Chapter 1041
After saying goodbye to everyone, Landon sped home right away.
He had been keeping up a tough, manly act in front of everyone in the past few days. When no one
was around, he secretly swiped longingly through his photos with Lauren, missing his darling wife.
Landon couldn’t take another day without Lauren any longer. He hadn’t been able to eat or rest well
because of it. Seeing Jasper and Alyssa acting so lovey-dovey had been his last straw.
Night fell in Solana City.
The temperature had been rising fast these few days without Landon’s presence. All the plants in the
garden eagerly welcomed the change.
It had been five days without a word from Landon. Angelina didn’t dare contact him, yet she was so
worried it was difficult to enj meal in peace. She only did two things these past few days-ter lovely little
Lauren and wait for Landon to come home.
Angelina stood outside the door tonight, smartly dressed as she awaited his return.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had a feeling Landon would be home soon. If not tonight, then. tomorrow.
Just then, a white luxury car broke the silence of the night. With a shrill screech of the brakes, it came
to a stop beside Angelina.
Tears of joy flooded Angelina’s eyes as she saw Landon exit and march toward the door safely. Her
hands trembled in gratitude.

“You’re back, Mr. Harper.”
“What are you doing waiting out here so late at night?” Landon looked her up and down before he
asked in shock, “You… haven’t been standing here waiting for me every day, have you?”
“No, no. I couldn’t sleep tonight, so I decided to enjoy the night breeze out here. It just so happened
that you came back,” Angelina said with a smile, keeping the truth from Landon.
Her feelings for Landon came from a deep space within her, but she never showed it externally.
“Where’s Madam? Has she gone to sleep?” Landon asked worriedly.
“Yes, Madam Lauren has just gone to bed.”
Landon’s shoulders slumped over as he said in a disappointed tone, Gosh… I drove so fast even the
brakes were whining in complaint, but
I still missed it!”
Landon knew just how deeply Lauren slept. She was like a mode day Sleeping Beauty.
If it weren’t for Landon getting all handsy with her back then and keeping her up, there was no way they
could get anything done during the night. Landon always had to wait till Lauren woke up.
Angelina smiled. “It’s alright, Mr. Harper. At the very least, you no longer need to suffer from longing
and distance.”
That was correct.
But Landon was already burning up from having to hold back these
days. Who could he possibly seek out to help quench his needs? What was he to do? Rub one out

What a pathetic life he had.

Just as Landon was about to enter the household, he noticed a scab on Angelina’s left cheek under the
faint light, like she had been scraped by something sharp.
Landon squinted and noticed Angelina’s left cheek was significantly more swollen than her right.
“What happened to your face?” Landon asked, brows furrowing.
“It’s nothing, Mr. Harper,” Angelina replied as her eyes went downcast, hiding from Landon.
“Nothing? Do you think I’m blind? You were clearly hit in the face!” Anger flooded Landon’s eyes as he
hissed, “Who hurt you? Who dared hurt one of mine when I wasn’t around? I’m going to peel the skin
off his ass!”
Knowing it was futile to hide the truth any longer, Angelina said dejectedly, “Ms. Zoe came by this
afternoon demanding to see Madam Lauren.”
“What was Zoe doing here?” Landon’s heart clenched.
