"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
"Mom, back then I was young and immature." Lewis raised his hand and rubbed his head.The marriage between Lewis and his ex-wife was actually a marriage to ally two families. The two of them didn't have much feelings for each other and they got married at quite a young age.When Chris was 10 years old, Lewis was 30.20 years had passed and Lewis had been away from home for 20 years. He had rarely come back.Even if he did come back, he would only stay for a short period of time before rushing off again."You're still immature now," scolded Madam Jacobs.Lewis chuckled as he rubbed his head. He didn't agree with Madam Jacobs' words, but he didn't show it.Lewis went to the kitchen to get himself a set of cutlery and was planning on joining in the meal."The cake looks alright. Let me have a taste." Lewis reached out to pick up the knife and wanted to get a slice of cake for himself. But before the knife in his hand could touch the cake, a white and slender hand took away the cak
"How dare you ask that question?" Madam Jacobs might have missed her son, but she would still stand on her grandson's side if she had to choose between her son and grandson. "Have you ever cared about Chris in the past? It's normal for him to ignore you or treat you however he likes.""How old is he? He's already 30 years old. He's even married, why is he still so childish?""Like you were any different when you were 30 years old? Do you want me to remind you what you were doing when you were 30?" Madam Jacobs sneered.Her words caused Lewis's anger to instantly disappear. "That's all in the past. Now, I just want to make it up to them, but they don't seem to accept what I'm doing.""Chris and Harry have already done enough. At least they allowed you to stay and have lunch." Madam Jacobs didn't want to talk to this son of hers anymore. "Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave now. I need to get some rest."Her grandsons and granddaughter-in-law had left, so Madam Jacobs di
"Didn't you say the cake was for me? Why are you putting it in the fridge?""I thought you weren't going to have any.""Why not?" Chris placed the cake on the table. "Didn't you get this whilst you were on a date with Liam? Since you guys have put so much effort into it, I can't let you down."When Chris said those words, even he didn't realize how jealous he sounded.Laura furrowed her brows. "What date? What nonsense are you talking about?""Oh, I'm talking nonsense?" Chris cocked his brows and told Laura what he saw the night before."What are you talking about? Since when was he hugging me?" asked Laura.Laura finally knew why Chris had been so sarcastic since the morning.At the same time, Laura found it funny. "I'll tell you right now, Mr. Jacobs. I wasn't on a date with Liam. I just happened to bump into him at the dessert store. I went there to get you a cake. The scene you saw was probably when he was walking past me and giving suggestions on the cakes. You've probably
ura was rendered speechless. 'What the hell is he on about?'Chris's words made her want to taunt him.However, looking at Chris's serious face and earnest eyes, Laura's lips moved but she didn't say anything taunting."So, Miss Walker, are you willing to let me treat you to roast fish or not?"Laura didn't eat much before leaving during lunch.She was in fact quite hungry.Since someone was treating, she might as well go.Laura walked out of the room and said, "Well, since you're asking so nicely."Chris couldn't help but smile. He picked up his car keys and followed.He had already booked a table in advance, so when they arrived, they didn't have to wait in a queue even though there were a lot of people at the restaurant.However, when the two of them sat down, a woman's voice sounded."Laura, you're here as well?"Looking in the direction of the voice, Laura saw a familiar face. It was one of her classmates during university. The person opposite her was Liam.When Liam
Disgust flashed in Chris's eyes and his brows were furrowed.Jennifer felt that the middle-aged woman had a point. She turned to Laura and asked, "Laura, you've just started eating, right? Then we can sit together. There aren't empty seats here anymore. We would have to wait at least half an hour in a queue as well. We won't need to order another fish. We can just add some more side dishes and drinks. How about that?"Jennifer looked at the fish that was left on the table and the side dishes.The rest of the fish was enough for the three of them. They would be full after adding some side dishes. With Laura here, they wouldn't even have to pay the bill.Jennifer had a good plan in her mind. Before Laura could say yes, she already called for a waiter. "Waiter, please add three more sets of cutlery.""Wait," said Laura. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Holland. I think you should wait until we finish."Jennifer was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe her ears. "Laura, what's the meaning of this? You
The two of them worked together and made the crowd begin to blame Laura for what she was doing."It's not right to treat a pregnant woman like this, right? How can the sister-in-law be so mean...""What the hell's going on here? The girl's sister-in-law isn't letting her sit with her?""The sister-in-law seems to be with her husband. A couple came out on a date. I saw the three of them coming in from the outside and wanted to sit with them. They may be relatives, but I don't think it's appropriate.""But isn't that girl pregnant? She should treat a pregnant woman, right?""A pregnant woman out shopping for a whole day? If she doesn't take care of herself, how does she expect others to take care of her? What is she thinking?""It's other people's business. Let's not get involved."Jennifer stood next to the table with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Laura. She then took out a phone and looked like she was about to make a call. "I'm going to ask Shona what is she g
