Chapter 641
Landon held Lauren’s hand as he steadily walked forward. He smiled, feeling the sweat on her palm from
how nervous she was
“L-Landon, why aren’t we going to the parking lot?” Lauren asked worriedly when they reached the hotel
lobby.
“The underground parking lottakes too long to drive through. My car is parked right outside.”
“But.. but the reporters are outside. Lauren suddenly stopped in her tracks, growing rigid with fear.
“I-If we go out right now, the reporters are going to write nonsense.”
“Nonsense? What kind of nonsense?” Landon took off his coat and draped it around Lauren’s shoulders,
then buttoned it up for her.
He was such a caring boyfriend!
“If this nonsense they write just so happens to be what I genuinely feel, then it wouldn’t be nonsense at all,
Landon said.
“Um... you know... they’re going to say we we’re in that kind of relationship...” Lauren mumbled, her face flushed red. Her voice
had grown softer the more she spoke, tickling Landon’s heart like a gentle

Landon’s eyes widened. A great weight seemed to have settled in his heart. As he gazed at her pale, worried face, pain began

“Ah! Let me ... let me down!” Lauren cried, her vision shifting suddenly as Landon lifted her up in his arms.
“No.” Landon’s gaze was sharp and steady as he marched out the front entrance. He gritted out, “I want to see just who dares
