Luke was taken aback at first, but then said, "Don't try to change the subject. Weren't you the one who encouraged them to fight?""I was the one who encouraged them? Who do you think I am?" Laura laughed disdainfully. "Mom had bought this house for you in full payment. You promised them that they could move in and take care of your child for you. However, what did you just do? You didn't even tell us anything before you allowed the members of the Holland family to move in. Don't you know what kind of person Mom is? If it weren't for you, do you think she would just leave like that yesterday and give up the house?"The house was bought in full payment, but Shona didn't even get to move in. Instead, the Holland family moved in. The most important thing was that Luke and Jessica weren't even married yet. They didn't even get a marriage certificate yet."Because of you, Mom was willing to give the Holland family 40 thousand dollars as bride price, the car was under Jessica's name and J

The expression on Jessica's face froze when she heard Luke's words, but the next second, she quickly recovered. "It won't be long now. You know how big of a company the Jacobs Group is. It's not one of those small companies and there are strict procedures to be followed. It's not that easy to just get anyone to temporarily take my place. Don't worry. I'm already making preparations. I promise you, soon, you can go and take my place temporarily. By then, I'll be able to wait for the birth of our child without any worries.""Okay." Luke kissed Jessica's lips.Jessica quickly asked, "By the way, how did things go with your sister? Is she going to come and apologize to my mom or not?"When Jessica mentioned Laura, Luke's face darkened. He then said, "She wouldn't come. There's nothing I can do about that. She's married now and there's someone backing her up, so she doesn't have as a good temper as before. She barely listens to me now. However, I won't let her come anywhere near here in

"Chris is so kind." Linda sighed, but she really liked this gift.Linda had lived for decades and had experienced a lot of things. For all the families she had seen, it would be the women who would worry about gifts for such occasions. She didn't expect Chris to notice something so detailed.This caused Linda to like Chris even more. She then said, "Chris is a good man. He's handsome, caring and also treats you well. You need to treat him well as well. Try and give birth to a baby soon. Well, one isn't enough. It's better if you give birth to a boy and a girl."Laura blushed a little and said, "Alright, Grandma."However, deep down, Laura sighed. 'Grandma's probably going to be disappointed. The marriage between Chris and I was only a contract marriage. We will go our separate ways sooner or later.'Laura still hadn't thought of what she was going to say to Linda when Chris and her were divorced.After talking to Linda for a while longer, it was getting late, so Laura was prepari

Liam took out a ring from his pocket and held it in front of Laura."Laura, I've had feelings for you since university. Please be my girlfriend. I'll definitely treat you well in the future. I'll do the chores, give you all the money I earn and you can do whatever you want. I just want to be with you."Outside the restaurant. When Chris arrived, he was able to see what was happening through the window. His face immediately turned cold.Inside the restaurant. The passersby, who didn't know what was going on all cheered for Liam. "Marry him! Marry him!""Oh my god! I'm so jealous. The guy's so handsome and nice. He's even willing to do the chores around the house and hand over his salary. Even I'm touched.""Marry him! Marry him!"After hearing the voices of the people around them, Laura's face turned cold as well.Liam planned on using the crowd to force Laura to accept his proposal."Laura, marry me. I know you're a nice person. I've helped you out so much during university, yo

When Chris woke up the following morning, he took out his sunglasses again."What? Didn't sleep well last night?"Looking at the dark circles around Chris's eyes, Laura cocked her brows.Chris reached out and massaged his temples before nodding his head.He suddenly wasn't able to fall asleep last night. This had never happened in the past.Chris secretly sized Laura up and down. She looked well-rested and very energetic. This made Chris a little unhappy. 'It seems that she slept quite well without being in the same room as me.'It was Sunday, so Laura didn't have to go to work. The house was getting a little dirty, so Laura decided to clean the house thoroughly.Chris saw what Laura was doing, so he went up and joined her.The flowers that were left on the balcony were already blossoming. Laura watered the plants and took a whiff of their scents.It was quite sunny today, so Laura washed all the blankets and hung them out under the sun.The house wasn't big and there weren't
