It was already late into the night when Landon got back home.

Angelina happened to be coming out from the laundry room with a basket full of clothes. She put the basket down to welcome Landon the moment she spotted him.

“Where’s Lauren? Has she gone to bed?” Landon took off his suit jacket and handed it to her. He looked pumped up and ecstatic.

“She has.”

Landon sighed, “I rushed all the way back…”

He was a little disappointed. However, he continued smiling brightly right after. “I’ll just update her tomorrow morning, then.” Angelina blinked. “You have good news, Mr. Landon?”

“Grandpa has agreed.”

Landon was bright-eyed. He was so excited that his voice was trembling. “Grandpa has agreed to me marrying Lauren!” “Really?”

Angelina was overjoyed. Tears welled up, making her eyes glisten. “Congratulations! Your wish to marry Madam Lauren is finally coming true! There’s nothing more joyous than this!”

“Mom called me when | was on my way home. She said that she could agree to accept Lauren. But only on the condition that Zoe has to be allowed to return.”

Landon’s gaze turned cold. He scoffed, “How could that be? Mom was such a simple person. When did she learn to bargain with others? Does she think | will not marry Lauren so long as she disapproves?”
