Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride Chapter 620
"Is she worth it?" Wendy asked calmly."That's my business," Stephen replied."Too bad you're no longer of any value to me." With that, Wendy hung up.Stephen immediately called her back, but her phone was already turned off. He considered going to see Wendy in person but couldn’t bring himself to leave Joey, who was still in the emergency room.By the time I received a call from Wendy, it was already two in the morning. Her peaceful sleep had been disrupted by Stephen's call, and she couldn’t fall back asleep. I had been half-asleep when my phone rang, and after groggily saying hello, I was about to drift off again when Wendy started telling me about the situation with Stephen.Still drowsy, I mumbled, "Wendy, you always know how to predict things.""Being protected by someone capable—it must feel wonderful," Wendy remarked."What did you just say?""Did your dream have Luke in it?" she teased."No, but it did have you in it," I replied, still groggy.In fact, my dreams were

"It might not be your value that interests her," I said, leaving the implication hanging."Is her target Joey?" Stephen asked.I didn’t respond and continued walking. Stephen stood there for a long moment before finally leaving.When I entered Luke's yard, I called Wendy to let her know Stephen had come to see me.“Now we get to watch Joey's performance,” she said.“The real Jon has been dead for years. Aside from her, there’s no one left from that time. Even if she lies, we have no way to prove it.”“People give themselves away with small, involuntary gestures when they lie, no matter how composed they seem. I’ve read plenty of criminal psychology books and gained a lot of experience in my PR work. I can tell when someone’s lying!” Wendy sounded confident.“Wendy, you’re a genius!”“So, in your heart, I’m on the same level as Luke?”“You rank much higher than him in my book!”“Now that’s what I like to hear! I feel even more confident now. Wait for my good news!”After endi

"Why didn’t I think of that?"Every time I'm around Luke, it feels like my brain stops working! The sound of his steady footsteps makes me wish I could just disappear into a hole. After lingering on the steps for what felt like forever, I finally made my way to the gym.Luke acted as if nothing had happened, his expression calm and collected. His nonchalance put me more at ease, but I couldn’t shake the frustration I felt. Throughout the entire workout, I found myself unconsciously stealing glances at him. It was like I had a crush, like a teenage girl daydreaming about the boy she liked.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop myself. I was beginning to realize I had a tendency to become hopelessly smitten.Luke seemed to be in a good mood today, correcting my mistakes gently as we trained. But every time he came close, my body would freeze up. Sometimes, I’d even mix up my movements—completely flustered."The more you practice, the more it will become second nature," he said

"Hey, what are you staring at, babe?"I had been lost in thought, gazing at Wendy as she approached me. She waved her hand in front of my face to snap me out of it."Just admiring my dear Wendy," I replied with a smile.Wendy glanced over at Luke's car, raising an eyebrow. "So, Luke is here too?"I nodded.Luke rolled down the window and greeted Wendy, "I'll leave Joey in your capable hands, Miss Smith.""Now that I've got your blessing, Luke, I feel much better about this," Wendy grinned. "I'm off to meet Joey.""Mr. Walker, you have two important meetings this morning," I reminded Luke. "I'll contact Harry to prepare the necessary materials. I'll keep you updated on the situation with Joey." I subtly suggested that he could go ahead to his meetings."Don't worry, Luke. I’ll take good care of Jen," Wendy promised, throwing her arm over my shoulder."Thank you, Miss Smith."I blinked, realizing they had both treated me like I was invisible during their entire exchange. I open

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Wendy sneered.Joey and Jon were siblings who had lived together for years. Joey would have recognized her brother in an instant; there was no way she couldn’t tell.Wendy let out a short, cold laugh and made as if to leave."I realized he wasn’t my brother too late. By the time I went looking for Jon, I saw him being pulled out of a ditch by the police. I was just a kid, scared out of my mind, so I ran away with the boy I had found. When I finally went back, my brother’s body had already been taken away by the authorities," Joey explained, curling up in a ball on the bed, large tears rolling down her face."You knew the police had taken the body, but you didn’t go to the station to identify him?""When I was at the orphanage, the caretakers would scare us by saying that if we misbehaved, the police would take us away. I... I thought the police were bad guys. I was too afraid to go to them.""And when you grew up and knew better, it never occurred to yo

Joey struggled to speak, the next words too painful to admit. She hesitated for a long time, unable to explain herself clearly.Wendy broke the silence with a cold statement: "In a moment of desperation, you told them your brother had a rare blood type. His blood was valuable—worth money."Joey didn’t deny it. After a long pause, she finally spoke again. "I had no other choice at the time... I never meant to hurt my brother. Over the years, I’ve had nightmares. In them, my brother always asks me why I left him behind.""You can give the police descriptions of the people involved and help them catch the killers sooner.""Do you think they’ll really find them?""They will!"Joey let out a bitter laugh, followed by a deep sigh. "I’ve carried this secret for so many years. Now that I’ve said it out loud, I feel like a weight has been lifted.""You exposed your brother’s rare blood type back then to save yourself, and now, to save yourself again, you’ve revealed the truth about his d

Years ago, phone numbers didn’t have to be registered under real names, but after an investigation, it was discovered that the phone number belonged to Crystal Kingston.The police had already begun their investigation into Crystal. As the CEO of Kingston Industries, her arrest was captured by someone and quickly posted online, sparking widespread rumors. The news caused a public uproar, and Kingston Industries' stock took a hit.Among the three Kingston siblings, only Crystal worked at the company. The other two were idle and clueless when the company faced this crisis. Rivals and competitors seized the opportunity to strike at Kingston Industries.The company immediately began damage control. Reports about the Kingston family flooded the internet, with some insiders claiming that Crystal’s detainment was linked to a school bullying incident from years ago. With school bullying being a hot topic, this story gained serious traction online.During lunch, Luke called me into his offi

The rich, savory flavor of the lobster bisque was perfect, hitting all the right notes for my palate.“This chef’s skills are on par with Royal Chef,” I remarked. This place, along with the last hotel Luke and I visited, had just made it onto my list of must-try spots!“What’s the name of the restaurant?” I was eager to find out.“It hasn’t officially opened yet. I’ll let you know once they’ve set an opening date.”“Thank you, Mr. Walker.”Noticing that Luke’s bowl was empty, I poured him another serving of lobster bisque. The food was delicious, and I was so absorbed in eating that I didn’t notice Luke’s eyes lingering on me.After we finished lunch, I started to gather the dishes.Luke stopped me. “Someone will come to clean up.”I withdrew my hands. “Thank you for lunch, Mr. Walker. I’ll head back to work now.”Luke nodded lightly in response.As I left his office, I texted Wendy to tell her about a new restaurant in Johnsonville that rivals Royal Chef. I promised we’d go

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
