A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 17
Kent said, "Yes, boss."He left the room and ran into Mack. He immediately latched onto Mack and said, "Boss just told me to buy a bunch of ingredients and deliver them to Orchidstone Garden. Do you think he's going to cook for Mrs. Layton?"Mack was taken aback. "I guess?"Kent lamented, "Boss has never cooked for anyone, not even the Laytons. Mrs. Layton's only been around for a few days! Think about that!"Who would've expected the CEO of JM Corporation and the current head of the Layton family to know how to cook? He frequently cooked for himself, too.As far as Kent and Mack could remember, he'd never cooked for anyone other than himself, though.…Kent arrived at Orchidstone Garden at 6:30 pm. He dropped the ingredients off before leaving. About half an hour later, Lucille heard the doorbell ring again.She opened the door to see Spencer standing outside. He wore a black suit as usual, paired with a silver-gray tie. He looked like a debonair gentleman, and he exuded matur

"Do you need help?" Lucille asked. She stood behind Spencer. She'd felt a little embarrassed sitting around while he bustled around the kitchen. She didn't know how to cook but could still help with certain simple tasks.Spencer turned to see her guileless eyes darting around. He asked, "How about you wash and slice the vegetables?""Sure!" Washing and slicing vegetables was about the only thing she could do. It was what she used to help Bailey with when she came over to cook for her.She rolled her sleeves up and grabbed the vegetables that had been laid out. She got to work. Spencer lowered his head slightly to see her washing and slicing seriously.He smiled slightly at the sight. He'd never felt like this before. It was an odd feeling. He seemed to be filled with satisfaction and happiness. He wanted things to be like this for the rest of their lives.Lucille was engrossed in her task when she suddenly felt a jolt of electricity shoot through her, starting from her ear. She st

If not for Spencer holding Lucille up, she wouldn't be able to stand. She felt like something was threatening to explode from her stomach. It made her feel horrible, but she couldn't get it out. It was stuck there.She never would've expected that she'd one day have too much to eat. Was this how it felt to die on an overly full stomach?"Do you have any indigestion medicine at home?" Spencer asked.Lucille thought about it, then shook her head."How about we head downstairs to get some, then? We can take this opportunity to take a stroll."She frowned. She did not want to leave the house, let alone walk. Spencer's expression was helpless, but he was more patient and gentle than anything. He coaxed tenderly, "C'mon, let's go. You'll feel better after a short stroll."Lucille struggled with the thought for a few seconds. Ultimately, Spencer dragged her downstairs. She was wholly unwilling. If she had a choice, she would've just gone to bed and hoped she would wake up feeling better

"I've fallen for you."Lucille's mind instantly went blank as though an explosion had gone off in her head.When she heard those unexpected words, her terrified eyes grew wide. Shock was written all over her face, like she had just heard some surprising and unbelievable news.Spencer's confession had taken her by surprise. All of a sudden, she was dumbstruck and didn't know how to react.A while passed, and she still couldn't return to her senses.She had known him for less than a week. It was just so sudden for him to say that he had caught feelings for her.Legally, they were already husband and wife, but…Spencer sighed on the inside as he looked at her cute yet dazed expression. His eyes were filled with nothing but gentleness as he said to her quietly, "Don't feel burdened by this. There's no rush for you to give me an answer. You can slowly have a feel for it, and once you're ready, you can tell me your answer."Lucille didn't know what to say. Thus, she simply stared at

Sabrina hated hearing Lucille speak to her in such an arrogant tone, but she remembered the reason why she was calling today. "Lucille, it seems like you were wise enough to break off the engagement," she said mockingly.Lucille answered indifferently, "Even if I did break off the engagement, do you dare to go public?"Sabrina instantly flew into a rage. Because of that Twitter post about her infidelity, she couldn't announce her relationship with Harold yet. "You're despicable!" she yelled. Then, her tone turned gloating. "So what? As long as Harry loves me, that's enough. Meanwhile, you'll never ever win his affection."Lucille scoffed uncaringly. "If you're calling to brag about your shameful affair, then please hang up!" she said coldly.When Sabrina heard that Lucille wanted to hang up, she immediately said, "Grandpa asked you to return to the Johnson residence. There's something he wants to tell you.""I'm not going! Just tell it to me straight!" Lucille said adamantly.S

In her office, Lucille narrowed her eyes at the extravagantly dressed young man in front of her. Charles was the deputy CEO of the Sanders Corporation at 26 years old. Known as the Casanova of Whiteloop City, there was a new rumor about him with either a celebrity or model every three days.He was quite the looker, and being the son of the Sanders family, he naturally had women throwing themselves at him. However, rumor had it that he was heartless.Lucille watched as Charles took a seat on the couch. "Mr. Sanders, why did you come here?" she asked coolly.While she looked him up and down, he did the same to her.Her face was aloof yet beautiful. She had exquisite facial features that made her quite the stunner. She was even prettier than any woman he had ever had.His lips curved into a smile. He laughed casually. "Ms. Johnson, I've heard people call you venomous, but it turns out that you're just an ice queen. I feel like this trip here is now worth it."When Lucille heard this

Before leaving, Charles added, "Ms. Johnson, the Sanders Corporation is sincere in wanting to collaborate with the Star&Ciel Group."Lucille gave him a meaningful look. "Alright."After showing Charles to the door, Samuel came to the office.The first thing Lucille said was, "Find out who leaked the information about the research and development of Shooting Star!"Samuel was taken aback. He hadn't been in the room earlier, so he didn't know what had happened. However, from the look on Lucille's face, he could guess what happened."Yes, I'll do it at once."Shooting Star was Star&Ciel's newly developed reed diffuser. It had yet to be made known to the public and was still considered top secret. The Star&Ciel Group was planning to enter the reed diffuser market and had begun preparations a year ago. Not many people knew about this, so she was surprised that the news had reached Charles.Half an hour later, Samuel returned with his findings. "Ms. Johnson, one of the executives fr

The door to the Kingston Room was pushed open. The people sitting inside all turned their gazes to the two people who just entered.Spencer was holding Lucille's hand. He looked regal and handsome, while she looked austere and beautiful. They were quite a match.Lucas, Ethan, and Zachary had already seen Lucille and knew about her.But what they didn't know was that Lucille also knew things about them.After she got legally married to Spencer, she looked into his background. Naturally, she also looked into the few gentlemen sitting here. However, it seemed like one of them wasn't here today.Unexpectedly, the sons of Whiteloop's most revered aristocratic families were actually best friends in private.It was truly surprising. After all, no one had exposed their friendship before. It seemed like their public relations teams were doing a good job at keeping this under wraps.Like a gentleman, Spencer pulled a chair out for Lucille. Only after she had taken her seat did he sit down

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

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

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
