Landon disregarded Javier's ridicule. He took a few deep breaths. He was still holding on to Lauren's hand. His hands were trembling due to his nerves.
"I love Lauren. She is the only one whom I will marry. I will make her the happiest woman in this world."
Upon saying that, he turned to look Lauren in the eyes. His loving gaze was as deep as the sea. He welled up with tears.
"Please give us your approval for Lauren to marry me."
Lauren's cheeks flushed pink. His words warmed her heart.
Betty gritted her teeth as she watched them being lovey-dovey in front of her. Her expression was sinister and cruel. It was as if she was about to show her true colors at any second. She was about to transform into a monster of envy.
Javier scoffed. He responded in a cold and sarcastic voice, "Mr. Landon, you have no right to stand in before me. I am already doing you a favor by conversing with you right here. How dare you propose marriage in front of me? How dare you think of marrying my daughter?
"Your standpoint was very clear during the party last time. You wanted to draw the line with the Becketts. We have become sworn enemies.
"I see that you've been very attentive to Ms. Alyssa. You should be going to the Taylor family to propose marriage to Mr. Taylor instead. You shouldn't be here to see me. Though, I'm not sure what Jasper might think about that."
Landon's temples were throbbing. Javier's words pierced through his hopeful heart. His anger and unwillingness were stirring him up. He was challenging his patience.
He was fine with Javier insulting him.
He couldn't believe that Javier got Jasper and Alyssa involved in this. He was basically launching a personal attack on him. Landon was enraged.
He was on the verge of losing his temper. He clenched his fists so tightly that they were as hard as rocks.
At the same time, Lauren's body had stiffened up. She felt chills throughout her body.
"Mr. Javier, I understand if you are mad at me. You can scold me all you want. I will not talk back to you."

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
