A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 214
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

Who was that person, and why had they taken the photo away? What secrets could a photo be keeping? In that instant, Lucille was even more sure that someone was secretly watching her every move. She couldn't detect any traces of them, though.…Flynn came out of the home economics company and got into the car. Then, he said, "The person in charge of the home economics company says they've never met the hirer either, Mrs. Layton. The hirer's the one who contacted them, and they paid five years' worth of fees in one go."They only left a surname—Patton. Whenever they call the home economics company, the phone number is from a different region. I've checked them all, and they're all virtual numbers."Patton? That didn't match up with the alphabet on the silver bracelet Jane had left.Still, the more this mysterious person didn't want to be found, the more Lucille wanted to track them down. After a moment's thought, she said, "Take me to Noddingstern University."…With Flynn aroun

Lucille sat on the bed and rested for a while. When she felt better, she got up to leave the room. Then, she heard the hotel door open with a beep. She frowned at that.Then, a familiar and panicked-looking face appeared in her line of sight. Before she even realized what was happening, she was pulled into a warm embrace that enveloped her in the scent of ambergris.Spencer's heart settled in his chest the moment he had Lucille in his arms. She looked dazed as she asked, "What… what are you doing here?"Mack, Bethany, and the others quickly turned and left the room when they saw the embracing couple. They even shut the door behind them.…Spencer sat on the couch in the living room, his expression grim. Lucille's anemia had acted up because she'd failed to take her meals on time."I'm fine now…" She felt a little diffident as she held his arm and swung it a little. She smiled and blinked at him, looking like a kitten that was asking to be petted. His expression was so scary tha

Meanwhile, Harold's parents paid the Johnsons a visit at the Johnson residence in Whiteloop City. Upon hearing about this, Sabrina dressed up nicely before heading downstairs.She always made sure to make herself look elegant, poised, gentle, and kind. She wanted people to always think she was the refined daughter of an affluent family. Even if her persona had almost been ruined before this, that didn't seem to affect her.She was still the apple of the Johnson family's eye, and she was still living life as a woman with many talents… or so it seemed."Oh, Lincoln and Ophelia. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit today?" Horace smiled kindly.In truth, Lincoln had never approved of Harold and Sabrina's relationship. And with what had happened during the live stream, he was even more disapproving of Sabrina marrying Harold.He actually thought Lucille was a good candidate. She was so much like Jane and had never displayed the desire to fight Sabrina for anything. Rumors made

The two families continued to discuss the matter, but it was evident that the Qualls wanted to call off the engagement, no matter what the Johnsons said.Sabrina didn't say anything from beginning to end. She kept her head bowed. Just then, she raised her head and looked at Lincoln and Ophelia tearfully.They looked at her as well and were taken aback when they saw the aggrieved look on her face. Then, they heard her say softly, "Mr. and Mrs. Quall, I… I'm pregnant.""What?"…The news of Sabrina's pregnancy suddenly became a trending topic.Bailey had been sprawled on the couch in Lucas' office, scrolling through her phone when she received a push notification on the latest trending topics. It read, "Ms. Sabrina Johnson is pregnant and will soon marry the CEO of Quall Group!"She shot up from the couch and exclaimed, "What the hell? That fake bitch is pregnant?"Lucas was seated behind his desk and busy with work. Bailey's outburst made him jolt. Since they'd started dating, h

Which aspect was Bailey talking about, and what the hell was there to share?Lucille placed a palm to her forehead upon listening to Bailey's unfiltered words. She knew that if she didn't hang up, Bailey's next sentence would only be more outrageous. Besides, Spencer was right beside her. His gaze was so intent and warm that it was making her spine tingle."Uh, Bailey, I have something to do. I'm hanging up," she said."Wait, I—" She wasn't done! But it was too late. She'd yet to even finish her sentence when all she heard was the dial tone.Bailey looked at her phone, feeling a little disgruntled. Then, she frowned slightly and wondered whether Spencer had been beside Lucille.While she was deep in thought, Lucas suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist and leaned close to her to whisper huskily, "Do you want to elevate your status, too? Giving birth to the Forrest family's child is quite a good thing, you know."Bailey turned to look up at him. She narrowed her eyes and raised

The early morning sunlight filtered in through the window and landed on the hotel's pristine white sheets. A muffled noise tore through the silence.It was amidst that soft yet familiar sound that Lucille woke up. Spencer was no longer in bed with her, but his side of the bed was still warm. It meant he hadn't been away for long. She shot up in bed and sat there dazedly for a while.Then, she lowered her eyes, her expression grim. Why had there been a gunshot? If she hadn't been imagining anything, she'd heard two gunshots outside the hotel room. Yet, oddly enough, it was silent now.She was pondering this when Spencer entered the room, already fully dressed."You're awake." His voice was gentle and affectionate. "Get up for breakfast, then."He strode over to the bed and reached up to tidy her mussed-up hair a little. Lucille's gaze landed on his handsome face, her voice a little hoarse after just waking up as she asked, "What happened outside?"Her tone was firm. Spencer falter

It hadn't been easy for Phantom to finally find something on Lucille, yet his foolish subordinates had brought him someone he didn't even know. Lucille had taken six million dollars from him, and he wasn't going to take that lying down!Bethany was already awake at this point, and she watched Phantom coldly as he raged. She didn't remember ever offending someone like him.It was part of the job to step on toes when working for Spencer, but it wasn't her style to give her opponents the chance to get revenge. Moreover, judging from his words, it looked like she'd been abducted by mistake.Still, she didn't exactly have a common, nondescript appearance. How could they get the wrong person?She shut her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to recall how she'd ended up in his clutches. She and the other assistants were always vigilant because of their proximity to Spencer—it was a basic requirement. She didn't think she'd missed anything out.There'd been a faint scent in her hotel room

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
