Landon hugged Lauren as they exited the prison. Despite being enveloped in his warmth, she still
trembled in his arms.
"Darling, you..." He pursed his lips as he struggled to find the right words to say to her.
What should he say to comfort Lauren? He thought, "It's not like I can tell her, 'Let's come again' or 'I'm
sorry for your loss.'"
"Landon." Head hung low and eyes teary, she said, "Thank you. Thank you for letting me see my mom
for the last time. That's enough for me. I will not ask you for anything else."
"Darling, what are you talking about?" Worried, he plopped onto one knee in front of her and grabbed
her hand.
He cast a frantic look at her misty eyes. "What do you mean you'll not ask me for anything else? What's
the point of having me around? I will lose my motivation in the competition for power. What will I live
for?"

"Just let me know anything you want. No matter what it is, I'll try my best to fulfill your request." His
heart pained when he recalled the way she spiraled in front of him. He choked on emotions. "Lauren.
you're the one I love. I so wish I could give you the world.
"I was wrong for taking away your right to meet your mom for the last time. I swear that won't happen
again."
Feeling moved, she threw herself at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a
tight hug. She mumbled, "I lost my mom."
"Don't worry. You still have me, Jasper, and Alyssa. Oh, you have your grandpa, too." He caressed her
back and announced, "Darling, don't cry. Take my hand, and I'll make you the happiest woman in the
world."
He was confident in his courage and patience in their relationship. The only thing he feared was that he
wouldn't be good enough for her. He feared upsetting her, as it might lead to a distance between them.
Angelina stood by her car and watched the touching scene from afar. Her lips curled up into a
contented smile.
Landon finally had someone to build a family with. She hoped that his relationship with Lauren would
last forever.
Later, Angelina drove Landon and Lauren back. The luxury car cruised down Solana City's bustling
streets.
"Darling, why don't we go out and have fun? Do you want to attend art exhibitions in Yoarkley, watch
the northern lights at Archenland, or pigeon-feeding at Genovia Square?" He passionately took her
hand and kissed the back of it.
Hearing that, Angelina stared at him through the rearview mirror and reminded him in a low voice, "Mr.
Landon, the board meeting is around the corner. You need to make the preparations for your official
appointment..."
"Nothing can take away my time with Lauren," said Landon with a gleam in his eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe hugged Lauren on the waist. "Besides, what else is there to prepare for? The president is either me
or Prepillon Preston. If Grandpa's still clear-minded, he would know that he'll doom the company by
handing it over to him. Harper Group will be mine and no one else's."
"That's right." Angelina was well aware of the reasoning. Still, she had her concerns. "I'm just worried
that Preston might make a move. He's known to keep a high profile. Yet, he has laid low since he failed
to win the racecourse hotel project. That worries me. Something feels off, so you better watch out for
him."
Landon refused to discuss business competition in front of Lauren. He beamed softly and croaked,
"Darling, have you made up your mind?"
To be honest, Lauren wasn't in the mood for anything. However, she knew that her low spirits would
affect Landon. So, she tried to appear cheerful and suggested casually, "I. I'm thinking of visiting
Solana City Arts Academy sometime."
