Chapter 1739

All of a sudden, Landon was no longer motivated to go to work. As he kissed Lauren's moist lips, he

lifted his hand to tug at his tie.

"Don't..." Lauren panted softly. She grabbed his hand and said, "It's already tied. Don't ruin it. Wait

until you come home..."

"Okay. Compensate me when I come back tonight then,” Landon whispered in her ear in a sultry

voice.

Lauren blushed. She nodded shyly.

Angelina had prepared breakfast. It was almost time, but she only stayed standing by the door. She

knew that it was best that she didn't bother them.

She could hear the sound of flirtatious remarks coming from the room. She lifted the corners of her

lips into a slight smile.

Landon always stuck close to Lauren until the very last moment before he left the house.

"Here's a small gift for you, darling.”

Landon picked Lauren up and placed her on the chair in front of the vanity table. Then, he opened

the rectangular jewelry box.

"Ah... It's beautiful!" Lauren gasped as she laid her eyes on the gleam of the hair clip made of clear

quartz.

"I know that you don't fancy jewelry. You've never worn any of the many jewelry that I've bought for

you previously. But I hope that you'll use this. Let me put it on for you."

Landon stood behind her. He picked up her long, smooth hair. He used the method Angelina taught

him and put her hair up rather clumsily.

For Lauren's sake, he had gone above and beyond, doing things he had never imagined himself

doing before. Yet, he still felt like he was greatly indebted to her. All these were far from enough

A moment later, Landon was done putting her hair up. He then clipped her hair up with the quartz

hair clip.

The clear quartz itself was splendid, but Lauren was even more dazzling. Her skin was fair as snow,

and her eyes twinkled. At that moment, no other treasure in the world could compare to her.

"Lauren, do you know what it means for a man to do up another woman's hair?" Landon lowered his

body and spoke tenderly. "It means that you are my wife. You are a married woman now, Lauren."

A warm ray of light came through the window, illuminating Lauren's glowy cheeks. Her eyelashes

fluttered, and her ears turned red.

Landon walked out of his manor in big strides. Angelina followed behind him.

"Angelina, did Lauren meet anyone when she was in school these two days?"

Landon was reminded of the way Lauren hugged him and sobbed last night, as well as her dark

circles this morning. He couldn't help but feel bothered by it.

"Nope. Apart from attending classes and spending time at the art studio honing her craft, she had

little interaction with others."

Angelina asked anxiously, "What happened to Madam Lauren, Mr. Landon?"

"Nothing much. Perhaps Lauren was feeling down because I haven't been allocating much time for

her lately."

"Madam Lauren is going to school to attend the school's anniversary celebration in the afternoon.”

"Sure. She has been looking forward to it for a long time."

Landon frowned. He continued in a low voice, "Just make sure that you watch over her. Don't let any

accidents happen again."

At 1:00 pm sharp, Lauren arrived at Solana City Arts Academy. She was accompanied by Angelina

and two other bodyguards.

She was always an introverted and low-key type of person. She also struggled with social anxiety,

making her highly apprehensive about the sensation of being observed. As such, she wasn't willing

to have the bodyguards tailing her.

Angelina didn't force her. Furthermore, she had faith in her remarkable skills that, at the very least,

no one would be able to lay their hands on Lauren right here.

Soon, Lauren and Angelina arrived at the entrance to the academy's auditorium.

As the event's start time approached, banners adorned the exterior of the venue while colorful flags

fluttered joyfully in the wind. Laughter and chatter filled the air, enveloping Lauren in the ambiance

of youthfulness.

Her tension gradually eased away. Her eyes sparkled as a smile slowly came across her face.

Angelina watched her. A smile of relief spread across her face.

Indeed, one of the best decisions Landon ever made for Lauren was for her to study at this

academy.
