Chapter 627: Chapter 627

Alyssa left the villa and entered Landon’s luxury car.

Landon quipped, “Lyse, it’s rare that you’re willing to spend time with me.”

His eyes were always seductive. He watched the beautiful Alyssa with a grin.

“I’ve become more aware of any boundaries now, but I’m concerned that my jealous friend, Jasper, might be upset if he finds out we’re chatting here. He’s still unwell.”

“Do you think I would be in the same space with you if it hadn’t been for Lauren?” She folded her legs and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“Landon Harper, you’re a notorious charmer. Did your preference for women shift to our innocent Lauren because you’re tired of the sexy ladies you dated?”

At the mention of Lauren’s name, a shiver coursed through Landon. He responded with a shaky voice,”

Lyse, you know about Lauren and me?”

Alyssa replied with a smirk, “You and her? You’re confusing me now.”

“Lyse, look, I don’t want to hide this from you any longer,” Landon said.

He took a deep breath and, with a racing heart, solemnly admitted, ‘I’m in love with Lauren. I want to be with her.”

“And how many ladies have you fallen for this year?” She fired back with a disdainful smirk.

“She’s the one I love the most.”

“Every woman was ‘the one you loved the most’.”

“Lyse, I’m serious about Lauren!” he stated worriedly.

“I admit I was a player and dated many women, but those were just transactional relationships. Once we met each other’s needs, we went our separate ways.

“I’ve never felt like this before. Lauren is different. She captivates my entire soul.”

Alyssa teased, “You’re indeed Landon Harper. You seem enticed by the challenge of going after your friend’s sister.

“But mark my words-once you’re done with Lauren, you’ll cast her aside. As the novelty wears off, you’ll realize she may not fulfill the role of an ideal partner due to her disabilities, and you’ll discard her like a NUS *A used toy? God, I wish I could be with her 24/7! Lyse, do you have no faith in me?” he croaked miserably.

“Pigs might fly before I believe you’ve truly changed your ways,” she quipped, rolling her eyes.

“Why can’t I change my ways? I’ve turned over a new leaf!” he argued earnestly, his eyes filled with passion.

“Lyse, I understand that you see Lauren as your sister, but please, trust me. I’m willing to stake my reputation-no, my life-on it!

“I am wholeheartedly in love with Lauren. I want to be with her and build a future together!”

“Alright, I have a question for you.”

Alyssa turned serious and asked, “Imagine your grandpa, your mom, and your sister strongly disapprove of Lauren. They threaten to kick you out of Harper Group, withholding your inheritance.

Your mom says she’ll cut ties with you, and your family life is in turmoil due to your relationship.

“Would you still stand by Lauren’s side?”

Eyes b blazing.h he clenched his fists and replied firmly. “Absolutely. I may not have complete control over Harper Group. The risks you’ve described are very real, but I know that Lauren is the one I want.

*I’ll do everything in my power to protect her from bullies, even the Becketts!

“You’re avoiding my question,” she said with a touch of disappointment. “The only way to protect Lauren is by marrying her. Anything less would put her in harm’s way.”

The notion of marriage hit Landon like a lightning bolt, leaving him tensed and in shock.

Seeing his reaction, Alyssa assumed he had faltered. She let out a laugh and taunted, “In the past, you used to swear that you would marry me. Why are you silent now when I asked if you will marry Lauren?”
