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
However, this had nothing to do with Laura. It was Luke's own matter.Laura walked calmly to the cooker and began cooking."I was planning on giving half the bride price after the child was born, but now since Luke has bought the car under her name, then I will no longer give any bride price."A shadow suddenly appeared on the kitchen door. This startled Shona, who had been ranting on continuously."Who is it?""Laura, do you want some fruit?" Chris's voice sounded outside the door.Shona breathed a sigh of relief. "He didn't make any noise at all. It's so scary."Of course, Shona was mumbling when she said those words. She didn't dare allow Chris to hear what she was saying. After all, Shona felt a little scared every time she saw this son-in-law of hers.""Go, I'll do the cooking." Shona took over from what Laura was doing.In the past, Laura had always been the one cooking in the kitchen and Shona would be resting on the sofa. However, Shona had no intention of wasting any
With that said, Jennifer stood up and brought the whiskey that Laura had bought over to the dining table.Shona was so angry that her hands were trembling. The smile on Nicholas's face froze as well. However, he quickly smiled and said, "Sure, we drink whatever Gary likes."Nicholas took the bottle of whiskey and poured a glass for Gary."Chris, do you want some?" Nicholas asked Chris and held the bottle up for him."No, thank you. I have to drive later on," said Chris.Seeing this, Nicholas didn't insist. He then poured Luke a glass as well.Gary picked up the whiskey glass on the table and clinked glasses with Nicholas before taking a couple of sips. He then complimented, "Not bad. Not bad at all."Shona gave Gary a puzzled look. "I thought you often drink this at home, right?"His actions just now looked like he was drinking whiskey for the first time. He took a sip and found the taste very nice, so he immediately took another sip."Huh? Yes, I do drink it quite often. Howe
"He hadn't been very successful at first, but now he runs a small company." Shona revealed a disdainful look. "He doesn't earn that much a year. Just around 200 thousand dollars per annum."Chris was rendered speechless.Laura had to admit, Shona was very good at lying. Even she almost believed what Shona was saying.Jennifer looked admiringly at Chris. "200 thousand dollars per annum is a very high way. Shona, you're so lucky!"Shona's words caused Jessica to take a closer look at Chris.She felt that Chris wasn't an ordinary guy because of his temperament and the clothes he was wearing. They all looked quite expensive. The clothes weren't branded, but from all Jessica's knowledge of clothes and brands, she felt that Chris's clothes were designer.Combined with the house that Laura and Chris were living in, jealousy filled Jessica's eyes as she looked at Laura."By the way, Jennifer. Have you received the property ownership certificate yet?" Jennifer changed the subject. "I've
"Why not?" Seeing that Jennifer raised her voice, Shona raised hers as well. "At first we did decide to give you 40 thousand dollars as bride price, but we didn't say that the car had to be under Jessica's name, right? A car that's worth more than 40 thousand dollars is already under Jessica's name. What else do you want?""Is the car for Jessica? The car may be under Jessica's name, but it's also for the child, isn't it? Is the child in Jessica's womb going to be a member of the Walker family or the Holland family?" Jennifer wasn't backing down at all. She stood up from her chair and looked at Shona angrily."How can that be the same?" said Shona. "The child isn't born yet. If the child is born, then I won't have any problems putting it under the child's name. However, the child isn't born yet. What's your dowry anyway? Is the dowry the bed covers and the worthless washbowls?""What are you calling worthless? Do you want this marriage to continue or not?" Jennifer slammed the table
