Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 1786

All Landon wanted was for Lauren to lounge around. He did not expect anything from her, except to wait for him at home. That was the idea of a happy married life he pictured.

While staring deeply at Lauren's sleeping face, Landon felt aroused, but he managed to keep his desire under control. He leaned over to plant soft, greedy kisses over her. After caressing her face and professing his love for her a few times, he reluctantly left the bedroom.

Downstairs, Angelina and a newly promoted secretary were waiting for him. Now that Angelina had been appointed as Lauren's assistant and bodyguard, Landon needed someone trustworthy by his side. Hence, she recommended her junior, Jordan Diaz, to take her place as Landon's newest secretary.

"Mr. Landon!" The two of them greeted him at the same time.

"Angie, guard the house and look after Lauren." With Jordan's help, Landon put on his black coat. He solemnly repeated the daily reminder to Angelina, "Call me if anything happens, even if I'm in the middle of a meeting. Call me at any time. There's nothing more important than Lauren."

"Of course, Mr. Landon." Angelina nodded.

"Ms. Angie, we're leaving now." Jordan stared at Angelina with excitement and anticipation.

"Go. Be good to Mr. Landon." She furrowed her brows, worrying over her junior like a mother over her son.

Jordan gestured "okay" at her and followed Landon out of the house. Angelina let out a relieved sigh and a smile after Landon's car left the compound. Her longtime efforts finally bore fruit.

She figured that Lauren might sleep in for a little longer. So, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Lauren.

Soon after, she heard the doorbell ring. Thinking it was Landon who had forgotten something at home, she untied her apron and ran to the entrance hallway.

To her surprise, she saw a stranger's face in the security footage. Dressed in a black suit, the man looked handsome and smart. He looked squarely at Angelina, exuding a masculine and intimidating air.

Her chest tightened, and even her veins throbbed violently from the perceived threat. Rarely had anyone managed to intimidate her. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Who are you?" She warily stared at the man and slowly took a few steps backward, even touching the gun that she kept on her waist.

"I'm from the Harper Group," the man replied with a straight face and a no-nonsense attitude. "I am here to pick up Ms. Lauren on Mr. Harper Senior's orders."

"I did not receive any instructions. Besides, no one has the right to take Madam Lauren without Mr. Landon's permission." Her eyes clouded with fear and confusion as she gripped her gun. "Who exactly are you?"

The visitor's patience seemed to have worn thin. He grabbed something from within his jacket and placed it on the security lock on the door. After a press of a button, the bomblike item made a beeping sound, followed by a dull explosion.

The highly-secured smart lock was bombed open in no time.
