"Hi, Landon. Hi, Uncle Preston."
Zoe stopped right in front of them. A sweet smile came across her face. She was pretending to be nice.
"Oh, hey, Zoe! Are you feeling better?" Preston asked, pretending to be concerned.
"I'm much better. Thanks for asking, Uncle Preston."
"That's good to hear. You're a precious one in the Harper family. Your Grandpa and mother would be sad if anything bad happened to you!" Preston uttered these words for Landon to hear.
Following that, he shot Zoe a look before walking away while humming a tune.
"What are you doing here?" Landon glared at her frigidly.
"I made some chicken soup for Grandpa, so I'm bringing it to him while it's still hot."
Zoe blinked. She had an innocent look in her eyes. "Landon, you're not going to stop me from being nice to Grandpa, are you?"
Landon's deep and icy gaze narrowed as he raised his hand, pointing dominantly at her face.
Although he hadn't said a word, Zoe's heart started racing out of fear. Her hands, which were carrying the tray, trembled slightly.
"I'm warning you, Zoe. Don't try to be funny. Otherwise, I will rip off that dishonest tongue of yours and break your damn legs. You can try me if you don't believe me."
Upon saying that, Landon bumped her out of the way and left with great strides.
Zoe glared at him from behind. It was as if he was unshakable. Through gritted teeth, she muttered, "Let's see then!"
After that, she wiped off the gloomy expression from her face and put on a lovely smile before entering the study.
"I'm here to see you, Grandpa!"
"After they get married, I dare say that all the Harpers will end up changing their last name to 'Beckett' within a few years!"
"I know right, Grandpa? I knew that you were bothered by this."
Zoe let out a helpless sigh. "Actually, there's another thing that I haven't told you. I was afraid that you'd feel even worse if you found out."
"At this point, what else is there that I wouldn't be able to take? Just tell me!"
Deep down, Zoe sneered. She turned around and walked to the coffee table. She then retrieved a document that was hidden under the tray.
"Take a look at this, Grandpa."
Doubtfully, Cornelius took the document from her and started flipping through it briefly.
In an instant, his eyes widened with anger. He stared at the diagnosis in disbelief. Lauren's name was written clearly on it!

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
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?...
