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
Laura walked inside with a cold face and closed the bedroom door.When Shona saw what Laura was doing, she placed the money in her hand back under the pillow."What are you doing, you bastard? I thought you were going to see your grandmother. What are you doing in my room?" asked Shona.Laura didn't continue to walk inside. Instead, she stood where she was and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She looked at Shona with a sarcastic smile and asked, "I came to see where are my grandmother's new clothes.""She didn't want any." Shona was in a little bit of a panic. She didn't dare to look Laura in the eyes.Laura knew that was what Shona would say.However, she didn't want to dwell on whether Shona had bought the clothes or not. She just said, "Treat my grandmother better in the future. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson that you'll never forget."If Laura could own her own house, she would definitely bring her grandmother over. However, she was living with Chris at the moment
Chris raised his head when he heard those words. He just happened to see the scene through the car window.Laura was leaning forward and looking at the desserts in front of her, revealing half of her familiar face.Chris had seen the man next to her. It was Liam. They had met at the barbecue shop a few days ago.Chris’s eyes immediately turned cold.“Mr. Jacobs, there’s got to be some kind of misunderstanding, right?” asked Assistant Jacobs. “Is that guy Mrs. Jacobs’ brother?”The two of them looked to be very intimate.“Keep your eyes on the road.” Chris didn’t answer Assistant Jacobs’ question. He turned away and looked coldly at the front. However, his grip on the documents in his hands tightened.They were in a contract marriage and would divorce in a year’s time, but they should remain loyal to each other within this year.Chris had originally wanted to get out of the car, but the banquet was about to start. He didn’t want to waste time on other matters.His lips curved i
"I went to the hospital with Jessica in the morning for a checkup. I then went to buy some things for my grandmother in the afternoon," said Laura. "Why?""Anywhere else?""I went to have dinner and then went to buy something." Laura didn't know why Chris was asking such a question.Chris smiled even more mockingly.He felt that Laura and Liam were having dinner last night."Laura, we are in a contract marriage, but I don't want you to cheat on me. If I find you doing so, you'll have to suffer the consequences."Chris's eyes turned cold. It was something Laura had never seen before.Laura didn't understand what was wrong with Chris, but after hearing his words, she became a little frustrated as well."What do you me? You sound like I've cheated on you.""You know what you've done." Chris glanced at Laura coldly and then headed to the bathroom.Chris's attitude made Laura want to laugh.What did he mean by she should know what she had done? What made him think she cheated on
Chris had an impulse to throw the cake away.However, because Madam Jacobs was around, Chris didn't do that. He just didn't touch the cake at all.Laura felt that there was something wrong with Chris since this morning. When he didn't even look at the cake, Laura felt a little upset. She felt like she was being self-sentimental.However, when she thought about it, she decided to eat the cake if Chris wasn't going to have any. There would be more for her anyway. It wasn't all that bad. Laura calmed down immediately at the thought.Only Chris wasn't happy, the rest of them all had smiles on their faces.Since Madam Jacobs was around, Harry had the courage to get some cream on his finger and poke it on Chris's face."Happy birthday, Chris!"However, what he got in return was Chris's cold glare.Harry was a little scared. He reached out and rubbed the back of his head. He felt that there was something wrong with Chris today. He was cold and a little depressed.If it had been in th
