A Heartwarming Marriage Chapter 82
After lunch, Lucille walked around Spencer's office. It was her first time there, and she hadn't gotten a proper look earlier. Now that she had time, she explored the space in detail.It turned out to be as expected of an investor of other businesses. The office was several times bigger than hers. Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to walk around and explore the space. The office had all the necessities: a break room, a kitchen, rows of bookshelves, and display cabinets with various items.Lucille stood before one of the bookshelves with both hands behind her back. With a sigh of surprise, she remarked, "The office of an investor like yourself is really something else."Spencer, who was sitting on the couch not far from her, chuckled upon hearing that. "I can give this office to you if you want it. I'm yours, anyway."Lucille spun around to face him. She pursed her lips, sighed lightly, then said, "No thanks. I can't handle such a big corporation. I should just stick with runnin

Bailey had endured a long match-making session from the moment she'd woken up until now. Her mother had seized the opportunity to nag at her about getting married.The well-dressed woman with plump skin beside Bailey was the latter's mother, Cynthia Fletcher. Cynthia was the matriarch and queen in their family's social pyramid. Nobody dared to mess with her. She urged, "Come, dearest daughter of mine. What do you think about this one?"She raised the tablet's screen toward Bailey. "The young man's the nephew of Helena Loyle, a friend of mine. He works for the government. He has a stable job and comes from a decent family. The best part? His family members don't have complicated or messy backgrounds."Bailey couldn't be bothered to look at the young man's photo. He was the 18th person Cynthia had presented to her. She had to admit that Cynthia's patience was formidable. Not to mention, Cynthia had incredible social connections with various friends' sons, nephews, cousins, and t

Bailey: "I'm only 24, but my mom's desperate for me to get married this instant. Oh, the misery!"Lucille: "Dang. What are you going to do now?"That was when Bailey tagged Eunice. "Eunie, are you coming back for Thanksgiving?"She'd only realized after sending it that she shouldn't have asked Eunice that. Alas, Eunice had already responded to her.Eunice: "Nope. Your Uncle Ian declared that I can never step foot into Moore Manor."Embarrassment and deep guilt were like termites gnawing at Bailey's chest. "I'm really sorry, Eunie. I shouldn't have asked that.""Silly girl. There's nothing to be sorry about. All of the Moore family knows about it anyway. So, it's not a secret." Eunice was incredibly understanding.She continued, "Don't worry about it. I'm fine. It's been many years, so I've long gotten used to it. Besides, I have nothing to hide when I'm with you two. I'm actually happy I can chat with you guys, even if it's only sometimes. "However, I should still warn you guy

Wilfred was taken aback by Eunice's question. Who in their right mind would insist on being scolded every day? Well, apparently, the person standing before him would.With a kind smile, Wilfred said, "Mrs. Moore, Mr. Moore actually cares about you."However, Eunice was unfazed. She forced a smile and looked at him. "Wilfred, I'm not blind or heartless, you know."Wilfred paused, feeling a bit uncertain about what he'd just said. He sighed inwardly.Meanwhile, Ian was in his car, heading back to Whiteloop City.Lucille, on the other hand, had been on the top floor at JM Corporation since 2:00 pm. She'd been there for three hours. The office gossip mill was churning again.Someone in the group chat said, "Hey, Mrs. Layton has been in the CEO's office for three hours. What do you guys think they are doing?"Another person replied with a curious emoji.The gossipmongers quickly joined in.Less than a minute later, someone from the secretarial department chimed in to clear things u

At 6:00 pm, a small crowd gathered in the lobby of JM Corporation Tower. They were all eager to catch a glimpse of the CEO's wife.Little did they know that Spencer had already left with Lucille through the underground garage.…The next day, it was Thanksgiving.After breakfast, Lucille and Spencer headed straight to Harmony Sanitorium to pick up Marie and take her to Layton Manor.Since the extended Layton family would be visiting that evening, and Marie preferred quiet, they planned to take her over just for lunch.Surprisingly, they ran into William, Ivy, Sabrina, and Harold at the entrance of the sanitorium.As cars weren't allowed in, there was a designated parking area outside. As soon as Lucille stepped out of the car, she saw the four of them standing near the security booth.Her brows knitted slightly; she didn't want Spencer to encounter them, but it seemed too late. Sabrina had already spotted her and was heading her way.At the same time, Spencer got out of the ca

Lucille sensed Spencer's anger and gently patted the back of his hand, signaling him to calm down. It wasn't worth getting upset over.As expected, Spencer visibly relaxed."I'm not being hostile. I'm just annoyed," Lucille uttered coolly, glancing at Harold.Harold watched their subtle interaction and felt an unexpected surge of irritation. Lucille seemed to have lost weight since the last time they'd seen each other.In fact, he'd always known that Lucille was beautiful."Lucy, even though I love your sister, I don't want you to be with random guys just to spite us," Harold said, his tone serious like he was lecturing her out of concern.Lucille looked at Harold as if he;d just told the most ridiculous joke, and she couldn't help but scoff at his self-centered attitude."Spite you?" she questioned, narrowing her eyes. "Do you think you're that important? Go home and take a look at yourself in the mirror."Harold was left speechless."Lucille, I—" Sabrina started, but an indi

Marie hurriedly waved her hand. "Don't call me that. I'm not fit to be your mother."Ivy's face turned pale with stiffness.Similarly, Sabrina, who'd been about to address Marie, found herself unable to speak.William's expression soured as he attempted to reason with Marie. "Mom, it's been so many years. Can't you accept Ivy and Sabrina by now?"Marie responded calmly, "My acceptance is irrelevant since you and your father have already done it.""Also, you don't need to visit me anymore. I'm doing just fine," Marie added decisively. "And stop bothering Lucy. I was the one who refused to see all of you."Throughout the conversation, Marie didn't spare so much as an extra glance toward Ivy, Harold, or Sabrina. She'd long seen their true colors.Only the foolish Horace and William would believe Ivy's and Sabrina's words."Let's go now. We shouldn't keep others waiting," Marie urged, turning to Lucille with a look of kindness and affection.But she remained utterly dismissive of

Sabrina's mind raced with questions as she wondered about Spencer's identity.Why had she never encountered or even heard of such a striking man in their social circles before?As the car drove away, William and the others dispersed as well. The entire trip seemed futile.On the way back, Harold recalled Marie's comment about acknowledging Spencer as her grandson-in-law. He thought, "So, that guy's name is Spence?"He'd never heard of Spencer.The only people in Whiteloop City he could think of who could afford that Maybach were the Laytons, who belonged to a prestigious family with a long-established legacy in the business world.Nevertheless, Harold soon dismissed the idea. Given the Laytons' illustrious reputation, they would never be interested in a nobody like Lucille.Moreover, the head of the Layton family was notoriously elusive, a business genius who was known for his ruthlessness and a notable disinterest in women.It just didn't add up.Harold couldn't recall any ot

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

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
