Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2069

As Lauren wrote, a soft and motherly glow came across her face.

Landon, on the other hand, hid behind her. His face was downcast, and his pale lips trembled uncontrollably.

He hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. He nuzzled against her longingly. His eyes filled with tears that were so close to streaming down his face.

"Darling, didn't you say… that you didn't want to have children?"

Landon's voice was unusually low and gravelly. With his lips right next to her ear, he asked, "Didn't you want to study art and be my only woman forever?"

Lauren's lashes fluttered shyly. She focused her attention on writing, "That was in the past. That's not what's on my mind now."

A lump rose in her throat. "Landon, I know that my physical condition isn't great. I have to take medications and get injections every day. I don't even know when I can be discharged.

"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. I want to have a child whom we can raise together. This way, even if I were to one day leave this world before you, our child will still be here to keep you company. You won't feel lonely then."

Landon couldn't stand seeing those words. With his finger, he pressed down hard on the screen and erased all that Lauren wrote. His heart ached, and the tears in his eyes blurred his vision.

"Don't say things like that, Lauren! We will be alright… I'm sure we can grow old together! As for children, I'm okay without them! All I need is you. I don't like children and I don't want any!"

"Ah… Ahh…"

Landon's sudden outburst of emotions made Lauren panic. Immediately, she grabbed his hand tightly and placed his shaking hand on her chest.

With tears of pain in his eyes, Landon pressed his lips onto hers and kissed her deeply yet tenderly.

Lauren melted into his arms slowly. She parted her lips, allowing him to slip in with his tongue. The gentle biting on his lips made his breathing heavier. He started to feel aroused.

Landon was someone with great needs in that particular aspect. However, ever since Lauren's hospitalization, they had not been intimate with one another.

Sometimes, when he slept with Lauren in his arms, he really could not suppress his urges. Whenever that happened, he would not even touch her. He would rather fly solo while watching her sleep.
