Chris's eyes darkened and could roughly guess what happened."Okay, I'm aware," said Chris.Assistant Jacobs nodded and didn't say anything else.As for Chris, he chose to send Laura a message on WhatsApp. "Luke went to do a paternity test?"Laura was at the counter in the convenience store. She had nothing to do when she received Chris's WhatsApp message. "Yes. How did you know?"Chris told Laura about what Assistant Jacobs saw.Laura's eyes widened when she read the message. 'No wonder the result shows that the child had no relations to the father.' Laura felt a little puzzled. "How did your colleague know Luke?""My colleague is your frequent customer."After reading the message, Laura understood why Chris's colleague knew Luke.Luke had come to her convenience store many times. Chris's colleague must have seen him in the past."Thank your colleague for me."With that, Laura then went and told Luke about this matter.About half an hour later, Luke sent his reply. "Are
It had been a long time since Luke had eaten at the same table as Laura. He had also not eaten food cooked by Laura for a long time either."Laura, it's been ages since I've eaten food cooked by you. You're still really good at cooking!" Luke complimented Laura."I remember when we were little, our parents weren't home and there would only be the two of us. You're always the one who did the cooking." Luke missed the times when they were young.Laura smiled in response.After dinner, Luke went back home.Jessica was sitting on the sofa with Cola in her arms. When she saw Luke, she asked, "Where did you go? Why didn't you answer my calls?""I went to take out the trash and bumped into a friend, so we chatted for a while. My phone had run out of battery, I didn't couldn't take any calls."Luke was lying, but his voice was indifferent and calm.When Jessica heard those words, she frowned. 'Why does this reason sound so familiar?'In order for Jessica to not suspect anything, Luke
Jessica felt a little more relaxed after hearing what Jennifer had said. "Okay.""But, what's your situation, Jessica? Is Tristan going to take you with him or not? You can't just go on like this. You own half of the house at the moment and the car's under your name as well. If you get a divorce now, you will get a significant amount of money.""He's going to come for me, Mom. Tristan told me to pick out some of the things that Luke has done wrong. That way, I'll get more money when we get the divorce.""What does he mean by that?""Get him to cheat on me."Jennifer immediately understood what Jessica meant."But it's not easy for Luke to do so considering his feelings for you." Jennifer sighed.After all, Luke treated Jessica very well. After the child was born, it was Luke and Shona who were taking care of the child. Jessica didn't have to do anything.Luke treated the members of the Holland family very well as well. Plus the fact that the Walker family was quite wealthy as w
Laura couldn't help but blush when she heard Chris's words.She nodded slightly and said, "I'll only have you for the rest of my life as well."When they arrived home, Laura was going to head back to her room to sleep after washing up, but Chris stopped her."Laura, let's sleep together."Chris didn't want him and his wife to sleep in different rooms anymore.Laura didn't refuse. After all, the two of them had decided to live on as married couples. They would be sleeping together sooner or later.Seeing that Laura had agreed, Chris couldn't help but curve his lips.He went into Laura's room with her to help her pack her things.He wanted to put his things with Laura's.After moving the things over, Chris frowned.He got the feeling that his room was a little too small."What's wrong?" asked Laura when she sensed the change in Chris's expression."Nothing." Chris shook his head. "I just feel that the room's a little small."'Looks like I need to find a chance to switch to a
Shona didn't really want to agree to Lena living with them.After all, Jessica didn't help out around the house. She wouldn't buy groceries or do the chores around the house. Another mouth to feed would be more work to do for Shona.However, Shona saw that Luke didn't say anything, so she remained quiet as well. She didn't want her son to speak up for Jessica again and talk back to her.It didn't take long for Lena to arrive.Compared to Jessica, Lena was more cheerful and attractive.When Lena saw Luke, she acted a little stunned and then let out a bright smile as she said hello to Luke. "Hello, Luke."Luke nodded politely in response.In a place where Luke couldn't hear them speaking, Lena said to Jessica, "Jessica, Luke's kind of cute."Luke was indeed quite good-looking. He had way better looks than Tristan and that was for definite.However, what Jessica liked the most was money.She lowered her voice and said to Lena, "Do you still remember why I asked you to come over?
Lena nodded in acknowledgement.On the morning of the next day.When Lena got out of bed, she just happened to see Luke coming home. He was holding breakfast in his hand.She was driven out of Luke's room yesterday, but Lena acted as if nothing had happened. She waved her hand and greeted Luke.Luke nodded indifferently in response.Lena didn't seem to care about Luke's cold attitude towards her. "What did you buy, Luke?"She wanted to take the breakfast from Luke's hand, but Luke placed the food on the table. "See for yourself."With that said, Luke left the living room.Lena pouted her lips. She could tell that Luke didn't want to talk to her. Deep down, she began to envy Jessica.She didn't know what was Jessica thinking. Luke was good-looking, knew how to take care of people, and would go to buy breakfast in the morning. He was different from those men who were lazy and didn't want to do anything.Lena couldn't believe that Jessica wasn't treasuring such a good man.Sudd
Whenever Shannon thought of what Lauren did, she would be infuriated. 'Who does she think she is? I'm so unlucky to have a relative like her!'Laura tried to comfort Shannon and then asked, "Where's Harry?"Shannon coughed when Laura asked about Harry. An awkward expression appeared on her face.Noticing the change in Shannon's expression, a teasing look appeared on Laura's face.It seemed that the two of them had made some progress during the trip to Springmount."He was with me all the time and helped me deal with things. I just told him to head home and get some rest," said Shannon.Laura nodded.Shannon seemed to have thought of something and asked Laura, "Laura, do you know where Mr. Jacobs is?"Shannon was asking about Chris."He went out on business."Laura was a little confused as to why Shannon suddenly mentioned Chris.A meaningful look appeared on Shannon's face. She bit her lip and looked like she wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start."It's al
If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was a friend he had since childhood, Chris would have already kicked him out of the restaurant.Mike didn't really care what Chris was saying. He loved his long hair. He didn't care about what anyone thought about his hair.After all, there was no law that stated that men couldn't have long hair."Have you thought about what I talked to you about? Are you going to invest in my art exhibition or not?"Mike's name was Mike Hall. He had grown up with Chris. The Hall family had moved abroad and only came back to the country recently.He wanted to hold an exhibition in the country to show his works and collections of other people's works to the public, so that he could discuss them with others.However, all of that needed money.Mike had fallen out with his family recently and they stopped giving him money. He had just gotten back to the country, so he didn't have many connections. The only person he could rely on was his goo
