A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 549
"Oh…" Lucille dragged it out. Then, she laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so poor, Ethan. You don't even have a billion dollars."She turned to Spencer. "Don't you think you should help him out, honey?"He said, "No. He won't starve."Lucille looked at Ethan again. "Or are you just a scrooge, Ethan? Are you unwilling to reimburse such a small sum?"Ethan stared at her. She and Spencer had rendered him speechless. After a while, he said, "You two are better off keeping your mouths shut."…Meanwhile, Ruben was in the presidential suite at Ivory Hotel.Phoenix entered the room, wearing a purple coat and black low-heeled boots. "Ms. Lucy is out of the hospital and back at Sparrow Residence, Mr. Gale."She looked at Ruben lying on the bed with a hand underneath his head. He looked relaxed, but there was fatigue written all over his face. He'd gone without sleep for four consecutive nights.He'd originally wanted to come to Whiteloop City five days ago, but they'd receiv

Things at Sparrow Residence were lively, thanks to the sudden influx of visitors.Spencer had called Herbert earlier to inform him Lucille was being discharged. Herbert had instructed the maids to clean every corner of the manor to welcome Lucille home. Lana had also kept busy in the kitchen all day, preparing Lucille's favorite dishes and desserts.This was Bailey's first time at Sparrow Residence. She made Lucas show her around but wanted to give up halfway through the tour."I can't do it anymore!" Bailey crouched on the floor unceremoniously. She cried, "I don't want to walk anymore. I can't walk anymore!"Lucas turned to look at her, feeling amused yet resigned. She was the one who'd asked for a tour earlier. Now, she was complaining about being too tired to continue. They'd only covered 10% of the estate.She said, "This place is so huge that it's almost ridiculous. I finally have an idea of how rich Mr. Layton really is."Lucas asked, "Are you jealous?"She looked up at h

"Mr. Gale is showering, Ms. Lucy," Phoenix said on the other end of the line.Lucille wasn't surprised by her answering the phone. No other woman but Phoenix could get close to Ruben. She said, "It's fine. Speaking to you is the same as speaking to him."Phoenix didn't understand that. Lucille got to the point and said, "Did you guys demand a lot of money from Spencer when he asked The Grid to search for me?"I remember telling you guys not to let anyone know my whereabouts, which means The Grid wouldn't have accepted the job. Why did you take so much money from him, then?"Phoenix was taken aback. "Uh… I think you'll have to ask—"Lucille cut her off. "Don't tell me you don't know what happened, Phoenix."Phoenix could sense the iciness in her tone. She knew what Lucille was like, so she said, "Mr. Gale has forbidden us from telling you, Ms. Lucy."She wondered whether this was considered a betrayal of Ruben's trust."Why?" Lucille asked.Phoenix was briefly silent. "Mr. Gale

"That won't happen. Spencer won't find out as long as we don't say anything," Lucille said. "Besides, no one will dare punish you with me on your side."She was perfectly capable of driving and had faith in her skills. It was her body, and she knew it best.Bethany considered the matter. No, she couldn't do it—she didn't dare take the risk. It didn't matter whether she was punished or not. She believed Lucille would defend her, but what she was worried about was Lucille's safety. She couldn't joke around with that."You should still take me along, Mrs. Layton," Bethany said. "I promise you I won't tell boss about where you're going. Let me tag along so I won't worry about you."Lucille knew Bethany was on her side when she saw the determined look in the latter's eyes. "Alright, then. Start driving.""Where are we going?""Tempest Casino."Bethany started the car and drove out of JM Corporation's underground parking lot. Meanwhile, Spencer, who was supposed to be in a meeting,

Boris left Zachary and Bart behind.Bart asked, "Will Boris agree to sell us 50% of the casino's shares, Mr. Jonas?"Zachary took a long drag of his cigarette and blew out a mouthful of smoke, concealing half his face. It added a sense of mystery to him. He said lightheartedly, "Maybe."He hadn't expected to see Ruben in a place like this. As far as he knew, the latter didn't have a gambling habit. So, he was probably at the casino to do something. And Boris had left after Ruben had arrived…Zachary's eyes glinted with a hint of mystery and intrigue. After a while, someone who surprised him even more appeared at the casino. Wasn't she supposed to be at home?He glanced at her again before pulling out his phone and calling Spencer. The latter only answered after several rings."Guess who I've just seen at Tempest Casino, Spence." The first thing Zachary did was leave Spencer hanging."Spit out whatever you have to say." Spencer evidently wasn't into the guessing game."Ruben Gal

"Are you thinking of going there alone again?" Ruben already knew what Lucille's plan was. He continued in exasperation, "When are you going to stop this bad habit of acting alone? I don't even know when you picked this up!"Lucille lowered her eyes without saying anything. Her eyes gleamed ruthlessly. She subtly took a deep breath after a brief silence, then said, "After Riley left, I guess."That took Ruben aback. Then, he slapped himself for bringing up the subject. He'd killed the conversation. He knew Riley's death was a painful subject to Lucille.None of them knew what had happened that year—not even Octavius, who'd been there with them. All he knew was that Lucille and Riley had been taken away together. Then, Lucille had returned alone.Octavius had told the rest of them that Lucille had become a woman of few words from that day onward. She'd refused to talk about what had happened between her and Riley, and they hadn't pushed her.Lucille gave Ruben a sideways look. "It'

So, did this mean Zachary had been worried for nothing?"No, something's not right here," he said. "Since when has Luce been friends with Ruben Gale? It's not like you don't know what he's like."Spencer was still as cool as a cucumber. "She has every right to befriend anyone she wants. I can't interfere with that.""When did you become so generous?" Zachary was nonplussed by his words. "Aren't you jealous? That's Ruben Gale, you know. He looks good and comes from an influential family. He's also the head of The Grid."Spencer asked in return, "Are you saying I can't compare to him?"Once again, Zachary was rendered speechless.Spencer was only this calm and composed because of what had happened with Corey. It was true he didn't like any men being around Lucille, but things were different if they were his "brothers-in-law".As far as he knew, Corey and Ruben were good friends. So…He didn't want to act rashly this time in case it led to yet another misunderstanding. More import

"So, he knows I'm here?" Lucille asked.Of course Zachary knew who she was referring to. "Yeah, he does. I told him about it."He was telling the truth. Besides, he didn't want them to misunderstand each other. "I told him to come, but he refused. He said he wouldn't interfere with your social circle."Lucille believed him. Spencer had always given her freedom and his complete trust. He would get jealous but also knew how to control himself. He knew when it was the right time for jealousy and when it wasn't.Zachary's curious gaze traveled between her and Ruben. For once, he became as eager for gossip as Ethan. "How do you two know each other, Luce?"Since he'd already run into them, Lucille had nothing to hide. She was about to answer when Ruben spoke up, sounding sarcastic. "What's up? Are you feeling jealous or envious? God knows where you were when she met me."Everyone fell silent at that. This was Phoenix's first time seeing Ruben so sarcastic. He was rather… childish.S

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
