Chris wished that he could just cut Laura's hair.He had no choice but to allow Laura's hair to hit his face all the way home. When they finally arrived home, he got off the scooter. Chris swore inwardly that he would not be a passenger of this scooter a second time.However, on the morning of the next day, when Chris was sending his assistant a message to pick him up, Laura asked, "Do you want me to give you a ride to work?"Chris subconsciously nodded his head.Therefore, Chris sat in the passenger seat of the electric scooter again.Laura took Chris to have breakfast. On the way back home the previous night, Laura said that she wanted to pay Chris for the scooter, but Chris refused.Laura then decided that she would buy Chris breakfast from now on until the money for the scooter was paid off.Sitting in the passenger seat of the scooter, Chris held a sandwich in one hand and a carton of milk in the other.The wind was blowing lightly. A black Maybach drove past the two of th
The sound of a chicken clucking then sounded. Chris's face darkened. "What did you just hand me?"Laura opened the bag and patted the hen inside. "It's just a chicken. The scooter's basket is filled with pots and pans. The chicken won't fit. You're going to have to hold it on the way back home. Don't worry. It's all tied up. All you have to do is to hold it tightly and it won't be able to hurt you."Chris had never even held a chicken's feather let alone a live chicken.However, ever since Laura appeared in his life, he would eat breakfast from a roadside stall and ride an electric scooter home. Now, he was even holding a chicken on the way home!Chris's chest heaved up and down. Laura gave him a puzzled look. "What's wrong? What's up with the look on your face?""Nothing." Chris forced a smile on his face. He didn't want Laura to know what he was thinking, so he quickly sat in the passenger seat of the scooter. "Let's go. It's getting late. We should go home and get some rest."
"Okay." Laura nodded in agreement. It would be quicker to travel by car.The two of them reached the hospital about half an hour later.Laura grew up with her grandmother, so she would obviously be very close to her grandmother. Her grandmother really cared about her as well.When Laura's grandmother saw Laura, a big smile appeared on her face."Grandma, this is the boyfriend I told you about. We got married a few days ago."In order to not let her grandmother worry about her, Laura lied to her and said that she had a boyfriend and they loved each other. She even told her grandmother that her boyfriend treated her very well.It was obvious that Laura's grandmother believed her, but she knew what kind of person Shona was, so it wasn't enough for Laura to just have a boyfriend. Only when Laura was married could her grandmother not worry about her.Chris greeted Laura's grandmother politely. "Hi, Grandma."By calling Linda Walker "Grandma", she immediately had a good impression of
Shona appeared at the door of the ward. She had her chin raised. The clothes she was wearing seemed to be brand new. She also had a bad and was wearing a pair of black high heels. She then walked into the room coquettishly.The smile on Linda's face immediately disappeared when she saw Shona. "Why are you here?""Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean why am I here? Of course, I came here to visit you!" Shona walked up to Linda's bed."I don't need you to come and visit me." Linda knew full well what kind of person Shona was.She had never liked this woman from the start, but her son loved this woman, so there was nothing she could do. In the end, she allowed her son and this woman to be married. However, the result was that this woman ruined her family for so many years."Mom, you can't stop me from being filial," Shona said unhappily. "There's one more thing, Mom. Do you like my new outfit? And this bag? Luke's girlfriend bought these for me. The child is good-looking
Everyone present was at a loss for words.Linda was so angry that she had difficulty breathing.Seeing this, Laura quickly went to pat Linda on the back to help her breathe.Linda lived in a shared ward. The other patients in the ward couldn't take Shona anymore. They began criticizing Shona between them. Linda closed her eyes and began lying back down. It was obvious that she didn't want to talk to Shona anymore.In the end, Shona could actually feel some embarrassment. She gritted her teeth and left the ward.However, before she left, Shona looked at Chris again and said, "Let me tell you this, Luke's girlfriend works at the Jacobs Group! I've heard that she's already the director of the Human Resources Department at such a young age. She will find a chance to recruit Luke as well. By that time, we will have two relatives working as senior executives in the Jacobs Group. They're way better than some guard dog of the company!"After saying that, Shona stomped her feet and left.
Chris understood what Laura meant. He then squeezed his finger pulp and nodded.When the two of them returned home, Chris lowered his head, took out his phone and sent a text to his assistant. "Find a top medical team and tell them to go to the Empfield Royal Infirmary to treat my wife's grandmother. Put all the money spent on my tab."After sending the text, Chris raised his head and looked at Laura. "Do you have time this evening?""I do, why?" Laura was a little puzzled.Chris changed into his indoor slippers and walked towards his room. "Attend a banquet with me. I need a female companion.""Huh?" Laura was dumbfounded. "What banquet? A business banquet?""Yes," Chris answered indifferently.The type of banquet that Laura had attended the most would be the banquets of her friends' weddings. She had never participated in business banquets in the past.Deep down, Laura didn't really want to go."Are you going with Mr. Jacobs?" asked Laura.She felt that if Chris was going w
"Gr... greetings, Mr. Jacobs!"A middle-aged man in black quickly walked up to Chris with a big smile on his face as he reached out his hand.However, before he could finish, Chris interrupted him."Just call me Chris."The man was gobsmacked.How could he call Chris by his first name in public?Chris's voice was indifferent, but his eyes emitted a domineering aura. All the man could do was to say, "Chris."Laura felt that she had seen this man on television in the past. He was a famous entrepreneur in Empfield.From the looks of things, the man was quite respectful towards Chris.'As expected, the Jacobs Group is the top enterprise in Empfield, so as the CEO's special assistant, Chris must have a very high status,' thought Laura.Chris went to deal with his business. Laura felt bored, so she just sat in a corner and ate.Due to the fact that she was very attractive, she attracted the attention of some people."Hello, Miss. Did you come alone?"A middle-aged man used the m
Chris was confused at first, but he soon realized what Laura was talking about.He realized that Laura thought that he was unhappy because his business didn't go as planned.Chris pursed his lips. He seemed to want to say something to Laura, but Laura's voice sounded again. "Goodnight, Mr. Jacobs."This caused Chris to swallow the words he was about to say. He then said, "Goodnight."On the morning of the next day.Laura yawned and rubbed her eyes as she got out of bed. Coincidentally, Chris had just returned from his morning jog.He was wearing a vest. This meant that his arms were exposed and they displayed perfectly built muscles.There was sweat on his handsome face as well. Chris then lifted one of his hands to ruffle his hair. He took a set of fresh clothes and rushed to the bathroom.Laura saw what he was doing and asked, "What do you want for breakfast? I've made some oat porridge.""Oat porridge is fine." Chris nodded his head.When he came out of the bathroom, Laura
