Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1499

Watching Landon's anxious, bloodshot eyes, Angelina felt a pang of heartache.

In fact, she had initially disagreed with Landon’s approach of letting Lauren face reality. She felt itwas too cruel for someone as fragile as Lauren.

However, the news of Sophia's death sentence couldn't be hidden forever. It was better to handle itpromptly than to let it explode later.

Yet, she overestimated Landon's control over Lauren and underestimated Lauren's power during herepisode.

"Angelina, take Lauren back to her room to rest."

Jasper then turned to Landon with concern. “Landon, you're not in a good state either. Let Angelinalook after Lauren for now."

Angelina carefully took Lauren from Landon's embrace and effortlessly carried her, steadily makingher way upstairs.

Alyssa and Jasper exchanged bewildered glances.

Angelina, whom Landon had raised since childhood, could easily replace a grown man.

"I just wanted... I just wanted Lauren to accept the reality. I didn't expect it would turn out like this."Landon dropped his arms. He gasped heavily, feeling as if his entire being were being boiled in hotoil.

"Sophia never cared about Lauren. I thought... I thought Lauren had already accepted this reality. Ithought she wouldn't—"

"You thought, you thought! Have you ever thought about Lauren?" Alyssa's anger flared up at hiswords.

She took two quick steps forward and grabbed Landon's collar. "Since you flirted with Lauren, youbrought her to live with you, away from the Becketts.

"And then forcibly introduced her to the Harpers, subjecting her to the scrutiny of your grandfatherand mother. Now you're imposing your thoughts on her, thinking she can accept and bear it!"Where does your confidence come from? Is this really all for Lauren? Have you ever put yourself inher shoes? Have you ever cared about her feelings?"

"Lyse..." Jasper's eyes faltered. He wanted to calm her down, but he was afraid of saying too much.After all, he wasn't quite good at comforting someone.

Recalling everything that had happened, Landon felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his eyes dimmed.He had never asked whether Lauren liked it or wanted it.

Her obedience, gentleness, and compliance often made him overlook her true feelings. Every timehe suggested something, she would say, "Okay."

And every time he gave her something, even the passionate love that almost broke her in half everynight, she would say, "I love you."

"I love you. I really love you, Landon.”

But this time, he suddenly realized that he was wrong

He thought he was considering her and that he was selfless and great, but he never consideredwhether Lauren wanted this and could bear it.

"Landon, although you and Lauren both come from wealthy families, you're two completelydifferent beings from two different families. What you ought to do is immerse yourself in her gentleworld with ample love and patience.

"Not disregarding her feelings and forcibly tying her to you. And certainly not isolating her from theworld, cutting off her normal social needs, and confining her!" Alyssa accused him vehemently.When she released her grip on Landon, he actually staggered weakly.

"I've told you countless times that what you're doing is of no benefit to Lauren's condition. Youshould let her go out more. Let her make friends and have her own life instead of keeping her like acaged canary!"
