A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 36
Lila's voice rang out before she even showed up. Lucille turned to look behind her and saw an elegant woman in a vintage dress. Beside her was a middle-aged man in a suit.Lila looked youthful despite her age—her skin was smooth and supple, and she looked graceful and poised. Meanwhile, Eric was tall, stately, and gentlemanly. Lucille could see traces of him in Spencer, especially in his eyes. The father and son looked quite similar to each other.Despite being middle-aged, it was easy to tell Eric had been handsome as a young man. It looked like Lila's and Eric's genes had combined in the best way possible to give birth to someone as gorgeous as Spencer.There was no doubt in Lucille's mind that these were Spencer's parents. Spencer confirmed her guess by greeting, "Mom, Dad."Before Lucille could say anything, Lila gave Spencer the stink-eye and said, "Don't tell me you've forgotten about your mother now that you're married, you brat. "I had you in my belly for months and wor

Everyone sat down for dinner, save for Spencer's brother, Seth Layton. He was attending to something abroad and had yet to return.During the meal, Lucille understood why Spencer's table manners were so impeccable. It wasn't just because he'd been well-trained since childhood—it was also because of the environment he'd grown up in.James, Eric, and Lila were quite satisfied with Lucille. She wasn't ingratiating or arrogant, and she was elegant and classy. She met the Layton family's standards for its members.Even though Lucille hailed from a greedy and materialistic family like the Johnsons, she remained steadfast in her beliefs and wasn't afraid to take the path less traveled. These things only made James, Eric, and Lila like her more.After dinner, Lila kept Lucille by her side and chatted with her. She told Lucille everything about Spencer, starting from his childhood up until adulthood. Thanks to Lila, Lucille learned that Spencer had been warm and cheery before the age of

Lucille narrowed her eyes at Lila's words. Lila and Jane knew each other? She'd never heard her mother, Jane Monroe, mention anything about it, though.Lila could tell from the look on Lucille's face that the latter remembered nothing about this. She said, "It's not surprising that you don't remember anything. You were only about two years old at the time."Lucille didn't say anything. She genuinely didn't remember anything that had happened when she was two years old; she probably only knew how to sleep, eat, and cry at the time.Lila pulled an old, yellowing photo album from the drawer beside her. It had been kept in James' suite all these years.Lucille glanced at it curiously and asked, "What's this?"Lila handed it to her. "Take a look for yourself."Lucille took it. When she opened it, the first thing she saw was a chubby little naked boy. He looked adorable. As she kept flipping through the album, the chubby little boy grew into a handsome little kid. His face became vag

Fortunately, the car's specifications were the best available, so Lucille only jolted forward slightly.Spencer was so stunned that he just allowed the car to stop in the middle of the road. Earlier, Lucille had said, "Mom showed me photos of you as a kid, and you were naked. Like, butt-naked. You didn't have anything on at all."That was why he'd slammed the brakes."You were completely naked, you know. I didn't expect you to be so cute when you were a kid." Lucille watched him as he sat there, unmoving. She smiled faintly, and her tone sounded light-hearted and a little mischievous.Just then, Spencer asked, "Is that so?" He dragged his words out as his eyes glinted slyly. Lucille didn't notice it and said, "Yeah. You were so chubby, too."Spencer never would've expected his cold and aloof image to be ruined by a baby photo. To make matters worse, Lucille had seen it. Suddenly, he turned to her with a raised eyebrow. "I suppose that makes us even."Lucille was confused. Wha

Spencer's breath fanned over Lucille's ear, tingling her senses. But that wasn't the point—the point was what he'd just said."H-How did you know that?" Lucille asked in horror. He knew she had red moles on her left chest and butt. Those were such private areas, so how did he…He turned to smirk at her, his gaze a little amorous as he looked at her side profile. He leaned just a bit closer so his lips could brush past her ear. It seemed accidental yet also on purpose.It caused a bolt of electricity to shoot through her, making her feel a little cold and tense up. It was a completely physical reaction. He said, "Because I was the one who changed your diapers before you were two."Lucille's mind went blank. Oh, God. What was this? It was no wonder he'd said that they were even! This had to be the most embarrassing moment of her life!Spencer moved away after saying that. He started the car and drove off. It took Lucille a long time to wrap her mind around everything. She only f

Lucille shook her head at that and said, "Let's hope you won't back down if that day does come."She knew what Bailey was like—she was all talk and no action.Bailey asked, "Speaking of which, you and Spencer didn't spend the night at Layton Manor after making a trip there? And you even returned to your respective homes after that? Are you two really married?"Lucille thought about what Spencer had told her before she'd gotten out of the car last night. He'd held her hand and gazed lovingly into her eyes. "Move in with me. Or, I can move in with you."She'd been wholly stunned. She'd yet to mentally prepare herself to live with him, after all. Because of that, Spencer had given her a promise to make her less anxious. He said, "Don't worry. I won't touch a hair on your head before you're completely ready. I just want to get to know you and care for you better. Besides, you have to get used to my presence in your life sooner or later…"When Lucille didn't respond, Bailey called he

Marie said cheerily, "No, Lucy didn't tell me any jokes. She told me a piece of good news, though."Casey looked at her curiously. "Oh? What is it?"She remembered that Lucille had just called off her engagement to Harold. Where had the good news come from? She frowned and asked, "Didn't Ms. Lucy already call off the engagement with the Quall family?"Marie scowled at the mention of the Quall family. She snorted and said, "What right do they have to have my precious granddaughter as a daughter-in-law? They're unworthy of her."Casey smiled and said, "Yes, of course. They're beneath her."She knew that Marie had never liked Harold. After all, even if he had good looks, he'd been was blind enough to fall for someone like Sabrina. "Ms. Lucy is so pretty, smart, and kind. A family as materialistic as the Qualls is most definitely not worthy of her. She deserves so much better."Marie nodded. "Yes, Lucy deserves someone better. That's why the Layton chap is the perfect candidate."

Sabrina looked so gentle and hesitant that anyone would want to protect her. It also happened to be the best weapon in her arsenal.Lorelei turned to Lucille and snapped, "Listen up, Lucille. Harry loves Sabrina, so you should forget about being with him and stop trying to ruin their relationship. If you don't, I'll teach you a lesson every time I see you."Lucille looked at her like she was a maniac. At the same time, Sabrina lowered her head as a trace of smugness flashed past her eyes.Suddenly, Lorelei switched tacks. She looked at Lucille with the haughtiness that only a spoiled daughter of an affluent family could have and sneered. "How can someone like you come to Zaytun Pavilion?""What's wrong with that? Everyone can come here, right? Why not me?" Lucille smiled coldly.Lorelei wanted to retort with a slew of curses, but she suddenly got an idea. It had always been tough to get a private room at Zaytun Pavilion—she and Sabrina were only there that night because Harold h

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
