All of a sudden, Landon was no longer motivated to go to work. As he kissed Lauren''s moist lips, he


    lifted his hand to tug at his tie.

    "Don''t^" Lauren panted softly. She grabbed his hand and said, "It''s already tied. Don''t ruin it. Wait until


    youe home..."


    "Okay. Compensate me when Ie back tonight then," Landon whispered in her ear in a sultry voice.


    Lauren blushed. She nodded shyly.


    Angelina had prepared breakfast. It was almost time, but she only stayed standing by the door. She


    knew that it was best that she didn''t bother them.


    She could hear the sound of flirtatious remarksing from the room. She lifted the corners of her lips


    into a slight smile.


    Landon always stuck close to Lauren until the veryst moment before he left the house.


    "Here''s a small gift for you, darling."


    Landon picked Lauren up and ced her on the chair in front of the vanity table. Then, he opened the


    rectangr jewelry box.


    "Ah. It''s beautiful!" Lauren gasped as sheid her eyes on the gleam of the hair clip made of clear


    quartz.


    "I know that you don''t fancy jewelry. You''ve never worn any of the many jewelry that I''ve bought for you


    previously. But I hope that you''ll use this. Let me put it on for you."


    Landon stood behind her. He picked up her long, smooth hair. He used the method Angelina taught him


    and put her hair up rather clumsily.


    For Lauren''s sake, he had gone above and beyond, doing things he had never imagined himself doing


    before. Yet, he still felt like he was greatly indebted to her. All these were far from enough.


    A momentter, Landon was done putting her hair up. He then clipped her hair up with the quartz hair


    clip.


    The clear quartz itself was splendid, but Lauren was even more dazzling. Her skin was fair as snow,


    and her eyes twinkled. At that moment, no other treasure in the world couldpare to her.


    "Lauren, do you know what it means for a man to do up another woman''s hair?" Landon lowered his


    body and spoke tenderly. "It means that you are my wife. You are a married woman now, Lauren."


    A warm ray of light came through the window, illuminating Lauren''s glowy cheeks. Her eyshes


    fluttered, and her ears turned red.


    Landon walked out of his manor in big strides. Angelina followed behind him.


    "Angelina, did Lauren meet anyone when she was in school these two days?"


    Landon was reminded of the way Lauren hugged him and sobbedst night, as well as her dark circles


    this morning. He couldn''t help but feel bothered by it.


    "Nope. Apart from attending sses and spending time at the art studio honing her craft, she had little


    interaction with others."


    Angelina asked anxiously, "What happened to Madam Lauren, Mr. Landon?"


    "Nothing much. Perhaps Lauren was feeling down because I haven''t been allocating much time for her


    lately."


    "Madam Lauren is going to school to attend the school''s anniversary celebration in the afternoon."


    "Sure. She has been looking forward to it for a long time."


    Landon frowned. He continued in a low voice, "Just make sure that you watch over her. Don''t let any


    idents happen again."


    At 1:00 pm sharp, Lauren arrived at Sna City Arts Academy. She was apanied by Angelina and


    two other bodyguards.


    She was always an introverted and low-key type of person. She also struggled with social anxiety,


    making her highly apprehensive about the sensation of being observed. As such, she wasn''t willing to


    have the bodyguards tailing her.


    Angelina didn''t force her. Furthermore, she had faith in her remarkable skills that, at the very least, no


    one would be able toy their hands on Lauren right here.


    Soon, Lauren and Angelina arrived at the entrance to the academy''s auditorium.


    As the event''s start time approached, banners adorned the exterior of the venue while colorful gs


    fluttered joyfully in the wind. Laughter and chatter filled the air, enveloping Lauren in the ambiance of


    youthfulness.


    Her tension gradually eased away. Her eyes sparkled as a smile slowly came across her face.


    Angelina watched her. A smile of relief spread across her face.


    Indeed, one of the best decisions Landon ever made for Lauren was for her to study at this academy.
