Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa and Jasper had dinner at Newton's place. Landon and Lauren were with
them, too. They chatted happily and enjoyed each other's company.
The helpers cleared the dining table after they were done with dinner.
Then, Landon asked Angelina to retrieve a thick stack of documents from a
briefcase. He laid out the documents before Newton with the others as his
witnesses.
He filled the round table with his written proof of his ascendancy. It was as if he
was trying to decorate the entire table. Yet, these were only the tip of the iceberg.
Alyssa was someone used to extravagant spectacles. His title deeds alone were
thick enough to make her gasp in wonder.
"There's nothing to be envious about." Jasper smiled. He interlocked his fingers
with hers under the table. In a soft and low voice, he said, "I have whatever he
has, too. I own no less than him."
"Well, even with the both of you combined, what you own is still less than ten
percent of Winston's.
There's nothing for me to be envious about.”
Through her words, Alyssa expressed that she was unbothered. However, her
soft gaze showed that she was thrilled. "It's just my first time seeing someone
displaying everything like that. It's as if he's setting up a stall right here."
Jasper fixed his eyes on Alyssa. He frowned and chuckled awkwardly.
He felt like kicking himself. He just tried to act rich in front of the daughter of
Belbanks's wealthiest man. He was being too dense.
"Landon, these are..." Newton blinked. He already knew what the documents
were, but he asked anyway.
Landon held Lauren's hand in his. He was beaming. "Grandpa Newton, this is my
proposal gift for Lauren. However, these are only the properties within this.
country.
"I also have some assets in Mosgravia and Yoarkley. I didn't have time to
organize the documents for those. I will have them ready as soon as possible
and present them to you after.”
Lauren's face flushed as red as a tomato. Her hand became clammy because of
the sweat on Landon's palms. Her eyes twinkled with happiness.
Newton wasn't a black-hearted plutocrat who would sell out his own children for
money. He had already prepared a generous amount of dowry for Lauren. To
him, all that Landon presented wasn't necessary.
Newton acknowledged how much effort Landon put in to prepare all these. He
couldn't stop himself from smiling.
"You are someone who has the heart to cherish Lauren. That's more important
than anything else."
"Grandpa Newton, it's not enough to just have the heart to do so.”
Landon looked toward Lauren. His gaze was so deep that it could penetrate the
deepest parts of her soul.
He continued, "The amount you're willing to spend on a woman shows how much
you love her. Haven't you heard of this saying?"
Alyssa and Jasper exclaimed, "How corny!"
Newton, on the other hand, couldn't agree more. He nodded. It was as if he had
found someone who understood him.
In fact, that was also how Newton used to dote on Doris while she was still alive.
"I would love to give everything I have to Lauren. I want to have a grand wedding
celebration. I want the whole world to witness this happy moment of ours."
Landon was very eager. He wished that he could register his marriage with
Lauren at this very moment.
"No, you don't need to splurge like that! A simple wedding will do. A wedding
where our families and friends are present would be enough.”
Lauren didn't want Landon to squander his money away like that. She became
anxious. She felt like she was being put in a tight spot.
Landon smiled and consoled her. "Lauren, the Harpers are terrible snobs. I need
to have an extravagant wedding for us. If not, they will be gossiping about you
behind your back. They will look down on you."
Jasper took a sip of tea. "I see that you're quite familiar with your family's
condition.”
Landon raised a brow. He goaded, "I've always been more self-aware than you."
Jasper choked. He almost dropped the cup in his hand.
Landon's marriage with Lauren was now a done deal. So, did Landon now think
that he no longer had to please him?
How mean!
Newton and Alyssa laughed.
