Laura couldn't tell what exactly was strange about the two people, but she could just feel that they were strange."I don't know." Chris shook his head calmly. "It's probably because they're quite busy, so they're quite tired.""Probably."The Jacobs Group was a big company, so Laura felt that people would definitely be very busy. She had heard Chris call the two people "Mr. Leech" and "Mr. Williamson", so she felt that the two people were probably senior executives. Therefore, they would be under even more pressure."You're wounded at the moment, don't put yourself under too much pressure. Neither should you push yourself too much."Chris knew Laura was worried about him, so he smiled. "Okay."After the meal, Laura held Chris's hand and walked him back to the office on the top floor before leaving.For the next few days, Laura was worried that Chris would forget to have lunch again, so she would prepare lunch in the convenience store and take it to Chris. She did this until Sat
After Laura and Chris left the hospital, Laura decided to treat Chris to dinner in order to celebrate the fact that Chris's face wasn't scarred.During dinner, Laura noticed that Chris would occasionally look at her forehead. She then asked teasingly, "What's up? Do you think I look ugly now?""No." Chris frowned. "Why would I think you look ugly?"Chris had the same thought as Laura. He didn't want Laura to be scarred either.He suggested that Laura go to the beauty center that Harry had contacted, but Laura refused."My scar is faint. It's no big deal. No one will be able to see it if I cover it with my hair," said Laura. "I've never been scarred before, so this scar will probably disappear soon as well."Some scars would fade with time and disappear in the end. Laura felt that the scar on her forehead would probably disappear with time as well."By the way, how are Liam and Emily?"Laura hadn't bothered dealing with the two of them before, because she knew that Chris had bee
Chris accepted the money and didn't try to return it to Laura.On the morning of the next. After Laura and Chris finished breakfast, they were about to head out.Before they headed out, Chris looked at Laura, who was empty-handed, and asked, "Aren't you going to bring a bag with you?""What bag? Aren't we coming back after we buy the car?" Laura felt that she wouldn't need to bring a bag with her."I'd suggest you bring one. I might need to ask you to carry some things for me."Laura felt a little puzzled, but still listened to Chris and brought a bag with her.After arriving at the car dealer, a salesperson walked up to them and asked them what kind of car they were planning to buy.Chris gave the salesperson a budget of 40 thousand dollars and then the two of them followed the salesperson around."I want the top configuration and please change the color of the car to pink."The original color of the car was black.When Laura heard Chris's words, she widened her eyes in shoc
When Laura walked past Sir Wayne, he said to Laura, "Can't you see that I'm here? Should you say hello to me? Don't you know any manners?"It was obvious that Sir Wayne was looking for trouble. Chris stopped walking.He held Laura's hand and squinted his eyes as he looked at Sir Wayne."Granduncle, have you been reading lately?"Sir Wayne was a little taken aback by Chris's question. He didn't know what Chris was trying to say."No.""Then I'd suggest you read more books, Granduncle."With that said, Chris headed into the house whilst holding Laura's hand.Looking at Laura and Chris's receding figures, Sir Wayne came back to his senses and said angrily, "Is that bastard telling me to read more books and mind my own business?"Harry also came to Madam Jacobs' house today.Not long after Laura and Chris arrived, Harry also came through the door.Sir Wayne was infuriated, so when he saw Harry, he waved his hand. "Harry, come over here.""What is it, Granduncle?" Harry walked o
"I think her birthday's coming up soon," Laura told Harry Shannon's birthday.It was the New Year's Eve.Harry made a note of that on his phone. He then asked Laura, "Laura, do you know any of Shannon's hobbies? What does Shannon like to eat? What does she normally do when she's not working?"Laura moved her lips, but before she could say anything, Harry added, "Please Laura, tell me more about Shannon. I want to know her more in order to pursue her."Laura felt a little helpless. She didn't want to be involved between Shannon and Harry, but Harry was her brother-in-law after all. If he and Shannon were together, she would be happy for them as well.The questions that Harry asked were nothing private, so Laura nodded her head and told Harry some of the things she knew about Shannon.Harry recorded everything Laura had said.During lunch, Harry decided to prepare a present for Shannon's birthday in advance. After all, it was almost the New Year. He asked Laura to give him some su
Madam Jacobs' face darkened.Chris and Harry, who were sitting opposite Sir Wayne, both looked at him with cold eyes.They looked as if they were going to rip Sir Wayne into pieces if he didn't apologize.Sir Wayne gritted his teeth and thought, 'Fine, I'll apologize. I was wrong to say what I just did anyway.'"I do apologize, Laura, for what I've just said. I... I didn't mean what I just said. I was being impulsive just now and wasn't thinking straight. Don't take it to heart."After Sir Wayne finished speaking, he subconsciously held his breath and waited for Laura's reply.However, Laura just nodded her head and continued to eat. She didn't even raise her head to look at Sir Wayne.Seeing this, Madam Jacobs glared at Sir Wayne once again.She felt that her brother was really annoying and suddenly regretted keeping him for the New Year. If she had known this was going to happen, she would have driven him back to Springmount.After being glared at by Madam Jacobs, Sir Wayne'
'Since when was Mr. Jacobs into pink cars?' wondered Assistant Jacobs.He then walked over and greeted Chris. "Mr. Jacobs, you have quite a unique taste. Since when did you start liking pink?"Chris stopped walking and then looked at Assistant Jacobs. "My wife likes pink."Assistant Jacobs was rendered speechless.'Fine! Whatever! I just had to ask!' Assistant Jacobs exclaimed inwardly.Laura received a call from Jill in the afternoon. She hadn't seen Jill ever since she came to live with her last time."Laura, is your brother going to hold his wedding in a couple of days? I haven't seen you for ages! I've missed you!"Listening to Jill's voice, Laura smiled. "I've missed you too, Grandaunt.""I'm planning on heading over tomorrow to see what I can do to help. That way, I don't have to be worried about being late for Luke's wedding."Laura nodded and when she heard that Jill wanted to live with her when she came to Empfield, she asked Chris for his opinion before giving Jill a
"Apply the cream three times a day. I can help you if you can't reach." Chris passed the container to Laura.Laura blushed as she pulled her hands back.She could tell that Chris was teasing her. After all, how could she not be able to reach her forehead?Jill arrived in Empfield on the morning of the next day.She had lunch at the Walker family's house and then arrived at Laura's house in the afternoon.Laura's convenience store would be closed until after the New Year, so she had plenty of time to keep Jill company."Laura, I've brought some things for you from home."Jill took out a large bag of organic vegetables.In Empfield, especially when it was almost the New Year, prices of vegetables would rise quite a lot due to the rise in demand. The vegetables that Jill had brought would be able to last them until after the New Year.Laura thanked Jill for the vegetables and poured a glass of water for her."Laura, Luke's wedding is the day after tomorrow. He's going to decorat
