Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1499

Watching Landon's anxious, bloodshot eyes, Angelina felt a pang of heartache.

In fact, she had initially disagreed with Landon's approach of letting Lauren face reality. She felt it was too cruel for someone as fragile as Lauren.

However, the news of Sophia's death sentence couldn't be hidden forever. It was better to handle it promptly than to let it explode later.

Yet, she overestimated Landon's control over Lauren and underestimated Lauren's power during her episode.

"Angelina, take Lauren back to her room to rest."

Jasper then turned to Landon with concern. "Landon, you're not in a good state either. Let Angelina look after Lauren for now."

Angelina carefully took Lauren from Landon's embrace and effortlessly carried her, steadily making her way upstairs.

Alyssa and Jasper exchanged bewildered glances.

Angelina, whom Landon had raised since childhood, could easily replace a grown man.

"I just wanted... I just wanted Lauren to accept the reality. I didn't expect it would turn out like this."

Landon dropped his arms. He gasped heavily, feeling as if his entire being were being boiled in hot oil.

"Sophia never cared about Lauren. I thought... I thought Lauren had already accepted this reality. I thought she wouldn't—"

"You thought, you thought! Have you ever thought about Lauren?" Alyssa's anger flared up at his words.
