Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1529

Landon hugged Lauren as they exited the prison. Despite being enveloped in his warmth, she still trembled in his arms.

"Darling, you…" He pursed his lips as he struggled to find the right words to say to her.

What should he say to comfort Lauren? He thought, "It's not like I can tell her, 'Let's come again' or 'I'm sorry for your loss.'"

"Landon." Head hung low and eyes teary, she said, "Thank you… Thank you for letting me see my mom for the last time. That's enough for me. I will not ask you for anything else."

"Darling, what are you talking about?" Worried, he plopped onto one knee in front of her and grabbed her hand.

He cast a frantic look at her misty eyes. "What do you mean you'll not ask me for anything else? What's the point of having me around? I will lose my motivation in the competition for power. What will I live for?"

"Landon…" Her voice trailed off as she stumbled back shyly.

"Just let me know anything you want. No matter what it is, I'll try my best to fulfill your request." His heart pained when he recalled the way she spiraled in front of him. He choked on emotions. "Lauren… you're the one I love. I so wish I could give you the world.

"I was wrong for taking away your right to meet your mom for the last time. I swear that won't happen again."

Feeling moved, she threw herself at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a tight hug. She mumbled, "I lost my mom…"

"Don't worry. You still have me, Jasper, and Alyssa. Oh, you have your grandpa, too." He caressed her back and announced, "Darling, don't cry. Take my hand, and I'll make you the happiest woman in the world."

He was confident in his courage and patience in their relationship. The only thing he feared was that he wouldn't be good enough for her. He feared upsetting her, as it might lead to a distance between them.

Angelina stood by her car and watched the touching scene from afar. Her lips curled up into a contented smile.

Landon finally had someone to build a family with. She hoped that his relationship with Lauren would last forever.

Later, Angelina drove Landon and Lauren back. The luxury car cruised down Solana City's bustling streets.

"Great minds think alike, darling." He beamed brightly at her. "I've been following up on the Solana City Arts Academy matters. I'm trying to get you to audit the classes. I can even hire private tutors and rent you a private art studio there. If you like, you can hang out all day over there."

Feeling grateful, she choked up and rubbed her nose against his chest. He caressed the back of her head as his breathing grew labored. He nearly melted from her adorableness.

However, his expression soon frosted over. "Angelina, keep an eye on Betty from now on."

"I have been doing that. She has never left Seaview Manor since Sophia's trial, perhaps because she's embarrassed," Angelina replied.

She could read Landon's thoughts very well.

"Why are we doing that?" Lauren asked in confusion.

"Did you forget your mom's final warning to you?" Frowning, Landon felt anxious when he recalled Sophia's last words to them. "When a person is near death, she will speak from her heart. There must be a good reason she wants you to beware of Betty."
