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
"You have a point." Jill sighed. "The living expenses in Empfield are quite high. It'll cost you a lot to raise a child. You will need to have some savings before you have a child."Laura didn't know what to say about this topic. All she could do was to smile awkwardly.When Jill went into her room, Laura heard a quiet voice next to her ear. "We'll have a child when you're ready."Laura immediately blushed at those words.She had never thought about this before.Inside the room, Laura and Chris were sleeping on the same bed, but under two separate bed covers.Laura was watching a TV series on her phone when a message notification popped up. It was from Luke. "Sis, will you be coming to my wedding the day after tomorrow?"Laura fell silent when she saw the message.On the other end of the line, after Luke had sent Laura the message, he kept his eyes on his phone screen and waited for Laura's reply.Jessica sat beside Luke and couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw what he
The two children attracted Laura's attention and she just watched them play.The two children looked a little alike. The boy was obviously a little older than the girl. They were most likely brother and sister.The little girl noticed Laura's gaze, so she walked up to her. "Are you looking at us?"The little boy noticed his sister standing in front of two strangers. He then rushed over and stood between the girl, and Laura and Chris with an alarming look on his face."Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Laura squatted down so that she was the same height as the two children."I think I know what she wants, Owen," the little girl suddenly said with a serious face."What does she want?" The little boy's face softened when he looked at the little girl."She's looking at us, so she must be wanting to play with us!" the girl said innocently and then looked at Laura. "Am I right?"Laura squatted down and pinched the girl's face with a smile. "Yes, you are! I love children who are cute l
"Harry and I are planning to go to the beach after this, do you want to come with us?" Shannon asked Laura.After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Sure!"The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour after the meal before Chris came to pick them up."Have you finished?" Chris was asking everyone but his eyes were fixed on Laura."Yes, we have. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite nice," said Harry.He seemed to not have had enough as he placed some more food in his mouth."Do you want some more? We're in no rush anyway."Laura was worried that Harry didn't have enough to eat."No, I'm full. Let's head to the beach." The thought of going to the beach and enjoying the night view with Shannon made Harry very excited."What beach?" asked Chris. He was a little puzzled."Shannon just said that they were going to the beach and asked me if I wanted to join them. It felt like a good idea to me so I agreed. Do you want to come as well?" Laura turned to look
Lucas and Dawn waited for a while but their food still wasn't served."What's taking them so long?" mumbled Dawn."They're probably busy. We don't have any other plans tonight, there's no rush."Lucas picked up his phone and began playing a game. At the same time, he poured a glass of water for Dawn. "Here, have some water., it'll ease the hunger"Dawn was rendered speechless.She picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and then began looking around. That was when she noticed a table of a man and two women receiving their food as soon as they sat down.Seeing that, Dawn shouted, "Waitress!"A girl in her early 20s quickly walked over to her. "How may I help?""When will our food be served? We've already been waiting for a long time." Dawn was a little dissatisfied."I'm sorry, Miss. The kitchen is already preparing your dishes and the food will be served very soon," the waitress said apologetically."What do you mean by that? We've already been waiting for ages. Not only th
"Mr. Summers, Mr. Scholfield is waiting for you in the meeting room.""Okay."Nathan tidied his desk, picked up a file and headed towards the meeting room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.Lucas had a lazy temperament and his lips were curved into a mischievous smile. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Summers, you're three minutes late."Nathan was used to Lucas's behavior, so he just looked at Lucas indifferently. "Here's the contract. Check to see if you have any problems with it."Lucas sat up, took the contract, and flicked through it casually. "Where's the pen?""Aren't you going to read it more carefully?""I don't think that Mr. Summers is going to trick me, right?" asked Lucas. His voice was casual and his hand was getting ready to hold a pen.Nathan smiled, took out a pen from a drawer, and signed his name on the contract before passing it to Lucas.Lucas held the pen tightly in his hand as he signed his name on the
Nathan waited in the police station with Amelia.About an hour later, two police officers brought a man in black and wearing a baseball cap in front of the two of them.There were wounds on his face as well. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.One of the officers passed a delicate purse to Amelia. "Miss Summers, is this your purse?"Amelia's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's the purse I lost.""This is the person who stole your purse, Miss Summers. What do you want us to do with him?" the other officer pointed at the man and asked.After giving it some thought, Amelia said, "I've just checked my purse and nothing's missing. I'll let him off this time.""Looks like you're in luck. Quick, thank Miss Summers for her kindness.""Thank you so much, Miss Summers!""Alright, just try not to steal things in the future. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand.After the man in black was released, Amelia and Nathan headed back home as well.Amelia then sent a text to the man in black
"Get someone to find out why Amelia went to the police station today." Nathan gave the order."Yes, Mr. Summers. I'll get right on it." Dominic nodded and went out of the room.After giving it some thought, Nathan still felt that he should head to the police station in person to ask Amelia what she was doing.When Nathan arrived at the police station, Amelia had just finished talking to Jack."Amelia!" Nathan called out.Amelia stopped walking and turned around. She then looked at Nathan with a face full of surprise."Nathan, what are you doing here?" Amelia smiled and walked over to Nathan."I came to check if Jack had said anything else. I've also heard that you came to the police station instead of to work, so I thought I'd come to give you a lift on the way back."Amelia nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll head back home with you once I've found my purse.""What purse?" Nathan felt a little puzzled."I was going out with a few friends, but I lost my purse on my way. There we
"Please take a seat, Miss Summers. We've already sent men to look for your purse. We'll find it soon." One of the officers put on a big smile and tried to please Amelia when he found out that she was the daughter of the Summers family.Amelia just nodded and then went to sit on the chair.A while later Amelia asked the officer that just spoke to her, "I'm a little bored. Can I take a look around?""Sure! I can...""There's no need. I want to take a look around by myself. Notify me when you find my purse."With that said, Amelia left the reception room and began walking around the police station.She didn't get far before she saw Jack."I need to speak to Jack," Amelia said to the guard outside the cell."I'm sorry, Miss Summers. Mr. Summers gave us specific orders to keep an eye on him and not let anyone visit him."The guard stopped Amelia. His attitude was respectful, but wasn't letting her anywhere near Jack."Do you not know who I am?" Amelia became a little angry. She co
After losing her memories, Mrs. Summers couldn't remember anything. She didn't want to dwell on this matter since it was in the past.However, Alex wasn't going to let Nancy off that easily. "She must be punished. Otherwise, who knows what she would do next time!"Nancy had become more and more arrogant. Alex felt that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, she would do something even worse.After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Summers still didn't want to punish Nancy. "She's our child after all. We shouldn't criticize her too much. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Let her off this once for me."Nancy kept nodding her head after hearing Mrs. Summers' words. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me just this once."Seeing that Mrs. Summers was asking him to let Nancy off, Alex had no choice but to say, "Since your mom has forgiven you, then I'll let you off this once. But if there's a next time, I'll kick you out of the Summers family myself!"Nancy qu
Seeing the look on Nancy's face, Alex knew that she knew about the glass of water. His face immediately paled.Amelia quickly walked forward. "Dad, Nancy was just a little thoughtless, I think she didn't mean any harm."Her words made Alex even more infuriated. "She was thoughtless? Was that the reason to add sleeping pills to the water?"If it weren't for that glass of water, Alex wouldn't have been in a deep slumber and the things that followed wouldn't have happened.Nancy began shaking in fear. That was because she did add sleeping pills to the glass of water.She was planning on getting Chris to drink the water and then she would get someone to bring Chris to her room when he was asleep.That way, Chris would have to be responsible for her under the pressure of the Summers family.However, what Nancy didn't expect was that Alex drank the water instead of Chris.Amelia wasn't worried that Nancy would sell her out. That was because drugging Chris wasn't something appropriate
