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.

“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!”

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?”
