Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1555

Alyssa remarked, "Yup."

"Wow! How are you so talented, Alyssa? You're so unlike Jasper. Earning money is the only thing heknows how to do!" Newton said as he gave Alyssa a playful pinch on the nose.

Jasper turned green with envy. He was fine with Newton dissing him. But why was he being touchywith Alyssa?

The trio crowded around the laptop. They focused on watching all that was happening through thescreen.

Alyssa saw that Landon and Lauren were being bullied. She became enraged. She rolled her fingersinto balls of fury.

"Grandpa, shall we go over now?" Jasper asked. His breathing was heavy.

Newton's face was glum. "Hold on a little while more,” he urged.

Jasper and Alyssa were stunned

"Landon is the one who wants to marry my granddaughter. Since this is so, this will be a challengingtest for him. There is no doubt about that."

Newton loved Lauren. Nonetheless, he was still able to maintain his rationality. “This is just the firststep that they are taking. Yet, they're already facing such a huge hurdle. I'm sure that morechallenges await them in the future.

"This time, I want to verify how much Landon loves Lauren. I need to see if he has the capability toprotect her.

"As far as I know, the Harpers aren't any more powerful than the Schmidts. They are also a bunch ofscoundrels. I need to ensure that Landon has enough capability to defend Lauren.

"I need to make sure that he can keep her safe and secure if she is going to be with him. Only thenwill I be able to entrust him with Lauren.”

Alyssa and Jasper looked at one another. They were moved. They realized this was how an eldercared for the younger generation sincerely.

As for Landon, he obtained Newton's absolute approval through his actions.

"As her father, you are unable to give your blessings. That's alright. They have my blessings!"Newton disregarded Javier completely. A warm, wide smile came across his face. He waved atLauren and Landon and said, "Come over here, Lauren and Landon.”

Landon steadied his breathing. He put his arm around Lauren's shoulders. They walked to the frontof Newton together.

"Grandpa..." Lauren's eyes were swollen from all the tears. Yet, she was still well-behaved. It was aheartbreaking sight.

Newton acknowledged her greeting. He felt a lump rise in his throat. He scooped up Lauren's handand held her hand tightly in his.

“Lauren, my dear. You are my favorite granddaughter. You... You've been through a lot.”

Lauren shook her head. She had tears in her eyes. "I'm okay, Grandpa..."

Betty heard Newton saying that Lauren was his favorite granddaughter. Her heart dropped. Her facebecame twisted from all her anger.

What Newton said was as fatal as a nuclear bomb to her. All these years, she had put on anobedient act to get in Newton's good books. However, it turned out that all her efforts were fornaught.

She lost to Lauren, both in romantic and family relationships. She was a complete failure.

Newton looked straight into Landon's eyes. His gaze was serious.

"Landon, I will entrust you with my granddaughter moving forward. You must keep her safe. Loveher well, just like how Jasper loves Alyssa. You must love her with all your life. Are you able toachieve all these?"

"Grandpa Newton... I can.”

Landon lifted three fingers into a three-finger salute. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes welledup with tears.

In a shaky voice, he said, "I swear to you and the heavens... I will love Lauren for as long as I liveuntil death do us part. Otherwise, I..."

Before he could finish his oath, Lauren tiptoed and covered his mouth with her hand. She stoppedhim from cursing himself.

"I know how you feel, Landon. You don't have to say anything else. I get you.”

Silently, Alyssa wiped the tears from her eyes. Jasper took this chance to pull her in by the waist. Hewhispered in her ear.
