Alyssa and Jasper had dinner at Newton's place. Landon and Lauren were with them, too. They chatted happily and enjoyed each other's company.
The helpers cleared the dining table after they were done with dinner.
Then, Landon asked Angelina to retrieve a thick stack of documents from a briefcase. He laid out the documents before Newton with the others as his witnesses.
He filled the round table with his written proof of his ascendancy. It was as if he was trying to decorate the entire table. Yet, these were only the tip of the iceberg.
Alyssa was someone used to extravagant spectacles. His title deeds alone were thick enough to make her gasp in wonder.
"There's nothing to be envious about." Jasper smiled. He interlocked his fingers with hers under the table. In a soft and low voice, he said, "I have whatever he has, too. I own no less than him."
"Well, even with the both of you combined, what you own is still less than ten percent of Winston's. There's nothing for me to be envious about."
Through her words, Alyssa expressed that she was unbothered. However, her soft gaze showed that she was thrilled. "It's just my first time seeing someone displaying everything like that. It's as if he's setting up a stall right here."
Jasper fixed his eyes on Alyssa. He frowned and chuckled awkwardly.
He felt like kicking himself. He just tried to act rich in front of the daughter of Belbanks's wealthiest man. He was being too dense.
"Landon, these are…" Newton blinked. He already knew what the documents were, but he asked anyway.
Landon held Lauren's hand in his. He was beaming. "Grandpa Newton, this is my proposal gift for Lauren. However, these are only the properties within this country.
"I also have some assets in Mosgravia and Yoarkley. I didn't have time to organize the documents for those. I will have them ready as soon as possible and present them to you after."
Lauren's face flushed as red as a tomato. Her hand became clammy because of the sweat on Landon's palms. Her eyes twinkled with happiness.
Newton wasn't a black-hearted plutocrat who would sell out his own children for money. He had already prepared a generous amount of dowry for Lauren. To him, all that Landon presented wasn't necessary.
Newton acknowledged how much effort Landon put in to prepare all these. He couldn't stop himself from smiling.
"You are someone who has the heart to cherish Lauren. That's more important than anything else."
"Grandpa Newton, it's not enough to just have the heart to do so."
Landon looked toward Lauren. His gaze was so deep that it could penetrate the deepest parts of her soul.

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🙄...
