Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1553

Landon struggled to catch his breath, feeling overwhelmed.

During the party previously, he wanted to protect his best friends. Thus, he chose to go against Javier. He did so with his friendship with Jasper and Alyssa in mind.

However, this was an expensive price to pay. He might never be able to marry the woman he loved.

He was able to go against the entire Harper Group. He was even able to put everything at stake. But how would Lauren be able to do that? She was a meek woman. She was so timid.

Even if Lauren was willing, Landon couldn't bear to have her do so. She would be carrying a magnanimous burden on her shoulders. How could he bear to see her betray her family?

"Come home, Lauren. You are my most obedient daughter. Listen to me. Come home."

Javier's gaze softened when he looked at Lauren. He opened his arms.

"You are young and clueless about love. Plus, you're terrible at gauging people's intentions. You can't even tell if you've been deceived.

She was already enraged by Landon earlier on. She took this opportunity to snap back at him, "You were lecturing me earlier on, Landon. But I think that you're just a pot calling the kettle black!

"Lauren, Landon may be coaxing you with flowery words each day. However, did you know that he is the number one playboy in Solana City? The list of his ex-lovers is probably thicker than the dictionary! He only chose you because he wants to add someone like you to his collection.

"It would be too late by the time you hit a dead end. By then, Dad wouldn't want to take you in any longer, even if you wanted to come home!"

Lauren shivered uncontrollably. She became even more teary-eyed.

Landon wrapped his arms around her immediately. He caressed her back with his hand to comfort her. He was already at his tipping point. Even so, he remained infinitely patient with Lauren.

"Landon… I'm sorry… I…"
