"I understand... I just couldn't help it earlier today. I will definitely be more rational next time." Xavier

stood up and smiled regretfully at Jasper.

"You are only human. It's not wrong to have feelings. You didn't do anything wrong, so you don't have

to be like this. Since you have found the right one for you, you should then aim for the right timing."

Jasper got out of his seat and took a few steps toward the cellar door. All of a sudden, he stopped in

his tracks and squinted.

"You didn't give Maggie a tacky luxury item as a gift, did you? That's boring, thoughtless, and

meaningless. If so, I'm not surprised to hear that she didn't accept your present."

Xavier felt called out. He was so ashamed.

All the way back home, Lauren was a little sulky. She didn't say much either.

By the time they crawled into bed, Landon couldn't restrain himself any longer. His eyes were filled with

passion. He slipped his hand under her white-colored nightgown.

Their fingers interlocked with one another's. Heavy breathing ensued as their sweat became one.

Tonight, he gave his all tirelessly. Her lips, her waist, her breasts. He loved all of her.

At last, Landon sat up while he kept Lauren cradled tightly in his arms. As they enjoyed one another, he

felt like she was as bright as the sun. It was as if she was making his entire body burn up.

Lauren lay limply in Landon's arms. She could barely keep her eyes open. It didn't bother her that they

were still united as one.

Landon gave her a peck on her forehead, which was covered in perspiration. "You've been good,

darling. What shall I reward you with, hmm?" he asked in a sultry voice.

In a daze, Lauren answered, "I. I want. I want to eat the teddy bear cake."

Landon's pupils constricted, and his heart dropped. "What?"

"The teddy bear is really cute. I'm craving a bite." Lauren wasn't satisfied that she didn't get to have the

dessert. Her longing for the dessert made her salivate. She licked her lips.

"Lauren." Landon urged once again, "Is it really just a craving? Or are you thinking of the person who

gave you the cake, hmm?"

This hum was noticeably more strained than the one before, laden with his possessiveness, enough to

make her tremble.

"Landon, why are you being like this?"

"Answer me," he questioned in a hoarse voice. His response sounded like it was full of resentment.

Lauren's heart was beating as fast as a hummingbird's wings. She no longer felt as sleepy as before.

She stuttered, "I... I want to eat the teddy bear cake. I'm just craving it, Landon."

Upon hearing her reply, Landon's uneasy heart settled down temporarily. However, he wasn't willing to

let go of her yet. He kissed her intensely as if he was about to take every breath out of her lungs.

"Darling, next time, you cannot take anything any other man gives you. You can only take what I give.

I'm the only one you can have eyes for. You can only." Landon's voice trailed off. A look of grievance

flashed across his eyes.

He loved her. He loved her to the bone.



It was all because he loved her too much. Otherwise, he wouldn't be such a scarily fussy partner. Even

the slightest sign of trouble would now worry him.

By the second half of the night, Lauren begged for him to stop. If not for her, they might have ended up

staying up all night.

When she fell asleep, Landon took the opportunity to get out of bed. He spent almost half an hour

taking a cold bath. Without even bothering to dry himself off, he put his pajamas on.

He picked up his phone and rang Angelina up.

Soon enough, Angelina arrived at his bedroom door in decent-looking attire.

"How can I be of service, Mr. Landon?"

"It's about the dessert shop that Lauren likes. I want you to go there first thing tomorrow morning and

buy over their business!" Landon commanded through gritted teeth. His fists were clenched.

Angelina was shocked. Hesitantly, she asked, "That's a well-established shop and a family-run

business. They go back almost a century. I doubt that they would agree to your proposal."

"If that's the case, we'll have Harper Group invest in them! The bottom line is that as long as Lauren

craves their desserts, they'd have to deliver them to our doorstep as soon as possible! If they disagree,

I will make sure that their damn shop ceases to exist in Solana City!"

He slammed the bedroom door shut.

Angelina stood there for a while, feeling befuddled. Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, and her

eyes widened in realization. She wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry in response.
