All Chapters of Coaxing Her Back: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

In the seventh year of being with Hansen Fullerton, I secretly bought a wedding dress and mustered up the courage to propose to him.But unfortunately, I was a few minutes late to the gathering that night.I happened to hear his conversation with his friends."You mean Christine? I got bored of her ages ago."Hansen lit up a cigarette and smiled lazily. "It's been seven years. Wouldn't you be sick of her too?"The group erupted in laughter. "That's true. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she'd lose her charm in seven years.""But Christine Lane really is gorgeous.""She has such a great figure. During one of Hansen's birthdays, every guy in the room couldn't stop looking at her when she had that dress on.""Seriously, Hansen, you were so obsessed with her back then. Are you really willing to let her go now?"Hansen said indifferently, "Have I ever lied?""So… You wouldn't mind if I go after Christine?"Hansen exhaled some smoke nonchalantly. "Go ahead, as long as you don't

Landon suddenly laughed. He reached out and brushed his fingertip against my slightly swollen lips. "Then, it'll already be too late even if you regret it later." It was our first time, and Landon didn't even wait until we got to the bedroom.My back hurt a bit rubbing against the wall, and I couldn't stop myself from biting him. "Landon, are you a beast? Don't you know how to be gentle?"His scorching hot palm rested on my back.After that, he panted as he kissed my neck. "Christine, I can't hold back any longer…"After five minutes, I finally understood what he meant.Landon carried me to my bedroom, and I buried my face in the pillow as I laughed uncontrollably."Landon, how long has it been since you've been with a woman?" I asked.Landon looked at me seriously. "It's been a while. I've been busy with work these past few years."I looked at him in surprise, and I felt my laughter fading.A moment later, tears suddenly welled up in my eyes. "I'm so sorry Landon, I…"Stai

As my consciousness slowly slipped away, Landon whispered softly into my ear, "Christine, if it feels good, then never leave me, okay?"The night of Jorgie Zayn's birthday, I had a friend deliver the gift I bought in Harbor City to him.Hansen sat on the couch, smoking. More than half of the bottle in front of him was already empty.Landon had picked the gift with me.It was a pair of vintage cufflinks from a high-end designer brand that he loved."These cufflinks are pretty nice." Jorgie smiled stiffly. He glanced at Hansen's face and didn't dare to say much more as he hurriedly had his girlfriend keep the box."Hand them over," Hansen said suddenly.Jorgie hesitated for a moment but didn't dare to refuse. He quickly handed the box over.Hansen stared at the cufflinks.The brand's logo was discreet and almost unnoticeable, but Hansen stared at it for a long time."Put them away." Hansen closed the box and pushed it aside.Jorgie breathed a sigh of relief and quickly reached

"Do you still have feelings for him?" Landon asked.I thought about it seriously. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel anything at all. After all, it's been so many years."Landon suddenly bit me lightly. "Don't say anything else, Christine."I said, "Let me finish. If you ask me if I feel reluctance or regret, it's not that either."I gently touched his face. "Leaving him didn't make me feel that much pain, so I might have stopped loving him a long time ago. I might even have been preparing myself for the breakup the moment he started losing interest in this relationship.""I won't," Landon suddenly said."What?" I asked."I won't lose interest. I won't be half-hearted. I won't make you cry or hurt you." Landon held me tighter and tighter, and in the end, he kissed me again. "Christine, be with me."But I didn't respond to his kiss.In the end, I even pushed him away. "Landon, I'm sorry.""Why are you sorry?" Landon looked down at me with reddened eyes."It's my problem,"

"Give Landon a call right now. And cancel your flight. I know you're planning on running away again," Linda demanded.I looked at her and felt tears forming in my eyes. "But Linda, do you think Landon and I will end up like that too?""You won't," she denied."Why won't we?" I asked.Linda retorted, "Because I believe that he's a man with enough self-control, who would rather stay single than settle. There's no way he would be stupid enough to lose the girl he loves after he finally gets her. Do you think he's a pig like Hansen?"I shook my head. There was no way he would be like Hansen."So, give him a call, babe. You have no idea how happy he'd be," Linda said.I knew Landon would be happy. But I never imagined that a man in his late 20s, a CEO who had taken over his family's business and achieved outstanding success, would sound so happy when he got my call.Linda smiled and looked at me. "Christine, are you happy?"I nodded. "I think I am.""See? You're happy, Landon's ev
