Mrs. Summers' words caused Amelia's heart to skip a beat. Her hair stood on end and her eyes widened. However, Mrs. Summers kept on looking in the direction that Laura had left, so she didn't notice the change in Amelia's expression.Amelia moved her lips and said, "Mom, I think you've made a mistake. My brother's eyes are very good-looking. It would be rare for a person's eyes to be as good-looking as his."Mrs. Summers didn't answer Amelia's words. She and Amelia held hands as they walked out of the shopping center.Amelia pretended to say casually, "My friend was born in Empfield and raised there all her life. She had never left Empfield before. This is her first visit to Jeswood. I'll show her around tomorrow."Mrs. Summers nodded. "You're friends, so you should show her around Jeswood."Amelia smiled.After dinner, Laura and the others went to a few more places before they headed back to the hotel.At the entrance, they bumped into Chris who was just about to head inside.
At the mention of the project, Nathan pursed his lips and his face darkened.Seeing the look on his face, Amelia asked curiously, "You lost?"Nathan nodded.This surprised Amelia."Who was it that was able to steal the project from you? Does he have a death wish?""It's the Jacobs Group," said Nathan.Nathan was very confident that he would be able to get the project this time, but he still failed. That was something he didn't expect.He would never underestimate anyone, but he seemed to have underestimated the Jacobs Group."You've put in a lot of effort for this project. It's a pity that you didn't get it. Can't we talk things out? Do they not care about the Summers Group at all?" Amelia said through gnashed teeth."The Jacobs Group is just as powerful as us. Never mind, we lost fair and square this time," Nathan said with a sigh.What he didn't know was that the Jacobs Group was way more complicated than he had thought.Nathan might have gotten over things, but Amelia sti
Amelia was slightly taken aback by Laura's words.She then remembered the message that she didn't bother to read.She didn't expect Laura to actually turn her down and refused to let her treat her to a meal."Miss Walker, I took the initiative to treat you to a meal, but you refused. Don't you think it's a little inappropriate?"Amelia's words made Laura feel really puzzled.First of all, the two of them didn't know each other that well. They had only met a few times. Second of all, why couldn't she turn Amelia down?"I'm sorry, Miss Walker. I came to Jeswood this time with my family on holiday. Therefore, thank you for your invitation. I'll treat you to a meal next time when I get the chance."Laura's words meant that she had turned Amelia down again.After hearing those words, Amelia tightened her grip around her phone. Her eyes were full of anger. She wanted to say something, but after looking around at the waiters around her, she decided to not say anything. In the end, she
Meanwhile, Laura was accompanying the two elders, Shannon, and Harry.Shannon was walking beside Laura and could roughly hear the voice on the other end of the line when Laura was on the phone. She looked at Laura with concern and asked, "What's wrong?"Laura told Shannon about Amelia inviting her to a meal. After hearing the whole story, Shannon was at a loss for words."She's being a little too bossy, isn't she? You've already turned her down. Does she want to force you to go or something? How could she be so unreasonable?"Linda also heard the conversation between Laura and Shannon. "She looks like she is a child from an affluent family. The children of affluent families nowadays can be quite bossy. However, that Miss Summers..."Linda frowned and seemed to be recalling something. "Do you still remember your uncle, Laura? Miss Summers looks quite like our uncle."Laura couldn't really remember her uncle very well. She felt that she hadn't seen many people from her family ever
When Shona heard Clara's voice on the phone, her chest heaved up and down. "That bitch really did go to Jeswood!"'She's such an ungrateful bastard. I've raised her for so many years and she doesn't listen to me at all,' thought Shona."Did she realize anything?" Shona asked with concern.The thing that Shona was most afraid of was that Laura would find out about something and affect Amelia's life.Clara thought about it and said, "I don't think so. Jeswood is very big anyway. I've been in Jeswood for so many years and I've never met Amelia before, right? You don't need to be too worried. There won't be any coincidences.""That's good then..." Shona felt that Clara had a point. There weren't so many coincidences.After finding out that her daughter was still alive and was living a good life, Shona would be very excited every time she thought about it.The only thing Shona hoped for now was that her daughter would live a happy life.Shona's eyes turned cold when she thought of L
Laura and Linda didn't head back out either. The two of them kept Madam Jacobs company in the hotel in the afternoon.Shannon and Harry returned home in the evening and Chris had returned as well.Chris suggested that they would go out for dinner. There were quite a few restaurants in Jeswood that served great food. The others didn't have any problems with that either.After making the booking in advance, Chris drove everyone to the restaurant. The car only seated five people including the driver, so Harry had to get a taxi by himself to the restaurant.When they arrived at the restaurant, they got out of the car and Chris parked the car in the car park.However, the cars of the customers of the restaurant were all luxury cars. Chris's car which only cost around 20 thousand dollars really stood out.A lot of people looked at Laura and the others to size them up.When Chris returned, Harry got out of the taxi as well. The six of them walked into the restaurant and took their seat
Shannon smiled embarrassingly. "It's alright, Grandma. You guys have been paying everything since the beginning and I didn't pay a penny. I feel a little embarrassed if this kept on happening."Laura knew when Shannon went to pay the bill. She knew what was on Shannon's mind. She also knew that if she didn't let Shannon pay the bill, Shannon would always have something on her mind and wouldn't be enjoying the rest of the holiday.Therefore, Laura didn't stop Shannon from paying the bill.Now that the bill was paid, Madam Jacobs didn't dwell. She did, however, tell Harry to take good care of Shannon. If he didn't she would definitely break his leg.When the six of them returned to the hotel, they were planning on going to bed.Everything had been taken care of in Jeswood, so Chris was planning on taking Laura around Jeswood the following day.The weather was becoming warmer and warmer. As soon as Laura arrived back at the hotel, she went to the bathroom to take a shower.After th
After drinking the water, Laura went to bed."I'll go get a shower." Chris's voice echoed in the quiet room.The mentioning of the word "shower" caused Laura to think of what just happened.Her face was calm, but as soon as Chris entered the bathroom, Laura buried her head under the bed cover.She and Chris had been married for almost a year, but the most they had done was kissing each other.Laura didn't expect Chris to see her naked today. She was more shy than anything else.However, when Chris walked out of the bathroom, he saw that Laura wasn't moving in bed. He guessed that she had fallen asleep.Chris dried his hair with a towel as he was scared that the noise of the hairdryer would wake Laura up.He leaned in and looked at Laura's delicate face and red lips. That was when his eyes darkened and he landed a kiss on Laura's lips.The truth was that Laura wasn't asleep. She had heard Chris coming out, she just didn't move.However, she didn't expect Chris to kiss her when
