Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 41 Divorced
"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
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 42 No More Bride Price
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
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 44 Argument
"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
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 45 Marriage Called Off
"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
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 46 Women
After what had been said, the Holland family still wanted Jessica's name to be added to the property ownership certificate.However, doing chores was normal for everyone. Why was Jessica so special?Deep down, Shona was still unwilling to add Jessica's name.She still wanted to say something and that was when Jessica said with tears in her eyes, "Mom, Mrs. Walker, don't get into an argument because of me. It's me who's been bothering you all this time. I know you don't like me. I won't have anything to do with the house. I'll raise the child as well in the future. I'll raise him by myself..."As she said those words, tears trickled down her cheeks. Luke's heart ached when he saw this.Shona also panicked when she heard those words. "What are you talking about, Jessica? Since when did I not like you? I'll help you raise the child after you've given birth. Don't worry about this house either. When you've given birth to my grandchild, I'll add his name to the property ownership certi
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 47 Married Daughter, Spilled Water
After the Holland family had left, Laura and Chris didn't stay either. They were about to leave.Before they left, Chris went to take a call.Luke was lying on the sofa and texting Jessica with a smile on his face. When he saw that Laura was about to leave, he stopped her."Wait a sec, sis." Luke locked his phone and put it on the sofa. "There's something I want to tell you."Luke first raised his head and looked out the door. When he was sure that Chris wasn't around, he continued, "Lend me some money."In the past, Luke would never call her "sis", he would just call her by her name.Laura knew that Luke wanted to borrow money as soon as Luke called her "sis"."I don't have any.""What are you talking about?" Luke furrowed his brows. "Today is your payday, if I remember correctly. How can you not have any money? You would always give us some money every month in the past, but you haven't been doing so for the past few months. Now that I want to borrow some money from you, you
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 48 Do I Know You?
"Madam, it's you!""You're, Laura!" Madam Jacobs pretended to be shocked.Chris had to admit, Madam Jacobs might be old, but she was very good at acting.In order to play along with Madam Jacobs, Chris also asked in surprise, "What? You know each other?"Laura forced herself to calm down.How could there be such a coincidence? Her newlywed husband's grandmother was actually her old friend.Laura thought about the conversation she had with Madam Jacobs and realized that she didn't mention that her granddaughter-in-law was coming to visit her today. Laura also said that she was going to visit her grandmother-in-law with her husband as well."I'm so surprised, Laura. I can't believe you're my granddaughter-in-law. This is just great!"Madam Jacobs walked over and pushed Chris aside. She held Laura's hand and walked into the room.Laura had no idea what mood she was in. However, now that she knew Chris's grandmother was someone she knew, Laura breathed a sigh of relief. Her nerv

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
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 589 The Scholfield Family
"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
Secret Identity of My Groom Chapter 587 Investigating Amelia
"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
