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
When Laura was opening the box slowly, she didn't see what was inside, but Chris did.His grip tightened around the box of condoms. Chris hid the condoms under the pillow.Both of them would have to go to work the next day. Laura got up early to make breakfast.The weather was quite cold recently, so Laura didn't ride the electric scooter. Chris drove them to and from work.Not long after Laura arrived at the convenience store, a few familiar figures appeared outside.Laura was very calm when she saw them."Laura, what happened? What did you do yesterday?"Shona walked inside with a bag. Behind her was Jennifer and Jennifer's friend, the middle-aged woman from yesterday.Jennifer became furious the moment she saw Laura.Laura left yesterday without even telling them and left them to pay the bills.Those dishes had cost her over 100 dollars."I didn't do anything." Laura wiped the counter very calmly.Shona frowned and became a little impatient.Jennifer came to the Walker
"So what if you're Jessica's godmother? What? Are you expecting Jennifer to give you some of the things we give her during festivals?"The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up when she heard those words.That was something she could accept as well.However, Jennifer was unwilling to do that.How could she give away the things that her son-in-law had given her?"Jane, wait for me outside. I'll deal with this." Jennifer gave the middle-aged woman a meaningful look and pushed her out the door.After the woman was gone, Jennifer coughed. "Shona, don't listen to her nonsense. Jessica doesn't have any godmothers. She's just my neighbor.""I see," said Shona.Jennifer nodded. "That's right. However, the main reason I came here today isn't because Laura didn't treat us yesterday. It's because I feel Laura had a poor attitude. Jessica's pregnant after all. Laura wasn't even letting Jessica sit down at first. What if she had a miscarriage?"Jennifer's words made Shona's heart skip a beat.I
Laura remained silent.What would happen to Jessica after she married Luke had nothing to do with her. She wasn't someone who would look for trouble. As long as Jessica didn't cause her trouble, she wouldn't do anything to Jessica.Shona smiled and nodded at Jennifer. "Of course, she will. Don't worry, Jennifer. Jessica will never suffer with us."Deep down, Shona didn't really like Jennifer. However, for the good of her son and the child in Jessica's womb, Shona forced a smile on her face.Jennifer was getting ready to leave. She was planning on finding Laura today and getting Laura to give her the money from yesterday. Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt comfortable.However, Jennifer was afraid that Laura was going to keep asking about Jessica's job at the Jacobs Group. If Laura really went to the Jacobs Group to look for Jessica, then things would get really complicated.Jennifer was about to leave when the middle-aged woman outside came back in."Jen, how are things going? Is
"Let them take whatever they want." Laura's lips curved into a sneer. She didn't try to stop what Jennifer and the middle-aged woman were doing. She lowered her head, unlocked her phone and sent out a text message.When Shannon saw what Laura was doing, she nodded and stood to one side.Jennifer and the middle-aged woman filled a number of plastic bags and only stopped when they couldn't hold anymore.Jennifer already had a big smile on her face.The things she was holding added up to way more than 100 dollars.She felt that she made the right decision to come here today.'Thanks to Jane, or I wouldn't have thought to take things from this store,' thought Jennifer."Shona, Laura, we'll be leaving now. You should come over to our house sometime. Jessica has missed you." Jennifer was holding bags in her hand and had a bottle of whiskey clamped under her armpit as well.Laura didn't say a word. She watched as the two of them left the store.However, before they could get far and
Shannon played along and brought out the card machine. She chuckled and said to Jennifer and the middle-aged woman, "Ladies, you don't look like you've brought a lot of cash. It's alright, we have a card machine here.""You're being unreasonable. I don't have any money and won't be paying for them. I don't want these things anymore!" the middle-aged woman shouted and threw the bags in her hand on the ground. She also kicked the bags as well. One of the bottles of alcohol shattered.Laura wasn't annoyed at all. "It's alright if you don't pay. Since you mugged the things from my store, the police are already here. I'll have to ask them to take you away to bring justice.""Don't worry, Ma'am. We will definitely treat everyone equally. We won't let any victim suffer."The police officer at the front nodded at the officers behind him. The officers got their order and walked towards Jennifer and the middle-aged woman."Ladies, please follow us.""What are you doing? What do you want?"
