A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 105
Lucille glanced at Yves and said coolly, "You don't know how anything will turn out if you don't try it, right? Or are you afraid to take me up on this bet?"Yves couldn't stand being challenged, especially by women who'd caught his eye. "Fine, then. I'll play along with you."His words and actions made it clear he didn't think Lucille stood a chance against him, and it was as if he already thought of her as his. His gaze grew even more lecherous.Kent's heart sank when he heard that Lucille and Yves were going to spar. He wondered whether it'd be better for him to call an ambulance for Yves beforehand.Lucille wore an evening gown, which made it hard for her to move around. Despite that, she'd still made such a ridiculous bet with Yves. Scarlett approached her and said, "You're wearing an evening gown, Lucy. It's not convenient for you to move. How about we just forget about this?"This was her third time expressing her concern for Lucille, and the latter couldn't help finding he

The spectators had only seen Lucille wave a hand before Yves had fallen into the pond. It was terrifying—all she'd done was stand there and move a hand, yet it had been enough to make Yves fall. Everyone suddenly felt like they were the ones who'd grossly underestimated her.Kent was taken aback by how things had played out. He hadn't known that Lucille was capable of something like this, and his admiration for her grew.Lucille had never intended to draw blood during this "fight", so she'd taken the easy way out by throwing Yves into the pond. It was enough to teach him a lesson.After all, they were at Layton Manor, and she didn't need to take things too far. The bet had just been an excuse.Scarlett, who was closest to Lucille, was dumbfounded. What had just happened? How had Yves ended up in the pond?Everyone else was also stunned. It was pathetic for someone who was supposed to be as strong as a pro wrestler to end up being thrown into a pond in less than a minute. Yves ha

"Ha! Who knows whether the little bitch is the one who tried to seduce Yves? Look at that slutty, vixen-like face of hers! It's obvious she came here to seduce one of the Layton men," Fiona spat. "She thinks too highly of herself if she thinks she's worthy of joining this family!"She made Lucille out to be a promiscuous woman who'd come to Layton Manor to seduce anyone she could.Lucille stoically watched things play out from beginning to end. Then, she looked at Fiona lazily and snorted. "It's not up to you to decide whether or not I'm a slut, Madam Cooper."She smirked and continued, "At least I came here through proper means, unlike you. I didn't start as anyone's mistress."Fiona was stunned into silence. Everyone else couldn't believe Lucille had publicly shamed Fiona like that.Fiona was Sylvester's third wife, and she'd been his mistress in the past. Rumor had it that his first wife had passed away and that he'd divorced his second wife. But one thing was for sure—Fiona

The only other person most Layton family members feared, besides James and Spencer, was Lila. She was known for being sharp-tongued, and she did whatever she wanted. She didn't fear anyone and always protected her people.This extended to the upper crust. No one dared to face off against her—she had Eric's love, and Spencer was her son. She also hailed from the Porter family, which had many members in the army and politics. It was a family no one dared offend."Lila, Yves is your nephew. Lucille is just a woman who's yet to officially join the family!" Sylvester protested, hoping against hope that he could make Lila see sense."My daughter-in-law means more to me than a nephew ever could. She's someone our family has accepted—how can you say she's an outsider?" Lila said. At the same time, she approached Lucille and affectionately linked arms with her.Sylvester stared at her incredulously. He couldn't believe Lila was siding with an outsider.Lucille turned to give Lila a grate

"Why would someone who has my heart need to seduce your son?" A man's icy and ruthless voice rang out.Spencer was back. He stood out amongst the crowd, making everyone fade into the background. His presence was daunting, and everyone couldn't help feeling fearful of him.Lila automatically stepped aside to make way for him when she saw him. He approached Lucille, his expression frosty. He wrapped an arm around her waist as everyone watched. Then, he lowered his head to look at her gently.He said, "I'm sorry I was away for so long. I had to attend to something."She smiled. "It's fine. You didn't miss anything."Spencer's apology sent shockwaves through the crowd. He was the arrogant head of the Layton family and was infamous for being ruthless. He was the king of the world. When had he ever been so humble with anyone? And his gentle tone was oddly scary…The situation was getting weirder by the second. Some people started praying for Yves; it looked like he'd offended someone h

Meanwhile, Arthur was in James' suite, reporting everything that had happened to the latter. James didn't get mad upon hearing about the matter. On the contrary, he laughed heartily and said, "It looks like Lucy really is the most suitable woman for Spencer.""How so?" Arthur asked."Being the matriarch of the Layton family isn't just about coming from a powerful family. A person's family background doesn't mean anything to us. To be able to handle the pressure, one has to be brave and intelligent."The fact that Lucy dared to start something at Layton Manor shows how gutsy she is. Besides, she only taught Yves a simple lesson—she didn't cause a huge ruckus. That shows that she knows where to draw the line."James smiled and continued, "She didn't take things too far, and she didn't act too obnoxiously or too humbly. She took the opportunity to show everyone what she's made of."His admiration for Lucille was growing by the second.Arthur nodded at his words. "This family isn't

When Spencer and Lucille arrived at Orchidstone Garden and drove past the guardhouse, the security guard called out to Lucille politely. "Ms. Johnson, a parcel was delivered for you earlier. The management office asked me to inform you when I saw you so that you can pick it up when you have the time."She smiled politely in return. "Alright. Thanks."She'd forgotten about the chocolates her friend, Moira Norris, had sent her. When the car stopped in front of Lucille's apartment building, Mack said, "We'll collect the parcel for you, Mrs. Layton."Lucille didn't turn him down. "Okay. Thanks."Spencer pulled her into the elevator. Once they entered the apartment, Lucille went to change out of her evening gown into something comfortable.Shortly after, the doorbell rang. She answered the door to see Mack holding a carton."Oh, come in." She stepped aside to make way for him.He entered the apartment. He headed to the living room, where he saw Spencer come out of the bedroom with

Spencer couldn't believe someone would send Lucille a whole cardboard box full of chocolates, especially since they were worth 3,300 dollars per box.Since he'd found out about Lucille's low blood sugar, he'd started searching for chocolates and candies that were good for her. The chocolates he was looking at right now was the type he'd found, and he'd asked someone to ship a box over just a few days ago.These chocolates couldn't necessarily be bought if one had money alone. They were limited in number, and he'd only managed to purchase one box.Yet now, there was a whole carton in front of him. This led to a question—who was generous enough to give this to Lucille?Spencer started to feel a little pissed.When Lucille returned to the living room after her bath, she saw him sitting on the couch in a daze. She walked over to him and said, "I'm done. It's your turn now."She'd just had a bath, and the scent of the shower gel wafted into Spencer's nose. He looked up and pulled her

In the bathroom, Lucille was relaxing as she enjoyed the care she was receiving from Spencer. They had seen each other like this for too long, and they had gotten used to it by now. Of course, it had taken her time to get used to it. Every time she was injured, she would end up receiving this treatment, but… While she might have gotten used to it, it was still a kind of punishment for Spencer."Honey, your shirt is wet. Why don't you take it off?"She noticed that half of his black shirt was wet and sticking closely to his body. The wet shirt perfectly outlined his muscular build.She couldn't help but gulp. This was pretty deadly to her too.He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked simply irresistible. Her heart couldn't help but race. As he carefully wiped her arm, he avoided the injury on her right hand. It was already torture for him to help her bath. However, when he suddenly he

"So, you can't blame Eunie for not telling you, and you can't blame us for keeping you in the dark."In other words, Ian had brought it upon himself, and there was no one else to blame but himself.Ian was rendered speechless. He'd never thought that this was how Eunice saw him—a ruthless person who would get rid of his own child.He mocked himself inwardly. He also felt hurt, as if something were stabbing him.After Lucille was done talking, she saw Ian look visibly upset and didn't say anything. So, she whispered to Spencer, "Do you think I went too far with what I said earlier? Can he take it?"Spencer rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry. He can take it. Besides, what you told him is the truth. If he can't handle it, he isn't worthy to be our buddy."Lucille nodded in agreement after she heard that. What Spencer said made sense. She felt at ease after he comforted her.After a while, Ian finally spoke up again. "So, I shouldn't go and look for her?"Lucille was surprised

"I'm here for you!"Upon hearing that, Lucille was rendered speechless. On second thought, she realized this was fine too.Then, she looked at Spencer and blinked before she said, "Don't leave me. I'm injured right now, so I can't fight him."Ian glowered at her words, feeling at a loss for words. Did he look like someone who would lay a hand on a woman?Spencer looked at her dotingly and responded, "Okay. I won't leave you."Ian was just flabbergasted now."What's the matter, Ian?" With Spencer to back her up, Lucille felt at ease. Even if she hadn't said anything, she knew Spencer wouldn't have left her alone with Ian.Ian suddenly smiled. "It looks like you have quite the luck. The hospital is practically your second home."Lucille was rendered speechless. Then, she smiled and looked at Spencer before she provoked Ian. "My home is wherever my husband is. We're not like some people, for whom having a wife seems to make no difference whatsoever." She'd never lost to anyone b

Ian turned to look at Lucas. It was obvious that he seemed to be wondering why Lucas had asked that. When Lucas saw Ian's expression, he knew that Ian had never thought about it. In other words, he had no recollection of what he had done and said."I'm going back to be with my wife. You guys just carry on." Spencer stood up and smoothed out the creases on his clothes as he spoke indifferently. After all, it had been a while since he'd left the ward.With that, he strode toward the door without waiting for the others to say anything. Connor was eager to see how things would unfold, so he didn't leave.…Meanwhile, after Beatrice left, Spencer returned to the hospital ward. When Lucille saw him coming in, she asked, "Where have you been?"He took off his coat and put it aside. Then, he walked to the bed and sat down. "I went to investigate some stuff."Lucille figured out what it must have been about and asked, "You went to investigate Alexander and my mom?"Spencer, who wa

"Ian, what brings you here?" Connor had no idea about Eunice's situation in Arcania, so he was quite surprised when he saw Ian.Although he was surprised, he wasn't blind. He could see that Ian had a hostile air about him.Looking puzzled, Connor glanced at Lucas, who was seated next to him, for an explanation. After all, he knew Spencer wouldn't tell him.After Ian came in, he didn't even bother to sit and directly asked, "Where is she?"Last night, he'd received Lucas' message—the latter had told him that he knew Eunice's location and wanted him to come to Arcania immediately. That was why Ian had rushed to Arcania without any delay.Lucas hadn't told him the exact location. Instead, he'd just told Ian to come to the hospital. Ian had thought that something had happened to Eunice and that she was hospitalized. So, he'd rushed to the hospital as soon as he'd gotten off the plane. However, after he'd come to his senses, he'd gotten someone to check the hospital's patient list.

Before Beatrice spoke, she looked at the entrance of the hospital ward. After ensuring that no one was coming, she said, "Although we found out that all four of Mr. President's children's last names are Vonridge, they don't seem to be his biological children."Lucille widened her eyes, looking surprised. She cocked an eyebrow and asked, "What did you just say?""They were adopted from the orphanage. Our database has their information, and it's a 100% match," Beatrice replied.Lucille naturally wouldn't doubt that the information in Otearl Alliance's database was incorrect. However, she had never heard anyone mention this before.At the same time, Spencer, who had just left, had gone to investigate something as well.After they'd returned in the afternoon, he'd instructed Kent to conduct an investigation. The news that Kent came back with shocked Spencer to the core.Connor and Lucas were also there. They were in a lounge."Spence, how could Lucille's mom also know Alexander?"

Diana let out a long sigh. Her words were tinged with helplessness and regret. "This is your aunt. She hasn't appeared for more than 20 years. I never expected her to be gone for this long. There has been no news from her. She must hate me very much."Samantha had no idea what had happened. Her aunt's name and everything related to her had always been taboo in the Crawford family."Is it possible that Ms. Deer is my aunt's child?" Samantha asked.If that was the case, it was quite a coincidence.Diana looked at the photo album in her hands. After a brief silence, she said, "I want to meet her. Don't tell anyone about this for now."Samantha nodded. "Okay."…Meanwhile, in Arcania, Alexander also left the venue after Lucille and the others left.After Alexander left, he immediately had someone to investigate Lucille's past. Back then, after Jane had suddenly left, she had covered all her tracks. No matter how Alexander had searched, he hadn't been able to find her. There hadn't
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 697
When Diana took a closer look, her hands, which had been leisurely tapping on the armrests, suddenly froze.At first, Samantha didn't notice anything unusual about her reaction."Grandma, the best thing I got out of this trip was getting a photo with my idol." She went on and on. "It's the first time I got to see Ms. Deer's real face, and she's very beautiful. No wonder she always wears a veil. Although she looks aloof, I think the way she talks sounds gentle."By the way, she is married. Her real name is Lucille Johnson, and she's from Whiteloop City in Summeria. There was an unexpected incident during the competition, and it was quite despicable. I didn't expect her family to turn out completely different from how I'd imagined them to be."Samantha pouted as she stared at the photo of her and Lucille. She'd always thought that someone outstanding like Lucille would have a perfect family; she hadn't expected things to turn out like that.After the competition had ended, Samantha
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 696
Meanwhile, after Samantha had participated in the perfumery competition, she'd stayed in Whiteloop City for about a week before returning to Crawford Residence in Marvonia.She had been declared the champion of this year's perfumery competition. After she'd returned, she'd chosen to keep a low profile and hadn't celebrated or gone around boasting about it.However, she'd forgotten that Natasha Crawford, her mother, had a strong sense of pride.Since Samantha had been young, she'd had to excel in everything and come in first to meet Natasha's expectations. Only then could Natasha hold her head high and brag about Samantha in front of everyone. At the same time, she could enjoy the flattery from those around her.So, the day after Samantha had returned, Natasha had gathered everyone and thrown a party to celebrate her victory. The room had been filled with people she hadn't known, but they'd all been important figures. That night, after making an appearance, Samantha had left the
