Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

The atmosphere in the dining room was tense. The air around the Harpers was frosty. Neither Cornelius nor Landon was willing to give in. The situation was not going to end well.

"Oh well, Dad, Landon, we don't always get to gather for a meal as a family. Ease up!"

Preston laughed awkwardly. He walked toward Cornelius and helped him to take his seat. He then started to massage his shoulders.

"Dad, Landon has been helping you to manage the vast Harper Corporation. It hasn't been easy on him —working such long hours. He has been a big contributor to our family."

Landon stared coldly at Preston. He thought that he looked untrustworthy. He figured that he wouldn't have anything nice to say.

"Think about it. Has Landon ever requested anything from you all these years?"

Cornelius knitted his brows tightly. He gave it a good thought.

His eldest son, Bill, passed away at a young age. Landon was Bill's only son. Landon started bearing the responsibility of caring for Penelope and Zoe from a very young age.

Moreover, he had been spending time away from home alone all these years. Projects that he invested in reaped a fair amount of earnings. His business expanded in Solana City, and he became more and more successful.

Indeed, he had never made any requests from Cornelius nor asked for any help.

Preston noticed from Cornelius' expression that he had loosened up a little. So, he chuckled, "Now, Landon just wants to take Ms. Lauren as his wife. It's rare for him to make any requests with you. You should just give him your blessing."
