A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 154
"Mrs. Layton, why don't you give me your keys? I'll drive your car back; you can ride with boss," Kent said to Lucille respectfully as they stood outside the Johnson residence.She handed him her keys. "Oh, okay. Thanks."Once she and Spencer were in the car, she asked, "How did you know I was here?"She played with his fingers and narrowed her eyes at him curiously, taking in his handsome face. She remembered that she hadn't told anyone she was coming here. Then, it hit her, and she leaned close to ask tentatively, "Do you have someone tailing me?"Spencer looked down at her, his gaze gentle and doting. He smiled and said, "You're a genius, honey. Isn't it a waste that you're not passing that on to our children?"Lucille frowned. He'd changed the topic with a single sentence. She thumped his chest with her fist and said in exasperation, "Take this seriously. I'm asking you a proper question!"She was about to move her hand away when he quickly grabbed her wrist. She tried to p

After a full minute, Lucille finally answered Spencer, "There seem to be quite a number of people. You're in the top ten, though."He saw how serious she was and felt exasperated. She was so dense!Mack and Seamus silently lamented Spencer's fate. It was sad for him to be so low on the list. They couldn't help thinking that Lucille was ruthless for refusing to lie to Spencer, even though it was for a good reason.It looked like Spencer didn't hold much importance in Lucille's heart. He had to work hard to get into the top three.Spencer sighed deeply, feeling frustrated. "So, you're unwilling to lie to me to make me happy?"Lucille said, "Why should I lie? I'm leaving you with room to improve. Who knows—maybe you'll get into the top three with some hard work!"Spencer was lost for words. He didn't seem to have any reason to refute her. Then again, what could he do when all he wanted was to dote on her? He couldn't reprimand her or get physical with her. All he could do was live

"You should stop admiring me, Mr. Sanders. I worry you won't be able to handle it," Lucille warned coldly.It was precisely her arrogance and iciness that Charles liked. She was like a wildcat, and he wanted to conquer her.Still, after being involved with his fair share of women, he knew conquering Lucille would be harder than a moon landing. Since he couldn't date her, he figured it wouldn't be too bad to be her business partner.He trusted his judgment and could tell Lucille would surprise him more in the future. His lips were just starting to curve into a smile when he froze at her next words.She glanced at him and said, "You don't have to act like you're a flighty playboy, Mr. Sanders. The fact that you've managed to keep your head down in the Sanders family for so many years tells me that you've long gotten tired of your façade."Charles' expression darkened. His eyes glinted coldly as he looked Lucille in the eye. He'd indeed concealed his true colors from the Sanders fa

That day, Sabrina returned to work at Johnson Group. She'd been recuperating at home since her suicide attempt.After leaving the perfume laboratory, she passed by the pantry and heard people chatting inside. She didn't know what they were talking about but stopped when she heard them mention Star&Ciel Group."Did you guys see the trending topics?" one employee asked."What's it about this time? I've been busy all day and just managed to squeeze out some time for a break. I haven't checked my phone yet," another answered."Half an hour ago, Star&Ciel Group held a press conference to announce the launch of a reed diffuser called 'Shooting Star'. They're entering the reed diffuser market, and the news went viral almost instantly. It's made it to the trending topics.""Whoa, are you serious? I can't believe they held a press conference and launched a new product without anyone hearing about it. They've done a good job keeping things under wraps!" a third employee said."I know, righ

"My God. Mrs. Layton's really something. Even her company's reed diffusers are more unique than everyone else's." Mack and the other assistants were on their phones, watching the livestream of Star&Ciel Group's press conference to boost the number of viewers.It actually didn't matter whether they were watching—there were already more than 500 thousand people watching the livestream, and the number was steadily increasing.Shooting Star was a line of reed diffusers with the four seasons as its main theme. The products for each season used flowers that corresponded to the seasons as the main ingredients. Different flowers were used for the top, heart, and base notes.That wasn't all. The packaging of the products was based on the galaxy and stars in the sky. It was beautiful and exquisite—that alone made the product worth collecting. One more unique selling point was that each bottle would have a quote engraved on it, which would be different for each bottle.The online community

At 5:30 pm, Lucille received a call from an unknown number. "Hello, who is this?"A woman's voice rang out on the other end of the line. "Hi, Mrs. Layton. My name is Bethany Somner. Mr. Layton sent me to take you back to Sparrow Residence. I'm already outside your office."Only then did Lucille remember Spencer mentioning something about this. She said, "I drove here, so you can just lead the way. I'll follow you."Bethany insisted. "I'll drive you home, Mrs. Layton. I'll have someone take my car back."Lucille didn't continue turning Bethany down when she heard her firm tone. She told Bethany where her car was and told the latter to wait for her in the basement parking lot.When Lucille reached downstairs, she noticed a tall, slender figure standing in front of a black Mercedes-Benz G class with her back straight.Her hair stopped right above her shoulders, and she looked cool. Lucille took in her black leather outfit as she approached her.Bethany greeted her, saying, "Mrs. La

It was 7:00 pm when Lucille, Jonathan, and Bethany arrived at Sparrow Residence. It was actually Lucille's first time there; she'd only heard about it before today. Now that she was seeing it in person, she saw how beautiful and grandiose it was.The butler, Herbert Baker, was already waiting at the entrance with the rest of the household staff. Lucille was taken aback when she saw them. Wasn't this a little too much?Jonathan followed her closely after getting out of the car. With her around, he could keep his emotions steady. He was still shocked by the welcoming entourage, though. There were way too many household staff.Herbert had seen photos of Lucille ages ago, so he recognized her immediately. Her unique bearing of regality and iciness also made her stand out. It was hard for anyone to ignore her.He stepped forward and said respectfully yet amicably, "Welcome home, Mrs. Layton."The household staff behind him repeated in unison, "Welcome home, Mrs. Layton!"Lucille was

Yet, when Lucille went to the window, she didn't see anything outside. She frowned. Had she been hallucinating? Why did she feel like she'd heard a beast's roar?She was about to turn away and return to bed when the bedroom door creaked open. She instantly noticed it and whipped around. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the huge tiger that had suddenly appeared in the room.His fur was snow-white—there wasn't a single strand that was different or out of place.Lucille stiffened. Why was there a tiger in the manor?Only a thin sheet of glass stood between her and the tiger. The tiger bared his teeth at Lucille and growled fiercely as if she'd intruded on his territory. His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at her.Lucille didn't move. She watched the tiger for a while before mouthing, "Let's have a nice chat, Mr. Tiger."She was infinitely grateful to Roger Gill, who'd forced her to learn animal taming from him for a month. If not for that, she wouldn't be able

A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 704
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
