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
"Laura, I've missed you."When Laura heard those words, her heart skipped a beat. A strange feeling appeared in her heart.Laura bit her lip and nodded slightly.Looking at Chris's face, she said, "I miss you too."As soon as Laura finished speaking, she began to feel embarrassed.This was the first time that she had said such words to Chris.Laura felt a little embarrassed, but she still wanted to tell Chris that she missed him."Alright, I'll be back in a few days." Chris smiled.Laura nodded in response.After hanging up, Laura's depressed feelings disappeared as well.Deep down, she trusted Chris. She didn't believe that Chris would betray her.She felt what the two employees of the Jacobs Group said must have been a mistake.In conclusion, Laura felt that since she chose to be with Chris, then she should trust Chris.Laura closed her eyes and fell into a deep slumber.On the morning of the next day.When Laura woke up, Laura felt something warm.After giving it som
"Chris..."Chris had just gotten out of the car. The clothes he was wearing were still quite thin. He was also emitting a cold aura."It's me." Chris pulled Laura into his arms and looked at her pale face. His hands were shaking a little. "What's wrong? Let's go to the hospital.""No." Laura reached out and grabbed Chris. "There's no need to go to the hospital. Let's just go home. I have some painkillers at home."Chris felt a little puzzled.Leaning in Chris's arms, Laura felt a little better.She then said shyly, "It's my periods."Chris immediately understood the situation. He picked Laura up from the ground and walked towards the car."Let's go home."Laura nodded in agreement. She leaned her head against Chris's chest and his unique scent filled her nose. This gave her a sense of security.After arriving home, Laura was about to change her shoes, but Chris stopped her."I'll do it for you."He carried Laura to the bed, squatted down and knelt on one knee.Laura seemed
Feeling the touch on her belly, Laura widened her eyes in shock.A strange feeling arose in her heart."Does it feel any better?" Chris asked next to her ear.Laura subconsciously bit her lip and nodded at Chris. "Yeah. I'm feeling better now.""Get some rest then."Chris didn't remove his hand. He faced Laura and closed his eyes.His eyelashes were quite long. They were able to cast a shadow on Chris's face under the moonlight which shone through the window.Such an environment made Laura feel comfortable.She closed her eyes and couldn't help but curve her lips subconsciously.On the morning of the next day.When Laura woke up, she saw a pair of dark eyes."Are you feeling better today?"Thinking of what happened last night, Laura felt a little embarrassed.The two of them were married and their contract was canceled as well. They planned on living as a couple for the rest of their lives, but rubbing the belly was an intimate action. It was something that had never happe
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
