All Chapters of Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: Chapter 461 - Chapter 470

Wendy wasn't the type to sit idly by. Her lack of interest in fighting for inheritance didn't mean she'd allow others to bully or scheme against her.Whatever choice she made, the path ahead would be fraught with thorns and dangers, full of challenges."Everyone has their own path to walk. What we can do is lend a hand when she needs help," Luke said.His words reminded me of my own painful experiences, when he and Wendy had reached out at the right moment to pull me out of the mire. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would have taken me to climb out of that abyss.Luke had always struggled to break free from the shackles of the Walker family. Though they weren't all-powerful, their influence was not to be underestimated.Luke's journey to where he is today involved hardships beyond imagination. I felt an inexplicable surge of sympathy and blurted out, "When you faced difficulties, did anyone help you?""Hanque's breakthrough was thanks to you," he replied."It was Jon's arriva

Professor Kiliney and Grandpa Shaw had returned to Brookshire and had been trying to conduct video lessons online these past few days.With Penelope's companionship, Jon was adapting well. At this rate, Professor Kiliney would soon be able to formally begin Jon's lessons.Joey's recent actions had undoubtedly created another obstacle for Jon's studies."I know you and Joey don't get along. I had no choice but to call you," Penelope said."Your call came at the right time.""Do you have a way to make Joey focus on her treatment and stop troubling Jon?"Jon was like a blank slate, and after spending so much time with him, Penelope had become very protective. She couldn't bear to see him hurt, and her urgent tone was tinged with hope."We need to find out why she's doing this and then address the root cause.""Isn't she doing this because she's scared after getting injured and wants family by her side? Does she have any family besides Jon?""She's aware of Jon's condition. His pr

Luke placed his hand on my shoulder. "If you catch a cold, you won't be able to work, and I'll have a lot more on my plate.""I can go back and put on another layer."Standing close, I could smell the faint scent of his cologne.I instinctively stepped back, and Luke slightly tightened his grip on my shoulder. "Jen, my time isn't meant to be wasted on trivial matters like this.""I'm sorry, Mr. Walker. I didn't mean to cause any trouble."Luke was incredibly busy, and his time was precious. My tone was apologetic."You're my assistant. Your good health is beneficial to me.""I'll take good care of myself and try not to fall ill.""Let's go!"Luke had a home gym where he usually trained.I followed him into the living room.Marianne was busy in the kitchen. Hearing us, she came out and was delighted to see me. "Ms. Middleton is here! I'll whip up some breakfast for you!""Marianne…”"I made that custard you love. You should have plenty later.""Thank you, Marianne.”I cou

Before I knew Luke was the man from that night, I felt very safe around him.I couldn't say that out loud."With Mr. Walker as my trainer, I'll have a strong physique in no time.""Sounds like it's better for you to stay by my side. I already have someone in mind for the inspection role.""I'll follow your lead, Mr. Walker."Luke came to the treadmill and glanced at the display.The speed was embarrassingly slow. My pride kicked in, and I wanted to cover the display. Seeing Luke notice my movement, I quickly put my hands behind my back, trying to act as if nothing had happened.Flustered, I forgot I was still on the treadmill. My feet stopped moving, and I lost my balance.Falling on a treadmill is no joke!I yelped in surprise. Just as I was about to fall, Luke quickly wrapped his arm around my waist and lifted me off the treadmill effortlessly.His body was hot from exercising, radiating heat. Our bodies were pressed together, and the wave of warmth made me flush all over.

At noon, Luke and I arrived at the restaurant where the Royal Chef's head chef was located.The restaurant was not crowded. Following the waiter's lead, we went to the leftmost private room on the second floor.Luke had called ahead, so as soon as we sat down, the dishes started arriving one after another.Before coming, I had asked Luke's permission to contact Wendy.Wendy also had a soft spot for Royal Chef's cuisine. When she learned she could taste the chef's specialties in Johnsonville, she was thrilled.I sent the restaurant's address to her phone."Sweetie, I'm sorry to tell you that I have work to deal with and won't be able to enjoy this feast," Wendy replied.Wendy switched emotions effortlessly. She said pitifully, "Heaven must be testing me with great responsibility, first by tormenting my spirit and exhausting my body. I'll endure!"If Wendy had said this before joining the family business, I would have bantered with her. Now, with her fighting alone, I felt both w
