A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 197
At the hospital, Lucille perused the information Ruben had provided. She'd just finished when Spencer returned.He sat on the chair beside the bed and took an apple from the fruit basket. Then, he peeled it with a fruit knife. Some would think his slender fingers were too perfect to be peeling apples.Lucille stared at his hands. "Right. I have something to tell you.""What is it?""I planned to let them kidnap me yesterday, so Bethany and the secret guards aren't at fault. They didn't fail at their job, either. If you're planning to punish them, just save it."He peeled the apple with his head lowered, and his gaze flickered. Then, he replied, "Okay. As you wish."Just then, Lucas entered the room in his doctor's coat. When he saw Spencer peeling the apple, he was a little shocked. He couldn't believe that such an influential man, who'd been born with a silver spoon, was now doing things as simple as peeling an apple. It seemed that Spencer truly adored Lucille.Lucas had com

Then, Lucas made up an excuse to discuss Yves' condition and took Spencer away."Wait for me here. I'll take you home soon," Spencer said before leaving."Alright."…At Sparrow Residence, Herbert and Lana were shocked as they watched Spencer carrying Lucille into their home; they were confused to see her in a cast. What had happened overnight to lead to such an injury?The two asked in concern, "What happened, Mrs. Layton?"Lucille felt shy since she was still in Spencer's arms. She looked at the concerned duo and comforted them, saying, "Herbert, Lana, relax. I'm fine. I only twisted my ankle."Jonathan coincidentally came out of his room just then and saw the scene. "Lucy!" He ran down the stairs. After worrying the whole night about her disappearance, he'd only received her message this morning. However, she hadn't mentioned any injuries!He fixed his gaze on her right leg, which was in a cast. His worried expression didn't take away from how handsome he was. "What happ

Spencer looked at the tin box in her hand and asked, "What's that?"Subsequently, Lucille told him everything about Larry."I'd him taken away last time," Spencer said. Lucille was stunned momentarily. No wonder she couldn't trace Larry's tracks.She knew his death had nothing to do with Spencer, but the latter's subordinates were surely the last person Larry saw.He continued, "If you'd like to know what happened after that, I'll have Mack tell you about it."Lucille accepted his suggestion. "Sure. Let's bring him here." It wasn't because she was particularly interested in Larry's case that she wanted to get to the bottom of things. Rather, she found things odd and wanted to know the truth to save herself from any trouble in the future.Still, the USB Bethany had found at his place had piqued her curiosity. Even the authorities hadn't discovered it.Soon, Mack arrived. "Hello, boss, Mrs. Layton.""Please tell me about Larry, Mr. Wood," requested Lucille.Mack took a secon

On the other hand, Maverick had just returned from his investigation and reported, "Commander Lawton, I'm back for a report," he said to George, who was looking at his phone."Go ahead." George put his phone down and glanced at him."Sabrina Johnson and Larry Zimmer had known each other since high school. During our visit to the school, we found out that Larry was involved in kidnapping the Johnsons' second daughter, Lucille Johnson, six years ago, which was their senior year of high school. "That got him three years in prison and a farewell to his bright future. He was a promising student, who was praised by both his peers and teachers alike. He even was the class representative at the time."Now the strange thing is, his teacher thought it was impossible for the gentle and kind Larry to have done such a thing. Many people didn't believe he was capable. However, he admitted guilt on the spot."As for the reason for the kidnapping, he allegedly said—quoted from the file—that he '

It was Eunice's first time visiting Sparrow Residence. She'd always deemed Windvale Villa to be ridiculously massive, but her perspective changed when she saw Sparrow Residence. Indeed, it was nice to be rich. She'd heard that Ian wanted to visit Whiteloop City around the same time she'd found out Lucille was injured. Thus, she'd tagged along shamelessly.At that moment, they heard some sounds from the staircase. When Eunice looked up, she saw Spencer carrying Lucille, whose right leg had a cast, down the stairs.Lucille was surprised to see Eunice. She hadn't expected the guests Spencer had mentioned to be Eunice and Ian.Spencer had just laid Lucille on the couch when Eunice hurriedly approached her side, asking in concern, "How's your foot?"Lucille smiled. "I'm fine. It's just an ankle sprain."Eunice exclaimed, "That's one nasty sprain! You even have a cast on."Ian couldn't help but purse his lips when he saw Eunice expressing concern for Lucille. She hadn't been as anxio

"She'll always be mine and mine alone. As for you, I'd like to see you maintaining your calm when Eunice leaves you one day," Spencer refuted.Sometimes, those directly involved were often blinded by their involvement, while outsiders had a clearer view. If Ian hadn't had any feelings for Eunice, he would've scared her away a long time ago with his temper. He was no saint; if he wanted to torture someone, he wouldn't do it like this.Ian stayed silent and simply stared at Eunice in the living room. She could feel a chill down her spine and instinctively looked up, only to lock eyes with him on the second floor. Seeing his icy gaze, she immediately looked away. She hadn't done anything to anger him, had she? Perhaps he was pissed off by her laughter?"…That night, Eunice and Ian left after enjoying dinner at the manor. Inside, Jonathan and Spencer were locked in a tense stare, prompting Lucille to heave a silent sigh. At last, Jonathan couldn't take it anymore and headed upst

The next morning, Lucille took Jonathan to Zaytun Pavilion."Lucy, did you say Ms. Larson is coming?" he asked."Yeah, she'll be here soon."Bethany had tagged along with the two during their outing today. Besides, Lucille needed her assistance to move about.Soon enough, Zaytun Pavilion's manager led two people over and opened the door to the Kingston Room. He stood respectfully on the side and gestured to the guests. "You may head inside." A woman with a black cap and black mask entered first. "I'm here, Lulu." Jessica's voice sounded before her face came into view. Bethany was astounded to see a beauty as Jessica removed her cap and mask. The latter's light-brown curls bounced, and her exquisite face was adorned with great features. At the corner of her eye sat a tiny mole. Bethany couldn't help but think Jessica seemed familiar, as though she'd seen her on the streets or in photos…"Aw, Jonny is here too." Jessica smiled at Jonathan, who beside Lucille, revealing her ado

Jessica's eyes shifted. "That was back then. It's different now. We have our own lives to live. Anyway, let's not talk about him." She looked toward Jonathan, asking, "Why are you here in Whiteloop City, Jonny?"The more she avoided the topic, the more Lucille found it strange. Jessica and Avery had been getting along well, so why did Jessica make it sound like they were so distant now? What did she mean they "had their own lives to live"?Lucille looked at Sandra, who was opposite her. The latter was Jessica's manager, and Jessica was her only client. Catching Lucille's eye, Sandra shook her head, indicating she knew nothing about it.…At 11:30 am, Spencer, Ethan, and Zachary arrived at Zaytun Pavilion. When Jessica saw the handsome men suddenly appear, she was rather surprised."Lulu, who are they?" She was unfamiliar with the newcomers. They were all good-looking, with great presence, especially the one in the middle, who was dressed in all black. He immediately gave off a

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

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
