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
With that said, Laura tucked herself in under the bed covers and turned her back to Chris.'Used to it? She doesn't feel comfortable sleeping with me?' Chris furrowed his brows and became a little upset."Come here," he said to Laura."No! I'm sleeping by myself."Laura's voice wasn't loud. She stayed under the bed cover and thought about the photo she saw today. Laura felt her heart aching when she thought of the photo. It caused her to not want to talk to Chris.Chris stood by the bed and looked at Laura for a while silently.'Does she not like my hug?' he wondered.Not knowing how long had passed, seeing that Laura still had her back to him and wasn't willing to move, Chris turned and left the room.As soon as Chris left, a phone rang.Laura thought it was her phone, so she got up and looked in the direction of the noise. That was when she realized it was Chris's phone that received a message.Looking at the lit screen, Laura saw a message sent by someone named "M"."I re
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
