Can’t Win Me Back

Landon was finally done preparing for his wedding with Lauren at Bernardia.

He had made arrangements according to Lauren's preferences.

Over the past month or so, Landon wished that he could split himself into multiples of himself.

He had to look after Lauren, manage Harper Group, and manage the decorations at the wedding venue —from personnel assignments, their wedding photo shoot, and the positioning of even a small pot of flowers—everything had to be vetted by him.

He made sure that he was all hands-on.

His private plane flew between Bernardia and Solana City multiple times, so much so that he used up a considerable amount of fuel.

Jordan was worried that it would all be too tiring for Landon.

He offered to go to Bernardia on his behalf to keep watch over the preparations there, but Landon refused adamantly.

He would rather see to it himself.

He didn't care if he was jet-lagged or that he was losing sleep.

He made sure that he went there in person to have a hand in the decorating work.

"Why do you have to tire yourself out like that, Mr. Landon?" Jordan's heart ached for Landon.

Landon looked like a shadow of his former self —gaunt, eyes bloodshot and rimmed with exhaustion.

"You can just leave these trivial matters to me.
