Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 252
"Mr. Walker...""Go buy the tickets."Luke handed me his wallet, stretching it out in front of me."Mr. Walker, my fear is gone. I can drive now!" I would happily demonstrate my driving skills to avoid bungee jumping.Luke remained silent, simply pointing in the direction of the ticket booth.It was evident that he wasn't going to change his mind. With heavy footsteps, I reluctantly made my way to the ticket booth, wishing it were further away. Though it was only about twenty meters from the entrance, it felt like I was running a marathon. It took me five minutes to cover that short distance.Meanwhile, Luke stood there and reminded me, "Jen, make sure to get tickets for today."He seemed to read my thoughts perfectly. Even if I wanted to pull a trick or find a way out, there was no chance of escaping this situation.With great reluctance, I purchased the tickets and urgently texted Wendy, asking her to call me with an important matter that required my immediate attention.As

"There's not much space for two people in one car."Only after Luke and I sat in the bumper car did we realize the issue. Though the car was meant for two, we were two adults, and it was a tight fit, leading to unavoidable physical contact. I tried to make myself as small as possible to keep some distance between us. "Maybe we should each take our own car," I suggested.Before Luke could respond, the staff signaled the start and the cars began to move. I was jolted forward as another car collided with us from behind, bringing back memories of a previous rear-end accident. My body tensed up, and I instinctively gripped the steering wheel to steady myself."Steer and move forward," Luke's deep, calm voice sounded in my ear, helping me regain some composure. However, I still felt uncertain about what to do next.Bang! Another car hit us from the right, causing both of us to shake. My mind, which had just started to clear, became muddled again.After a few more collisions, I began to

Fortunately, I had the foresight to move the phone away from my ear.Even from about eight inches away, I could still hear Wendy yelling, "You sent me an ambiguous message, didn't answer my calls, and I thought something terrible had happened! If you had called back any later, I would have been at the police station!""I'm sorry, Wendy. It was noisy here and I didn't hear the phone. Just calm down, and I'll treat you to some afternoon tea.""Do you think a cup of tea can calm me down?" Wendy's tone softened. "Fine, one mocha and a fruit salad. Don't add anything else; I'm on a diet.""Got it!"Wendy was strict about her figure and very disciplined. Compared to her, I was much lazier. If it hadn't been for a series of unexpected events, I wouldn't have slimmed down so quickly after giving birth."So, what did your message mean?""It's a bit complicated. I'll explain later. I have something else to do now."Luke was still waiting nearby, so I couldn't keep talking to Wendy. After

Half an hour later, in room 1206 of the Westinal Hotel, Luke knocked on the door. Wendy appeared, wrapped in a towel, her slightly tousled hair giving her a softer look."Are you hurt?" I urgently asked, wondering which clueless man had dared to mess with Wendy. I hurried forward to check on her and gripped her arm.Wendy was about to say something to Luke but looked surprised when she saw me. "Honey, what are you doing here?""Something happens to you. How could I not be here?"The fact that Wendy contacted Luke first instead of me stung a bit."There's no one in Johnsonville who can harm me!" Wendy twirled around, showing off. "Aside from some torn clothes, I'm perfectly fine.""That's a relief!"My concern for Wendy's safety had blinded me to the situation. Now, seeing her safe, I glanced at the hotel room behind her. Hotel room, towel, Luke... Had I interrupted something? Just as the realization hit me, I felt a pang of regret."What are you thinking?" Wendy, who knew me we

"Mr. Walker, Mr. York's head is slightly swollen. Although it doesn't appear serious, it would be best to take him to the hospital for a thorough examination to ensure his safety."Luke responded, "Make the necessary arrangements.""Jen, did you hear that? Stephen is fine. Can we leave now?" Wendy asked."I'll give you a ride home," I told Wendy, and we departed from the hotel.As we reached the parking garage, I headed towards the driver's side. "I'll drive.""Did I hear you correctly? You just said you'll drive?" Wendy stopped, looking at me in disbelief."I've been practicing. I can drive now."The car was already unlocked. I sat in the driver's seat and motioned for Wendy, who was now in the passenger seat, to fasten her seatbelt."Wendy, is your fear of driving gone?""Mm-hmm.""Your fear disappeared quickly. That's a good thing," Wendy said, but her hand was already gripping the overhead handle, clearly still on edge.To help Wendy relax, I shared the story of going to

Wendy gave me a wink, brimming with anticipation.She was right. Mandy's actions were something Stephen would never let go unnoticed. Even if he couldn't have her arrested, she wouldn't have an easy time ahead."You really saved Stephen's life. He should properly thank you when he wakes up.""I don't need his thanks!" Wendy tightened the towel around her. "If it weren't for a client getting drunk and me helping him back to the hotel, I wouldn't have run into Mandy sneaking around, and none of this would've happened. I almost got caught up in it myself. I'm never meddling in others' business again.""It's all over now."The fear in Wendy's expression indicated that the situation must have been truly dire. I gently patted her shoulder to comfort her."I'm fine, just venting," Wendy said, leaning against the car door, eyes half-closed, clearly exhausted."Get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get home.""It's almost midnight now. If you drop me off and drive back, it'll be the

Wendy listened to my words and, feeling both proud and sympathetic, let out a secret sigh of relief."I will do my best!""If you ever feel stressed out, let me know. We'll figure it out together!""After everything I've been through, I can handle these workplace challenges!" I said with determination."I know my dear Jen is the best!"Seeing that I was fine, Wendy got into her car. I watched her leave before entering the Greenfield Building.To become a true executive assistant, I had a lot to learn. In my spare time, I shadowed Bryan and Zac, absorbing as much knowledge as possible.Bryan and Zac appreciated my eagerness to learn and were willing to teach me. Their mentorship was invaluable.Two days later, scandalous photos of Mandy flooded the internet. There were rumors that Balanc Capital terminated their partnership with Mulligan to avoid risks, given Mulligan's current situation.Mulligan was already in turmoil due to Francis Muller, with the company's stock fluctuatin

The Muller family had arrived in Johnsonville, and Mandy's attempt to escape was too late!Upon arriving home and walking the dog, I noticed a figure standing in front of the mansion. From the silhouette, it appeared to be a young woman. She had a slender frame and carried a gray shoulder bag, occasionally glancing towards the mansion.Could it be Mandy again?It seemed that no matter where I went, she always managed to find me! Just as I was about to contact the property management to have her removed, the person noticed me and hesitantly called out, "Jen?""Penelope?"In the dim light, I didn't initially recognize her, but her voice was unmistakable."You remember me!" Penelope Middleton's chubby round face broke into a smile as she approached but stopped a couple of feet away."Of course, I remember you! You're my cousin!" Penelope seemed nervous, so I took her hand. "You could have called me before coming to Johnsonville. I would have picked you up.""I'm actually working i

We both knew how we felt about each other, but neither of us made the first move to confess.“I gave birth to him in circumstances I couldn’t control,” Molly said, her hands tightly clutching her cup, fingers unconsciously tracing its edge. “I used to think about fighting back against the people who hurt me, but reality forced me to wake up. I couldn’t afford to lose everything.”She hesitated, her gaze dropping. “There are things from back then that I just can’t bring myself to tell him.”When I arranged for Luke and Molly to spend some time alone, the two of them mostly sat in silence.“Mrs. Walker couldn’t have children for years after her marriage. Luke was just a tool to help her secure her place in the family,” Molly explained.Mr. Walker was handsome, wealthy, and from a good family. After getting married, women constantly threw themselves at him. According to the information Wendy had dug up, Landon didn’t exactly push them away.In such a situation, Mrs. Walker, Ashleigh

Molly poured four glasses of juice and sat across from Luke.She looked like she wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start.I gave Ian a quick look.Ian took a sip of his juice and said, “Miss, the juice is sweet and sour—it’s so good!”“Drink it up, and I’ll pour you some more,” Molly offered.Luke interjected, “It’s almost time to rest. Don’t drink too much juice.”“I’m sorry, I don’t have experience taking care of kids,” Molly said, lowering her head. After a pause, she quietly repeated, “I’m sorry.”She was probably thinking of Luke as a baby.I clutched my stomach, pretending to wince. “Excuse me, Molly. My stomach hurts; I need to head back to my room.”As I stood, I grabbed Ian’s wrist.Ian caught on quickly. “Jen is a girl. She’ll get scared going back alone—I have to go with her.”Not giving Luke a chance to respond, I opened the door and said, “Mr. Walker, you stay and chat with Molly. Ian and I will be back in a bit.”In the hallway, Ian looked thoug

Molly wasn’t the type to make things difficult for others. She didn’t give the hotel manager a hard time.After the staff left, Molly turned to thank Luke and me. “Thank you for staying with me and helping me handle this.”Luke glanced at her but didn’t say anything.The silence grew awkward, so I quickly broke it. “You don’t have to thank us. We didn’t really do much.”“Would you like to come in and sit for a while?” Molly invited us into her room.Before either of us could respond, Ian, who’d been holding back his excitement, eagerly chimed in, “Yes, yes! Let’s go!”I sighed internally.Molly finally noticed the little one in Luke’s arms. “And who’s this?”“I’m Ian Lloyd,” he introduced himself cheerfully.But the moment he got a good look at Molly’s face, he let out a small “Huh?” and then turned to look at Luke.Luke frowned slightly, and their eyes met—a silent understanding passing between them. Ian immediately shut his mouth and swallowed whatever he’d been about to sa

Five hours later, we arrived in Sharonville.Before the trip, Luke had everything arranged. After landing, we took a car to the hotel he’d booked in advance.In the hotel lobby, we ran into Molly. She was walking with two middle-aged men in sharp suits, smiling as she chatted with them.When her eyes met Luke’s, her smile froze for a moment, then slowly softened as she stared at him without blinking.Luke didn’t acknowledge her. He walked right past, brushing by her shoulder as though she wasn’t there. From the corner of my eye, I saw her eyes redden.The two men exchanged glances but didn’t say anything. That night, however, they sent two young, handsome men to Molly’s room.Our room was on the same floor as Molly’s. After dinner out, we returned to the hotel and saw her standing at her door with the two young men.Their faces were powdered with heavy makeup, and they looked eager to please, practically glued to her.My thoughts immediately took a less innocent turn.Luke co

Amy messaging me at this hour was probably another complaint about other agencies trying to poach her, or how stressed she was about it all.The underlying message? She wanted me to contact Mr. Lloyd to secure better resources for her—a thinly veiled threat, essentially.Since several popular artists left One Entertainment, the company’s resources had started to dwindle.Mr. Lloyd’s return wasn’t just because of his love for acting. He also wanted to support the company’s artists, giving them more opportunities to shine.Amy had already begun to stand out. If she simply focused on honing her craft and stayed patient, she’d get her share of the spotlight.When Mr. Lloyd founded the company, his goal was to grow it into a powerhouse that protected its artists. Now, he had adopted a more laid-back approach: if an artist wanted to leave, they just needed to pay the penalty fee.Amy’s tactics wouldn’t change anything.I went back to reading my book.My phone buzzed again, and I ass

Mr. Lloyd's words carried a hint of reassurance for me.“Jen, Uncle asked me to create a travel itinerary!”Luke had been telling Ian lots of stories about Sharonville, and Ian had also looked up a ton of information online. He now knew every street in the city and how many shops were on each one.Carefully folding his sweaters, Ian placed them neatly into his suitcase, which was decorated with a cheerful Doraemon sticker.“I’m really looking forward to your travel guide, Ian!”“I’ve already finished most of it!” Ian was a serious little worker who never did things half-heartedly. If he said it was nearly done, he was probably putting on the finishing touches.I praised him warmly.“Jen, since the three of us are traveling together, we need to consider everyone’s preferences and suggestions.”“So, you want to get my input to finalize it?”“Exactly.”“Well, wherever you want to go is where I want to go. This trip, I’ll leave the planning to you.”Luke had work to handle in Shar

For the past few days, Luke has been picking me up and dropping me off at work.Reporters often linger outside One Entertainment, and it took a lot of effort for rumors about me and Luke to die down. I didn’t want them to resurface.Luke understood my concerns, so he always parked his car a block away from the company. Once he sent me a message, I’d grab Ian and head over.That evening, Luke prepared another full table of dishes for dinner.Ever since things thawed between us, I hadn’t said much during meals, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.“She’s already in Sharonville,” Luke said.“Hasn’t she been out of the country for years? Will she be safe there alone?”He was talking about Molly.The Walker family has been a prominent family in Sharonville for generations, with deep-rooted connections and influence. Mrs. Walker is a respected figure, and many people in Sharonville owe her favors. It wouldn’t be surprising if someone decided to teach Molly a lesson on

I watched the behind-the-scenes footage, and Mr. Lloyd looked great. After stepping out of the spotlight for a few years, his demeanor has become even more composed and sophisticated, perfectly matching the calm and collected surgeon he portrays in the show.“He’s as brilliant as ever,” Beatrice said, her eyes filled with admiration. “As long as the co-stars hold their ground, this show is bound to be a hit.”“He has an exceptional eye for picking scripts,” she added, her gaze glued to the screen.I didn’t interrupt her. Instead, I got up and went to the kitchen to check on Ian’s progress.For someone so young, Ian took everything seriously. Standing on a small stool to make up for his height, he carefully worked on brewing coffee, his movements precise and methodical.“Waiter Number One, Ian Lloyd, at your service. Your oat latte will be ready soon,” he announced cheekily.I laughed at his playful tone and played along. “Waiter Number Two will now deliver orange juice to Mr. Ian

While Beatrice chatted with Ian, I brought the gifts to the living room."You're too kind, Ms. Middleton.""Ian bought these with his pocket money."I winked at Ian.He caught on quickly, nodding.Beatrice warmly invited me to sit.Fresh fruit and two plates of nuts were on the coffee table.She placed a fruit bowl before me. "Yesterday's blueberries are fresh—crisp and sweet."The large blueberries were covered in bloom. I took one and made space for Beatrice."What would you like? Coffee or juice?""Fresh orange juice for me, and Jen likes oat milk latte," Ian said, playing with a doll, squishing its face into different shapes.Suddenly remembering our earlier conversation, he dropped the doll and ran to the kitchen. "I've learned lots from Jen. I can make juice and coffee!"Beatrice praised him: "How impressive!"She started toward the kitchen, concerned.I held her arm. "Ian's a quick learner. He does everything properly. We can trust him.""He gets along so well wit
