Female Novel
Chapter 1502
In an instant, Landon felt like he had been shot in the heart. The pain caused his sturdy body to
tremble.
"Back in the Beckett family, Lauren had no sense of self, and she wasn't happy at all. Now that she's
with you, she's become the woman you keep by your side, living life according to your arrangements
and preferences. I don't think being too compliant is good for her."
Jasper lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine. "Take a few days apart from each other to calm down.
It's a chance to think about the future of your relationship and how you want to proceed."
"Jasper... do you even hear what you're saying?"
Landon slammed his hands on the table, causing the wine in the glass decanter to ripple. His eyes
were redder than the wine within.
"When you pursued Alyssa, I never once asked you to give up! Now, when I need advice, you don't
help... and you even want me to give up?
"In the end, I'm just a worthless and irresponsible bastard in your eyes! You never wanted Lauren and
me to be together. From the beginning, you never intended to truly entrust Lauren to me! I really regret
ever being friends with you!"
Jasper frowned at those words. "Landon, you're being too one-sided."
"If it was Alyssa, and I asked you to give up on her, could you? I'm asking you, could you?"
Landon laughed bitterly. "You couldn't, could you? Losing Alyssa would kill you, wouldn't it? Well, it's
the same for me. What's the fucking point of me living if I lose Lauren?
"When you said I should reconsider this relationship and take Lauren away from me... you're killing me.
Not only that, you're scattering my ashes!"
"Lyse and Lauren are different. How much can Lauren endure? Not to mention setbacks, just the
slightest stimulus could make her world collapse!"
Jasper's eyes darkened. His worry and anxiety at this moment were as if he were choosing a son-in-novelbin
law for his daughter. "She can't endure what ordinary people can, and she can't withstand what
ordinary people can bear.
"To love her, you need courage, determination, and patience far beyond those of ordinary people. But
your actions today have clearly shown that you've lost patience. Otherwise, you wouldn't have handled
the situation so forcefully."
Landon's heart sank, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
This time, he had indeed been in the wrong, and he couldn't blame anyone else. Just as the tension
reached its peak, a clear and loud voice rang out. "What's with all the noise in the middle of the night?"
Both men looked up and saw Alyssa standing with her hands on her hips. Her gaze was sharp as she
looked at them from the direction of the living room.
"Lauren's awake, but she's a bit weak," Alyssa said, her complex gaze falling on Landon's gloomy face.
"Go in and see her."
Landon felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He rushed madly upstairs.
Meanwhile, Alyssa walked up to Jasper. She couldn't help but frown and sigh softly.
"I'm not tired." Alyssa's voice was light.
"You're not tired? You're too lazy to even say one more word."
"No way. Your body is so hard. It's not comfortable at all."
