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
