Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2380

Axel didn't care that he was soaked to the bone. He grabbed onto Amber's shoulders as she trembled violently.

"You're alright... I'm here! Don't be afraid!

Amber stared at him blankly. Her face was pale, and her mouth hung open. It was as if she were drowning, gasping for air.

"Was it a nightmare? You're okay. Don't be afraid... I'm right here.' Axel panicked. He pulled her into his arms.

"H... I'll help myself." Amber shivered uncontrollably, trying to cover the old scars on her body.

Back at The Millennium, Jameson had tormented her for days. That dark, humiliating past was suffocating her.

She avoided leaving the lights on because intimacy deeply traumatized her.

She only showered alone; those hideous scars were constant reminders of her shameful past.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The trauma lingered, and she didn't want the love of her life to see her in such an ugly state. Surprise flashed across Axel's eyes. He realized what was happening.

He stepped into the bathtub with her, embracing her tightly. His eyes were bloodshot.

"Amber, listen to me," he said, his arms wrapped securely around her.

Tears welled up in Amber's eyes. Being in Axel's warm embrace gradually calmed her.

"Amber, you are absolutely wonderful, I'm the lucky one to be with you. I am the one who doesn't deserve you." Axel gently patted her back as she trembled. Those scars pained him

too.

The past is the past. Let's look ahead. Happier days are waiting for us."

In the early hours of the moming, all was silent within Heightsnew Villa.

Alyssa sat on the patio, a blanket wrapped around her, gazing at the moon. She was worried about Jasper and the terrifying schemes Justin and Zachary might be plotting.

"Lyse? What are you doing here?"

Alyssa's mind came back to reality. Her eyes lit up when she saw Axel. "Axel, when did you return?"

Tonight. Sorry, I didn't go to you and Jonah because I have been looking after Ambs.

Axel's heart ached. He took off his coat and put it around Alyssa's shoulders. 'It's too cold out here. Let's go inside."

"I'm not cold. I used to love sitting here, watching the snow. Mom did too."

Alyssa could tell from the look on Axel's face that he was worried. In a concerned voice, she asked, "Axel, are you and Ambs alright?"

"Amber isn't doing too well." A pain shot through Axel's heart when he thought of how despondent Arber looked.

"What happened?"

"She's still haunted by her past. She doesn't talk about it because she doesn't want me to worry. She's been struggling internally."

Sitting beside Alyssa, Axel stared out at the snowy grounds. "I feel helpless. I can't erase her past..."

"Ambs is the strongest woman I know. If anyone else went through what she went through, they would have been worn down long ago, I admire her greatly."

Alyssa gave Axel a gentle pat on his shoulder. "Axel, everything will be okay. You and time are the best medicine for Ambs."

"I plan to marry Amber once I'm done with my current tasks." Axel closed his eyes. In a determined voice, he declared, "I'm resigning from the organization."

Alyssa was in utter shock and disbelief. "Axel, you're resigning?"

Axel had once claimed that he would dedicate his life to his career. Was he giving it up for

Amber?

"Yeah. Amber needs me." Axel smiled. 'Frankly, I've had this thought for a while now, and I've only finally decided tonight. I just want Amber to be happy and well, If she's not, then everything else is pointless."

Alyssa was deeply moved by Axel's affection and courage, so much so that tears filled her eyes.

Axel chuckled. "So, Lyse, let me know if there's anything you need me to do while I still have the authority. This offer won't last forever!"

Axel returned to his playful self, easing up the slightly melancholic atmosphere around them.

After a slight pause, Alyssa sighed. With a serious and sharp look in her eyes, she said, 'Axel, help me find the whereabouts of the ex-chairman of Dutton Group. Specifically, Justin's uncle, Zachary Dutton. Could you please look into this?"
