Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 359

Chapter 539 

Landon booked one of the presidential suites upstairs in Berenike Hotel and promptly had his female secretary buy a gown for Lauren. He then had his secretary help Lauren get dressed while he waited in the 

suite’s living area. 

His fingers rhythmically tapped on the sofa’s armrest as he waited. 

Were he in a black suit, he would have the appearance of a groom awaiting his bride’s arrival. 

The bedroom door soon opened. His secretary walked out with Lauren, a smile on her face. “Ms. Lauren 

is ready, Mr. Harper.” 

Landons’ gaze shifted to Lauren, who timidly approached him in a wine-red lace-trimmed gown, her eyes 

blinking innocently. 

He was taken aback for the slightest second. 

Landon’s world had always been filled with chaos, violence, and women, but he had never met such a 

pure, sincere woman as Lauren. 

He worried that he might tarnish her purity if he gazed at her any longer. 

“Why did you get her this color? She’s still young. Pink or peach would have been more suitable.” Landon scowled at his secretary. “You’ve been working for me for ages. Haven’t your fashion sense improved?” 

The woman blushed, knowing how nitpicky her boss actually was. She was about to apologize when Lauren said, “I … I like this color, Landon. But-But you really shouldn’t wear red. It makes you look… dark.” 

The secretary had to bite her lip to keep from giggling. 

For a brief moment, Landon’s expression darkened. No other woman had ever spoken to him this way, 

except for Alyssa. In terms of national appeal, he should rank second, with only Jasper ahead of him. 

“I’ll forgive you this time because you’re Jasper’s sister,” Landon muttered. 

“Are you angry?” Lauren asked timidly. “Will you yell at me if I said you looked so dark that you looked like 

an olive? Will you hit me?” 

The secretary teetered on the edge of losing her composure. She couldn’t believe her ears when she 

heard Lauren comparing Landon to an olive. In that moment, she saw Lauren as her savior. 

Landon narrowed his eyes, clearing his throat. He approached Lauren and loomed over her, his presence 

casting a shadow over her.

As he raised his hand, Lauren closed her eyes and tightened her grip around her teddy bear. To her surprise, Landon gently tapped her forehead. “Yes. Does it hurt?” (1 

There was a kind smile on his face when Lauren glanced up at him.
