Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2335

That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.

The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.

Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean."

"Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch.

He still felt somewhat worried.

"It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."

Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes.

She still loved him.

She was hopelessly in love with him.

Perhaps she was lowering herself, or maybe she was hopelessly romantic. Regardless, her love for him was unwavering. Even when she resolved to end things, it was out of resignation, not a lack of love.

Her love for him remained unchanged.

Sean was about to say something when his phone rang unexpectedly. It was his second brother, Steven, calling. They hadn't spoken in ages.

After a brief conversation, Sean hung up.

Alyssa asked, "Was that Mr. Steven?"

"Yeah, he's getting married, so he asked me out for a meal so that I can meet his fiancée. It's a shame that Taty isn't able to move around much; I would've brought her along."

A slight smile came across Sean's face. With a slightly conflicted gaze, he shared, "Steven is no longer a judge. He's resigned and opened a law firm of his own. He's an attorney now."

Alyssa couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Why the sudden change?"

"It's because of Simon. Steven feels partly responsible for all that's happened over the years, so he resigned from his job." Sean still felt uncomfortable talking about Simon.

"Steven is a highly responsible and prideful person. You and your brothers are remarkably talented people. It's unfortunate that Simon lost his way."

Alyssa sat on the couch and ran her fingers across the new hiking gear. She smiled gently and said, "Go and meet with him. You don't have to come back to Solana City after that. And do wish him a happy marriage on my behalf."

…

Later, after a light lunch and a short nap, Alyssa drove to Crater Mountain Park. She arrived precisely at 2:00 pm.

She first met with Elias, who was now part of a new generation of forest rangers. Their conversation was tinged with nostalgia as they recalled Elijah, his mentor, who had passed away from pancreatic cancer.

Before they knew it, it was already 2:30 pm.
