NovelOnline"Sure, Mr. Landon." Angelina picked up the hint and proceeded to change the sheets. There were other maids in the manor as well, but Landon only trusted Angelina to enter and clean a private space like his bedroom.
The heavy and luxurious velvet curtain remained drawn. The dimly lit bedroom carried a stuffy smell; it smelled like sex.
Angelina stole a glance at the messy sheets, unable to hide her joyful expression. It appeared that the couple had had a rather exciting night. She made a mental note to massage Lauren's waist after a night of being ravaged by Landon.
Angelina quickly changed the sheets and covers. Then, she picked up the clothes scattered across the floor and gathered them in the laundry basket.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEver since Landon had expressed his desire to marry Lauren to the Harper family, and after he had formally made the proposal to the Beckett family, Angelina couldn't see a condom around the house.
Clearly, Landon wished for Lauren to carry his child. Since they were having unprotected sex, it was only a matter of tbefore Landon's wish ctrue.
Looking happy, she exited the bedroom. At that time, Landon said to her in a low voice, "Angie, stay at hwith Lauren. She needs to rest and recover. She'll skip her classes at Solana City Arts Academy for the tbeing." "Mr. Landon, that's..." While Angelina hesitated, the bathroom door flung open without warning.
"No! | want to go to school! | don't want to stay at home! | want to go to school!" Landon and Angelina were stunned by the sight of Lauren dripping wet, wrapped in the vapor from the bathroom. All she had was a towel wrapped around her. She ran out barefooted.
Shocked, Landon rushed over, took off his fresh suit jacket, and wrapped her in it. The jacket worth thousands of dollars immediately turned into a towel. Lauren looked even more fragile and petite in his large jacket.
"Oh, you silly one. You're going to catch a cold if you run out of the bathroom like this!" He hugged her emotionally, causing her to stand on tiptoe, and nearly lifted off the ground.
He added, "Have you forgotten your promise to me? You said you'd behave." As Angelina watched on, her concern for Landon grew along with her worry for Lauren. Ever since Landon was officially appointed the heir, he had been attending all sorts of business events to expand the company's network.
On top of that, he occasionally made business trips abroad for project evaluations. He was no longer the carefree young man who had all the tto keep his lovely partner company.
Besides, Lauren was back to school, leaving them only a few nights per week to enjoy each other's company.
Unfortunately, the hostage incident that happened yesterday had only further added to Landon's stress.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis nerves were as tight as a bowstring, and it might snap soon to release the tension.
"Why? Why are you stoppingfrom going to school?" Lauren stared at him with an anxious and pleading look.
He gently explained, "I never said to stop you from attending. For the tbeing..." "There will be an arts performance at the academy's founding anniversary celebration a few days later. | don't want to miss it because | have never been to one!" She struggled in his arms. "I finally have a chance to go to school like anyone else, without getting weird looks from people.
"Landon, I'm really happy to attend school, and I'd like to learn painting. Please don't do this to me. Don't take away my happiness. Please." Taking away her happiness? Her heavy remark sent a shooting pain through his body. He always thought of himself as the man who loved her the most, and he believed he could provide her with a happy future.
To his dismay, his concern for her was perceived as an act of stripping her of her happiness.
"Madam, you misunderstood Mr. Landon." Angelina grabbed a fresh towel and approached Lauren to help dry her hair. "That's not what he meant. He assumed that the campus would be chaotic after the criminal incident yesterday. You can avoid attending school for a few days and return to classes after everything's calmed down." Lauren shook her head stubbornly. "It's fine. I'm not scared at all. If | don't show up, everyone will know | was the hostage. If | return to school later, everyone will judgedifferently. That will only make things difficult for me." Angelina was rendered speechless as she secretly admired Lauren's thoughtfulness.
