about it, mind it, or be irked by it?
At that moment, the reporters who caught a whiff of the amorous tension became excited again. They flooded toward the pair.
The look in Justin's eyes deepened as he raised his arm and put it around Alyssa's shoulders in one swift and natural move. Then, he tugged her toward him.
Although he looked like a gentle person, his current posture was absolutely assertive. It even gave off a hint of his dominance in disallowing anyone else to get involved.
Alyssa trembled slightly. Being in Justin's arms made her feel uncomfortable in every way.
She wanted to free herself from his arms, but the crowd that was surrounding them kept her bound. She had no choice but to continue walking with Justin's arm around her.
Out of the blue, her chest tightened. She lifted her eyes, only to see Jasper's grim and lonely figure standing a few steps away. He was staring in her direction expressionlessly.
As their eyes met, she couldn't help but tear up as a ball of emotions rose within her.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
