Chapter 1042
“Ms. Zoe said she and Madam Lauren were schoolmates from middle school and had a pretty good
bond during those days. She said she’s had time to think about her past actions and said she shouldn’t
have been so selfish and reckless.
“That’s why Ms. Zoe came over wanting to talk to Madam Lauren to make up with her,” Angelina
explained.
“Do you buy that shit?” Landon snapped.
Angelina replied faintly, “I didn’t let her into the house.”
“So Zoe hurt you just because you wouldn’t let her see Madam?”

Angelina smiled in exasperation.
“You’ve suffered much from being pitted between me and my sister while taking care of Lauren,”

He didn’t dare switch on the lights nor put on any slippers for fear that Lauren would be awakened. He
slowly inched toward Lauren, who was curled up on the bed. Landon seemed like the big bad wolf
closing in on its prey for some reason.
Landon stood over Lauren for some time, gazing deeply at her.
Finally, he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
“Goodnight, my darling wife. Sleep well. I’ll play with you in the morning,” he murmured.
Landon was about to leave when a pair of arms suddenly wrapped themselves around his waist.
“Lauren…” Landon’s heart leaped into his throat.
Lauren clung onto him tearfully, croaking out, “You’re finally home, Landon. Why were you away for so

“Of course I did! I caught him myself, too!” Landon was obviously
going to toot his own horn in front of his lover.
“You’re amazing, Landon!” Lauren chirped.
“Hehe! I have to be in order to protect you, no?”
“You’ve caught the bad guy. Does that mean Nina is avenged now?” Lauren asked cautiously.
Landon took a deep breath and nodded. “Mhm. That dear, kind-
hearted friend of yours can finally rest in peace now.”
Lauren put her hands together and silently prayed for Nina.
