Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Landon struggled to catch his breath, feeling overwhelmed.
During the party previously, he wanted to protect his best friends. Thus, he chose
to go against Javier. He did so with his friendship with Jasper and Alyssa in mind.
However, this was an expensive price to pay. He might never be able to marry
the woman he loved.
He was able to go against the entire Harper Group. He was even able to put
everything at stake. But how would Lauren be able to do that? She was a meek
woman. She was so timid.
Even if Lauren was willing, Landon couldn't bear to have her do so. She would be
carrying a magnanimous burden on her shoulders. How could he bear to see her
betray her family?
"Come home, Lauren. You are my most obedient daughter. Listen to me. Come
home."
Javier's gaze softened when he looked at Lauren. He opened his arms.
"You are young and clueless about love. Plus, you're terrible at gauging people's
intentions. You can't even tell if you've been deceived.
"But that's okay. I don't blame you. You are still my daughter as long as you
decide to come home. You're the daughter I love the most."
Lauren felt as though all her blood had been drained from her body. She stood
rigidly at the same spot.
She had already lost her mother. She really didn’t want to lose her father, too.
But, more than that, she didn't want to lose Landon.
"Lauren, Dad has been treating you so well. Do you want to make Dad angry?"
Betty was still standing by the side. She chimed in, "You used to be cooped up at
home every day. You don't know how evil people can be, especially men. You
shouldn't trust a single word that they say."
She was already enraged by Landon earlier on. She took this opportunity to snap
back at him, "You were lecturing me earlier on, Landon. But I think that you're just
a pot calling the kettle black!
"Lauren, Landon may be coaxing you with flowery words each day. However, did
you know that he is the number one playboy in Solana City? The list of his ex-
lovers is probably thicker than the dictionary! He only chose you because he
wants to add someone like you to his collection.
"It would be too late by the time you hit a dead end. By then, Dad wouldn't want
to take you in any longer, even if you wanted to come home!"
Lauren shivered uncontrollably. She became even more teary-eyed.
Landon wrapped his arms around her immediately. He caressed her back with
his hand to comfort her. He was already at his tipping point. Even so, he
remained infinitely patient with Lauren.
"Landon... I'm sorry... I..."
"My granddaughter is a wonderful woman. Who is that heartless idiot who
doesn't want to take her in? I must see him for myself!"
They heard a powerful voice coming from outside. The facial expressions on
Javier's and Betty's faces changed.
Following that, Jasper entered the room. He was pushing Newton in his
wheelchair. Walking right next to Jasper was a striking and stunning woman. It
was Alyssa!
There were only three of them. But, they walked in with an air of mightiness and
power. Javier's chest tightened. Betty was so stunned that her face looked like it
was about to crack.
"Jasper, Lyse." Landon was on the brink of tears.
Jasper looked at him. He pressed his lips together slightly and nodded.
They had been best buddies for 20 years. That small gesture was enough. No
words were needed. They always understood each other's difficulties at crucial
moments like these.
"How's Lauren, Landon?" Alyssa noticed that Lauren was looking pale. She didn't
have time to bother about anything else. She was only concerned for Lauren.
"I'm here. She's fine," Landon answered in a raspy voice.
Newton glanced around with his eagle eyes. In the end, he fixed his eyes on
Landon and Lauren. His gaze became gentle.
"Dad, what. what brings you here?" Javier walked down the stairs, looking
extremely awkward.
