Chapter 412
Javier asked, “At this hour?”
Javier lifted his wrist and looked at his watch. He furrowed his brows slightly. “He should know Jasper isn’t home right now. Besides, it’s almost dinner time. And for him to come now…”
“Oh, Javier, why are you overthinking it? It’s rare for Mr. Harper to pay us a visit. Maybe he’s here for Betty, ” said Sophia in a honeyed voice as she linked her arms with Javier.
“Sophia, what do you mean? Don’t tell me Landon and Betty… Javier was taken aback.
“You’re always so busy, and you don’t pay much attention to Betty. You don’t even know what’s going on
in her mind.”
“Betty has had her eye on Mr. Harper for quite some time,” said Sophia reproachfully as her slender fingers gently poked Javier’s chest.
at all?
Javier stared in astonishment. “Betty likes Landon? Why haven’t I noticed at
“Oh, you know how girls are easily embarrassed. How can they just put it straight like that?” replied Sophia.
Sophia also had an embarrassed look on her face. It was as if she was shy on her daughter’s behalf.
“This isn’t a trivial matter. Betty’s marriage is of great importance to our Beckett Group.”
“Betty is my first daughter, the apple of my eye. Her marriage must be carefully planned. She must be with someone of the same status.
“We have to choose the best among the successful young men in Solana City,” remarked Javier with a serious expression.
“The Harper family is one of the most prestigious families in Solana City. Besides, Mr. Harper is his grandfather’s only grandson.
“With Preston Harper still not having any kids as he gets on his years, in the future, won’t the entire Harper Group eventually end up in Mr. Harper’s hands?”
Sophia’s schemes were as bright as day. “Moreover, Mr. Harper is so close with Jasper. If Betty is married into the Harper family, the bond between the two families will be greater. What a wonderful union it will
be.”
Javier’s creased eyebrows relaxed. He was very much convinced by Sophia.
Landon didn’t have a good reputation in Solana City.
But it was normal for him, as someone born with a silver spoon, to seek new and thrilling experiences. After all, he was pampered, and all his materialistic wants had been fulfilled since childhood.
Javier used to be reckless when he was young as well. However, he naturally settled down as he matured when he had enough of the thrills and excitement.
Besides, Landon’s social status would make him a suitable match for Betty. If he still had the desire to
tt family. fool around after they got married, he would have to rein it in with pressure from the Beckett
At this moment, Landon was already making himself comfortable in the mansion’s living room.
He had often been to Seaview Manor to play with Jasper since he was a child. So, he felt just as comfortable here as he did at his home.
He didn’t even need the housekeepers to get him tea. He did it himself.
“Landon, what brings you here today?”
Javier and Sophia came over to greet him. Usually, Javier wouldn’t show himself. But after hearing what Sophia said earlier, he thought he should show up and meet Landon in person.
“Just a small matter. It was a last-minute decision. I hope I’m not causing any inconvenience, Uncle Javier.” Anyone could see how close Landon was with Javier as he addressed him as Uncle Javier.
“We’re just about to have dinner. You can stay and have dinner with us.” Sophia put forward her earnest
invitation.
“No need for that.” Landon casually declined her invitation. “Is Ms. Betty home? I’d like to have a chat with her in private.”
Javier and Sophia exchanged looks. Both had an intrigued expression on their faces.
When Betty knew Landon was here, she was so
excited to the point that she could somersault down to
see him right away.
However, her mother’s words crossed her mind.
Sophia had said that a woman would lose her value if she didn’t know how to maintain her composure
and distance herself from a man. Hence, Betty tried hard to hold her urges in.
Little did she expect Landon to ask for her when she wasn’t being initiative.
Betty’s heart raced as she walked into the room.
4- Warner are you here to see me?”
“Yeah,” replied Landon. He casually sipped his tea.

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
