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
As soon as Laura finished speaking, Laura went back into her room with her bed cover and pillow.Chris was rendered speechless.Laura's reaction was nothing like what Chris had expected.'Shouldn't she give up moving around if she feels that it's a little too troublesome?' wondered Chris.Looking at the closed door, Chris reached out and massaged his temples.He suddenly had a sense of failure at that moment in time.Chris then wondered why it was so hard to sleep in the same room as his wife.For the next few days, Chris felt that something had changed between him and Laura.Laura would thank him if he passed something to her. Even when they were walking along the pavement, Laura was about to fall and Chris reached out to prevent her from falling, she would still avoid his hand.Such a situation made Chris feel very upset.In the office, the pile of documents in front of Chris made him feel very frustrated."Assistant Jacobs, I have something to ask you."Assistant Jacobs,
"Well, you're welcome, sir." Assistant laughed.Chris picked up his phone that was placed to one side. He looked at the screen and began choosing a present for Laura.However, he didn't know what Laura liked.Chris then looked at Assistant Jacobs and subconsciously wanted to ask him what should he give girls. However, when Chris thought of the fact that he used his "friend" as an excuse in this matter, it would probably be inconvenient for him to ask Assistant Jacobs such a question.In the end, Chris chose to shut his mouth.However, when Chris looked at Assistant Jacobs for the third time, Assistant Jacobs coughed and asked, "Mr. Jacobs, does your... friend need some advice on what to buy?"Chris stopped what he was doing when he heard that question and then raised his head to look at Assistant Jacobs.He squinted his eyes, but didn't say anything. Assistant Jacobs pretended to not know anything and chuckled.The two of them looked at each other for around 30 seconds before C
"We're married now, I think I'm still able to afford a meal."Laura didn't say anything else and put down her hands which were about to make the bank transfer to Chris.She turned around and looked out the window silently.Chris didn't understand what was wrong with Laura. They had never been in such a situation in the past.He felt a little uncomfortable deep down.Laura was feeling the same as well.She felt that over the past months, she had gradually lost herself in how nice Chris was.Chris was good-looking, had a great figure, and a great personality, and was a very talented person as well.It was hard not to fall in love with him after living with him for so long.If it weren't for the question Chris asked that night, Laura still wouldn't have woken up.The question that Chris asked about it being troublesome to move the pillow and bed cover around the house, made Laura come to realize that she and Chris were in a contract marriage.She still had just a bit over six m
Laura was slightly taken aback. She raised her head and looked at Chris, but Chris had an indifferent look on her face."These prawns are quite hard to peel. Girls are generally weaker than boys in terms of strength, so I'll peel the prawns for you."Laura lowered her head after hearing those words.'See? Chris is such a nice person. He peeled the prawn for me because I'm weak and not because of other reasons,' thought Laura.It was a good thing Assistant Jacobs wasn't around and didn't know what Laura was thinking.Otherwise, he would gobsmacked.It would be the first time that he had heard anyone say that Chris was a nice person. It would be very scary.Who didn't know that Chris was a ruthless, merciless, and bad-tempered person?When the two of them were almost finished, Chris took out the item that was in his pocket. He pretended to have suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way. This is for you."He passed the box with the necklace to Laura."What's this?"
Laura widened her eyes. She knew that Shannon had a boyfriend. Shannon had been knitting a scarf for her boyfriend as well."Aw, don't cry. What happened?" Laura picked up some tissue and passed it to Shannon so she could wipe her tears.Shannon cuddled in Laura's arms and kept on crying. "Miss Walker, that guy's just a playboy. He's actually hiring escorts and strippers behind my back."This boyfriend was one that Shannon had dated the longest. The two of them had been together for around six months.Shannon even had the thought of being married if this relationship was successful.However, she didn't expect something like this to happen."In the past, he would come and pick me up when I got off work. He would also take me home. But he recently told me that he was quite busy with work and would need to work overtime in the evening, so he wouldn't be able to come and pick me up from work. I believed him as well. Who would have thought that on my way back home from work last night
