A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 207
"Oh, Lucy. Why are you here?" Lila asked softly while tugging on Lucille's hand after the branch families left.The way Lucille conducted herself earlier had impressed James, Eric, and Lila. She'd been assertive yet respectful, calm, and confident when handling such a situation. She was more than suitable for being the lady of the Layton family. It was undeniable that Spencer's choice of wife was perfect.It was already 3:00 pm when Spencer returned to Layton Manor. On the way there, Mack had already informed him of Lucille's visit there.At Serenity Court, Spencer narrowed his deep eyes and looked at the woman in his arms. "You're going to Marvonia?"Admiring his long and slender fingers, Lucille nodded. "I got the address of the apartment where Mom used to stay from Robert. I want to visit it. "I came here today to ask your mom about Mom. I find it hard to believe that she didn't have a single family member back then. That's why I want to look into it."Spencer didn't try to

Lucille lunged bravely at Spencer, successfully toppling him over the couch. Spencer didn't know what she wanted to do. Just as he was about to say something, his lips were grazed with her soft, scarlet lips. This was the second time Lucille had taken the initiative with him. He didn't move and let her take control.She'd been practicing her kissing skills with him for the past two weeks and had greatly improved. They were now in an ambiguous position that could lead to another thing. Since Lucille had forbidden Spencer from being intimate with her, he could hardly contain his excitement when she started flirting with him.She was always irresistible, and even more so whn she took the lead this time.It seemed like she'd noticed the change in his body; she was about to escape when he held her waist and flipped her underneath him. Soon, she was trapped under him on the couch. "Not planning to finish what you started, huh?" His gaze was fixed on her.She shook her head and sa

The next day, Lucille took off to Marvonia. Since Spencer had matters to resolve in Whiteloop City, he didn't go with her. However, he arranged for Bethany to tag along with her. Unable to refute him, Lucille departed with Bethany.When Lucille's flight landed in Marvonia, it was about 7:00 pm there. A few people were waiting for them as soon as they touched down. The man in front of the group, who was dressed in black, went up to her respectfully. "Greetings, Mrs. Layton. My name is Flynn Camden, and I'm here under Mr. Layton's orders to send you to the hotel."Lucille was unaware of this arrangement, but Bethany was.In the car, Flynn said, "Mrs. Layton, if there's anything you need in Marvonia, I'd be happy to assist you."Lucille calmly replied, "Sure. Thank you."Flynn was startled. It was his first time hearing "thank you" from any of his superiors, so it surprised him how nice she was. "It's my pleasure, Mrs. Layton. After all, I'm your subordinate, and this is my job."

The best time for Ghosthorn to operate was in the small hours.Lucille changed into a black top and bottom with a black cap and mask, leaving only her dark eyes exposed. An outfit like this was fairly common in the underworld since no one would want to be recognized there.However, Ghosthorn was not accessible to everyone. Without a special token, one could only dream to entering. A popular bar hide the entrance to Ghosthorn. Lucille lowered her cap and went to the bar counter alone. "Three glasses of Death in the Afternoon, please." Her cold voice rang into the mixologist's ears.The mixologist glanced at her and stealthily pushed a black button hidden behind the bar counter. Soon, a man with a crew cut arrived and locked eyes with the mixologist. The latter glanced toward Lucille, bowing his head.He walked to Lucille's side, saying, "Please follow me." He then led her to the top floor of the bar and requested, "Please show me your token for authentication."Lucille fished out

Phantom crossed his legs and leaned against the couch casually. He narrowed his eyes and appraised Lucille, who was dressed in allblack, only revealing her eyes. "Did you say you're Inkbrush?"Lucille also appraised him. Phantom was Ghosthorn's top dog and called the shots there. There was one thing that surprised her, though—he was younger than she'd expected and quite handsome. He'd deep-set eyes and a tall nose.His had tanned skin and a small scar on his forehead. It didn't detract from his good looks, though. On the contrary, it left one with a deep impression. It was as if it was his trademark.At the same time, she knew there was a secret boss behind Ghosthorn. No one knew who it was, though.Lucille took off her mask, revealing her beautiful face. Her breathtaking beauty made everyone present gasp. Then, she said indifferently, "Yes, I did."Phantom frowned and said coldly, "Are you insulting my intelligence, gorgeous? Who do you think you're kidding? Do you even know who

Phantom didn't think Lucille looked like she was in Ghosthorn to cause any trouble. After all, she was the supreme chief of Otearl Alliance. She couldn't possibly waste time on things like this, could she?It looked like Jim had done something stupid behind Phantom's back to incur Lucille's wrath, making her want to deal with him personally. He gestured at one of his men. "Tell Jim to come here.""Yes, sir."Soon, Jim arrived. "You wanted to see me, sir?"He ignored Lucille and approached Phantom, looking somewhat sycophantic. Phantom glanced at him but didn't say anything to him. Instead, he turned to Lucille and nodded at her. "He's here."Jim was confused. What was going on here? Only then did he follow Phantom's line of sight to look at Lucille. He took in her good looks and assumed she was one of the new beauties Phantom had picked for auctioning.He thought Phantom wanted him to help set a price for Lucille and said, "Where'd you find this beauty, sir? Judging from her look

"You're lucky to have caught the attention of Otearl Alliance's supreme chief, Jim. You're not suffering any losses here." Phantom looked like he was enjoying the show. He didn't act the way any boss should have.Jim was stunned, and his legs almost gave out. "O-Otearl Alliance?"Hadn't he just accepted a regular order? How had he gotten linked to Otearl Alliance? He'd checked and was sure his target had nothing to do with the alliance.Two gunshots rang out. Before anyone even realized what was happening, Lucille had fired twice at Jim with her gold Desert Eagle. The shots got him in both his scapulae.Jim was on the floor before he'd returned to his senses after learning Lucille was from Otearl Alliance. Meanwhile, Phantom was surprised—Lucille had actually gone easy on Jim. This didn't seem like something someone from Otearl Alliance would do.He admired her aim, though. She was a good shot, and she hadn't hesitated when firing—as expected of Inkbrush, who was also known as a

The following day, Lucille followed the address Robert had given her and headed to the apartment Jane had once occupied. She'd checked with Lila on this before, but it seemed neither Lila nor Robert had ever been to the apartment. They only had the address.Lucille didn't expect the apartment to still be around after over two decades. Not only had it been refurbished, but it'd also become a well-known apartment complex in the area.She followed the address to the 18th floor of Block C. Then, she stopped before unit 1810. Bethany watched Lucille, who stood before the door without moving. She said, "Mrs. Layton, before coming here, I checked with the management. "They said this apartment has been unoccupied for a long time, and the owner was your mother. They also said someone comes to clean the apartment every week. Flynn's already investigating the cleaner."Someone had been cleaning the apartment this whole time? Lucille frowned at that. An odd look flashed in her eyes.Afte

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?"
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 698
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
