Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 710

"So, I solemnly ask that you entrust Lauren to me! I might be a player in the past, but I will be loyal to Lauren in the future!

"I'll treat Lauren better than Jasper treated Ms. Alyssa—I swear on my life! I'll make her the envy of every woman! I love Lauren, and I hope to receive your blessing.

"We are dating seriously with marriage on the horizon," Landon blurted out in a shaky voice due to his nervousness, and he clutched Lauren's hand a little too tightly.

Alyssa glared at Landon, thinking that comparing himself to that jerk Jasper Beckett didn't make you any better."

Meanwhile, Jasper shot an equally disapproving look at Landon, thinking that Landon saying he'd treat Lauren better than Jasper treated Lyse was something he would never surpass him in.

Throughout the lengthy speech, Landon appeared stiff and perhaps spoke too quickly, but his eyes brimmed with sincerity. One could tell that he had been waiting to let his feelings out.

Newton smiled wryly, thinking, "Quite the smooth talker."

Javier, a businessman with three decades of experience, was flustered by a younger opponent for once. He hurriedly regained his composure and put on a stern look.

He cleared his throat and began, "Landon, I don't doubt that, but … as a father, I wish to see my daughter marry a respectable man and build a loving family. I have no choice but to be honest with you. Please don't take it personally."

"I know what you are about to say," Landon collected himself and looked dead serious. "You don't have to say anything to me. I know everything about Lauren. We have bared our hearts and souls to each other. She's the woman I want."

"What? You scoundrel! Have you sullied my granddaughter?" Newton pointed a trembling finger at Landon.

Landon waved his hand frantically in an attempt to clarify. "Grandpa, you've misunderstood me! I've never been intimate with Lauren. We've bared our hearts and souls but not our bodies. Please don't take it the wrong way!"

"Thank goodness …" Lauren sighed. Suddenly, she grasped Alyssa's hand and begged, "Alyssa, can I ask you for a favor? Can you please stay by Jasper's side? Take care of him until he's out of the hospital.

"If you're by his side, I'm sure he'll feel happier and recover more quickly."

Alyssa's heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips at Lauren's request.

Jasper stared at Alyssa with his puppy eyes. The two siblings were equally good at earning sympathy.

Finally, she broke into a smile and replied, "Of course. I will take care of Jasper. He was hurt because of me. I'll look after him until he's fully recovered."

"Woohoo! That's wonderful!" Lauren clapped with joy.
