"Jasper, Lyse!" Upon hearing that, the Beckett couple turned back simultaneously. Their faces showed delight when they saw the newcomers. "Landon, Lauren!" Under the dazzling lights, Landon, dressed in a sharp suit, held hands with his petite wife as they approached Jasper and Alyssa with a happy smile.
They looked every bit like sweet newlyweds.
Lauren obediently followed him. She was wearing an elegant, light purple dress. Adorning her updo was the clear quartz hair clip that Landon had given her, which she loved and wore almost every day.
Although she was still somewhat shy and nervous, she had improved significantly compared to how she would hide away at the sight of people.

Alyssa felt really happy for Lauren.
In a sense, Lauren's condition had improved. It was evident that Landon truly doted on her, loved her, and gave her an irreplaceable sense of security.
As Landon proudly appeared with his beloved, it inevitably attracted discussions around them.
"Who's the lady beside Mr. Harper? She's as beautiful as a doll." "That's the fourth daughter of the Beckett family, Ms. Lauren." "Oh! Mr. Javier's youngest daughter? Her mom is Sophia, right?" "Yeah, she and Betty are both from the smother." "Tsk, tsk, although they're sisters from the smother, their fates couldn't be more different. | heard Betty's reputation in Solana City is worse than her deceased mother's. Even though she's the Beckett family's heiress, no man from a respectable family dares to marry her.
"But look at this Lauren. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also deeply loved by Mr. Harper. Mr. Harper is now the designated heir of the Harper Group. That young lady will surely have a bright future." Hearing their discussion, Landon smiled in satisfaction.
Then he suddenly embraced Lauren's waist, pressing her soft body against his chest.
"Mmm..." Lauren's soft lips were sealed by his. Her long lashes fluttered as their breaths mingled.
She felt a tingling sensation in her chest. Her eyes were misty as they met Landon's sparkling gaze, like ripples in a disturbed pond.
There were gasps around them.

If he truly loved her, he should openly express his affection and let the whole world know of her existence.
After all, this was a public occasion, with countless pairs of eyes watching. Landon didn't kiss too boldly, mainly because he was afraid he couldn't handle it. How could he endure the long hours ahead? When their lips finally parted, Lauren's face was flushed from the passionate kiss, making her even more charming and adorable.
"Mr. Beckett, is there anything exciting to watch tonight?" Landon hugged Lauren's shoulder, raising his eyebrows playfully. "I'm here to let my wife see the elephant." Just as Jasper was about to speak, a beam of light from a nearby spotlight flashed over.
