Chapter 402

“This is Haffen Cellar’s 1998 Merlot. It boasts a rich, deep shade of purple and offers a clean, intense,

and full-bodied flavor profile. Notable notes include black fruits, caramel, mocha, and lemongrass. It

also presents a balanced combination of tannins and acidity.

Landon stared in amazement at Lauren. She wasn’t just a talented painter. She was also an amateur

sommelier!

Despite his years of running nightclubs and owning private vineyards in Furancia and Vitelia, he

couldn’t

hold a candle to Lauren’s wine expertise.

She was a woman of substance.

On the other hand, Zoe and Betty were in no mood for partying anymore. The only thing they wished

was

to barge into Landon’s lounge and drag Lauren out for a good beating.

“Zoe, I told you so!” Betty was holed up in the restroom, tears streaming down her face. Half of her

faker

lashes were in disarray.

She exclaimed, “There’s definitely something going on between Lauren and your brother! You saw it,

too, right? He made such a fuss just to find Lauren’s teddy bear. When has he ever shown that level of

attention to any other woman?



“He could have given you all his attention but chose to dote on Jasper’s sister! Zoe, I don’t know how

you

feel about this, but I can’t stand this anymore! It’s so unfair!”

While scoring pity points, she tried hard to fan the fire.

In reality, her efforts to stoke this emotional fire were unnecessary, as Zoe was seething with anger.

Zoe grumbled, “How could Landon do that? He has never shown me that level of care!”

Back when Zoe was younger, she always misplaced her expensive toys and cried because she

couldn’t find them. Whenever this happened, Landon would buy her a better and more expensive toy

without

complaining.

Zoe had always believed that these gestures indicated Landon’s love for her, but they paled in

comparison to the devotion he showed Lauren.

Landon, who typically avoided any inconvenience, turned ACE upside down just to search for Lauren’s

teddy bear.

She tried not to think about it, for every time she did, she felt heartbroken.

“Jasper has been taking Lauren’s side at home, and now she’s won over Landon too. Putting aside my

chances with Landon, you will be sidelined sooner or later!” Betty lamented.

“That bitch should take a look in the mirror before competing with me for Landon’s attention!” Seeing

red,” -Zoe couldn’t take it anymore and stormed out of their lounge in her high heels.

As soon as Zoe left, Betty’s tears stopped. A grin spread across her face as she hummed a tune and

fixed her fallen fake eyelashes in the mirror.

Lauren and Landon found themselves rather tipsy after having a little too much to drink.

Normally a tacit person, Lauren seemed to transform when under the influence of alcohol. She became

unusually talkative.

Landon, however, loved her change and found comfort in listening to her endless chatter.

“Did you know that women are naturally more attuned to colors?” Lauren began.

Flushing, she took two sips of the wine and explained, “It’s all because of a gene for vision cone light-

sensitive proteins on the X chromosome. Women have one more X chromosome than men, making us

more sensitive to colors!”

“Oh, is that so?” Landon smiled and squinted at her. His gaze traveled down to her pouty lips and down

to her petite feet hidden under her unassuming sneakers. The look in his eyes deepened.

“And you know, they say women are ‘made of water,’ but it’s actually men who have a higher body

water percentage at 60%. Women have more fat than water!”

It had been a while since she had been able to speak so openly and freely with someone.

Suddenly, they were plunged into darkness. Fazed, she questioned disorientedly, “Landon, is there a

power outage at your club?”

Her words were silenced as he captured her in a passionate kiss she caught a whiff of his masculine



scent, her breath stolen by the intensity of the moment.

Her heart raced, every ounce of blood rushing to it.

Meanwhile, he dropped to one knee, his fingertips gently grazing her chin as he engaged her in a

fervent kiss. Their lips and teeth clashed in a fiery embrace, heated breath mingling between them.
