'What the hell's going on?' wondered Laura.Shona had mentioned multiple times that Jessica was a senior executive at the Jacobs Group. She even mentioned it during lunch today."I'm not sure," said Chris. "There's no called Jessica Holland in the company's system. I've never seen her in the company either."There was only one possibility for this, Jessica was lying.Laura obviously trusted Chris. After all, he was the CEO's special assistant. Therefore, it was normal for him to be able to find out who worked in the company.All she didn't know was why Jessica had to lie.Laura became deep in thought.She and Shona weren't on good terms, but they were still a family after all. Shona was her mother, she felt that she needed to find a chance to tell Shona the truth.However, whether Shona believed her or not was none of her business.In the evening, Laura took Chris out for some barbecue.There was a food street in Empfield and Laura would often come to one of the barbecue stor
Laura saw that Chris had already paid the bill and was putting his phone away."I came with my husband." Laura introduced Chris to Liam. "Chris, this is a senior at university.""You're married?" A look of disbelief appeared on Liam's face. His hands on either side of him were trembling.Laura nodded.Chris stood beside Laura. He sized Liam up and down indifferently."I do apologize." Liam smiled after locking gazes with Chris. He then reached out a hand.Chris reached out a hand as well and shook hands with Liam. However, Chris quickly pulled his hand back after a brief handshake and placed his hand into his pocket indifferently."Liam, we've just finished dinner and were about to leave. Hope you enjoy your meal," said Laura."Okay." Liam nodded, but when he looked at Laura and Chris's receding figures, his eyes darkened.Laura and Chris came on the electric scooter, so they were now headed towards the car park.On the way there, Chris suddenly said, "Did he have a crush on
After hearing Shona's words, Linda looked at Shona with a frown. "What are you talking about?""A house switch. Mom, I'd suggest you convince Laura about this. The house she lives in at the moment is near a school, but it's quite small. I'm planning on getting Luke and Laura to switch houses. It'll be more convenient for Jessica's child to go to school in the future. Besides, Luke's house is not only bigger, it's also newer. Laura's taking an advantage in this matter, but she wouldn't agree." Shona sounded as if Laura didn't understand what she was trying to do.Linda then said in a disdainful voice, "Are you talking about the house that Chris and Laura are living in right now? Why should they switch houses with Luke? I know you too well to let Laura take advantage of anything."Linda's words made Shona feel shameful, especially when there were other elders in the room. They all loved gossip and all looked at Shona.Shona pouted her lips. "Alright then, let's forget about switching
"Don't think I don't know what they're trying to do. They just wanted to be cheap! They want to use the child against me so that they can reduce the amount of bride price they give me!"The man squinted his eyes. He reached out a hand and rubbed Jessica's belly.Jessica looked at the man shyly. "Hey, you are rubbing my belly in public you know. However, you have no idea how happy the people of the Walker family were when I told them that my baby was a boy. It's such a joke. However, what they didn't expect is that the child in my womb is a boy, but it doesn't belong to Luke..."With that said, the man beside Jessica smiled as well. He kissed Jessica's forehead and said, "You can stay with them for now, Jessica.""Do you really want me to marry Luke whilst being pregnant with your child?""Of course, not. However, you know what I'm going through right now. I don't want you and our child to suffer with me. Therefore, I'd rather give you over to Luke and suffer by myself. I don't wan
Laura felt a little puzzled. 'What's going on? Why did he reject my friend request? Did Chris accidentally click on the wrong button?'Laura wanted to try one more time, but this time she received the notification that the account didn't exist.She was rendered speechless.She had been able to find the account just moments ago, but now she couldn't find the account anymore. There was only one possibility, Chris had changed his settings to his account so that others couldn't find him using his phone number.This made Laura a little frustrated.What was the meaning of this?Laura gave Chris a call."Hello, what is it?"Chris's calm voice sounded on the other end of the line. This made Laura even more unhappy, but Laura still kept her cool. "Mr. Jacobs, why did you reject my friend request? I've chosen the Christmas decorations and wanted to send them to you to have a look."Chris was taken aback at first and then replied subconsciously, "When did you try to add me?"Laura frown
"I'm serious. I'm not joking around," said Laura."I'm not joking around. I'm being very serious."Madam Jacobs really liked Laura. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted Chris and Laura to be together.Laura felt a little helpless. She knew that she wouldn't get anything from Chris, so she decided to deal with things as they go along.After hanging up the call, Laura did a search on the internet. What should she take on her first visit to her husband's family?Meanwhile, at the Jacobs family's house.Madam Jacobs was lying casually in the garden and looking at the phone in her hand.She first looked at Laura's Twitter and saw that Laura hadn't posted anything on Twitter for ages. After giving it some thought, she clicked on Laura's chat window and sent a message over."Laura, what are you up to lately?"Madam Jacobs knew that Laura was her granddaughter-in-law and that they were old friends, but Laura didn't.Laura soon typed her reply to Madam Jacobs. "I'm googling something,
"Mr..." The senior executive's lips trembled. Before he could finish, Chris interrupted him.Chris glanced at the price labeled on the snacks. "Five dollars. Let's cut the small talk and pay up."The senior executive nodded subconsciously, paid for the snacks and rushed out of the store.The senior executive still wasn't able to calm down even after he reached his office. When he bumped into Assistant Jacobs, he reached out and grabbed Assistant Jacobs. "Assistant Jacobs, what the hell's going on? I just went to the convenience store downstairs and saw Mr. Jacobs. He's at the counter!"Assistant Jacobs was wondering where Chris had gone. In the end, Chris had gone to help his wife out.His lips twitched. He knew that Chris was still keeping his marriage a secret, so he said, "Well, Mr. Jacobs is trying to experience the life of a working class."The senior executive widened his eyes in shock. 'Mr. Jacobs actually went to experience the life of a working class? What is there to ex
"It's alright." Chris took the things in Laura's hand and walked forward. "They divorced when I was 10 years old. I grew up with my grandmother after that. You will only have to meet my grandmother tomorrow. You don't need to give her this whiskey, you can save it for me."Chris kept an indifferent face. It seemed that he didn't care about if his parents were together or not.Laura pursed her lips.No children would hope for their parents to be divorced. Laura looked at Chris and wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.'His parents were divorced when he was 10. He's 30 now, so 20 years has passed.'In the end, Laura reached out a hand and patted the back of Chris's hand to comfort him.Her fingers were soft and white, and so was her palm. When her hand landed on the back of Chris's hand, he felt a little ticklish. He couldn't help but look at Laura with a smile.Laura chuckled in return.On the morning of the next day.Laura got up early and cooked breakfast. After
