A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 559
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

Sabrina couldn't get a rise out of Lucille, no matter how nasty she sounded. Lucille merely continued to look at her indifferently, almost as if she were watching a circus act.The International Perfumery Competition would start at 10:30 am. It was now 9:00 am, and people were already starting to enter the venue.Sabrina needed to prepare for the first round of the finals. She decided to give up because Lucille wasn't responding to her taunts. She was sure Lucille wouldn't be able to enter the venue anyway.Lucille watched her. Then, she asked a question she'd already asked in the past. "Do you really want to become Deer's apprentice?"Before Sabrina could say anything, Lucille continued, "Whatever. I already know the answer. Let's hope your wish comes true, then."Sabrina's heart sank when she saw the pointed smile on Lucille's face. Then again, she figured there was no way the latter would know Deer, no matter how capable she was.Deer never accepted favors from anyone—she was

Some of the contestants started whispering among themselves."Why have they changed it to giving a theme on the spot?""I know, right? Didn't they already announce the theme? How can they just change it on the fly?""The formula I've prepared will be useless, then."Some contestants were worried, while some were unaffected."You guys still don't understand the rules of the International Perfumery Competition, do you? Yes, the theme was announced some time ago, but the committee also mentioned they wouldn't rule out a last-minute change." A woman scoffed. She couldn't help speaking up when she saw the chattering contestants."Don't tell me you aren't capable of doing anything now that the theme has been changed," she mocked. "If that's the case, you might as well retire from the perfumery industry. Don't humiliate yourselves."Someone wanted to retort, but they shut up when they saw who she was. They weren't afraid; they'd just been caught off guard.The fact that Deer was prese

Lucille guessed Sabrina had already finalized the best version of her perfume formula for the second section. She wanted to see how Sabrina would deal with this curveball.Sabrina felt like she'd swallowed a fly after she switched stations. She was pissed as hell but couldn't show it. All she could do was go along with the change.She didn't know why the rules for this year's competition had been changed on the spot. Could it be that she had been found out?Sabrina passed the first section in trepidation. She was the fifth to finish, taking 4 minutes and 50 seconds. She'd cut it close.Everyone was familiar with her. After all, she'd been embroiled in trouble arising from her personal life. In fact, she'd been one of the main characters in that scandal with the affluent families.Setting that aside, she'd also always placed in the competition, even becoming the first runner-up once. There was also the fact that she'd always been known as the talented heiress. That naturally made h

The committee didn't set any rules for the contestants' progress throughout the four hours. It was up to them to control their time. If they'd yet to complete the last step and produce a perfume at the end of the four hours, they would have failed.Four hours was long, but time flew when one was engrossed. Lucille watched the competition from her seat on the judge's panel, feeling a burning gaze on her the whole time. She knew who it belonged to.It was just that there were too many eyes and cameras around. So, she felt it was better to maintain a low profile. She forced herself not to turn around.…Meanwhile, the people at Windmere Manor were watching the livestream of the competition."Ms. Lucille is brilliant and talented above all else. To think she's already achieved so much in the perfumery industry at her age," Andrew said with gratification. "Your mother wanted you to learn perfumery back in the day, but you just weren't interested in it."She could only give up on the i

Still, there was no underestimating the power of the Internet. Some people had soon managed to dig up information on Samantha, but they'd been stopped before spreading the information. And so, only few people knew the truth about her.Samantha, who was contestant no. 9, was the first to finish writing her perfume formula. Lucille surreptitiously checked the time and saw that she'd taken 20 minutes. It wasn't considered too fast or too slow—it was a logical amount of time.Just because one wrote quickly didn't mean they would definitely win. The final product was still what would determine who came out on top.Zoe, who was contestant no. 3, was the second to finish her formula. Sabrina and the five other contestants followed. Most of them had finished their formulas within 30 minutes.Lucille kept glancing at Sabrina, so she saw every minute expression that appeared on the latter's face. It looked like she was confident she would win.Lucille smirked underneath the veil again. It

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
