Chapter 709
“Bravo! Great speech!” However, Newton excitedly patted Jasper on the shoulder, nearly causing Jasper
to barf.
Justin fell silent for a moment, then chuckled and offered encouragement, saying. “Good, I’m glad you’re
determined. I wish you all the best in winning Alyssa back.”
“Thank you, Justin,” Jasper muttered, but Justin’s mention of winning Alyssa back left him feeling uneasy.
Newton took the phone and cheerfully greeted Justin, ‘Justin, how’s life abroad? I’ve heard the beaches
are fantastic! When will you show me around and soak up some sun?”
“Grandpa, there’s no place like home,” Justin replied with a laugh. “Considering your age, I’d rather not have you take the long
journey to Mosgravia. Perhaps we can meet in Solana City once I’m feeling better.”
Jasper felt miffed but kept his composure.
“Hahaha! That’s great, too. I so wish you could come home and reunite with your family!” Newton sighed. and added, “Don’t
push yourself too hard. I’m aware of your health condition, and I won’t blame you for staying abroad. I can visit you from time to
time.
“After all, it’s just a ten-hour flight on a private jet, How tiring could that be?”
After a brief chat, Newton finally hung up.
Javier’s eyes brightened as he asked, “Dad, did Justin say he’s coming home? Is that true?”
Newton had a twinkle in his eye, but before he could respond, they were interrupted by Ben, who knocked on the door and
announced, “Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Landon, and Ms. Lauren have arrived.”
“What? Is Lauren here too?” Javier exclaimed.
Alyssa and Landon entered, with Landon confidently holding Lauren’s hand. He showed no sign of embarrassment as if they
were officially dating.
Meanwhile, Lauren bashfully hid behind Landon with flushed checks. Alyssa, who had followed the couple into the room, felt a
tinge of frustration and helplessness but knew it wasn’t right to break them up.
“Landon, what’s going on?” Javier stared at their intertwined hands in shock.
“Dad!” Landon greeted Javier with a grin, surprising everyone.
Alyssa almost choked and shot a disapproving look at Landon. He had always referred to Javier as
Uncle Javier” or “Mr. Javier,” but now he had called him “dad”.
Javier stiffened and questioned Landon what do you mean?”
Landon inhaled deeply and raised his and Lauren’s interlocked hands. He launched into a rehearsed
speech “Dad Lauren and I are deeply in love I’m head over heels for your daughter. My love for her is deeper than the ocean and
higher than the mountains
Alyssa and Jasper cringed at Landon’s cheesy speech
Landon please stop. This is so embarrassing Lauren interjected, unable to bear listening to Landon’s words Her face turned
deep red, and she squeezed his hand tightly
