The man's soft muffled voice came from above her head, and Laura realized she had caused Chris’s chin to turn red."Are you okay, I... I didn't mean to.""I'm fine." Chris also sat up from the bed and shook his head at Laura, "It doesn't matter, let’s get out of bed."Laura pursed her lips lightly. "Okay."She looked towards the side, there was a large empty space. It was probably that she had rolled over to Chris's side when she was asleep last night and kept on sleeping in his arms.Laura noticed that there was another red patch on Chris’s arm.She then said, "I was probably rolling all over the place when I was asleep and rolled to your side. Next time, you can push me away...""It doesn’t matter." Chris kept an indifferent face. "I slept heavy too, so I didn't feel anything either."He got out of bed, took his clothes, and went into the bathroom to get changed.Laura's clothes that she had washed last night were also dry, and when Chris came out of the bathroom, Laura also
The more Lewis defended Helen and retorted Madam Jacobs, the more Madam Jacobs's heart sank."So what if she bought them? This is my husband, I get to decide whoever is allowed to come and visit him. What? Are you going to piss me off in front of your father’s grave?""Grandma." Chris saw that Madam Jacobs's chest was constantly heaving up and down with anger, so he stepped forward and supported her with Laura.Chris's face sank, his cold eyes glaring straight at Lewis. "If you don't want to be a part of this cemetery, then I’d suggest you get the hell out of here right now!""You!"Lewis knew what Chris meant and was so angry that he wanted to go up and slap Chris, but when he met Chris's eyes, he stood still again and didn't dare to move.He couldn’t believe that his son was treating him in such a way.But today, he was not going to leave. He just wanted to show Helen and his son to his father!Just as Lewis was about to say something, a cool and sensual female voice came fro
Laura opened her mouth and was about to reply when she heard Sandra continue, "You should be Chris's wife. You’re quite good-looking and are worthy of Chris’s looks.""Thank you," said Laura."Uh-huh," Sandra answered and didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye to Madam Jacobs, she turned and left.Sir Jacobs had treated Sandra well back when he was alive, so every year on this day, she would come to pay her respects.Chris and Harry's eyes watched her receding figure until she walked out of the cemetery.Laura noticed Chris's gaze and walked to his side, gently squeezing his hand, but she didn't Chris to hold her hand with his.The person who came just now should be Chris's mother, but she didn’t look at Chris and Harry from the beginning to the end. Looking at Chris's eyes, Laura somehow felt that Chris wasn’t in a really good mood. She punched him gently in an attempt to give him some comfort.After Sandra left, Helen's face was still dark. She suddenly felt pain in he
She had already waited for 20 years. Now, she only had to wait for a few more months longer. When the child inside her womb was born, she didn't believe that Madam Jacobs would really be willing to let her grandson be homeless.Listening to Helen's words, Lewis breathed a sigh of relief.After all, in his heart, Helen had always been understanding, gentle, and considerate. That look just now had really taken him by surprise.But somehow, at this time, Sandra’s figure appeared in Lewis’s mind.It seemed that she would remain calm no matter what happened. Even when Lewis cheated on her and wanted to divorce her for Helen, Sandra would still remain very calm.After visiting Sir Jacobs, Laura and the others also walked out from the cemetery.In the car, Laura received a phone call from Linda, and after pressing the answer button, it was Shona's voice that came from the other end of the line."Hello, Laura.""Why are you calling me from Grandma's phone?" Laura frowned slightly."Yo
Shona obviously didn't expect Jennifer's mother to show up there, and looking at the clothes she was wearing, which were still pajamas, Shona was immediately dumbfounded."What's going on? Why are you here? What did you just say? What do you mean by your home?"Jennifer didn't answer, but instead looked at Shona, as well as the things that Linda and Laura were carrying in their hands."Luke's mom, why have you brought so many things with you? Are they for me?"Jennifer sounded like she was the owner of the house.Shona's face changed immediately."We're moving house, so it's normal for us to bring things over.""Moving house? Where are you guys moving to? Here? Oops, sorry in-laws, Jessica, her father, her grandmother and I just moved in yesterday. There are only four bedrooms here, one for Jessica and Luke, one for her father and me, one for her grandmother, and one for my grandson. There's probably no more room for you."Shona had a bad-tempered, and Jennifer's words immediat
Shona and Jennifer got into a fight because they were too angry.Now that they had calmed down, when she heard Jennifer’s words, Shona subconsciously wanted to shout no, but she only moved her lips and no sound came out. She turned towards Luke and said, "Luke, we’ve bought this house for you and paid in full. We did say before that we’re going to move in. Why did you let them move in?""Them? Who are you referring to, Mrs. Walker?"Without waiting for Luke to speak, Jessica suddenly raised her voice.She looked at Shona with anger on her face. "They are my parents and grandparent. What's wrong with them living in my house? My name is also on the property ownership certificate."Seeing her mother being beaten, Jessica no longer wanted to pretend to be weak in front of Shona.She had already got the house and car. Only the bride price was missing. With Luke around, she would definitely receive the bride price."My parents came to live in my house, what's wrong with that?""Exact
Just when Laura thought that Shona wouldn't help herself, she heard Shona's voice echo throughout the corridor.This made Laura a little surprised."Mom, Laura, let's go."By now, Shona had already seen the situation clearly.Her own son was clearly on the side of the Holland family, and now that Jessica was still pregnant with her grandson, Shona had to admit defeat.She was willing to give up her house as long as her son was happy.She carried her things and walked downstairs, Laura and Linda didn't say anything and followed her downstairs.This was the first time Laura had seen such a look of frustration on Shona's face.According to Shona's temperament, if it had been in the past, she would never let herself suffer, but now for the sake of her son and grandson, she compromised.Not knowing what came to mind, the corner of Laura's mouth hooked into a self-deprecating smile.As expected, Shona was able to compromise again and again for the sake of her son.The three of the
Chris was not only good-looking, but also talented as well. His good temper would cause anyone to like him after spending some time together.However, Laura knew that she and Chris were only in a contract marriage. The two of them would separate sooner or later and she shouldn't have other thoughts about their relationship.Laura quickly forced herself to put away the thoughts that she shouldn't have. However, in the near future, Chris would regret that he had signed the contract.After Laura and the others had left, Jessica looked at her mother's messy hair and the scars on her face. This caused Jessica to feel unhappy."Luke, you must give me an explanation for what happened today. Members of your family came and gave my mom and grandma a beating. Do you really think I don't have a temper?""I'm so sorry, Jessica. I didn't know that they would come today. Don't worry. I'll make things clear with them and they won't step foot into this house in the future. You'll be in charge of
The two children attracted Laura's attention and she just watched them play.The two children looked a little alike. The boy was obviously a little older than the girl. They were most likely brother and sister.The little girl noticed Laura's gaze, so she walked up to her. "Are you looking at us?"The little boy noticed his sister standing in front of two strangers. He then rushed over and stood between the girl, and Laura and Chris with an alarming look on his face."Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Laura squatted down so that she was the same height as the two children."I think I know what she wants, Owen," the little girl suddenly said with a serious face."What does she want?" The little boy's face softened when he looked at the little girl."She's looking at us, so she must be wanting to play with us!" the girl said innocently and then looked at Laura. "Am I right?"Laura squatted down and pinched the girl's face with a smile. "Yes, you are! I love children who are cute l
"Harry and I are planning to go to the beach after this, do you want to come with us?" Shannon asked Laura.After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Sure!"The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour after the meal before Chris came to pick them up."Have you finished?" Chris was asking everyone but his eyes were fixed on Laura."Yes, we have. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite nice," said Harry.He seemed to not have had enough as he placed some more food in his mouth."Do you want some more? We're in no rush anyway."Laura was worried that Harry didn't have enough to eat."No, I'm full. Let's head to the beach." The thought of going to the beach and enjoying the night view with Shannon made Harry very excited."What beach?" asked Chris. He was a little puzzled."Shannon just said that they were going to the beach and asked me if I wanted to join them. It felt like a good idea to me so I agreed. Do you want to come as well?" Laura turned to look
Lucas and Dawn waited for a while but their food still wasn't served."What's taking them so long?" mumbled Dawn."They're probably busy. We don't have any other plans tonight, there's no rush."Lucas picked up his phone and began playing a game. At the same time, he poured a glass of water for Dawn. "Here, have some water., it'll ease the hunger"Dawn was rendered speechless.She picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and then began looking around. That was when she noticed a table of a man and two women receiving their food as soon as they sat down.Seeing that, Dawn shouted, "Waitress!"A girl in her early 20s quickly walked over to her. "How may I help?""When will our food be served? We've already been waiting for a long time." Dawn was a little dissatisfied."I'm sorry, Miss. The kitchen is already preparing your dishes and the food will be served very soon," the waitress said apologetically."What do you mean by that? We've already been waiting for ages. Not only th
"Mr. Summers, Mr. Scholfield is waiting for you in the meeting room.""Okay."Nathan tidied his desk, picked up a file and headed towards the meeting room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.Lucas had a lazy temperament and his lips were curved into a mischievous smile. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Summers, you're three minutes late."Nathan was used to Lucas's behavior, so he just looked at Lucas indifferently. "Here's the contract. Check to see if you have any problems with it."Lucas sat up, took the contract, and flicked through it casually. "Where's the pen?""Aren't you going to read it more carefully?""I don't think that Mr. Summers is going to trick me, right?" asked Lucas. His voice was casual and his hand was getting ready to hold a pen.Nathan smiled, took out a pen from a drawer, and signed his name on the contract before passing it to Lucas.Lucas held the pen tightly in his hand as he signed his name on the
Nathan waited in the police station with Amelia.About an hour later, two police officers brought a man in black and wearing a baseball cap in front of the two of them.There were wounds on his face as well. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.One of the officers passed a delicate purse to Amelia. "Miss Summers, is this your purse?"Amelia's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's the purse I lost.""This is the person who stole your purse, Miss Summers. What do you want us to do with him?" the other officer pointed at the man and asked.After giving it some thought, Amelia said, "I've just checked my purse and nothing's missing. I'll let him off this time.""Looks like you're in luck. Quick, thank Miss Summers for her kindness.""Thank you so much, Miss Summers!""Alright, just try not to steal things in the future. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand.After the man in black was released, Amelia and Nathan headed back home as well.Amelia then sent a text to the man in black
"Get someone to find out why Amelia went to the police station today." Nathan gave the order."Yes, Mr. Summers. I'll get right on it." Dominic nodded and went out of the room.After giving it some thought, Nathan still felt that he should head to the police station in person to ask Amelia what she was doing.When Nathan arrived at the police station, Amelia had just finished talking to Jack."Amelia!" Nathan called out.Amelia stopped walking and turned around. She then looked at Nathan with a face full of surprise."Nathan, what are you doing here?" Amelia smiled and walked over to Nathan."I came to check if Jack had said anything else. I've also heard that you came to the police station instead of to work, so I thought I'd come to give you a lift on the way back."Amelia nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll head back home with you once I've found my purse.""What purse?" Nathan felt a little puzzled."I was going out with a few friends, but I lost my purse on my way. There we
"Please take a seat, Miss Summers. We've already sent men to look for your purse. We'll find it soon." One of the officers put on a big smile and tried to please Amelia when he found out that she was the daughter of the Summers family.Amelia just nodded and then went to sit on the chair.A while later Amelia asked the officer that just spoke to her, "I'm a little bored. Can I take a look around?""Sure! I can...""There's no need. I want to take a look around by myself. Notify me when you find my purse."With that said, Amelia left the reception room and began walking around the police station.She didn't get far before she saw Jack."I need to speak to Jack," Amelia said to the guard outside the cell."I'm sorry, Miss Summers. Mr. Summers gave us specific orders to keep an eye on him and not let anyone visit him."The guard stopped Amelia. His attitude was respectful, but wasn't letting her anywhere near Jack."Do you not know who I am?" Amelia became a little angry. She co
After losing her memories, Mrs. Summers couldn't remember anything. She didn't want to dwell on this matter since it was in the past.However, Alex wasn't going to let Nancy off that easily. "She must be punished. Otherwise, who knows what she would do next time!"Nancy had become more and more arrogant. Alex felt that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, she would do something even worse.After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Summers still didn't want to punish Nancy. "She's our child after all. We shouldn't criticize her too much. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Let her off this once for me."Nancy kept nodding her head after hearing Mrs. Summers' words. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me just this once."Seeing that Mrs. Summers was asking him to let Nancy off, Alex had no choice but to say, "Since your mom has forgiven you, then I'll let you off this once. But if there's a next time, I'll kick you out of the Summers family myself!"Nancy qu
Seeing the look on Nancy's face, Alex knew that she knew about the glass of water. His face immediately paled.Amelia quickly walked forward. "Dad, Nancy was just a little thoughtless, I think she didn't mean any harm."Her words made Alex even more infuriated. "She was thoughtless? Was that the reason to add sleeping pills to the water?"If it weren't for that glass of water, Alex wouldn't have been in a deep slumber and the things that followed wouldn't have happened.Nancy began shaking in fear. That was because she did add sleeping pills to the glass of water.She was planning on getting Chris to drink the water and then she would get someone to bring Chris to her room when he was asleep.That way, Chris would have to be responsible for her under the pressure of the Summers family.However, what Nancy didn't expect was that Alex drank the water instead of Chris.Amelia wasn't worried that Nancy would sell her out. That was because drugging Chris wasn't something appropriate
