Chris passed the lamp to Laura. When he looked at the white and slender arm in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow. Laura was a little scared at first, but when she remembered that Chris was outside, and that she was able to hear the sound from his phone, Laura felt much more relaxed.She quickly finished having a shower, got changed and then came out of the bathroom."Quick tuck yourself in bed. I'll go see what's going on."Chris looked at the pajamas that Laura was wearing and could see that it was quite thin."Okay." Laura nodded and walked towards the bedroom. However, she still said subconsciously, "Come back soon."The room was pitch black and empty. Laura still felt a little scared and didn't want to stay by herself in the house."Okay. I'll be back very soon."Chris only left when he saw Laura entering her bedroom.Just like what he had said, Chris returned very quickly."One of the units was using too much power and burned the wires. This caused our whole buil
Laura was taken aback for an instant. It was obvious that she didn't expect Chris to come under the bed cover with her.It was probably because of the difference between men and women. Laura immediately felt it was warmer as soon as Chris came under the bed cover.Laura wasn't a pretentious person. In the past, when she lived at Madam Jacobs' house, because Madam Jacobs was present, she had to sleep in the same room as Chris as well. Back then, there was only one bed cover in the room and she would share it with Chris as well."Okay, you can warm the bed for me.""Okay." Chris nodded. He looked at his phone and realized that he was getting late. He then reminded Laura, "You can sleep now. I'll wait for you to fall asleep before I go.""Okay."Laura was tired as well, so she closed her eyes.She had planned on taking a nap for now and would become fully relaxed after Chris was gone. However, when she closed her eyes and smelled the faint scent of Chris, she somehow fell into a de
"How come?" Madam Jacobs' attention was immediately distracted."He's been quite close to a girl recently." Chris didn't hesitate to sell his brother out.When Madam Jacobs heard those words, her eyes lit up. She then quickly asked, "Who is it?"She wondered if she was going to have another granddaughter-in-law.Chris furrowed his brows and thought about it before saying, "I think she's called Shannon.""Shannon... I think I've heard this name somewhere." Madam Jacobs thought about it and said in surprise, "Is she the staff at Laura's convenience store?""Yes, that's right.""I think that girl's quite cute." Madam Jacobs' eyes lit up even more. "Well, well, well. I was wondering when Harry was going to bring home a wife. I need to give him a call and find out what's going on."Madam Jacobs' biggest wish was to see both Chris and Harry get married and give birth to a child.Chris was already married. He was unwilling at first, when Madam Jacobs told him to marry Laura, but from
"Ahem." Chris clenched one of his fists and coughed lightly. "Well, Mr. Jacobs gave it to me. There isn't a lot.""Mr. Jacobs treats you really well!" Laura exclaimed.She felt that the CEO of such a large company was very kind.Chris glanced at one of the drawers of the table. There were countless boxes of different kinds of expensive tea inside."How about some food? I'm a little hungry." Chris stood up from the sofa and changed the subject.As expected, Laura's attention was no longer on the tea. She nodded and said, "The food's ready. We can eat now."Just as the two of them were eating, Laura's phone began to vibrate on the table. Laura picked it up and looked at the screen. It was a video chat invite on WhatsApp from Shannon.Laura pressed the accept button and then saw a couple of kittens."What are you doing right now, Miss Walker?""I'm having breakfast at the moment. Why are there so many kittens?"The kittens were all Ragdolls. This caused Laura's eyes to light up.
"Grandma."A deep voice sounded near the bushes.Madam Jacobs was startled by Chris's voice. "Did you have to scare me like that?""Why are you here, Grandma?""Ahem." Madam Jacobs coughed awkwardly. "Nothing. I was just taking a walk."Madam Jacobs went to find Harry, but he was unwilling to tell her about what happened between him and Shannon. There was nothing Madam Jacobs could do, but she was still very curious. She wanted to find out what happened. Therefore, she used the Jacobs family's connections to find out where Shannon lived.She wanted to take a walk around Shannon's house to see if she could "coincidentally" bump into Shannon."Why are you here?"Madam Jacobs had just arrived and was immediately spotted by Harry. This caused her to not see Laura head up the stairs.Chris told Madam Jacobs about the reason that he was there. When Madam Jacobs heard what Chris had said, her eyes lit up."Kittens? That's a pretty good idea. This means that she's a very kind girl."
It was a good thing that Laura didn't know what Chris was thinking. Otherwise, she would definitely laugh at him for being childish."It's behaving really well and it's still really small. It won't hurt me.""We never know. Who knows what it's thinking."It seemed that the kitten understood what Chris said. It actually raised its head and looked in Chris's direction.Laura couldn't convince Chris, so she could only agree to place the nest in the living room.The Ragdoll had grey fur. Laura was about to give it a name. After giving it some thought, she said, "Let's call it Grey. It's a name that could be remembered easily."Laura was really satisfied with the name."Well, it's not so bad," said Chris.Chris felt that he had to dote on his wife, so he would agree to whatever Laura said.Laura began chuckling.When Laura went to work, she decided to take Grey with her. This was because no one would be home all day and Grey was still very little, so Laura felt a little worried.
Laura raised her head. That was when she saw a woman who looked a lot like Chris.It was Sandra, Chris's biological mother.She was in her middle ages, but maintained a young look. She had a very elegant temperament and was also wearing a pair of high heels, which made her look like she was in good spirits as well.Laura obviously didn't expect to be able to bump into Sandra and was taken aback.Sandra looked at Laura and said, "You work here?"Laura nodded.Sandra didn't say anything else. She just walked over to the shelves to choose what she came here for.Laura looked in the direction that Sandra had gone, seeing that Sandra was walking towards the drinks section, she guessed that Sandra wanted to buy some water."We have a water dispenser and disposable cups in the store if you just want some water," said Laura. "I can get you a hot drink as well."It was the winter, so Laura felt that offering a hot drink would be more appropriate.Sandra hesitated and said, "I'm alrigh
Helen was unsatisfied. She began to feel impatient as she looked at Laura. However, she didn't show her impatience. "Laura, I'm almost due. Lewis and I are going through quite a difficult time. Please can you talk to Chris, for the child in my womb? I'm not asking you to do too much, I'm just asking if you would just mention this to Chris."Helen was a person with many faces. Otherwise, she wouldn't have pretended to be weak and innocent to get Lewis to fall in love with her.She was now even using the word "please" and brought up the child in her womb.If it had been someone else, then others would definitely agree to help after seeing Helen's pitiful look. However, Laura wouldn't.She pursed her lips and said, "I don't know why Mr. Jacobs was suspended, but I know he must have done something wrong. Chris is also an employee and not the boss. If you want Mr. Jacobs to be able to go back to work, you can speak to the CEO of the Jacobs Group. I won't force Chris to do anything. Also
