Can’t Win Me Back

Landon hugged Lauren as they exited the prison. Despite being enveloped in his
warmth, she still trembled in his arms.

"Darling, you..." He pursed his lips as he struggled to find the right words to say
to her.

What should he say to comfort Lauren? He thought, "It's not like I can tell her,
“Let's come again’ or 'I'm sorry for your loss."

"Landon." Head hung low and eyes teary, she said, "Thank you. Thank you for
letting me see my mom for the last time. That's enough for me. I will not ask you
for anything else.”

"Darling, what are you talking about?" Worried, he plopped onto one knee in front
of her and grabbed her hand.

He cast a frantic look at her misty eyes. "What do you mean you'll not ask me for
anything else? What's the point of having me around? I will lose my motivation in
the competition for power. What will I live for?"

"Landon." Her voice trailed off as she stumbled back shyly.

"Just let me know anything you want. No matter what it is, I'll try my best to fulfill
your request." His heart pained when he recalled the way she spiraled in front of
him. He choked on emotions. "Lauren. you're the one I love. I so wish I could
give you the world.

"I was wrong for taking away your right to meet your mom for the last time. I
swear that won't happen again.”

Feeling moved, she threw herself at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck
and pulled him into a tight hug. She mumbled, "I lost my mom."

"Don't worry. You still have me, Jasper, and Alyssa. Oh, you have your grandpa,
too." He caressed her back and announced, "Darling, don't cry. Take my hand,
and I'll make you the happiest woman in the world."

He was confident in his courage and patience in their relationship. The only thing
he feared was that he wouldn't be good enough for her. He feared upsetting her,
as it might lead to a distance between them.

Angelina stood by her car and watched the touching scene from afar. Her lips
curled up into a contented smile.

Landon finally had someone to build a family with. She hoped that his
relationship with Lauren would last forever.

Later, Angelina drove Landon and Lauren back. The luxury car cruised down
Solana City's bustling streets.

"Darling, why don't we go out and have fun? Do you want to attend art exhibitions
in Yoarkley, watch the northern lights at Archenland, or pigeon-feeding at
Genovia Square?" He passionately took her hand and kissed the back of it.
Hearing that, Angelina stared at him through the rearview mirror and reminded
him in a low voice, "Mr. Landon, the board meeting is around the corner. You
need to make the preparations for your official appointment..."

"Nothing can take away my time with Lauren," said Landon with a gleam in his
eyes.

He hugged Lauren on the waist.

“Besides, what else is there to

prepare for? The president is either

me or Prepillon Preston. If Grandpa's

still clear-minded, he would know

that he'll doom the company by

handing it over to him. Harper Group

will be mine and no one else's." Visit

"That's right." Angelina was well

aware of the reasoning. Still, she had

her concerns. “I'm just worried that
Preston might make a move. He's

known to keep a high profile. Yet, he

has laid low since he failed to win the
racecourse hotel project. That

worries me. Something feels off, so

you better watch out for him." Visit
