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
The whole incident was nothing but a misunderstanding, but Erica had refused to let the matter go. Eunice had been slapped for no reason, and she'd lost her composure after listening to Erica's insults and mockery. So, she'd returned the favor.Thus, someone had called the police, and they'd been taken the station. The police had investigated the matter. Now, all Eunice needed was someone to bail her out.She didn't want to ask for Ian's help, and she didn't have her phone with her. Aside from Ian's number, Bailey's was the only one she'd memorized. And so, she'd had no choice but to call Bailey.Ultimately, Erica had no choice but to apologize to Eunice in the face of Lucille's icy gaze and the evidence provided."I'm sorry, Ms. Lennon. I misunderstood you." Erica's attitude was somewhat sincere.Eunice had nothing to say about it. She had no intention of arguing with Erica anyway. "Let's just forget about this; you can go now. I won't be teaching your daughter in the future. Y
It just so happened that Celine was a fan of cars. So, she knew a bit about the automobile industry.Eunice nodded. She knew why Celine was surprised, but what could she do? Spencer was a man of high status; he couldn't possibly drive a cheap car.Celine was even more surprised when she saw Lucille and Spencer after getting into the car. They gave off a regal vibe and had commanding presences, especially Spencer.Eunice introduced everyone. Lucille smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."Celine said a little shyly, "Nice to meet you, too. You're so pretty."She couldn't help thinking about how beautiful Lucille was. She'd always thought Eunice was pretty and poised, but Lucille was even more so. There was something icy and eye-catching about her beauty—one couldn't help staring at her.As for Spencer, he was handsome and had a somewhat princely vibe about him. However, he surpassed Lucille in the sense that he looked like an ice block. Celine didn't dare approach him or even sneak a
