Laura squinted her eyes.When Laura saw Jessica, Jessica saw Laura as well. Panic flashed in Jessica's eyes. She quickly let go of the man's arm."What's wrong?" The man beside Jessica was a little puzzled."That's Luke's sister," Jessica said in a low voice. She then quickly walked over. "Laura!"Laura stood where she was and didn't move. She looked at Jessica as she walked towards her."Laura, are you out shopping as well?" Jessica looked at the store behind Laura and the bag in Laura's hand. "Laura, are you buying something for Chris?""Yes." Laura nodded and then looked at the man behind Jessica."Laura, this is my cousin. He's here to keep me company. Please don't be mistaken," Jessica quickly said.The man walked up to Laura and sized Laura up and down. His gaze landed on Laura's delicate face. "Hello."He reached out a hand towards Laura in an attempt to shake hands. However, Laura ignored his hand. She just nodded. "Hello. I still had to head back to work, so I have to
This infuriated Laura.She only went inside to buy a present and the battery pack was stolen. It was under broad daylight as well.Laura took a deep breath and looked around. There was no place where she could fix the electric scooter. All she could do was to push the scooter forward.On her way back, a black Maybach drove past slowly. Assistant Jacobs was sitting in the driver's seat. He saw a familiar figure at the side of the road."Mr. Jacobs, it's Mrs. Jacobs."Chris was looking at a file on his lap in the back seat.He just happened to be at the shopping center for some business matters.He raised his hand and said, "Find a place to set me down."Assistant Jacobs nodded and found a place out of Laura's sight to set Chris down.Chris got out of the car and knocked on the car window. "You can head back first."Assistant Jacobs nodded and started the car. Chris then began chasing after Laura.Laura had all her attention on pushing the electric scooter, but she suddenly fe
Laura would normally cook her own lunch and dinner in the convenience store. She would also order takeaway as well.She would order takeaways more often, because she didn't have much time to head to the market to buy things to cook.However, since she just happened to pass by, then she wanted to buy some things.Chris followed Laura into the open market. This was the first time he came to such a place. As soon as they entered, the closest stall was selling ducks and chicken. A nasty smell filled Chris's nose and made him frown."I want to buy some prawns. I wonder if they sell any."Laura walked forward and Chris followed closely behind her.It didn't take Laura long to find a stall that sold prawns.The prawns were of good quality, but the price was a little too high."Young lady, you think the price is too expensive? I'm about to close the stall, so I'm already giving you a discount.""Ma'am, I do the groceries quite often, so I know the usual price. The price you're giving
Laura knew her place very well. Chris didn't tell her anything about Helen, but his attitude was clear. Therefore, Laura didn't want too much to do with Helen either.However, Helen didn't seem to understand what Laura was saying. She walked closer to Laura."Laura, I know there were some misunderstandings between Chris and his father. But after being beside Lewis for so many years, I can tell that he really missed Chris and Harry. I'm not expecting that I can be recognized by the Jacobs family, but I really hope Chris and Harry can accept their father. If I see them getting along, I can feel more at ease."Laura had been wondering why Helen came to her, but she now understood. She was here to be a persuader."Miss Foster, that's not something I can decide. After all, Mr. Jacobs had been missing in their lives for 20 years. That's not something he can make up in a short period of time."Truthfully speaking, Laura felt sorry for Chris.His parents were divorced when he was little
Helen thought that she could remain calm no matter what after spending so many years in the upper class, but right now, she didn't want to stay for a second longer. Especially, when she noticed that Chris was looking at her belly.Helen quickly reached out her hand and protected her belly. "I'll be leaving now, Laura. I'll come and see you when I get the chance in the future."Helen was about to leave with her bag."Wait."A cold voice sounded behind Helen. She immediately became alarmed."What do you want, Chris?" Helen kept her hands in front of her belly."Take your things with you."Chris had no interest in the child in her womb.Helen pursed her lips, picked up the bag at the counter, and left.Laura looked at Helen's receding figure and then turned to look at Chris. "What brought you over?"She was planning on sending Chris a text, but was delayed by Helen. Chris came down before she could send him a text.Chris returned to his normal self after Helen had left. "I felt
"Laura, it's me. I'm going to take your grandma out to do some shopping and prepare for the winter. I want to buy some coats for her. Can you accompany Jessica to the hospital for a checkup? It isn't Luke's day off today. I don't want Jessica to go alone."Laura furrowed her brows. 'She wants me to go with Jessica to the hospital for a checkup?'After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Okay.""Alright, you can come and pick her up then."Shona's lips curved into a smile after she hung up.Linda walked into the room and just happened to see Shona holding her phone. She frowned and asked, "Shona, what are you doing with my phone?""Oh, nothing, Mom. My phone doesn't have any credit left, so I used your phone to make a call." Shona didn't seem to panic at all. She then placed the phone back where she found it.Linda didn't overthink things and nodded at Shona.After Laura had hung up, she looked at the ceiling for a short while before heading to the bathroom to wash up.When
Jessica had deliberately brought Laura to this store. She had planned this with Shona in advance.Since Laura wasn't willing to give Luke any money, then they would take Laura to the shopping center. They didn't believe that Laura would not give any money in front of so many people.Laura squinted her eyes. She quickly guessed what Jessica was trying to do.She calmly walked up to Jessica with a smile. "I bought quite a lot of coats for him last year. He'll be fine this year."Last year, when she had just graduated from university, as soon as she received her first month's wage, Luke had sent her a few links. He said that it was almost Winter and he wanted to buy some new clothes.Back then, Laura bought everything in the links Luke sent her."Oh, well..." Jessica continued, "But they're all last year's clothes. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if he wore them this year? They're outdated.""How can they be outdated? It's only been a year. He didn't even wear the coats too much last
However, she looked at Laura a few times in an attempt to cause trouble for her. However, there was nothing wrong with what Laura had said.Laura went to the Walker family's house with Shona. She wanted to visit Linda.When Laura arrived, Linda was watching TV in her room.Laura walked inside and closed the door."Laura, how come you're here?" Linda's eyes lit up when she saw her granddaughter.Linda's room at the Walker family's house wasn't big. It was the smallest room in the house. There was a television size of a palm in the room for entertainment.There was a large liquid crystal television in the living room, but Shona felt it was too noisy and never allowed Linda to use it."I came to visit you, Grandma." Linda walked in and looked around the room. She reached out and touched the bed. "It's getting cold, Grandma. Is the bed warm enough for you? Don't you feel cold?""I don't feel cold at all." Linda shook her head. "Shona gave me a mattress yesterday. She said she bough
