Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2337

The skies started to turn dark.

Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate.

"Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight."

Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization.

He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it."

"Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness.

She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice.

Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'll have coverage there."

"Even if something came up… How could he stand me up?"

Alyssa's eyes were reddened. The cloud of mist she exhaled, and the moistness in her eyes blurred her vision. "How could he do that? We've agreed to meet…"

"It's just a hike. If he can't make it today, you can just reschedule. You can go on the hike another time."

Elias chuckled awkwardly. He tried to console Alyssa. "Moreover, today's weather isn't great. It's not good for hiking. It'll be much better if you and Mr. Beckett reschedule for another day when the weather is good. It's really cold. You should hurry up and head back."

To his surprise, a determined look came across Alyssa's face in the next second. She took a deep breath, then began stepping toward the entrance to Crater Mountain.

"Ms. Alyssa, I'll go with you if you really want to hike up the mountain!" Elias shouted from behind as he was worried for her.

"I'm fine!"

Alyssa looked back. The gleam in her eyes was as bright as the snow on a winter's night. "Have you forgotten what my nickname is? I'm Mountain Goddess!"

Sadly, she could no longer seek refuge in Mountain God's muscular arms.

Jasper might have stood her up, but she would never do such a thing. She would fulfill their promise on her own.

…

Three hours later, Jasper arrived in Skydon City on his private plane. With Xavier as company, they rushed to the location where Sheryl had specified.
