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
Linda's thought was exactly what Jill was thinking. Jill was indeed unwilling to wear something so expensive and was planning on treasuring it.Jill felt a little embarrassed after her thoughts were exposed by Linda. "Alright, alright. I'll wear it."Laura and Linda looked at each other and then smiled.On the morning of the next day. Laura took Linda and Jill to the convenience store.It was probably the two ladies were getting old, so they would like to get worried about a lot of things. Jill was curious about the place that Laura worked at. That was why she kept on saying that she wanted to come and take a look."Oh! Have you redecorated your store, Laura?"Linda realized that Laura's store looked different this time compared to when she came over last time.A few days ago, Laura's store was wrecked and she was locked in an interrogation room at the police station. She didn't want Linda to be worried, so she didn't tell Linda.Therefore, she found an excuse to keep what actu
As Laura said those words, she reached for her phone.Seeing what she was doing, Lewis widened his eyes. "What are you doing? I'm warning you, don't tell Chris that I came looking for you."Lewis disliked Laura even more, because she was about to tell Chris about what he was doing."I'm your father. So what if I asked you for money? Don't you know filial piety? I'm not asking for much, just 400 thousand dollars.""Huh?" Laura couldn't believe her ears.Looking at the expression on Laura's face, Lewis felt a little confused.'Does this girl not have 400 thousand dollars? Did I ask for too much?' wondered Lewis."Then... how about 200 thousand dollars?" he asked.Lewis's infuriated Laura and caused her to laugh angrily.All the money she had in total was around 8,000 dollars and Lewis came to her and asked for hundreds of thousands of dollars. She couldn't believe how rich Lewis thought she was."I don't have that much money. I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Please don't
Jill's continuous dissing made Lewis feel very embarrassed."Who the hell are you? Why are you sticking your nose into my business?" asked Lewis."I'm Laura's grandaunt and that makes me your elder as well," replied Jill.Her words rendered Lewis speechless."Look at you, you don't care about youngsters nowadays at all. They need to work and the money they save up would need to be used for their child in the future. They would need to buy diapers and other necessities and you actually asked youngsters to give you money? That's just not on! If you're getting old and can't work anymore, Laura and Chris can take care of you. That's alright. But you're perfectly fine at the moment and you come and ask your daughter-in-law for money? You'll be laughed at if people back in our family see you like this. My friends would make you feel so embarrassed that you wish you weren't born.""I didn't ask Laura to give me money. I was just borrowing money from her...""Borrowing? Are you going to
After Lewis had left the convenience store, Jill still cursed him for a while."My god, Laura. I can't believe that's your father-in-law. He abandoned his wife and brought his mistress back home. Now, he even wants you to give him money. Tut, tut, tut." Jill held a bottle of water in her hand and said, "It's a good thing that Chris treats you well. It's also good to hear that you're not living with your father-in-law as well."Laura nodded and said, "I know. I don't come across him that much anyway."No one would have expected Lewis to suddenly come to the convenience store and ask for Laura to give him any money. Laura was also shocked when it happened.However, she didn't plan on telling Chris this matter.After all, it wasn't good news. She felt that if she told him, she would only make him frustrated.After knowing what the place Laura worked looked like, Jill and Linda packed their luggage and were planning on moving back to the Walker family's residence.Laura wanted them
