Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 1982

Newton clicked his tongue. "Look at Javier. He's such a blabbermouth. He can't even keep his thoughts to himself."

Newton decided to be frank with Landon. He grinned, "Truth be told, Landon, Javier and I are here to officially propose your marriage to Lauren." "Grandpa Newton..."

Landon's breathing became heavier as he became overly emotional. He stuttered, "Grandpa Newton... I..."

All of a sudden, he burst into tears. Tears of joy streamed down his face like a waterfall.

Lauren mustered up all her strength to give Landon a tight hug with her frail body. She lifted her reddened face to look at him as drops of his tears fell onto her face.

Although she could not speak, her gaze was full of tenderness and happiness. The look in her eyes gave him great comfort.

"You don't have to say anything, Lauren. I get you."

Tears welled up in Newton's eyes. He put Lauren's and Landon's hands together. "I am getting old, and so will Javier. You are the only one who can journey with Lauren till the end. You are the only one who can love and pamper her for the rest of her life.

"All that awaits the both of you in the future will only be happy days."

"Grandpa Newton, Mr. Javier... I will surely make Lauren happy." Landon intertwined his fingers with Lauren's as he uttered this significant promise.

"Ah..." Lauren knelt on the bed as she lifted her hand to wipe away his tears gently. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Mr. Javier'? Isn't it about time for you to address me differently?"

Upon saying that, Javier himself ended up feeling embarrassed. He coughed awkwardly.

"Well, we can wait till after the both of you register your marriage and have your wedding before..."

"Dad!" Landon's voice was crisp and urgent.

Javier was taken aback. His heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know how to respond at that moment.

Newton clicked his tongue. "Look at you. He's talking to you. Didn't you hear him?" Newton gave him a nudge.

Javier came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and let out a smile of relief. "Landon."

Lauren's birthday was early next month.

Landon decided to register his marriage with Lauren on that day. Initially, he wanted to organize a grand and romantic proposal. However, Lauren saw through him and objected to the idea. She even refused to have a wedding ceremony.

She had severe social anxiety. In the past, she was able to open up little by little because she had Angelina by her side.

However, Angelina was no longer around.

Thus, she had retreated back to her little corner. Other than meeting her own family, any other human contact would make her fearful and restless.

With consideration of Lauren's mental state, a wedding of the century was most likely not going to happen.

Landon desired to give Lauren the whole world. Undoubtedly, this was an immense letdown to him.

That night, Landon called Alyssa and Jasper to share his sorrows.

"Formalities are really not that important for the both of you."

Alyssa was seated at her vanity table. She narrowed her eyes as she enjoyed Jasper's hair-brushing service.

She placed her phone on the table and put it on loudspeaker. "You and Lauren have been to hell and back. The entire world is witness to your love.

"No grand wedding could ever beat that. More importantly, you have to make Lauren feel comfortable. You don't have to care about what other people think or any of those superficial things." Jasper was distracted by the mention of a wedding. His heart wrenched.

How could he stand here so shamelessly and give Landon ideas? He himself owed Alyssa a wedding of the century.

Even if he lay down his life for her, he could never make up for all that he had owed her.

"Argh... Gentle... Be more gentle..." Alyssa grunted softly. Jasper had brushed her hair too hard unintentionally.

"Sorry. Did I hurt you?" Jasper's mind was elsewhere, and his breathing was heavy.

"Mm... It's been a little dry recently. I'll try applying some moisturizer."

"Okay," Alyssa answered in a soft voice.

"That's enough, both of you... Are you mocking me for having to be abstinent while Lauren is unwell?"

On the other end of the phone, Landon's voice sounded tense. His fingers went numb. "You may be relishing in a happy time as husband and wife. But shouldn't you also consider the feelings of a normal man like me?"
