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 time of the exhibition was Saturday morning.Laura rolled her eyes a little. "I kind of want to go.""There are a limited number of tickets, but I'm experienced at things like this. Don't worry, Laura. I'll definitely get you a ticket." Shannon patted Laura on the shoulder.She felt that she would definitely be on her friend's side for such a matter.Laura gave Shannon a grateful look. "Alright, I'll transfer you the money for two tickets. I'll treat you to the exhibition as well."Shannon chuckled in response.It was soon Friday evening.Chris was had the tickets to the exhibition and was going to ask Laura if she wanted to go or not.However, before Chris could say anything, Laura opened her mouth and said, "I have plans tomorrow.""What plan?" asked Chris."I'm going shopping with Shannon tomorrow." Laura's face was indifferent.Chris had no choice but to nod his head. "Alright then. I'll head on a business trip tomorrow then."Chris had originally canceled his plans
Shannon was speaking quietly, so Mike didn't hear what she said.Laura didn't answer. She wrapped her arms around Shannon's and followed behind Mike as they walked forward.Mike introduced the sculptures around them to Laura and Shannon enthusiastically and told them where the inspiration came from.Laura and Shannon had planned on meeting Mike today, but they ended up lost in Mike's words.They had to admit that Mike was very talented."My two beautiful ladies, may I add you on WhatsApp?"At the end of the exhibition hall, Mike took out his phone from his pocket and wanted to add Laura and Shannon on WhatsApp.Laura and Shannon looked at each other and then nodded at Mike.After adding the two of them on WhatsApp, Mike saw the two of them out of the exhibition hall and waved goodbye.A mixture of feelings arose in Laura's heart.She felt that Mike was a very talented individual. Even she admired him a little from what they had talked about just now.Laura felt that it was n
Lena nodded in acknowledgement. "Okay, I'll do my best, Jessica."'I'll do my best to take your place,' Lena said inwardly.After dinner, Jessica and Lena looked at each other. Then Jessica found an excuse to take Linda, Shona, and Cola out.That meant there were only Lena and Luke left in the house.Luke had recently found a job. After dinner, he stayed in his room and was reading the documents that were required the following day.Lena knocked on the door and walked inside with a glass of milk."I've brought you a glass of milk, Luke." Lena smiled and walked up to Luke. She then raised her hand and caressed her hair.However, Luke didn't even look at her. He kept his head down and said, "Thank you, but I'll pass. You can keep it for yourself."Lena didn't move after hearing Luke's reply. Instead, she placed the glass of milk on Luke's desk.She kept her eyes on Luke's face. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.Luke's appearance really suited her taste. Not on
