Lauren never said a word, but Landon could tell from the way she was flushed to her ears and her slowly quickening breathing that she had answered yes.
Landon made love to Lauren the entire night. From the bathroom to the living room, then on their bed.
In the end, the couple went back to the bathroom for seconds.
Every inch of Laurenâs delicate, virgin body mesmerized Landon to no end. He had never felt so sated in both body and soul.
In the end, Lauren ended up feeling so sore she couldnât move anymore. She panted weakly for him to stop, sprawled across his chest as she grew sleepy.
Landon felt like a fed lion, now thoroughly satisfied. He tended lovingly to Lauren, arm wrapped around her and gently patting her to sleep.
With his other arm, Landon flipped the blanket over.
A dark red flower had blossomed on the bed sheets.
Landon smiled, his eyes filled with emotion. He then kissed Lauren again.
âIt tickles,â Lauren mumbled in her sleep, not waking up even as Landon continued kissing her.
âYou really are mine now, Lauren.â Landon tucked his chin above her head, caressing her shoulder.
âDonât worry. Youâll never suffer ever again. Iâll love you for the rest of your life, Mrs. Harper.â
Jasperâs slap ended up rupturing Sophiaâs eardrum and even made one of her teeth loosen up.
What rage Jasper must have felt to land such a strong hit!
Betty rushed to the hospital with Sophia, the latter who ended up cursing Alyssa and Jasper the entire trip while she clutched onto her ear.
The driver was stunned. He kept on sneaking peeks into the backseat.
Who knew the usually composed and elegant Sophia would react hysterically like some rabid woman?
âWhat are you looking at?â Betty snapped, noticing the driverâs looks. âIâm warning you-youâd better keep your eyes on the road! One word of what happened in this car today, and Iâll make sure your life in Solana âY-Yes, Ms. Betty,â the driver stuttered âYou brat! I should never have wasted my time with you, you useless imbecile!â Sophia roared, having no one else to vent to. She viciously prodded Bettyâs forehead, making her sway.
Sophia continued, âWhy did you just stand there and watch me get hit? Why didnât you do anything when that bitch Alyssa pushed your own mother around? You never once said a word throughout âI-I canât overpower Alyssa. I mightâve made things worse if I tried! Betty whined, fists clenching tightly.
Why arenât you scolding Lauren? She didnât once show up when you were victimized, and she still isnât here! All she knows is to sleep around! I really donât understand why Landon likes her so much!â
âBah! Do you still think youâre comparable to your sister? So what if she didnât show up? She still bagged Landon Harper! Being Landonâs mother-in-law greatly boosts my reputation and is far better than whatever youâve ever offered me!â
Sophia didnât hide her disdain for Sophia.
She didnât believe it before, but now she had to admit that Betty, with her bad genetic makeup, really was a lost cause ever since she was conceived.
Lauren, who was Sophia and Javierâs child, was far better than Betty!
Sophia would have groomed Lauren if sheâd only known. What a waste of her time and effort!
Sophia was quickly checked into a VIP ward after getting a checkup at the hospital. She lay on the bed, the pain in her ears keeping her awake. She tossed and turned, rage and fear rising in her chest.
Sophia was worried Alyssa would find out about her relationship with Ronald or that Ronald would reveal it to Alyssa.
But there was something Sophia was even more terrified of.
She was terrified that Betty, being Ronaldâs daughter and not Javierâs, would be found out.
