Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1335

Alyssa saw Landon approaching them, looking weak and sickly. She teased him immediately, "Gosh, Mr. Harper, what's wrong with you? Were you doing hard labor in your bedroom last night?"

"I… Never mind. Forget about it." He sighed in frustration. Where to start?

He couldn't possibly speak ill of Alyssa's brother in front of her, or he'd land Jasper in trouble as well. As Jasper's brother from another mother, he didn't have the heart to do so.

Alyssa knew he must have something on his mind, but she did not press on if he was reluctant to divulge.

"Do you want food? I'll make some for you," Jasper offered, turning around to look at Landon while busy with the cooking.

"Nah. I don't have appetite." Landon wandered to the fridge and opened the door to grab a bottle of water. Then, he downed the entire drink.

Crumpling the empty bottle, he took a deep breath before announcing, "Lyse, Jasper, I will register my marriage with Lauren today."

Caught by surprise, they gasped, "What? Today?"

"Yes, today." Landon's eyes burned with passion. His voice broke. "I've thought over it. The more I delay it, the more problems arise. I don't care if my family approves of my marriage. I'll get it registered for now.

"After that's done, Lauren and I will be legal spouses—she'll be my wife and the matriarch of the Harper Group! Even if Grandpa is against our decision, he has no choice but to let it go. Once I'm in charge of the Harper Group, I'll throw a grand wedding for Lauren. She'll surely understand my decision."

Jasper furrowed his brows, his attention completely diverted from the sunny-side-up eggs now burnt in the pan.

Landon went on, "Jasper, I'll go get my birth certificate from my mom soon. What about Lauren's? Can you get it by today?"

"Landon Harper, what the heck are you thinking? You're acting weird today," Alyssa chided him with a stern look.

"Why? All I want is to marry Lauren. Look at your faces. I was expecting applause and support," Landon retorted, his brows contorting in anxiety.

"Landon, you've been dating Lauren for a while. You were able to keep your calm before, but why did you lose it today?" Jasper turned off the stove and cast a worrying glance at his best friend.

He added, "By the way, our birth certificates are with Javier. If you demand to get it from him, he surely won't hand it over to you.

"After all, you greatly embarrassed him at the Jesseltons' event for Lyse's sake. You know Javier and his pettiness. If you ask him something, he'll take the chance to make you jump through hoops.
