When Laura walked out of the cafe, she stood there for a while before leaving.She didn't go to Zack's wife and the voice recording didn't exist either. She said that just now to deceive Emily.However, when Liam proposed to her that day, she didn't see Emily. This was why Laura didn't tell Emily about what happened. That was because Emily already knew.Laura didn't like being involved in other people's relationships. When the three of them had dinner together last time, even as an outsider, Laura could see some of the problems between Emily and Liam, not to mention Emily.However, Emily wasn't willing to face reality and wasn't willing to accept the truth.She was deeply in love with Liam.'Looks like relationships do hurt people,' thought Laura.She walked along the sidewalk and allowed the cold wind to blow past her.The Jacobs Group began making things difficult for the Johnson and Booth families. This allowed Sean's father to find out what foolish thing his son had done.
Mark thought that Chris was going to ask him to give him the piece of land for free. He didn't expect Chris to say that he was going to pay for the land.The price of the land wasn't cheap at all."What? You don't want the money?""No, it's not that. The Booth Group is willing to give you the land for free, Mr. Jacobs.""Let's not pretend anymore." Chris raised his head. He moved his fingers and Assistant Jacobs passed the document to Mark."Mr. Booth, please take a look at the contract. If there aren't any problems, then please sign it."Mark was at a loss for words.Chris had already prepared the contract.However, Mark knew that the land could help the Booth Group go up the ladder, but if the Jacobs Group targeted them, then the Booth Group would become bankrupt before they were able to finish the project.If the land could be used in exchange for the Booth Group's safety, then it was worth it.Besides, Chris was willing to buy the land, so the Booth Group didn't lose out
Two days later, Laura's convenience store was completely renovated.The layout was a little different than before. In order to show sincerity, Sean deliberately asked Harry to ask Chris about what Laura liked.The new style of the convenience store was designed according to Laura's preferences. Shannon liked it as well when she saw it.The previous goods had all been bought by Sean and the new goods that Laura had ordered had arrived as well.Shannon and Laura began filling the shelves together."Miss Walker, the new layout isn't bad at all. After what happened, the store not only got a new renovation, but our sales have rocketed as well," said Shannon.The goods that they had planned to sell in a month were all sold in one day.After hearing what Shannon had said, Laura couldn't help but smile. "Do you want to be locked in the interrogation room again?"It seemed that Shannon had forgotten how terrifying it was, to be locked in the interrogation room. She had even forgotten th
Laura and Chris had a flash marriage, so they didn't hold a wedding.Luke and Jessica planned on holding their wedding after the child was born.Laura found an excuse and said, "We're busy with work, so we don't plan on having a wedding for now.""That's not on. How can you have such a thought? If word got out, you're going to be a laughingstock," said Jill. "Back home, newlyweds would definitely need to hold a wedding. It's so that you can invite friends and family to celebrate. Not only that, I don't advise having a child before you're married. If word got out, outsiders would say that the female was an indecent person. If the female had really become pregnant then you should hold a wedding soon after. Otherwise, people would say things behind your backs if you hold a wedding after the child is born."Linda was more open-minded. She didn't like sticking her nose into Laura and Chris and Luke and Jessica's matters."Things are different nowadays. Let the youngsters do whatever th
To Jill, Chris was way better than Jessica.The more Jill looked at Chris, the more she liked him.She picked up the fork in her hand and placed some food on Chris's plate. "Here, I haven't used my fork yet. Have some of this.""Thank you, Grandaunt." Chris smiled.Seeing this, Jessica rolled her eyes disdainfully.Jessica could be said to be a snob. Ever since she heard from Luke that Chris's job was nothing like what Shona had said, with an annual income of over 200 thousand dollars and was just a security guard, her attitude towards Chris changed.She was very disdainful towards Chris now. She felt that his handsomeness was worth no money at all. They couldn't really live off his handsomeness, could they? Money was still more important than most things.Since a relative came to visit, Nicholas came back home as well.He brought a bottle of wine to the table and was about to pour some for Chris and Luke.Chris still had to drive in the afternoon, so he shook his head and ref
No one knew what Jessica had planned. Because she said that Luke could be arranged to work at the Jacobs Group, Shona became very happy. She even began to like Jessica again.After the meal, Jill found out that Laura had a convenience store. She wasn't someone who could sit and do nothing all day, so she wanted to visit Laura's store.She was a member of the Walker family, so Laura wouldn't refuse. However, she could only show the store to Jill on Monday when she went to work."Can I go and live with you for a few days, Laura? I'll go with you to your convenience store on Monday when you go to work," said Jill.Jessica was lying on the sofa and eating an apple. When she heard what Jill said, she rolled her eyes. "I think that's a good idea. It's been quite a long time since you last visited Empfield, right, Grandaunt? It's Laura's day off tomorrow, so she doesn't have to go to work. She can take you around shopping as well. If you're willing to come and live with me, Grandaunt, I c
"Huh?" Laura was dumbfounded. "Handwash them?"She had already put the clothes in the washing machine.The clothes were jumpers for the winter. They would take a lot of effort to wash by hand. The water would also be very cold during the winter."If you don't want to handwash the clothes, then you can take it out and I'll wash them.""It's alright, Grandaunt. The purpose of having a washing machine is to use it to wash our clothes. Otherwise, it would be a waste to just leave it there."Laura couldn't take it anymore. She knew that her grandaunt was trying to save her money, but her actions made Laura feel helpless.Chris just happened to walk over. When Laura saw Chris, she looked at him and asked for help with her eyes.Chris didn't know what happened, but he knew what Laura wanted."Grandaunt, we've got a lot of flowers on the balcony, but one of them has withered for no reason. Please can you come and take a look?"His words attracted Jill's attention. As expected, she wal
Laura felt that Chris had a point.Chris was quite tall and Laura wasn't able to reach his head.She had to kneel on the bed and get Chris to sit by the bed.Her slender hands ran through his dark hair. Laura was afraid that Chris would get a headache the next day if his hair was wet, so she was very careful when wiping his hair.A numb feeling came from Chris's head and gave him a special feeling.Laura didn't notice anything wrong. She realized that Chris's hair was very soft and the touch actually caused her to be unwilling to let go.It was a good thing that Chris had already been blowing his hair with the hairdryer for a while. Combined with Laura's actions, Chris's hair was just about dry when he went to bed.Chris felt that time flew when Laura was drying his hair with the towel. A couple of minutes felt like a couple of seconds to him.It was Sunday the following day, but Chris still had business to take care of, so he woke up very early the next morning.He was very g
