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
Laura ran into her room, closed the door, leaned against it, and began panting a little. She then walked to the window and saw Chris walking through the garden and out the gates.She couldn't stop thinking about what just happened. She could feel that her face was still red.Chris wasn't going to be home for the next few days, so Laura didn't go home either. She stayed to keep Madam Jacobs company.On the 5th Jan, Laura received a call from Linda."Grandma, what's up?"As soon as Laura answered the call, she had a rough idea why Linda called her."Laura, Jessica is going to give birth to the baby," said Linda.Laura could tell how nervous Linda was by her voice.Most elders loved children and Linda was no exception."Don't be nervous, Grandma," said Laura.It was the morning. Laura comforted Linda for a while before hanging up. About an hour later, her phone rang again. Laura looked at her phone and saw that it was a message from Luke.The message was a picture of a newborn
As soon as Jennifer finished speaking, she turned around and didn't seem to want to talk to Jessica anymore.Seeing this, Jessica moved her lips, but didn't know what to say. she knew that Jennifer wouldn't give her the money anymore.Laura went back to work on 7th Jan.When she arrived outside the convenience store, she heard a female voice from a distance. "Laura!"Laura looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shannon running towards her. "I've missed you so much, Laura!" Shannon then gave Laura a big hug. "I've brought a lot of things from home. You can take them all home with you when you get off work today."Shannon was chuckling and Laura saw the backpack that Shannon was carrying."Thank you, Shannon. I'll take since you've brought them all the way here."Shannon then snorted jokingly. "We're friends, right? Why would you refuse gifts from me?"Laura and Shannon walked into the convenience store and the two of them began tidying the store.When the first customer
Once Shannon made up her mind, she went to the nearest shopping center during lunchtime.This was the first time that Shannon was buying clothes for a male, except for buying clothes for her elders online.The only problem was that she didn't know Harry's size."I'm sorry, please bear with me." Shannon smiled apologetically at the shop clerk and then took out her phone to text Harry."What's your size?"Harry was playing a game on his phone when he received Shannon's message. When he saw the notification, he immediately tapped on it.When he saw the message that Shannon had sent him, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly began to blush."Why do you need to know that?""Just tell me."Harry's thumbs were placed on the screen. He typed a few words but quickly deleted them.He wondered why was Shannon asking such a question. Could it be that she was worried about their future sex life?It would be a man's humiliation if the man was doubted.Harry then sent a mess
Watching the two employees leave, Laura bit her lips.She then sent Chris a text. "You're back?"There was no reply.Laura continued what she was doing, but her mind was far away.About two hours later, she received a message from Chris. "Sorry, I was in a meeting, so I didn't look at my phone. I'm not back just yet. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."'If he's not back yet, what were those two employees of the Jacobs Group talking about?' wondered Laura as she put down her phone.Deep down, she trusted Chris. Since he said that he was still abroad and wasn't back yet, then Laura would definitely believe him.However, somehow, Laura still felt a little down.She suddenly really wanted to see Chris.In the evening, Laura locked the doors of the convenience store and walked onto the road.It was a couple of days after the new year, but the weather was still cold.Laura didn't get a taxi, nor did she ride the scooter. Inside, she just walked along the roads.She had been feeling
