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
Laura felt that she would need to think of another excuse to convince Linda to move in with her.When they arrived outside the community that the Walker family lived in, Chris got out of the car with Laura. The two of them walked upstairs together.Seeing Laura and Chris, Linda asked in surprise, "Laura, Chris, what are you doing here?"Shona was unpacking. When she raised her head and saw Laura return, she felt puzzled. However, when she saw Chris, she was stunned.Laura walked up to Linda and said, "Grandma, Chris, and I had thought about it and felt that we still want you to move in with us. It's because we're planning on having a baby, but neither of us has any experience of the food that we should eat. We're normally busy with work as well, so we would normally order takeaways. I want Grandma to come and cook for us."If it had been any other excuse, Linda might not have agreed to move in with Laura, but after hearing that Laura was planning on having a baby, Linda's eyes lit
On the morning of the next day. When Laura and Chris got out of bed, Linda had already prepared breakfast and had come back from a morning walk.Elders would normally sleep early at night and wake up earlier in the morning.After the three of them finished breakfast, Linda decided to go to the convenience store with Laura, because Laura wouldn't come home for lunch.After arriving at the convenience store, Laura introduced Shannon to Linda.Shannon was a sweet girl and very talkative. She was able to get along with Madam Jacobs in the past and Linda was no exception.After being engaged in a conversation with Shannon for a while, Linda decided to go for a walk around the store. This was so that she could get used to the surroundings. She was also planning on seeing if there was an open market nearby for her to buy some groceries as she planned on cooking something that was nutritious for Laura during lunch.However, as soon as Linda walked to the door, she seemed to have remember
Luke was taken aback at first, but then said, "Don't try to change the subject. Weren't you the one who encouraged them to fight?""I was the one who encouraged them? Who do you think I am?" Laura laughed disdainfully. "Mom had bought this house for you in full payment. You promised them that they could move in and take care of your child for you. However, what did you just do? You didn't even tell us anything before you allowed the members of the Holland family to move in. Don't you know what kind of person Mom is? If it weren't for you, do you think she would just leave like that yesterday and give up the house?"The house was bought in full payment, but Shona didn't even get to move in. Instead, the Holland family moved in. The most important thing was that Luke and Jessica weren't even married yet. They didn't even get a marriage certificate yet."Because of you, Mom was willing to give the Holland family 40 thousand dollars as bride price, the car was under Jessica's name and J
"Hello, sir. There isn't anyone called Jessica Holland in our company," the receptionist said with a smile to Luke after checking on the computer.Luke was taken aback but still retorted, "That's not possible. My girlfriend works here.""I do apologize, sir, but there isn't anyone called Jessica Holland on our system.""Could there be some kind of mistake? Or did you miss something out?""I'm sorry, sir, but our system is the state of the art in Empfield. The problems you say doesn't exist."Luke walked out of the Jacobs Group. Somehow, Laura's words suddenly echoed in his mind. 'Think about the things you encounter. Don't be fooled by others.'In the evening.When Jessica arrived home and turned on the lights, she saw Luke sitting on the sofa and staring at her."Are you trying to scare me to death? Can't you tell me you're still in the living room?"Jessica patted her chest as she tried to calm herself down. She then placed the bag in her hand on the shelf and changed into a
The expression on Jessica's face froze when she heard Luke's words, but the next second, she quickly recovered. "It won't be long now. You know how big of a company the Jacobs Group is. It's not one of those small companies and there are strict procedures to be followed. It's not that easy to just get anyone to temporarily take my place. Don't worry. I'm already making preparations. I promise you, soon, you can go and take my place temporarily. By then, I'll be able to wait for the birth of our child without any worries.""Okay." Luke kissed Jessica's lips.Jessica quickly asked, "By the way, how did things go with your sister? Is she going to come and apologize to my mom or not?"When Jessica mentioned Laura, Luke's face darkened. He then said, "She wouldn't come. There's nothing I can do about that. She's married now and there's someone backing her up, so she doesn't have as a good temper as before. She barely listens to me now. However, I won't let her come anywhere near here in
