A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 234
At noon, Lucille was busy with answering calls and replying to messages. She couldn't focus on her work.Just as things momentarily quieted, the phone rang again as Lucille put down her phone. She closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh."Lulu, happy birthday! I sent you a gift. It should arrive today."Lucille had answered the phone without looking at the caller ID. Jessica's voice sounded from the other end of the phone.Lucille switched from her cold tone to a gentle one and said, "Thanks. Okay. I'll unwrap the gift when I'm home."Jessica said, "I know you don't like birthday parties. Otherwise, I would've flown over to see you last night."Both of them had a chat. After Jessica's assistant called out to her, she hung up the phone.The calls and messages Lucille received that day were all from people wishing her a happy birthday and telling her to receive their gifts.She was quite depressed because Spencer was the only one who had yet to wish her a happy birthday or send h

Bailey kept finding topics to talk about with Lucille in the private room.Lucille eyed Bailey suspiciously. It was understandable that Bailey was a talkative person, but she noticed she was looking at the time every now and then. This wasn't like Bailey at all.Lucille calmly took a sip of lemonade and asked casually, "Are you waiting for someone?"Bailey immediately denied it. "No. I'm not."Lucille thought that was a weird reaction. The casual and easygoing Bailey was nervous for some reason. Although Bailey thought she hid it well, Lucille noticed something was off with her. She didn't plan to expose Bailey.About half an hour later, Bailey stood up and said, "Babe, I'm going to the washroom. I had too much water earlier. Do you want to go too?"Lucille shook her head and responded calmly, "No. Why don't you go ahead?"She didn't overthink it. After all, Bailey had indeed had a lot of water earlier.Three minutes later, Lucille's phone dinged. It was a text from Bailey. "

In fact, Lucille hadn't had much expectation for her birthday celebration. Besides, she and Spencer were already married, so she didn't think it was necessary. She was always easily satisfied when it came to this sort of thing.She lowered her head to look at Spencer, who'd dropped to one knee before her. Suddenly, everything became blurry; she didn't even realize tears had filled her eyes.At this moment, she was touched. She nodded and said, "Yes, I will."As soon as she said those words and was about to tell Spencer to get up, a group of people emerged from the side.It was Bailey, Jonathan, Seth, Ethan, Eunice, James, Marie, Lila, Eric, and the others."Lulu, are you surprised?" At this moment, Jessica's voice sounded from the crowd.Lucille was dumbfounded. She looked at Spencer, who had stood before her. Just as she parted her lips to ask him a question, everything went dark as he leaned in and kissed her lips.The next thing she heard was the sound of people cheering for

At Sparrow Residence, Spencer came out from the shower and saw that the room was empty. Lucille, who said she would wait for him, was nowhere to be found. He put on his pajamas and left the bedroom before running into Herbert. "Herbert, where's Mrs. Layton?" Herbert smiled and said, "Oh, Mrs. Layton is opening her presents in the storage room." Spencer then headed to the storage room. Inside, Licille sat on the carpet with her legs crossed. She felt overwhelmed looking at the pile of presents, but accepted her fate and started unwrapping them. After unwrapping a few, she felt a warmth coming from behind, along with the familiar scent of bodywash. Spencer easily lifted her and placed her on his lap. He touched her neck, his thumb caressing her earlobe. He said huskily, "Are you hiding from me?" Lucille wrapped her arm around his shoulder. "Huh? No. Can't you see I'm unwrapping the presents?" She pointed at the mountain of presents, proving that she wasn't lying. Spencer

Lucille procrastinated and finally arrived at the office at about 11:00 am. Luckily, it had gotten colder recently, so she could wear a turtleneck to cover up the hickeys Spencer had left on her neck.She wore a tailor-made blue casual suit with a black turtleneck shirt inside. She even put on shoes instead of her usual high heels. But when Bailey saw her, she immediately asked, "Babe, why are you wearing a turtleneck? Don't you hate turtlenecks?" Lucille lightly coughed and said, acting normal, "It's cold today. I found out turtlenecks are quite comfy." "But you always said turtlenecks constrict your neck, right?" Bailey asked. Lucille maintained her expression. "Yeah, but people change." Bailey wasn't easily fooled. She knew Lucille very well. She leaned closer to the latter suddenly and smiled sneakily. "Be honest. Did you really not do anything with Mr. Layton last night?" Lucille remained silent. Bailey had such a sharp nose. "What could we have done? I was busy u

Lucille didn't even bother to blink when William roared at her. She tilted her head and cleaned her ears unconcernedly, as though she weren't the one getting shouted at. Her indifferent reaction made William even more frustrated. Yet, there was no way he could vent.After a moment of silence, Lucille lifted her cold eyes at them. She said in an emotionless yet slightly chilling voice, "Originally, I had no interest in Johnson Group's shares. Plus, since I've already gotten my mom's memento back, I did think about returning the shares to you." Horace's and William's eyes sparkled with joy for a second. Lucille continued, "But I've changed my mind." Horace's and William's smiles immediately stiffened. "You—" William burst in anger. He jolted up, pointing his finger at Lucille. But before he could start screaming at her, her piercing, hostile eyes glared at him, leaving him stunned. Seeing his fearful expression and how he was hesitant to speak, Lucille chuckled disdainfully.

Kevin calmly took out a document from his leather pouch and said, "This is the contract Ms. Jane signed. It is legally binding, compliant, and valid, with the date before when you signed your agreement."Actually, Ms. Jane did mention this contract when she signed the agreement with you."Horace and William were left in shock. Jane had completely outsmarted them. Ivy had no idea about the contents of the agreement. But she heard a key point and said proudly, "Dad, this brat isn't married yet. So, the agreement is still valid!" Horace was delighted and said to Kevin, "Mr. Turner, Lucille isn't married yet. So, we can still take back 30% of shares, correct?" Lucille, who'd been sitting relaxedly on the couch like a ghost, said lazily, "Who told you I'm not married?" She stood up, waved her hand before her face, and let out a fake sigh. "It's all my dear Mr. Layton's fault for choosing such a tiny diamond that couldn't dazzle someone's eyes. I'll have him buy another diamond rin

Knowing Eunice was coming to Whiteloop City, Bailey booked a table at noon at La Belle Époque, a high-end Faelisian restaurant. Bailey, Eunice, and Lucille were all beauties, each had different charms, and they naturally caught the other patrons' attention. But the trio was used to having this attention and started chatting as soon as they were seated. Eunice didn't have any close friends. But since she'd met Lucille and Bailey, she'd become more cheerful and talkative than before. Bailey sipped her water before asking, "So Eunie, why did you come to Whiteloop City for this time?" Eunice replied with a smile, "I plan to settle here in Whiteloop City." Bailey and Lucille thought they had misheard Eunice and stared at her simultaneously. Eunice pouted and asked, "What's wrong? You don't welcome me?" Bailey shook her head. "No, we're just surprised!" Lucille asked, "But why did you suddenly consider settling here?" Bailey also asked, "Is Uncle Ian coming, too?" She'd

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

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
