A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 391
Lucille dashed straight into the bathroom upon entering. Clueless about her intentions, Daisy and Bethany merely stood by the side without stopping her or asking her any questions.A minute later, they saw Lucille holding a small basin filled with clean water, leaving both of them speechless and confused.A gorgeous man lay sprawled out in a less-than-graceful sleep pose on the bed with white sheets in the bedroom. Only his pale arms were visible, revealing the well-defined contours of his muscular physique, which made it easy to overlook his awkward sleeping position.Hunter slept soundly, his lips twitching slightly as he smiled foolishly. With his mouth slightly agape, his expression was set into a goofy grin. It made one wonder what a beautiful dream he could have in broad daylight.At that sight, Daisy glanced disdainfully at him and facepalmed herself.An emotionless Lucille held the basin of water as she stood by the bed and, without a hint of hesitation, poured the water o

Lucille left the room without hesitation, followed by Bethany.Meanwhile, Daisy had just stepped forward and stopped when she thought of something. She glanced flirtatiously at Hunter over her shoulder, her seductive eyes carrying an enigmatic hint of mockery. "Do you need help?"Hunter's eyes dimmed and narrowed before he suppressed the anger and roared, "Scram!"Daisy was unperturbed and scoffed. "I dare you to scream at Lucy instead." After saying that, she tossed her wavy, long hair behind her and strode out of the room sassily.Everyone knew Hunter was fearless, ruthless, and violent. However, no one knew that Lucille was the only person he feared, making her the exception. Even if he had to sacrifice himself for her, he would gladly do so.After some time, Lucille, Daisy, and Hunter sat on the couch and remained in the living room.Hunter had dressed himself in a white sweater and black trousers. He sat with one leg crossed and leaned against the couch, looking cocky.In r

With a calm look and tone, Lucille replied, "If so, I'll spread the word myself and hope they come to me instead. It'd be so much easier that way."Hunter's eyes widened in disbelief. This brat dared to threaten him!She glanced at him with no sense of panic, as though knowing he would do her the favor regardless. She leaned against the couch and patiently waited for his reply.Hunter had to be the person to handle the task of locating Base 103. After all, she wouldn't have approached him with such unpleasant news if she didn't have to.Daisy, who was watching the discussion from the side, silently counted to 30. After half a minute, Hunter piped up, as expected, and huffed coldly. "Alright, alright. I'll do it. What choice do I even have?"As though having foreseen the outcome, Daisy shrugged and glanced at him with a scoff. "You literally said you wouldn't do it even if she begged. What happened? We haven't even gotten to that part, and you've already given in. How boring."Luc

Bethany took the driver's seat on their way back. In the car, Lucille felt a sudden soreness in her abdomen and deduced that it was a sign of premenstrual syndrome. At that moment, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller and saw it was the organizer of the annual International Perfumery Competition, Matilda Dunn.Lucille had just said hello when she heard an enthusiastic female voice speaking with a foreign accent. "My dear Lucy, have you considered the favor I asked about before?"Lucille refreshed her memory briefly and couldn't recall the favor. She thought Matilda wanted her to participate in the event and rejected her, "If it's about partaking in the competition, I'm out."Matilda was unsurprised by her response and maintained her enthusiasm. "That's fine. You're Deer, the mystery master perfumer famous across the entire globe. Of course, you won't be expected to participate in such a lame competition to boost your reputation."Lucille's lips tugged awkwardly. Was the Inte

Lucille found George sitting on the couch in the living room. "Commander Lawton?" She was shocked to see him."I'm sorry to have shown up unannounced, Mrs. Layton." He rose and turned toward her.Lucille sat across from him and said, "Have a seat. How has your sister been?"Since the accident at the filming location, Claire's family had taken her back home, and Lucille hadn't seen her since then. But she'd heard from Bailey that Claire had recovered enough to walk now.George sat down again and smiled politely. "She's fine; she just requires some more rest."He was the typical tough and reliable-looking type of man, with a neat short haircut that suited his demeanor well. His features were also nice and well-defined."That's great to hear. Why are you here, then?" Lucille asked.Immediately, George took out two personal profiles from a paper file folder he'd brought along with him. "Mrs. Layton, could you please look and see if you know these two individuals?" He laid the papers

At her words, George frowned and instinctively asked, "So, what happened to his wrists and ankles?"They'd found that the negative news regarding Star&Ciel Group had been debunked the same day word of it had been spread. Later that afternoon, Larry had disappeared for several days until someone discovered his body. His wrists and ankles showed signs of injury, which did not appear to be caused by his fall from the bridge.The forensic pathologist had opined that those injuries could've resulted from his limbs being deliberately broken and then subsequently relocated, though they hadn't healed in the end. As of then, the authorities hadn't uncovered the culprit who'd broken his wrists and ankles.Lucille raised her head slowly and lowered her dark but knowing gaze. Without answering him, she deflected the question. "You mean to ask whether I was the mastermind behind his assault, right, Commander Lawton?"George pursed his lips, tacitly agreeing.She smiled faintly. "I'll say it
A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 397
The longer Lucille looked at it, the more her frown deepened.George sat on the edge of the couch, leaning forward with his elbows on his thighs and his hands clasped together. He explained, "We actually discovered this by accident. What a coincidence that when we tracked these two individuals, we noticed your presence wherever they went."That includes the time you went to Marvonia. Although they took a different flight, they landed at the same destination and walked the same paths as you did in."Was it all just a coincidence? That could be it if it had been just a few times, but there was evidently a pattern, meaning it was no longer a coincidence.Lucille wasn't shocked by that revelation. She'd always known that she was being followed, but what surprised her was that the people doing it were Jane's aides. In fact, she'd even investigated it before and found no traces that connected to Jane.So, how had George discovered that?She looked up at him with suspicion, and there wa

After heading downstairs, Lucille prepared a glass of warm milk and took it to the study. She pushed open the door and found Spencer finishing up with his last document.The seriousness and exhaustion on his face immediately vanished and transformed into gentleness when he saw her.Since the heater was on, he wore only a white shirt, with the top two buttons unfastened, revealing his enticing collarbones. He seemed alluring and seductive with his air of sophistication, and he had his usual mature and composed demeanor, along with the tenderness that was uniquely reserved for her."Drink this." Lucille walked to his side and passed him the glass. She knew he'd been having some rough nights lately.She'd always been one to sleep through the night, but perhaps because she was used to his presence, she would wake up in the middle of the night if he was missing from the bed.No matter how stressed or frustrated Spencer was because of work, he would always present her with his best self

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
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
