Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 382
Jon said, "Professor Killiney."Professor Killiney nodded and said, "I had to rush my trip to Johnsonville, so I haven't had time to prepare any lessons. I will let you know later about the specific class times and locations.""Understood, Professor," Penelope responded.Karl, clearly tired and known for taking afternoon naps, suggested, "Now that you have your students, shouldn't we head back to the hotel?"Killiney, eager to discuss the models with Jon, noticed Karl's fatigue and decided not to pursue the idea. Instead, he asked for Penelope's contact information.Despite his seemingly distant demeanor, Professor Killiney was actually very approachable. His actions impressed me, and my opinion of him soared.Penelope had been busy the past couple of days and hadn't contacted Jon. Because he was very attached to her, she stayed behind to keep him company after seeing us out.Luke and I accompanied Karl and Professor Killiney to their hotel.Concerned that Karl might get lost d

Was he asking for my opinion?He had already bought it. Would he return it if I said it wasn't suitable?Afraid of damaging the wrapping, I didn't touch the gift. "This is a gift for someone else, Mr. Walker. I shouldn't open it.""It's for you," he said."Mr. Walker, I can't accept a reward I haven't earned."I pushed the gift box towards Luke."You played a crucial role in our Brookshire trip. The company always recognizes merit. You've earned this," Luke said, maintaining his usual elegance while eating. "It's nothing expensive, so don't feel burdened.""If you insist, I won't refuse then."After thanking Luke, I put the gift in my bag as I left after breakfast.Once in the car, I took out the gift and examined it closely. The box had no brand logo.I opened it to find a blue diamond bracelet with a unique design that caught my eye.The bracelet had six one-centimeter blue diamonds, each surrounded by six smaller blue diamonds. The stones were high quality, suitable for b

Despite their quick reaction, I still managed to catch snippets of their conversation.JL Capital had a great work atmosphere with a high level of tolerance.Since I joined, other companies in Greenfield Tower had been abuzz with rumors about Luke and me. However, JL Capital seemed immune to the gossip, as if my role as Luke's assistant was completely natural.Once, while leaving work with Sarah from reception, we overheard two young women discussing Luke and me.Sarah coughed loudly and said, "Mr. Walker is not like some CEOs who take advantage of female employees! These gossips from that incompetent company are just as dirty-minded as their boss!"Though she didn't mention names, the two women, realizing they were in the wrong, quickly left without defending themselves.Sarah comforted me, saying, "Don't take their words to heart. Mr. Walker is always professional and has no interest in office romance. Your appointment as his assistant is a testament to your exceptional abiliti

When I saw the content of the magazine, I was furious. I stood by the supermarket shelf for a long time, trying to calm down.Joey intentionally brought up old wounds, shamelessly spreading my painful past. She was causing me even more pain, and the more upset I got, the more she seemed to enjoy it.I put my phone back in my bag, giving up on my plan to call her, and went back to the office.Joey thought she had caused me trouble and was waiting for the drama to unfold, but she didn't expect that the latest issue of the magazine would be accused of plagiarizing content from other publications.Initially, the magazine strongly denied the accusations, but later they had to admit that two articles had indeed been plagiarized when presented with solid evidence.The magazine faced public outrage and had to recall the issues and promise compensation to consumers in order to salvage their reputation.When I saw the recall notice from First Media, I felt somewhat relieved as I imagined J

"Your morals are already questionable without my help to smear your reputation,” I retorted. Joey was mean. "If you need a PR firm, Ms. Parker, I can recommend one.""You and Wendy are cut from the same cloth. Do you think I would fall for your trick?" Joey's voice was furious. "Ms. Middleton, you constantly target me because you like Luke, don't you? Have you looked in the mirror? You're not worthy! A divorced woman who has slept with some nameless man shouldn't be coveting what doesn't belong to her!"Joey's words made me want to slap her. I lowered the car window for some air, gripped my phone tightly, and replied slowly, "Regardless of whether I am worthy of him or not, as his assistant, I am the woman who spends the most time by his side.""You..."I quickly hung up before Joey could finish.Imagining Joey on the other end, ready to throw her phone in anger, I couldn't help but smile.Just as I started the car to head home, I caught a glimpse of a tall figure standing outsid

"Has this happened before?" I asked, filled with worry.In the past, when Jon discovered that Joey had taken his designs without permission, he had been upset and searched frantically, but he hadn't broken anything."Never. I asked Annette, and she said Jon's emotions have never been this volatile. I'm trying my best to calm him down, but there's been no significant improvement."I had never dealt with a situation like this. I was about to pull over and search online for advice when Luke spoke up, "Let's go to Johnsonville Hospital. I'll contact a doctor.""Okay!"We hadn't spent much time with Jon. He usually clung to Penelope, and if even she couldn't calm him, Luke and I stood no chance.Bringing in a doctor seemed like the best option right now.I agreed and turned the car around at the next intersection."Don't rush. Drive slowly," Luke said.I had been flooring the accelerator, and the car was speeding up. Luke glanced at the dashboard and reminded me.Only then did I r

"Perhaps he has never been triggered before. If this kind of situation is not promptly addressed, his condition could significantly worsen.""Should we find a specialist?" I asked, feeling worried and disappointed that this was happening just after we had found Jon a suitable mentor."Are you questioning my expertise?" Dr. Thomson challenged."Are you a specialist in this field, Dr. Thomson?""Specialist? You are underestimating me! I am a medical all-rounder genius!"Dr. Thomson spoke with his chest puffed out, exuding confidence in his abilities.My mood lifted, seeing a glimmer of hope. "With Dr. Thomson here, I am sure Jon's condition will improve quickly!""Now that is what I like to hear!" Eric grinned. "But it depends on the specific situation. I cannot guarantee a cure."Me: ...His earlier expression suggested that no medical mystery could stump him, but in the blink of an eye, he was dampening my expectations!The higher the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Be quick," Luke instructed Dr. Thomson, getting ready to approach Jon. People in a frenzy often have much greater strength than usual."I'll help you!" I urgently said."You stay right there and don't move!"Luke swiftly turned back, his voice commanding. His piercing gaze startled me, and I immediately dropped my raised foot, rooted in place. "But how can you handle him alone?"Jon looked thin and weak, but he was still a young man, and it would be difficult for Luke to restrain him in his frenzied state."I can help," Penelope offered, but Professor Killiney held her back."I'm not so old that I'll let a young girl charge in first," he said."Thank you, Professor!" Penelope quickly expressed her gratitude."He's my student. It's my responsibility," Professor Killiney said as he walked towards Jon.Luke and I exchanged glances at his words, and I felt somewhat reassured.Professor Killiney and Luke reached Jon almost simultaneously, their movements perfectly synchronized.

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
