Tsk. You’ll only make me angry with all the talk about money. It’s hurtful” Pouting, he rubbed his chest.
I really like LAN artwork. I had planned to visit Kontina to buy a piece, but I didn’t have the time to do so. You gave me the perfect gift Let’s agree on this¨CI’ll buy the gift from you to make your trip worth it. Plus, I won’t feel guilty for accepting this sculpture. Isn’t that a win situation?
She smiled softly and added, “I really hate owing favors.”
“No! I will never take your money!
“How about asking me for a favor? til do it if it’s within my ability.”
He was delighted to hear that. Grinning wide, he leaned forward and suggested, “Jeremy’s grandpa’s birthday falls next week. Will pos attend the event as my plus one?”
Alyssa said. “Let’s do another one.”
“But you promised to do me a lavor!” Landon frowned like a little brat.
“Ireally can’t agree to that.” Alyssa put on a serious face. I promised Grandpa to show up as his daughter¨Cin¨Claw for the birthday. I will have nothing to do with the Walsh Family after that.
“I’m afraid I’ll only upset him if I show up to his birthday with a male partner. It’s my wish to grant him a memorable 80th birthday. I don’t have much time with him, anyway
A tinge of wistfulness crept into her eyes.
“Allison, you’re a lovely woman. Jeremy lost out on you because he’s blind” Landon sighed.
Upon second thought, he wouldn’t have had a chance with Allison had it not been for Jeremy’s mistake. Jeremy’s loss was Landon’s gain¨Ca chance at love and happiness!
“That’s why I wanted us to do another one.” She caressed the sculpture with much affection,
“How about you call me by my name? ‘Mr. Harper sounds too formal.” He blinked earnestly
“Is that it? My favors don’t come around often, you know.”
“I’m thankful enough that you invited me to dinner!” He gazed at her affectionately and grasped at every chance to charm her
“Shall I call you Landon from now on?” she asked.
“Great! Landon it is.” He was shaking in happiness, thinking their relationship had reached a new level. In his eyes, Alyssa addressing him by his first name was akin to her calling him “darling.”
“Dinner’s ready.” Sean approached them with an apron on his waist. He was gentle to Alyssa but hostile to Landon, “I made his sandwich too. With extra blue cheese.”
He imagined Landon’s stinking breath with much glee.
“Allison, you might not be comfortable around a male nanny. We have a Madam Russell who has worked for us for fifteen years. Should I send her to work for you instead? She’s efficient, hardworking, and a great cook. I grew up eating her food.” Landon gave Sean a side¨Ceve with a smug and victorious look.
Sean almost tore his apron from rage. Landon didn’t seem to know his place!
“I grew up with Sean. He’ll be under me.” Eyes darkening, Alyssa warned him in a low voice. “You like meddling in others business, don’t you?”
Sean felt touched by how Alyssa sided with him while Landon choked on anger. Landon wondered if Seant was Alyssa’s childhood sweetheart
Moreover, he was puzzled by Jonah’s lackadaisical attitude toward Sean¨Cwhy would Jonah allow Sean to hang around Alyssa instead of getting rid of him? He wondered at the possibility of that being Jonah’s way of displaying his magnanimity.
“Wait for me in the dining hall. I’ll put the sculpture away and join you there.”
She placed the artwork into the box and skipped happily up the stairs with it Landon was attracted by her jolly, dance¨Clike steps and furtively took a photo of her back.
Any random photo of Alyssa was a work of art.
At that moment, Landon received a pop¨Cup notification of Jeremy’s text. “In a bad mood. Join me for a few drinks”
Landon was eager to show off and immediately replied with the photo he had just taken. Within seconds, Jeremy called him
“Hello? Landon turned around and picked up the call in a hushed voice. Jeremy’s voice sounded raspy and tenying “Are you at this hour?”
Not only that, I’m at her place, Landon Haunted.
“Where’s that?” Jeremy growled.
“Gosh, did you not know where your ex¨Cwife lives? Well, I can’t tell you. She probably refused to tell you because she didn’t want you harassing her.”
“Landon, I’ll repeat myself one more time. Where is Allison’s place?” Jeremy threatened Landon with a low hiss
Landon covered his mouth and chuckled. “I’m not telling you!
Twenty minutes later, Jeremy showed up in front of Alyssa’s villa. He rolled down the windows and stared at the warm lights from the windows, brustrated at the thought of Landon and Allison alone.
Frowning, he clutched his phone in his sweaty palm. The screen showed the photo of Allison in a S**y, silky nightdress that showed off her lovely curves.
She had only worn loose cotton pajamas in the past, which made her look pregnant. After the divorce, she had let loose of herself and turned into a siren who captivated men everywhere!
His firm chest rose and fell. Looking at the photo, he tugged on the perfect knot on his tie. He felt a rush of temptation.
On the other hand, Landon stared at Alyssa with a long face while she chomped on the blue cheese chicken sandwich. He grew up in a very sheltered environment, where his mom doted on him and catered to his fussy tastebuds. He would never eat something like blue cheese.
“Aren’t you eating? It won’t be nice when it gets cold,” she wondered.
“I¨CI’m too excited to eat.” He squeezed a smile.
“It’s just a sandwich. Do you like blue cheese? I have a lot. Bring some home.”
“No thanks!”
This was a small sacrifice in the pursuit of his crush. He picked up a sandwich and bit into it but immediately started coughing voon smelling the stench. C
He glared at Sean. That guy appeared innocent, but the evil grin on his face exposed his glee.
“Oh, I didn’t know you can’t take blue cheese. You should have told me earlier. It does stink a bit, doesn’t it?” Alyssa attentively poured a glass of water for Landon.
The doorbell rang at that time.
“Tonight’s unusually busy. I’ll take a look.” Sean went to the intercom and pressed the button. He was started and stumbled backward when Jeremy’s face appeared on the screen.
“I’m here for Allison Burton.”
“Who’s that Sean? Alyssa joined Sean with Landon, who looked flushed and agitated from the blue cheese incident. They were bom shocked when they saw Jeremy’s face on the screen.
“How did he Did you tell him? Alyssa connected the dots fast and shot Landon a death stare
“Uh, Allison, I didn’t have a choice. That prick Jeremy threatened mel” Eyes brimming with tears, Landon pressed a hand on his chest in an. attempt to get over the stink of the blue cheese. “He said he’d unfriend me if I refused to share your address. And ¨C
“What else?” She frowned.
“He also threatened to not finalize the divorce. Jonah and I can’t date you if you aren’t divorced.”
Alyssa seethed at Jeremy’s shamelessness, Curting her fists, she pushed Sean behind her and hissed into the intercom, “Why did you show up at my place? Leave now, or I’ll call security.”
“Allison, come out.” Jeremy frowned and sounded a little imitated. She snorted. “Who do you think you are telling me to leave my house”
“Landon, you come out, “Jeremy barked at Landon with fiery eyes.
“No.” Knowing that Jeremy was skilled in combat, Landon was terrified at the idea of going out
“Landon Harper!”
“Mr. Harper is my quest. He came all the way to deliver a gift. There’s no reason for me to kick out my quest who gave me a
The screen went dark but Jeremy’s anary exes were etched on Alyssa’s mind. How could that bastard dare to threaten Landon with the vorce that was tasteless sesaris thinking of keeping me under his thumb forever using the divorce?” she thought furiously.
“Allison, I’m sorry.” Shiming, Landon felt a little uneasy. “It’s all my fault for being a big mouth. I shouldn’t have told him …”
it’s not your faut She took a deep breath and cracked her knuckles, “That shameless prick Jeremy Walsh is to blame! He just won’t let melve in peace
Landon had always acted macho and arrogant in front of ladies. The women around him were mostly submissive and quiet. Therefore, he was fustered by Alyssa’s outburst, which was his first experience of being subjugated by a woman.
Thunder clacced, followed by bolts of lightning. Rain was coming.
“Let’s have dinner. Ignore him.” She left in anger. Standing by the entrance, Landon threw a glance at the door when he was struck by a moment of realization, Did he just backstab his friend just now?
