A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 554
"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

"Don't worry, though. The competition will still go on as usual. Here's the plan…" Lucille whispered a few things to Matilda, which calmed the latter down."Alright, then. We'll follow your plan," she said. "With me around, you can do whatever you want. I'll clean up the mess if anything goes wrong."She paused. "No, that's not right. No one would dare do anything to you even if I'm not there to clean the mess up."Lucille knew Matilda had many more things to do, so she didn't linger and left after a while. In the car, Bethany asked, "Should we head home now, Mrs. Layton?"Lucille thought about it. "Let's go to Creekside Villas."Bethany didn't question it. She drove out of the hotel's parking lot. She noticed something amiss when they were halfway to their destination. "Someone seems to be trailing us, Mrs. Layton."Lucille had been resting her eyes. She opened them at Bethany's words and glanced in the rearview mirror. Then, she said, "Shake him off. I have faith in your skil

Lucille and Bethany soon arrived at Creekside Villas, but Lucille didn't get out of the car. Bethany saw her looking glum after hanging up the phone. It was rare to see her like that. "Is anything wrong, Mrs. Layton?"Lucille looked at her and asked, "Why do you think Ian is so insistent on finding Eunie? Why doesn't he want to let her go?"Ian was even willing to use Moore Group's shares as part of his wager. If it were true that he didn't have feelings for Eunice, why was he doing this?There was no telling who would win the bet, but his willingness to put Moore Group's shares on the line showed how serious he was about the whole thing."I think Mr. Moore has feelings for Ms. Lennon, Mrs. Layton," Bethany said.Lucille raised an eyebrow. "How can you be sure about that?"Bethany bit her lip hesitantly. "I heard about something once. It seems Mr. Moore Senior objected to Mr. Moore marrying Ms. Lennon, but Mr. Moore insisted on it. He and Mr. Moore Senior even got into a huge f

It was such a wondrous feeling."The baby usually only kicks me at night. Looks like it made an exception today because it knew you were here," Eunice said with a smile.She and Lucille chatted for a while. Then, Lucille asked, "Are you sure you won't tell Ian about this, Eunie? You're just going to drag this out and keep this from him forever?"Eunice briefly fell silent. "This is all I can do since he refuses to sign the divorce papers."She sighed. "It's only for two years. It'll pass soon enough."Lucille knew what she meant by that. She was still determined to go through with the divorce. "Can you bring yourself to let him go?"Eunice turned to look at her, her smile relaxed. "So what if I can't? There will never be a place for me in his heart."For a moment, Lucille didn't know what to say. She caught a hint of bitterness in Eunice's eyes before the latter looked down at her belly. "The first time I asked for a divorce, he came to Whiteloop City to look for me. At the ti

That night, Bethany went to report the information she'd dug up to Lucille. She handed the latter an envelope and said, "This is the information on Ms. Sage you requested, Mrs. Layton."Lucille sat cross-legged on the couch in the living room. She took the envelope from Bethany but noticed the latter holding another. Bethany continued, "Please go through this one first."She stood there and waited. Soon, Lucille frowned. Bethany asked, "Is anything wrong?""They're half-sisters?" Lucille asked."Yeah. You didn't know that?"Lucille was taken aback. No, she hadn't known about Sage and Eunice being half-sisters. She'd always thought they shared the same parents. The information indicated Sage had only been two years older than Eunice.Sage's mother and Carson had divorced when Sage had only been one. A year later, Carson had remarried and started a new family. It turned out there was a story behind the Lennon family's relationships.The information indicated that Sage had always b

Connor said, "Wait, Lucille's into perfumery, too? Why would she need to join any competitions with her status? She can just—""That's why she's a judge, not a contestant." Spencer sounded proud, and Connor could hear it. The latter was lost for words.…The following day, Spencer told Lucille he would be her driver for the day. What reason did she have to turn down a handsome and considerate man who was offering his services for free?Once they left Sparrow Residence, Herbert got to work and instructed people to do what Spencer had requested.This year's International Perfumery Competition finals were held at Whiteloop City's Golden Troupe Exhibition Center, a large space that could accommodate close to a thousand people.Outside the venue, three entrance and exit pathways had been set up—one for the contestants, one for the judges and VIPs, and one for selected audience members. The audience members could vote for the contestants.In addition to the contestants and judges, 500

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

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
