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
The Kingston Room was located on the top floor of Zaytun Pavilion, which had six floors in total. The room took up the whole of the sixth floor, and guests were only allowed in after getting through a facial recognition scan. The general public couldn't even get up there.As Lorelei thought of ways to humiliate Lucille, the latter had already entered the Kingston Room. She took off her coat and bag and put them on the storage shelf nearby as she said, "I'm sorry for being late, Grandma."She wore a fitting white sweater, tight black pants that showed off her long legs, and casual boots—today was a day for a smart casual outfit.Marie and Spencer had been chatting away when they heard her. They looked in her direction, and Marie said, "Have you not been eating properly again, kiddo? Why have you lost weight?"Casey disagreed. She felt like Lucille looked more spirited than before. Lucille looked at her and smiled. "Ms. Grant."Casey nodded. "Hi, Ms. Lucy."Lucille sat beside Mar
"Damn it. The bitch must've run away!" Lorelei snapped.Sabrina was also disappointed. She'd been hoping to act lovey-dovey with Harold before Lucille's eyes. It looked like it wouldn't happen. Still, she pretended to console Lorelei. "Forget it, Lorelei. Lucille's my sister, after all. Don't be mad, okay? How about I go shopping with you tomorrow? I heard Silverstar Mall's just brought in the latest season's bags."Lorelei was immediately distracted by that. She forgot all about Lucille—it was evident bags were the way to her heart.After a while, Harold, who wore a navy suit, entered the room. Sabrina's eyes lit up when she saw him, and they looked at each other lovingly. He was tall, handsome, and gentlemanly. His eyes were filled with tenderness and love as he looked at Sabrina.Lorelei couldn't help getting goosebumps at the sight.Harold sat beside Sabrina and held her hand. He said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. I was with a client earlier."She said understandingly, "It
"W-What is it?" Lucille asked tentatively. She couldn't bring herself to show her usual dominance around Spencer."I wanted to talk about what Grandma mentioned earlier," he said.She pretended not to understand him. "Oh? Did she say anything?"He narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at her. Lucille immediately lost her nerve but still didn't say anything.Spencer didn't think he'd hear her bring the topic up, so he said, "Grandma wants great-grandchildren.""Oh.""Oh?" He stared at her for a while before saying domineeringly, "We can't have children without you being a willing participant, so either you move into Sparrow Residence tomorrow, or I'll move into Orchidstone Garden."We can take the opportunity to get to know each other better. That's the only way we can make Grandma's wish come true."Lucille asked, "Can I—"She wanted to ask whether she could say no. Spencer cut her off and said, "No objections because I can't wait any longer!"Lucille fell silent. She co
