“Bravo! Great speech!” However, Newton excitedly patted Jasper on the shoulder, nearly causing


    Jasper


    to barf.


    Justin fell silent for a moment, then chuckled and offered encouragement, saying. “Good, I’m d


    you’re


    determined. I wish you all the best in winning Alyssa back.”


    “Thank you, Justin,” Jasper muttered, but Justin’s mention of winning Alyssa back left him feeling


    uneasy.


    Newton took the phone and cheerfully greeted Justin, ‘Justin, how’s life abroad? I’ve heard the


    beaches


    are fantastic! When will you show me around and soak up some sun?”


    “Grandpa, there’s no ce like home,” Justin replied with augh. “Considering your age, I’d rather not


    have you take the long journey to Mosgravia. Perhaps we can meet in Sna City once I’m feeling


    better.”


    Jasper felt miffed but kept hisposure.

    “Hahaha! That’s great, too. I so wish you coulde home and reunite with your family!” Newton


    sighed. and added, “Don’t push yourself too hard. I’m aware of your health condition, and I won’t me


    you for staying abroad. I can visit you from time to time.


    “After all, it’s just a ten-hour flight on a private jet, How tiring could that be?”


    After a brief chat, Newton finally hung up.


    Javier’s eyes brightened as he asked, “Dad, did Justin say he’sing home? Is that true?”


    Newton had a twinkle in his eye, but before he could respond, they were interrupted by Ben, who


    knocked on the door and announced, “Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Landon, and Ms. Lauren have arrived.”


    “What? Is Lauren here too?” Javier eximed.


    Alyssa and Landon entered, with Landon confidently holding Lauren’s hand. He showed no sign of


    embarrassment as if they were officially dating.


    Meanwhile, Lauren bashfully hid behind Landon with flushed checks. Alyssa, who had followed the


    couple into the room, felt a tinge of frustration and helplessness but knew it wasn’t right to break them


    up.


    “Landon, what’s going on?” Javier stared at their intertwined hands in shock.


    “Dad!” Landon greeted Javier with a grin, surprising everyone.


    Alyssa almost choked and shot a disapproving look at Landon. He had always referred to Javier as


    Uncle Javier” or “Mr. Javier,” but now he had called him “dad”.


    Javier stiffened and questioned Landon what do you mean?”


    Landon inhaled deeply and raised his and Lauren’s interlocked hands. Heunched into a rehearsed


    speech “Dad Lauren and I are deeply in love I’m head over heels for your daughter. My love for her is


    deeper than the ocean and higher than the mountains


    Alyssa and Jasper cringed at Landon’s cheesy speech


    Landon please stop. This is so embarrassing Lauren interjected, unable to bear listening to Landon’s


    words Her face turned deep red, and she squeezed his hand tightly
