Chapter 876: Chapter 876

“Landon!” Lauren threw herself into Landon’s arms when he came home.

She wrapped her limbs around him like an adorable koala.

“It’s ‘darling,” Landon gently corrected her.

Blushing, she obediently called out to him, “Darling.”

“That’s right. Darling, I’ll give you a kiss,” he replied and gave her a loud kiss on the lips while touching her backside with a hand.

After a cozy cuddle in the living room, Landon led Lauren to the bedroom, where he began to undress her and led her to the bath.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and protested, “I’ll bathe on my own.”

“How tiring is that? I’ll give you a hand,” he teased her with a cheeky grin.

“Don’t. It’s tiring to take a bath with you because you’ll be all over me.”

“Hm, don’t you like that?” Landon raised a brow playfully.

“I like it,” Lauren admitted, her blush deepening.

Landon, who was so exhausted that he couldn’t keep his eyes open, felt invigorated and aroused upon seeing his lovely partner.

Soaking in the hot bath, he held her waist and made love to her. Lauren had become bolder since dating Landon. Due to their frequent intimacy, her breasts seemed to have developed as well.

Surprisingly, they were sexually compatible. Each time Landon made love to Lauren, he could set aside his worries and enjoy the moment. After all, Landon had taught Lauren precisely how to please him, and he was reaping the benefits.

After they were done, he emerged from the bathtub with Lauren in his arms. Then, he placed a towel around her and gently placed her on the sink. He dried her hair and wiped her body with the bath towel.

Lauren enjoyed being taken care of by Landon. Every time, she would close her eyes in pleasure and happily swing her legs.

However, that night, she noticed Landon was unusually quiet. He didn’t indulge in a dirty talk during their lovemaking. Something seemed to be weighing on his mind.

Lauren called out softly, “Darling?”

Landon gathered himself and beamed at her. “What’s wrong, darling?”

“Are you in a bad mood? Did something upset you?” Lauren inquired.

Unable to keep it to himself after seeing her concern, Landon blurted out, “Yes. It has something to do with your brother and your ex-sister-in-law.”

“Alyssa? What’s wrong with her and Jasper?” Lauren asked worriedly.

After giving it some thought, Landon decided to be upfront with Lauren. Although they weren’t legally married, he treated Lauren like his wife. Besides, he believed that she deserved to learn the complicated dynamics in her family as a grown woman.

“Lauren, Jasper made Alyssa upset, but it was all my fault. I don’t know how to fix their relationship,”

Landon explained.

Then, he told her every detail, from how Jasper was drugged to how he lured Alyssa to Jasper’s villa.

Lauren listened quietly. Her eyes twinkled, and she appeared hesitant to speak.

Landon grabbed his hair in frustration and guilt. “They never slept with each other when they were married. How could I send Lyse into Jasper’s bed after they were divorced? This is so unfair to Lyse.

I’m a fucking jerk!”
