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
Thinking of what just happened, Shannon's face was still red from the embarrassment.Shannon was a cute-looking girl. Her skin was snow-white. This caused Laura to reach out and pinch her face."Not at all, Shannon. You didn't embarrass yourself.""Alas." Shannon sighed.Relationships could be very torturous. She decided to not be in any relationships in the future.Thinking back to her ex-boyfriends, she found out that none of them lasted for long. They would break up for all kinds of reasons.However, most of her ex-boyfriends would break up with her after around 2 weeks. This one lasted for six months and Shannon had put in a lot of effort as well.She had even knitted a scarf for her most recent boyfriend.Thinking back to what she had done, she felt that it was all for nothing."You should go find something to do to get your mind off it. You will need a distraction."The more Shannon thought about her boyfriend, the sadder she would become."Okay." Shannon nodded.She
The stripper smiled. "Young lady, you're so naive. All men think about is sex. The two of you have been dating for so long, but you don't even let him kiss you. Wouldn't it be normal for him to go to someone else to satisfy his desires?"Shannon had been in a couple of relationships but she still had her first kiss."So that's the reason he came to you?"There was a hint of disbelief in Shannon's eyes.She was a very conservative person. She felt that her first kiss and virginity should all be kept until after she was married. The most she would do was to hold hands with her boyfriend before they were married.Shannon would tell her boyfriend about such requests as soon as she began dating her most recent boyfriend. He had accepted the requests as well. He told Shannon that he liked her and would respect her decision.When Shannon looked at the earnest look on the guy's face, she was very touched.She didn't expect things to end up like this.Shannon took a deep breath.At fir
The man who grabbed Shannon was smashed in the head by Harry and immediately felt dizzy.Seeing this, Shannon raised her leg and kicked the man. She then broke free from his grip. She wanted to run towards Harry, but her ponytail was grabbed by the man behind her."Ouch!" Shannon screamed in pain."Fuck, where did this bastard come from? How dare he hit me? I'll make sure you won't walk out of here alive!" the middle-aged man shouted in anger.A group of people suddenly stood up around them.Harry was wearing black clothes. His silver hair shone under the lights.He took a deep breath as his eyes sharpened. At that moment, he looked a little like Chris.Seeing the people around them, Shannon felt scared.Tears welled up in her eyes.She didn't want others to get hurt because of her."You should run! Don't worry about me!"There were too many people around them. Shannon felt that Harry was way outnumbered."Well, do you think you're the only one who can call for help?"Harr
