"No, she just has an upset stomach.""Oh ..."Josie was extremely disappointed.After she fell ill, her desire to have a grandchild became stronger. She was afraid she wouldn't live to see that day.After dinner, Josie urged Lucas and Chelsey to go home.Just before leaving, Josie couldn't help but advise Lucas, "Lucas, work hard and let me see my grandchild soon. You can do this."Lucas remained silent and pressed his lips into a thin line.Suddenly, he felt he wasn't a good son to Josie. He couldn't even fulfill her small wish.…In Lucas' car, Chelsey didn't mention her address, and Lucas didn't ask.As they drove, she suddenly realized that they were heading toward her house.She turned to Lucas and asked, "You know where I live?"Lucas looked ahead and calmly replied, "Yeah."Not only did he know, but he would soon be her neighbor.Wait, he was already her neighbor. He just hadn't formally moved in.Initially, he thought Chelsey was living in Timothy's house.Howev
Chelsey said half-jokingly, "Tim, you're not young anymore. You should start dating. When will you introduce a girlfriend to Mr. Johnson?"Timothy knew Chelsey still had Lucas in her heart, so he wasn't in a hurry to confess. As her "brother", it was easier for him to stay by her side and take care of her.If he confessed now, she would definitely distance herself from him.Timothy replied seriously, "I haven't met someone who makes my heart flutter. There's no rush. It's better to have none than to have a bad one.""You're right." Chelsey nodded in agreement. A woman who could make Timothy's heart flutter must be exceptionally outstanding.She wondered when that person would appear.At this moment, a man in a black suit approached Timothy and whispered something in his ear. Timothy's face darkened, and he nodded. "Go handle it.""Yes, Mr. Somner."As Chelsey watched the man in the black suit leave, she recognized him as the person who was often around Timothy. She had seen him
Chelsey stood with her hands on her hips. She turned in front of the mirror, and the more she looked, the more she liked how she looked. Before changing, she quickly transferred money to Eva to avoid Timothy paying for her.Timothy shook his head with a smile, feeling that Chelsey was growing increasingly courteous to him.On the way home, Chelsey called Jason and asked him to send the shop's best piece to her house. She wanted to wear it to the charity auction tonight.The best piece of Queen Jewelry was a necklace with an 80-carat Paraiba tourmaline.The Paraiba tourmaline was transparent with captivating colors, like wearing the clear sea around the neck.The red dress, paired with the deep blue Paraiba tourmaline made for a surprisingly good match. They complemented each other perfectly.Timothy also arranged for a professional styling team to help Chelsey with makeup and hair.At 5:00 pm, Timothy arrived on time in his Rolls-Royce Cullinan to pick up Chelsey.The moment he
Just standing there, Chelsey became the most beautiful sight. She made everyone else fade into the background.In Lucas' eyes, there was only her.The auction quickly began.Guests who attended the auction tonight had all made donations. Since there were many items up for bid, the pace of the auction was fast. All the funds raised were used to support impoverished girls and women in mountainous areas.Soon, it was time for the diamond necklace that Chelsey donated to be auctioned.The starting bid was one million.Lucas was specifically there for this necklace. He made the first bid, raising the price to two million.Hearing someone bid two million, Chelsey turned to look at the bidder.She was surprised to see Lucas, and she saw that Shannon was sitting next to him. She instinctively frowned at this sight.She felt that she was bumping into him everywhere.Did they need to display their affection in front of her?Chelsey withdrew her gaze, feeling a sense of disgust.Shann
Lucas had a solemn expression but didn't refuse Shannon.He also put on disposable gloves and started peeling shrimp.He had never done it before, so compared to Timothy's skills, he seemed a bit clumsy.Although he tried to imitate Timothy's skillful shrimp-peeling technique, with one pull, the shrimp was torn in half. He managed to peel it, but the shrimp vein got damaged, making the shrimp meat appear messy.In the past, Chelsey used to peel shrimp for him.Before Chelsey married him, he would rather not eat shrimp than peel it himself.But today, he really wanted to learn.On one hand, he wanted to peel shrimp for Chelsey, and on the other hand, he didn't want to lose to Timothy.He had heard every word Timothy said clearly.It turned out that Chelsey didn't like peeling shrimp either, but she peeled it for him for three years.All this while, Shannon impatiently watched.Chelsey's plate was almost full of shrimp, but Lucas hadn't mastered the skill of peeling yet.Even
Chelsey was startled by Lucas' words.How did he know she was pregnant?Didn't Timothy promise to keep it a strict secret?Even if Lucas checked, he wouldn't find anything.Chelsey felt uneasy. She was worried that Lucas might try to compete with her for the child.If it was a boy, the Yates family would definitely want him."Really? Chels is pregnant?"The happiest person was Josie. Her pale face instantly gained a rosy glow, and she looked vibrant."Chels, quick. Let me touch my little grandson." Josie extended her hand excitedly, gently caressing Chelsey's still-flat abdomen.Josie smiled brightly. "My dear grandson, I'm your granny. I'll care for you and love you."Seeing Josie so happy like a child, Chelsey felt a pang of bitterness.If it weren't for Shannon's interference, they would probably be very happy as a family.Even if Lucas didn't love her, he would still be with her for the child.Lucas took out a thermos, saying, "Mom, are you hungry? Have something to ea
"Tim ...""Have you come out? I'm in the parking lot. Go right after leaving the hospital, and it's about 300 feet away."Chelsey felt guilty and said cautiously, "Tim, you should go back first. I may not be able to leave for a while.""It's okay. When are you leaving? I'll wait for you."Perhaps only Chelsey could make Timothy be on call. He was more dedicated than a chauffeur.Chelsey didn't want Timothy to wait too long. After some thought, she said, "I may not be going back tonight. You go back first."Since she was putting it this way, Timothy could only leave. "Alright then. Call me tomorrow when you're coming back. I'll pick you up.""I'll let you know tomorrow. Thank you, Tim.""Bye.""Bye."Chelsey hung up the phone. When she lifted her head, she saw Lucas staring at her with intense eyes.Even he had to admit that Timothy was genuinely good to Chelsey.Once again, he found himself on the losing end.Chelsey was right. Anyone would choose Timothy over him, and he
Lucas stared at the alluring Chelsey, feeling a surge of heat rush to his head. He felt as if his body could explode at any moment.This made him uncomfortable.Lucas looked at Chelsey. She was elegant and ethereal, her eyes shimmering with innocence and allure. Her mouth was moist and rosy, resembling jelly.Lucas was not a lustful person, but Chelsey made him lose control. He was no longer able to think with his head. His lower body was in control now.Lucas stared at Chelsey, taking in her unwillingness. Her pure and delicate face showed no extra expression, only coldness.Was she always this cold when he couldn't see?After spending three years together, did she never fall for him, not even for a second?Chelsey turned around, intending to open the bathroom door.Suddenly, Lucas embraced her from behind.Their scalding bodies, separated by her thin nightwear, exchanged relentless heat.With that, Chelsey's body temperature also rose, and her heart was pounding rapidly.L
