Can’t Win Me Back

Watching Landon embrace Lauren, Cyrus felt a sting in his eyes and couldn’t help but capture this scene on camera.

“I’m really curious, Mr. Cyrus. When did you find out?” Angelina, playing the pink rabbit, couldn’t contain her curiosity for the first time.

“Perhaps it was my detective’s intuition.”

Cyrus didn’t tell her that feelings like love were something that couldn’t be hidden, no matter how hard the person tried.

The moment the dog character held Lauren in its arms as if she were a treasure, Cyrus knew that it was Landon.

“Please let Mr. Landon and Ms. Lauren stay like this a little longer. We promise not to disturb you anymore,” Angelina pleaded.

“Don’t worry about me. Lauren’s happiness is all that matters.” Cyrus was unaware that his voice was slightly choked when he spoke these words.

Even though he felt reluctant, Landon still sent Lauren back to Cyrus. He was afraid of exposing himself if he continued.

“Why are you crying?” Cyrus handed Lauren a tissue, gently asking.

“Nothing, really…” Lauren replied in a muffled voice while wiping her swollen eyes.

Cyrus knew the reason she cried. Though he was upset, he still showed her a bright smile. “You should be hungry, right? Let’s go. I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”

The dog character gazed fixedly at the two figures growing further away before lowering its large head and stiffly walking in the opposite direction.

Angelina followed him to an empty place and took off the heavy headpiece of the costume. Sweat had caused her hair to cling to her cheeks, and she took deep breaths of fresh air to recover.

“Mr. Landon, you should take yours off too. It’s too suffocating. Mr. Landon?”
