Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 473
Joey's secret...While making coffee, I speculated about what kind of secret Stephen was referring to.By the time I brought the coffee to Luke's office, Stephen had already left."Mr. York left?"They finished talking so quickly?"She's not my responsibility. I don't need to do things I don't want to do for her sake."In other words, Luke had refused Stephen's request.Joey's behavior was outrageous, and I had a very poor impression of her. I wouldn't say a word about Luke not visiting her in the hospital.I put the coffee on Luke's desk. "Stephen, who's invincible in court, has actually stumbled over Joey.""That invincibility is just a shell he wears. After countless battles, that shell isn't as hard as it once was."I didn't quite understand Luke's words and didn't ask further. I left the office.At lunch, I received a call from Stephen. He asked to meet me at the cafe downstairs.I knew why he wanted to see me and was reluctant. But he had helped me win a lawsuit befor

"She just wants to see Mr. Walker once.""And then what?" If she succeeds in seeing Luke this time, there will be a next time. "She's an adult and needs to take responsibility for her actions. We can't force Luke to do something he doesn't want to do because of her whims. Mr. York, you're close to Mr. Walker and know his family situation better than I do. If Ms. Parker can completely distance herself from Mr. Walker this time, it would be a safeguard for her future personal safety."Stephen remained silent."I'll keep Ms. Parker's mental illness a secret."After finishing my coffee, I told Stephen I was leaving."I'm glad you could say that."Not understanding his words, I paused and looked at Stephen.Stephen's lips twitched slightly. "You can go now. I'll sit here a bit longer."Before leaving Starbucks, I ordered a set meal for him....After that day, Joey was forcibly taken to surgery. When she woke up, she lay in bed, raging at Stephen and Annette.Stephen asked Annett

For Luke, this was a thorny issue. Visiting Joey would encourage her bad behavior, but not seeing her might push her towards Felfast.Jon's talent was unparalleled. If he joined Felfast, Hanque's future would look bleak.Luke remained silent for a long time, then said, "No one has asked for Jon's opinion.""Would Jon be able to express his own opinion?"Jon's situation was special. Except for AI, he couldn't communicate normally with others.Joey was Jon's guardian and could decide who he cooperated with."One should always have some hope."Luke's words were partly to comfort me. I wanted to ask if he had decided not to see Joey, but feared adding to his pressure."Whatever decision Mr. Walker makes, I'll firmly support you!""Does your statement have an expiration date?" Luke looked up, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipating."For now, no. As for the future, I can't be certain yet."At least during my time as his assistant, these words would remain valid!"I'll wor

Ever since I started training with Luke, my sleep quality at night had improved considerably. I was sleeping soundly when the phone woke me up. Still groggy, I asked, "Who did you say again?""Joey! Joey snuck out of the hospital!""Didn't she just have surgery? Doesn't she need someone to look after her?"Joey's car accident injuries were severe, requiring multiple surgeries. For her health, she couldn't leave the hospital for a while.This woman was causing trouble again!"Mr. York went back to the law firm to handle some work. Joey sent the caregiver away and left the hospital using a wheelchair.""Didn't the duty nurse stop her?""There was an emergency with a patient in the next room, so the nurse went to help. By the time the caregiver returned with Joey's late-night snack, she had already left the hospital. Mr. York has reported it to the police, and everyone's searching for her.""I'll go look too."Health is the foundation of everything. No matter how urgent the matte

Joey's recent mood swings made Stephen cautious about approaching her. He called out softly, "Joey."Joey seemed not to hear, showing no reaction.Stephen tried to soften his voice further, "Joey, shall we go back to the hospital?""I'm sorry for worrying you all," Joey said, her voice hoarse and weak, apologizing voluntarily.Her calmness made Stephen even more concerned. "Joey, if you're upset, you can let it out.""I'm fine, just homesick. I wanted to stay at home for a while." Joey turned with a smile, her tone apologetic. "Sorry everyone, for making you come out so late."Joey reached out to move her wheelchair, and Stephen quickly stepped forward to help."Thank you," Joey said.Her ordinary words of thanks made Stephen look at her twice.Penelope tugged at my sleeve.I scrutinized Joey.Joey's eyes were lowered; I couldn't see the emotion in them."I'll go back to the hospital with Stephen now. You all should go rest. When I'm discharged, I'll treat everyone to a mea

He only studied it for a short while before losing interest and returning to his AI work.In just half a month, he had already produced two complete design concepts and drafts.Seeing his work through video, Professor Killiney praised him repeatedly."You just got lucky. Looking at Jon's work, it's clear he's in a league of his own," Grandpa Shaw said, jabbing at Professor Killiney after seeing the admiration in his eyes and realizing Jon was a genius."To be able to meet Jon and see such excellent work in my lifetime, heaven has been kind to me," Professor Killiney replied.Grandpa Shaw didn't argue but huffed, "Give me back the painting and inkstone I gave you!""Wait while I go get them for you!""You're really returning them?"Grandpa Shaw was just joking with Professor Killiney. In the past, the professor wouldn't have bothered to respond.Grandpa Shaw was shocked and disbelieving when he saw Professor Killiney pick up the inkstone from the cabinet and the painting."So

I already knew that Grandpa Shaw’s memory decline was due to a severe shock, not Alzheimer's disease.Although his condition was irreversible, it was manageable. Luke had already arranged for Dr. Thompson to give Grandpa Shaw a comprehensive examination. After compiling all the test results, Dr. Thompson was now developing a treatment plan for Grandpa Shaw.My gaze was determined. "Grandpa will get better."At that moment, Annette brought over freshly made desserts and placed them in front of Penelope and Jon. "Eat while they're hot. See if you like them."“Your cooking always suits my taste. You've spoiled my palate," Penny said.Annette’s culinary skills were excellent. The rice pudding was sprinkled with raisins, looking especially tempting.She noticed me, and I greeted her."Next time you come here, Ms. Middleton, I'll make some for you too.""Thank you, Annette."Like Marianne, Annette was warm and loving towards the younger generation but knew her boundaries.

I couldn’t say no to Wendy. "Alright, I'll go to the comic convention with you!""I'll pick you up at 5 PM today. Be a good girl and wait for me at home, okay?""Got it!"I smiled helplessly and hung up the phone.Wendy loves anime and has collected many anime figurines. She's a regular at comic conventions both domestically and abroad. I've been to two with her but couldn't adapt to the atmosphere.Wendy noticed my discomfort and hadn't invited me for a long time.This time she invited me, it was probably because she was thinking about finding a suitable match for me again.If finding the right person was that easy, Wendy wouldn't still be looking for the ideal man to marry.There was still some time before 5 PM, so I continued to flip through the book Luke had returned last time, jotting down things I didn't understand in my notebook, planning to ask him for explanations when I get to work....At 5 PM, Wendy arrived at my home on time. She tossed me two shopping bags, "Swe

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
