All Chapters of Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: Chapter 581 - Chapter 590

I had just hung up the phone when Luke's car pulled up in front of me. He glanced at the neatly arranged flowers on the ground, his brows furrowing tightly."I’ve already asked the property management to have someone clean it up," I said as I opened the car door and got in, realizing that I had indirectly told Luke I didn’t like those flowers.As I buckled my seatbelt, I paused for a moment.Luke seemed amused by my words. "How about having breakfast at Bella’s? They have great omelets.""You usually prefer a light breakfast."I enjoyed a variety of foods and disliked having the same thing every day. Whenever I had breakfast at Luke’s place, Marianne, the housekeeper, would always prepare different dishes for me. No matter how good Marianne's cooking was, she couldn’t change the fact that Luke’s usual breakfast—a plain piece of toast—tasted as boring as it looked.And Luke never seemed to find it dull.Sometimes, I felt embarrassed by the assortment of dishes in front of me comp

If the truth of what happened back then could be uncovered, the Kingston family would become a target, and Carter's backing would crumble. He wouldn't have the energy for these antics.Noticing my expression change, the receptionist nervously said, "Next time this happens, I'll contact you immediately, Ms. Middleton.""Please call the police and inform them I've received a suspicious package." The receptionist didn't know about my issues with Carter, so I gave her a reassuring smile."Of course, Ms. Middleton.""Thank you."This morning, I arrived at the office with Luke. Before entering the elevator, Luke received a call, so I went up first. While I was chatting with the receptionist, he walked in slowly, his gaze falling on the gift still on the reception desk. I shifted slightly to block his view.My obvious attempt to hide it made Luke immediately realize the gift was from Carter.Indeed, my ability to think clearly always diminishes around Luke, and I end up acting on insti

After the attending physician left, Wendy sat on the bed, staring at me wide-eyed."Wendy, avoiding the issue isn't the solution."Sooner or later, she'd have to tell me!Wendy racked her brain and finally blurted out, "I'm planning to do a good deed.""You often do good deeds, Wendy." Wendy frequently participated in educational charity events."This good deed is different. It's a big sacrifice for me."Wendy was being evasive, reluctant to give details.I stared at her silently."Sweetie, if you keep staring at me like that, I'll get shy." She covered her face, pretending to be coy. She was joking around, trying to dodge the issue."Wendy..." I drawled."I'll tell you the truth! I'm planning to do a bone marrow match.""Match with whom?" Joey! I exclaimed in surprise, "You're Rh-negative?"I'd seen Wendy's medical reports before, which clearly stated she was Type O!"I didn't mean to hide the blood type thing from you." Wendy rubbed her nose. "I'm my mom's only daughter.

"Thank you, Wendy."Wendy was like a little sun, always warming my heart."I'm not helping you; I'm just doing a good deed. Why are you thanking me?" Wendy said expectantly. "If my small act of kindness helps Officer Miller solve a cold case, I can brag about it for the rest of my life."Wendy said this to ease my mind, but her thoughtfulness always made me emotional, almost breaking down my defenses."The water's so refreshing. Would you mind pouring me another glass, sweetie?"Wendy handed me her empty glass.I took it, saying, "I'll contact Dr. Thompson later.""Thanks for your trouble, Jen."After pouring Wendy another glass of water, I called Dr. Thompson.Dr. Thompson's medical skills were recognized by Luke. Once he examined Wendy and confirmed she was healthy enough for bone marrow donation, we could discuss making a deal with Joey. We couldn't take Wendy's health lightly.After spending the whole morning in the hospital, Wendy was bored and pleaded with me to let her

Joey looked at Carter with fury.Carter was pleased with her reaction, lowering his head with a smug smile. "How has the high and mighty Editor-in-Chief fallen so low?""If you don't move, I'm calling for help!""Go ahead and call! I remember you used to call out so passionately."Carter's tone was lewd, giving Joey a look only she understood.People occasionally passed by in the hospital corridor, some stopping briefly to watch.Joey and Carter weren't speaking loudly, and Carter's gestures were ambiguous. His slightly tilted body blocked most of Joey's face, making uninformed onlookers think they might be a couple having an intimate conversation, so they didn't pay much attention.Joey's suppressed emotions erupted like a volcano. "Carter, you're despicable!""Isn't that what you like about me?" Seeing Joey's anger, Carter became even more brazen, reaching out to lift her chin.Slap!Joey swatted his hand away.Wendy and I held our breath, able to hear their entire conversation clear
