"Just a little while ago, Landon cto my house to propose marriage. Initially, my father wasn't in agreement.
Then, Alyssa and Jasper showed up with Grandpa! "With a few words, Grandpa gave my father an earful. He even sealed the deal on Lauren's marriage with Landon! They are going to be engaged soon! Surely Landon will knock that idiot up right after.
"What use would there be for you to cback after that? Are you going to celebrate becoming an aunt?" There was silence on the other end of the call.

A marriage alliance between wealthy families may seem like a strong alliance, but in reality, it is full of weaknesses. A small misstep is enough to make everything fall through.
"Jasper and Alyssa are hopeless romantics. How many more individuals of this sort are there in the world? Landon? Hah, that would be a joke," Zoe sniggered without hesitation.
That said, there was one thing that she couldn't deny—Jasper and Alyssa's love was steadfast. The love they shared was unseen and unheard of in Solana City.

"How about you cover and spend stwith me? | can pay for your expenses if you're short on cash.

He needs to get srest." "Uh... | noticed that he didn't look too good. So, | went to the kitchen and made him schamomile tea," Betty answered with an innocent look.

"Dad." Betty carried the tray as she swaggered forward. In a coy tone, she said, "I made this for you." "Thanks. Just leave it there," Javier replied frigidly. He didn't even look up at her.
"Simmer down, Dad. | am always on your side no matter what anyone else says or does." She placed the tray down. She walked to Javier's side cautiously.
"I'm sure that you've also witnessed it today. Lauren isn't even married yet, and her allegiance is elsewhere already. You've raised her and loved her for so many years. Yet, she abandoned you after she found her man.
