Can’t Win Me Back

Newton clicked his tongue. "Look at Javier. He's such a blabbermouth. He can't even keep his thoughts to himself."

Newton decided to be frank with Landon. He grinned, “Truth be told, Landon, Javier and I are here to officially propose your marriage to Lauren.”

"Grandpa Newton..."

Landon's breathing became heavier as he became overly emotional. He stuttered, "Grandpa Newton... I..."

All of a sudden, he burst into tears. Tears of joy streamed down his face like a waterfall.

Lauren mustered up all her strength to give Landon a tight hug with her frail body. She lifted her reddened face to look at him as drops of his tears fell onto her face. Although she could not speak, her gaze was full of tenderness and happiness. The look in her eyes gave him great comfort.

“You don't have to say anything, Lauren. I get you."

Tears welled up in Newton's eyes. He put Lauren's and Landon’s hands together. “I am getting old, and so will Javier. You are the only one who can journey with Lauren till the end. You are the only one who can love and pamper her for the rest of her life.

"All that awaits the both of you in the future will only be happy days."

"Grandpa Newton, Mr. Javier... I will surely make Lauren happy.” Landon intertwined his fingers with Lauren's as he uttered this significant promise.

"Ah..." Lauren knelt on the bed as she lifted her hand to wipe away his tears gently.
