Chapter 661
“Lauren! Why are you here?” Alyssa pinched Lauren’s soft cheeks and smiled widely.
Lauren ressed her lips shyly and hugged her teddy bear tight. “Alyssa, 1 missed you… and
Jasper. I came
because I wanted to see you.”
A pleased grin spread across Jasper’s face upon hearing Lauren’s words.
However, Alyssa felt a slight unease at being mentioned in the same breath as Jasper. But
her heart warmed at the sight of the teddy bear, which she had bought Lauren. Lauren
had insisted on bringing it to
the party.
She gently stroked Lauren’s head and confessed, “Lauren, I missed you too.”
Turning her attention to Landon, Alyssa gave him a pointed look and inquired, “Are you the
one who
brought her here from Sophia’s birthday party?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLandon openly admitted with a smile, “Yes, it was me.”
Alyssa shot him a glare and jabbed him in the shoulder. “You’re still smiling? It seems like
you only care
about your relationship with Lauren and how it makes you feel.
“Have you considered what’s best for her? What will happen when you take Lauren away
from her family?
Javier and Sophia will be upset with her when she returns home later!”
Landon retorted, “She’s not going back. Why should she go to a home where her mom and
sister treat her like crap? Lauren has been staying with me for a while now.”
Alyssa’s eyes widened. “What did you just say?”
“I’ve registered my villa on the hill in Lauren’s name. It’s her second home. If she’s
unhappy at the Becketts home and doesn’t want to see her mom and sister, she’s always
welcome to stay at that villa,” Landon
explained, gazing tenderly at Lauren,
Meanwhile, Alyssa nearly fainted from the outrage.
Jasper, unable to contain his anger, confronted Landon. “When did this happen, Landon?
How dare you
live with my sister without anyone’s permission? You’ve got some nerve.”
Landon hurriedly clarified, “We’re just living under the same roof, Jasper! I haven’t done
anything out of
the line,” Landon hurriedly explained, feeling gravely misunderstood.
Women out there were lining up to please him, and they would be glad to spend a night at
his place. Over
Lauren was the only woman with whom he hadn’t done anything more than hugs and
kisses. He was no gentleman, but he refused to sully Lauren. He was content just staying
by her side.
Alyssa gritted her teeth and fumed, “Landon, did you hear yourself just now? Do you
expect us to believe
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat you haven’t slept with her at all?”
Landon frowned helplessly. Alyssa and Jasper looked like Lauren’s parents, who
disapproved of her
partner.
However, Lauren shielded Landon, much to Jasper and Alyssa’s astonishment. Her cheeks
were flushed,
and she said, “Jasper, Alyssa, don’t scold him. I wanted to be with him.”
Her confession left Jasper and Alyssa in shock. Landon hugged Lauren from behind and
rested his chin
on her head. Together, they looked like a family, complete with the teddy bear she clung
to.
“Lauren, I can take you to Grandpa’s house after the party if you want. Is that okay?”
Alyssa asked for
Lauren’s opinion softly.
Lauren merely bit her lower lip and stared at her feet unhappily. Taken aback, Alyssa
sighed. “Do you
seriously want to be with Landon?”
