When Lucille arrived back at the manor, Spencer was already home. She saw Herbert when she entered and pulled him aside, whispering, "Herbert, is he home?"Herbert smiled amicably. "Mr. Layton returned 30 minutes ago and is now in the kitchen, Mrs. Layton.""The kitchen, huh," she mumbled to herself."That's right. Mr. Layton called home this afternoon and asked the kitchen to hold off because he'll be preparing dinner for you tonight," Herbert explained with a smile.He adored Lucille; although she was quiet, her presence had drastically changed Spencer since she'd moved in. It was evident that they were in love.Nevertheless, Herbert thought it was strange that Lucille was particularly cautious today. He made a wild guess. "Mrs. Layton, did you have a fight with Mr. Layton?"Lucille couldn't help but feel her heart melt. Spencer was mad at her, but he was still cooking for her. Pursing her lips, she replied, "Not really. I did something that upset him."Herbert thought it wasn
Spencer washed his hands. With a stretch of his arm, he easily wrapped it around the cheeky Lucille's waist and brought her in front of him with a quick twirl.She gasped. Before she could react, he pinched her chin, prompting her to look up.The next second, he sealed her lips with his. The kiss carried a hint of punishment. His actions were intense, as if a beast had suddenly spotted food and seized it wildly.Lucille followed his lead and wrapped her arms around his neck, reciprocating the kiss and keeping up with his rhythm. Gradually, he softened his kiss, causing her to groan gently. His strong arm latched onto her waist tighter, pulling her closer to him, leaving no space between their bodies.Luckily, he was holding her, or she would've lost her balance.The atmosphere in the kitchen was getting heated, and the air was filled with sounds of their kisses and gasps.Right before she needed to catch her breath, Spencer released her, with his warm lips traveling to her neck a
For some reason, Lucille immediately caught Spencer's drift. She glared at him and said, "Dream on!"Then, she pushed him away and hurried out of the kitchen, running right into Seth, who'd just returned. He asked, "Why's your face so red, Lucille? Are you burning up?"She ignored him and hurried upstairs. He fell silent, feeling bemused as he watched her run up the stairs. What was wrong with her? Why had she hurried off upon seeing him? It wasn't like he was going to ask her for money.Herbert happened to appear at that moment. Seth grabbed him and asked like a child waiting to be fed, "Is Lana done cooking, Herbert? I'm hungry."Herbert smiled and said, "Lana's off today."Seth frowned. "Doesn't that mean I won't have anything for dinner tonight?"Herbert's smile grew. He pointed at the kitchen and said, "Mr. Spencer is in there.""What?" Seth's eyes widened. He stared at Herbert before turning to look at the kitchen. There, he saw a familiar figure inside. He rubbed his eyes
20 minutes later, dinner was ready. Seth enthusiastically grabbed his plate and cutlery. When he saw Spencer merely glance at him indifferently without saying anything, he knew this meant he'd be able to enjoy the meal.This was probably the quietest he'd ever been during a meal. He was both touched and on tenterhooks—he'd finally lived to see the day when he could have Spencer's cooking. This was something he could brag about for the rest of his life.Spencer's cooking was delicious. He gave Lana a run for her money. Everyone in their family knew he could cook, but no one had ever gotten the chance to try his cooking before. Not even James, Eric, or Lila had ever experienced this.After the meal, Seth obediently took his plate and cutlery to the kitchen. Lucille was confused by his odd behavior and actions. She asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?"Before he could say anything, Spencer said, "Ignore him. There are a few days every month when he acts abnorma
"All I need to do is care for my precious Mrs. Layton. Feeding you and making sure you're satisfied is my duty," Spencer said, deliberately lowering his voice. It made Lucille's knees go weak.For some reason, she couldn't help feeling like he was insinuating something with his last sentence. It was mainly because of the amorous and teasing look in his eyes and his unconcealed desire. She felt like his gaze could burn her.It was a familiar gaze, and she looked away from him. She was about to get up when he tightened his grip on her waist, keeping her in place.Spencer narrowed his eyes at her. "Where do you think you're going?"Lucille smiled faintly. "To the washroom."He snorted and leaned down to kiss her, quickly prying her lips open and plundering her sweetness. After a moment, he switched their positions, seemingly worried that she'd feel uncomfortable with her head tilted. He made her sit on his lap so they were face-to-face.Then, he kept an arm around her waist while cu
It was the day of Lucille and Spencer's wedding photoshoot. They got ready and left the house. There would be a professional team attending to everything, so they didn't need to do anything. All they had to do was go along with the team's arrangements.The photoshoot was outdoors, and it was fortunate that the sun was shining brightly. The weather had been on the chilly side for the past few days, and Lucille had been worried that the photoshoot wouldn't be able to proceed smoothly.Surprisingly enough, the temperature was a little higher today. It was as if God was watching out for her. The trouble that had happened over the past few days melted away, thanks to the good weather.Lucille and Spencer went to change into their respective outfits after arriving at their destination. The team were professionals in wedding photoshoots and handled everything from outfits, makeup, and, of course, the actual photography.When Lucille was changing, she couldn't help finding that her dress s
Lucille saw that Spencer's tie was crooked, so she naturally reached out to straighten it for him. He looked down at her, taking in the serious look on her face as she fiddled with his tie.She'd already changed into her last outfit, which was a pure white wedding gown. She looked like an angel that had descended from heaven, and her beauty was breathtaking. Her flawless skin was perfectly complemented by the wedding gown.Her long hair was tied back by a silk ribbon, which cascaded down her back. Long statement earrings dangled from her ears, and there was a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant around her neck.The photographer captured this scene. The feelings that couples displayed during their candid moments were the best scenes to show how much they loved each other. Looking at them was like looking at a flawless masterpiece."There we go." Lucille patted his chest, smoothening out the creases on his suit jacket.Spencer smiled teasingly at her. "I didn't know you could be so
As soon as Lucille entered the police station, she heard a woman shrieking shrilly, "You shameless bitch! How dare you try to seduce my husband, you vixen?"Lucille looked over to see Eunice sitting silently on a stool with her head lowered. Her hair was a little mussed up.The woman who'd shrieked at Eunice was a plump housewife, Erica Devin. A police officer warned, "What's with the noise? And watch your mouth—you're not at home!"Erica was crazed from her rage, so she ignored the police officer's words. She stood there with her hands on her hips and glared at Eunice. She'd been wondering why her husband had suddenly developed an interest in taking their child to ballet classes. So, she'd followed him in secret today to see what was up with him. Sure enough, she'd caught him beaming at a beautiful teacher. He'd even hugged the teacher, making Erica lose her mind right then and there. So, she'd stormed forward and slapped the teacher."To think you're shameless enough to call
