Laura was at a loss for words. Her lips moved as she sighed and said to Shannon, "Just take it, Shannon. He's already bought it, you don't need to feel like you owe him anything."Harry nodded crazily. "That's right, Shannon. Just take it. You don't need to feel like you owe me anything. It's alright."Shannon felt that the figures were a little too valuable and would be worth a lot. She didn't want to take advantage of Harry.However, when she listened to Laura and Harry's words, Shannon knew that Harry wouldn't accept any money she gave him. She had no choice but to give up the idea."I'll take them then, thank you," Shannon said to Harry.She secretly made up her mind that she would give Harry something in return.When Harry heard that Shannon was willing to accept the gifts, he breathed a sigh of relief.He then opened the box, took out the cake, lit the candles on it and passed it to Shannon for her to make a birthday wish.Shannon looked at the cake and said, "The Pikachu
Shannon's face darkened. "Aunt Lauren, they're my friends. Please treat them with respect.""Don't push it, Shannon. How is my mom not showing you any respect? You're the shameless one, alright?" May stepped forward to defend her mother.She raised her voice and attracted the attention of the other customers.Shannon's face immediately turned red.Harry leaned against his chair indifferently. He looked as if he didn't care about what was happening, but his eyes were colder than ever.He called for a waiter. "These two ladies are disturbing us, please deal with them. Thank you."All high-class restaurants had their own security. The waiter nodded at Harry and then called security to seize Lauren and May.No matter how Lauren and May cursed, the guards still threw the two of them out of the restaurant.When everything had quietened down, Shannon felt a little embarrassed as she looked at Laura and Harry. "I'm sorry that you've had to see this, Miss Walker."Laura smiled. "It's alright, S
May was rendered speechless by Shannon's words.Seeing what was happening, Lauren began crying. "Mom, Dad, look at them! Are you going to just watch as Shannon bully us like that?"As soon as Lauren said those words, she looked at Shannon's father, Carlos Leonard. "Carlos, does Shannon know any manners at all? All these years, you've been out working with your wife and child. It was Ronan and I who took care of Mom and Dad. You only come back every couple of months and you always bully us when we come back. This is so unreasonable."Ziva's had a soft personality.She didn't like Lauren and May either, but it was true that she, her husband, and her daughter were working away from home. They didn't come back to see Abbie and John Leonard, so she felt a little guilty., whenever Lauren and May were making things difficult for them, Ziva would tell Shannon to just ignore them.Carlos had been quiet up until now, but after hearing Lauren's words, he placed the coffee cup in his hand d
Madam Jacobs took a sip of coffee and said, "Stop sticking your nose into young people's business. Besides, Laura's about the same age as Nicole, right? Nicole's even still single!"Sir Wayne was rendered speechless.Ever since Madam Jacobs found out the things that Nicole had done, she would frequently talk sarcastically to Sir Wayne.But there was nothing Sir Wayne could do about it.Sir Wayne rubbed his nose and said after a short pause, "Taylor, I'm planning on paying Nicole a visit tomorrow. It's New Year's Eve, she's in the detention center all alone, I'm a little worried."He sighed and waited for Madam Jacobs' response. when he turned around, he realized that Madam Jacobs had disappeared.Sir Wayne widened his eyes in shock and turned to look behind him. That was when he saw Madam Jacobs returning to her room.On the morning of New Year's Eve, Laura and Chris got up early.When they opened the window, Laura was surprised to see that everything was covered in snow."C
Sir Wayne hesitated for a few seconds before placing a piece of meat in his mouth.The meat was fully cooked, it was edible, and the taste was... acceptable as well.He felt that Nicole at least wouldn't dislike it.Sir Wayne then placed the food into a lunchbox and left the kitchen."Chris, can you give me a lift to the detention center?"Sir Wayne walked up to Chris and interrupted what he was doing."No," said Chris as he looked at Sir Wayne indifferently.Sir Wayne had guessed that Chris would refuse to give him a lift, but he didn't expect Chris to refuse so straightforwardly. after giving it some thought, Sir Wayne felt that it was normal for Chris to act in such a way after what Nicole had done.Sir Wayne then walked towards Harry. "Harry, can you give me a lift to the detention center?"Harry stopped what he was doing as well and then looked at Sir Wayne with a smile on his face.His reaction gave Sir Wayne a spark of hope. the next second, Harry said, "No."Sir
Sir Wayne didn't see anything that Nicole had done.Laura had been building a snowman and having a snow fight with Chris and Harry in the morning. The three of them went back into the house at around 10 o'clock. They washed their hands and began to prepare lunch with Madam Jacobs.Chris had already bought the ingredients and asked someone to bring them to Madam Jacobs' house the day before.Laura was quite good at cooking, so she became the head chef. The others helped her out.Sir Wayne returned at around lunchtime and lunch was almost done as well.Seeing this, he quickly went to the kitchen to fetch the plates and the cutlery.After lunch, Sir Wayne also took the initiative to tidy the table and do the washing up.Looking at Sir Wayne's figure, Harry said, "Grandma, why do I feel that Granduncle has become hardworking all of a sudden?"Madam Jacobs snorted and said, "Laura was the head chef today for lunch and we all helped her out. He didn't do anything, so it's normal for
The thought of the surprised look on Madam Jacobs' face was hilarious to Harry and he couldn't help but laugh.His sudden actions scared Madam Jacobs. She gave Harry a puzzled look as she couldn't understand what was wrong with Harry. 'Why is he acting like an idiot?'Laura was answering a call to the side. It was a call from Linda. She called Linda after lunch, but Linda didn't answer. Now, Linda was ringing Laura back.Laura only hung up the phone after talking to Linda for a while.Luke was still hospitalized, but the good thing was that he was no longer in ICU. He was transferred to a regular ward.At lunchtime, Lind and Nicholas made lunch for Shona to take to the hospital. Shona and Luke then had lunch together at the hospital.At the Empfield Royal Infirmary. When Linda hung up the call, Shona couldn't help but pout her lips. "Who were you talking to, Laura?"Linda nodded in reply."It's New Year's Eve, her brother's still hospitalized and she doesn't care at all. She's
Laura passed the firework in her hand to Chris.Chris looked at Laura, who was running around in the snow with a bright smile on her face and then the firework in his hand. His face then softened.What happened this year made Chris feel the New Year's Eve of previous years seem a little boring.Chris recalled the New Year's Eve of last year. Back then he went back to his room after dinner to work. It just felt like another ordinary day. this year, with Laura around, the house seemed to be filled with laughter.Madam Jacobs looked at Laura, Chris, and Harry with a big smile on her face as well.She hoped that there would be a child at home next year to add to the happiness.Sir Wayne sighed. "I wish Nicole could be here as well. We might be even happier with her around. Nicole is about the same age as Laura. They'll definitely be good friends."Madam Jacobs was rendered speechless by Sir Wayne's words. His words caused Madam Jacobs to want to slap him in the face.The five of
