Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 17 Goodnight Mr. Jacobs
Chris was confused at first, but he soon realized what Laura was talking about.He realized that Laura thought that he was unhappy because his business didn't go as planned.Chris pursed his lips. He seemed to want to say something to Laura, but Laura's voice sounded again. "Goodnight, Mr. Jacobs."This caused Chris to swallow the words he was about to say. He then said, "Goodnight."On the morning of the next day.Laura yawned and rubbed her eyes as she got out of bed. Coincidentally, Chris had just returned from his morning jog.He was wearing a vest. This meant that his arms were exposed and they displayed perfectly built muscles.There was sweat on his handsome face as well. Chris then lifted one of his hands to ruffle his hair. He took a set of fresh clothes and rushed to the bathroom.Laura saw what he was doing and asked, "What do you want for breakfast? I've made some oat porridge.""Oat porridge is fine." Chris nodded his head.When he came out of the bathroom, Laura

Jessica's gaze immediately landed on Chris's face. When she saw his cold face, Jessica could feel her heart had skipped a beat.When Jessica was secretly sizing Chris up and down, Chris glanced at her as well.At that moment, he was sure that he had never seen this person at work before."Hello, Jessica. I'm Laura." Laura greeted Jessica politely with a friendly smile."He, Laura. Luke has told me a lot about you." Jessica quickly moved her gaze from Chris and then let out a warm smile.She then pretended to unintentionally look at Chris. "May I ask who is this?""This is my husband." Laura introduced Chris to Jessica.Jessica reached out her hand at Chris in an attempt to shake his hand, but Chris pretended not to see it. He just nodded his head indifferently. This made Jessica feel a little awkward.Shona looked at the bags that Laura was holding. When she saw so many bags, she said unhappily, "There are lots of clothes at home. Why are you buying new ones? Don't you know to
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 19 Reason
Moreover, Laura and Chris were only in a contract marriage.Laura took a deep breath, but Shona was infuriated by Laura's words.'She's such a money waster!' Shona cursed inwardly.She wanted to continue to scold Laura, but didn't dare to try to hit her again.However, before Shona could say anything, Jessica grabbed her hand. "Mrs. Walker, I think we should go. There are too many people watching..."There were a lot of people looking at them. Jessica felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to stay any longer.Shona didn't want to leave just like that, but Jessica had spoken. Jessica was her future daughter-in-law, so she had to listen to Jessica."Just you wait!" Shone glared at Laura and then held Jessica's hand as she left.Jessica smiled apologetically at Laura.After leaving the shopping center, Jessica pretended to say unintentionally to Shona, "Mrs. Walker, I think it's better to speak reasonably with Laura. She ignored your words when you were being too domineering o
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 20 Thrown Away
Chris nodded without hesitation.The number he gave Laura last time was the one he gave outsiders. The number this time was his own private number.After Chris left the house, Laura saved the new number. There was another hour before the furniture would arrive. Laura went for a nap on the bed.In the afternoon, when Laura woke up, the delivery man arrived as well."Miss Walker, is the water vending alright here?" A worker placed the water vending against a wall before he reached out a hand to wipe the sweat off his face."That's fine, thank you." Laura thanked the worker politely and passed a couple of pieces of tissue over.When all the furniture were in place, Laura passed a glass of water to each of the workers.After seeing the workers off, Laura turned and looked inside the house. The house didn't look empty anymore and felt much warmer.In the evening, Laura sent Chris a text asking him if he was coming home for dinner or not.Chris immediately replied that he had some w
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 21 Compromise
Shona looked at Laura expectantly.Laura clenched her fist which was under the table. "Okay, I'll go to the hospital and pay the money.""There's no need. I know you're busy normally. You can just give me the money and I'll go to the hospital to pay for the medication fees." Shona forced herself to calm down after hearing Laura's reply.She was overjoyed that the plan Jessica suggested worked. She knew that as long as she mentioned Laura's grandmother, Laura would come to a compromise."I'll take a day off tomorrow to go to the hospital to make the payment." Laura looked at Shona straight in the eyes.She knew that Shona's attitude towards her tonight was fake. After Laura refused to give Shona the money, Shona felt that the money that belonged to her disappeared. Therefore, she could no longer remain calm anymore. "What's the meaning of that, Laura? Do you feel that I will keep the money for myself?""I'm planning on paying Grandma a visit tomorrow. I can just pay the medical bi
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 22 Borrowing Money
Laura took a deep breath. Just when she was about to say something, Shona had already hung up.Her grip on her phone slowly tightened. Around 10 minutes later, she got out of bed.No one was in the living room. Laura walked to the room next door and knocked on the door.The door was opened from the inside. Chris was standing at the door in his pajamas. He seemed to have just washed his hair. His hair was still wet."What's wrong?" Chris lowered his head and looked at the woman in front of him."I..." Laura suddenly felt really embarrassed. "I... Can I borrow some money from you?"After asking that question, Laura didn't even have the guts to look at Chris.After all, the marriage between them was only a contract marriage. The two of them had only known each other for a week and she was already borrowing money from him.When Chris heard the question, his eyes turned cold immediately.'Looks like she already can't wait to reveal her true self. She's already asking me for money,'
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 23 For Chris
"Do you know what you're saying?" Nicholas was obviously a little mad.Shona knew that she had gone a little too far. Nicholas still cared quite a lot about his mother. "Alright, alright. I'm only saying. I was the one paying for all the medical bills in the past. I even went to take care of her for some time. I also hired a care worker. Don't worry. I'm busy with Luke's matters lately. After everything is set for Luke and Jessica, I'll go to the hospital every day to take care of Mom."After hearing those words, Nicholas's face softened. "You should treat Laura better in the future."Shona couldn't help but pout her lips. "I know, I know. When have I not treated her well..."On the morning of the next day. Laura headed off to work on her electric scooter with Chris sitting in the back seat."Good morning, Miss Walker." Shannon waved at Laura and greeted her with a big smile on her face."Morning." Laura also greeted Shannon."Miss Walker, I've bought breakfast, would you like s
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 24 Talking Back
Nicholas clenched his fists.Shona actually began sobbing. "It's all our fault. We're just useless. We don't even have enough money for our mother's treatment..."Nicholas patted Shona's shoulder.The attending doctor sighed once again. He turned around and walked towards the leader of the medical team. "Sorry for all this trouble, Dr. Shaw.""It's alright." Dr. Shaw wasn't really bothered.The medical team was allocated by Chris, so they would need to inform him of what just happened.Just when Dr. Shaw took out his phone and was about to leave. At that moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded. "Wait..."Laura was full of sweat.There were too many people waiting for the elevator, the waiting time was too long. Therefore, Laura took the stairs."Wait, please don't leave. We agree with the treatment. I'll pay for the medical fees." Laura's eyes were a little red. Her chest heaved up and down."Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at work?" Shona's face changed when she

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
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 589 The Scholfield Family
"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
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 587 Investigating Amelia
"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
