Chapter 279 Stay Away From Her

Landon’s expression was as cold as ice. “No, | just arrived early.”

George, casual as ever, leaned in. “I'm curious, Mr. Collins. What's this all about?”

Landon’s response was sharp. “I want you to stop bothering my wife.”

George blinked, caught off guard by the bluntness. “Well, Mr. Collins, I'm not sure | understand what you mean.”

“Really?” Landon’s gaze darkened. “When my wife was in the hospital having our baby, you showed up. | don’t

know if it was on purpose, but | want you to stay away from her.”

George's eyes hardened. “Who are you to tellwhat to do?”

Landon didn’t hesitate. “Because I'm her husband, and I'm the father of our daughter. You? You're just sold

unrequited crush of hers.”

George's eyes widened in shock, Landon knew more than he had expected.

He tried to defend himself. “I didn’t mean to intrude of mine was hospitalized, and | just happened to pass byv.”

Landon scoffed, incredulous. “How convenient! Was your friend slong-lost elementary school classmate who

just so happened to be pregnant? You call the way back from abroad just to look?”

George's heart sank. He had forgotten that Landon was

the hospital's director-he had full access to all patient information.

“Alright,” George admitted reluctantly. “I admit | wanted to see her. But | didn’t want her to notice me.”

He paused, frustration lining his features.

Sometimes, George couldn’t even explain his own actions. He just wanted to see her from a distance, that’s all.

But the thought of Landon treating her poorly? That was another matter entirely.

Landon gave him a chilly stare.

Knew you'd show your true colors sooner or later.

And you're still claiming you're not here to stir up trouble?

“Alyssa doesn’t want to see you,” Landon said flatly. “You rejected her before. Now, what's with this sudden act

affection?”

George flashed a playful smile. “Did she tell you that?”

Landon'’s fists clenched, the frustration building inside him. “She doesn’t want to see you.”

He repeated it, his voice firm, as if it were a warning to George -and a reminder to himself.

George's smile didn’t waver. “Relax. | won't go see her on purpose. Mr. Collins, you're being paranoid. Or is it

that after all these years of marriage, you still can’t make Alyssa fall in love with you?”

The words hit Landon like a punch to the gut. It was a sensitive topic, and George had just made it worse.

“She will love me,” Landon said through gritted teeth, his voice cold with resolve.

With that, he turned on his heel and left.

Sitting in the car, the city streets passing by in a blur, Landon was suddenly hit with the memory of that day-

when Alyssa had been curled up, crying her heart out.

And Landon, always the comforting figure, had smiled softly, wiping away her tears. “Alyssa, you're amazing.

There will be someone who'll love you. If he doesn’t, | will. Okay?”

But in her grief, Alyssa had completely forgotten about that night-her words lost in the fog of her sadness. And

Landon, for all his care, had always been the annoying rival.

Now, sitting there, the weight of their years together felt like a stolen victory—an achievement that made him

uneasy, even anxious.

When Landon finally got home, Alyssa was waiting for him, grumbling, “Landon, your daughter peed. Where

have you been all this time?”

Landon’s gaze softened as he looked at Alyssa, pouting cutely. His heart melted a little.

“Coming. Sorry, | had a business dinner tonight.”

Alyssa leaned in, taking a quick sniff of him. “Fine. No perfume. But Landon, if | ever find out you're cheating,

Landon gave her a helpless smile. “Sweetheart, I'd rather die than cheat on you.”

Alyssa’s eyes widened in mock indignation. “Hey, stop talking nonsense!”

She stood there, hands on her hips, looking more annoyed than upset.

Alyssa couldn’t help but feel speechless. She'd never met someone who would curse themselves like that.

“Okay, okay. I'm wrong. Happy now?” Landon said, his tone light and apologetic.

Alyssa noticed something different in him tonight. He seemed more relaxed, his mood noticeably lighter.

Do men’s moods really change that much?

In the afternoon, Joanne mentioned she wanted to visit Alyssa. Unable to decline, Alyssa had no choice but to

agree.

Alyssa knew full well that Joanne’s real purpose wasn't just a visit, but to question her about receiving the

shares.

Aunt Joanne, you really shouldn't have brought so much stuff.

You're spending too much,” Alyssa said with a bright smile, trying to keep the mood light.

Joanne set the things down, pretending to admire the baby before glancing around the room. “Landon isn’t

home?”

Alyssa blinked, a bit surprised. “He’s busy in the study. Do you need to see him?”

Joanne waved her hand dismissively. “Oh, no. | cto see you today.”

Once she was sure Landon wouldn't be interrupting,

Joanne dropped the pretense. “Alyssa, | heard your grandpa transferred 10% of the company shares to you last
