A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 158
"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

Lucille woke up at 8:00 am. The first thing she did was grab her phone. Finally, there was a message from Spencer, telling her to call him once she was awake.She gave him a video call without even thinking—it turned out that she wanted so badly to see him. Yesterday, she'd finally understood what people meant when they said absence made the heart grow fonder. She'd realized that Spencer's absence in her life scared her.Spencer answered after a few rings, but he changed the call to a regular one instead of a video call."Hi, honey!" Lucille's tone was sweet and gentle, and her voice was a little raspy because she'd just woken up. She had no idea how alluring and seductive she sounded."Are you seducing me with your voice so early in the morning?" Spencer asked.Lucille was taken aback, and her face burned. What was he even talking about? When had she seduced him? She'd spoken normally, hadn't she?"Why didn't you accept my video call?" she asked, switching the subject. Still,

At 11:30 am, Lucille received a call from Spencer. After a few sentences, she realized that he sounded a little weird. "Did you catch a cold? Why do you sound a little hoarse?"Spencer had just woken up and had a low fever because of his injury. So, his voice sounded different. He said, "I'm fine. I just talked a bit too much during a meeting."Afraid that she would worry, he added, "Don't you worry about me. I'm as healthy as can be—nothing will affect your future quality of life."Mack happened to enter the room just then. He'd brought Spencer a glass of water. His lips twitched when he heard the latter's words. He had to applaud Spencer for being able to act like he was fine just so Lucille wouldn't realize he was injured.Marvonia and Whiteloop City were in different timezones—it was 3:30 am for them, and Spencer had gotten up to call Lucille without getting any proper rest.For some reason, Lucille's mind went down the gutter when she heard Spencer's words. She couldn't hel

"Is the Layton family behind this assassination attempt?" Zachary narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp. He looked like the boss of a gang.Spencer had just gotten his dressing changed. His lips were pale, and his deep voice was even hoarser than usual. "Maybe."Maybe? Zachary, Ethan, and Lucas were a little surprised. What was that supposed to mean?"We found the guy, but nothing actually points to him being the mastermind. Everyone and anyone that we can link anything to are only scapegoats," Spencer explained.Ethan snickered. "Not bad. This fellow's pretty good at hiding."Then, Zachary said, "Wait, you shouldn't have gotten injured with your skills."He rubbed his jaw. "Unless… you allowed it to happen. The accident from before didn't work out, so you're using this as a way to lure him out?"Spencer didn't say anything this time, but that was enough of an answer."Then, you had Mack and the others inform your family about this—you told them to report that you were seriously in

"Lulu, I'll be making a stop at Summeria in a few days for an event. I want to see you," a woman said.When Lucille heard the woman's voice on the other end of the line, her expression turned into a mixture of tenderness and affection, which was a rare sight.She said, "Sure. How have you been lately? Have you felt any discomfort anywhere? Remember to stop for a break whenever you get tired, okay? Ask Sandra to rearrange your schedule so it isn't too packed."It wasn't every day that one got to see Lucille being so long-winded. She was like a concerned mother nagging her children.But Jessica Larson, the woman on the other end of the line, was evidently used to it. "Alright, alright. Don't worry about me, Lulu. I'm perfect!"They chatted for a while longer until Jessica was called away by her assistant. After hanging up, Lucille made another call.It was soon answered. "Hey, Ten. What's up?"Lucille didn't beat around the bush. "How's Jessica been lately?""She just had a medic

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
