Chapter 399

Landon almost melted from Lauren calling his name. He swallowed hard as he surprisingly found his blood rushing.

The tears that rolled off her reddened eyes sent ripples across his heart. Almost instantly, he put aside the memory of that night when she left him behind.

"Oh, did Alyssa give it to you?" He scrunched up his eyes and wiped away her tears with his coarse fingertips.

She gave him a hard nod. Her nose was red.

"Where? Did you lose it in the club?"

She nodded again, her eyes red from crying.

"Don't worry. I'll help." He took her hand and led her to the stage with everyone's eyes on them.

A dreamy light was cast on them, creating a picturesque scene.

Lauren timidly looked at her feet but stole occasional glances at him.

He might look unfriendly, but she had to admit that he was beautiful. He had chiseled and regal features that were unrivaled and a pair of hawkish eyes.

She pursed her lips as she stealthily checked out his features and etched his face in her memory.
