All Chapters of A Heartwarming Marriage: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

Once Corey took his seat, he became quiet and silently indulged in the food. The people around him were baffled by his actions.After the dinner, Ian was the first to leave, followed by Ethan and Zachary. Bailey didn't want to go at first because she wanted to stay for the gossip, but Lucas pulled her to leave without hesitation. Patrick, too, was ready to leave. He gazed at Lucille gently and said, "Blake and I will head back to our hotel, Lucy."She smiled. "Okay. Rest well tonight. I'll see you tomorrow."Patrick grunted. "See you." Then, he silently glanced at Spencer before leaving.At that moment, only Robert, Shirley, Spencer, Lucille, and the motionless Corey remained in the room. "Lucy, Spencer, we'll get going as well." Robert rose to his feet, and Shirley naturally followed suit. To her surprise, Corey didn't stop her this time. Despite her shock, she breathed a sigh of relief."Sure, Robert. Let me see you out." Lucille stood up, and Spencer followed her lead.Mea

Shirley halted her steps. Faced with the smirking man who greeted her, she couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it all to hell! How on earth did I run into him here? Is he a hunting dog? Is that how he found me? With his nose?"Then, she glanced at the seat beside him. It was numbered 22. She cursed once more. As if running into him wasn't enough, she also had to sit with him. Due to Robert's prestigious status, he was seated a row before her. Hence, she couldn't switch seats with him. "Come on, sit. I won't bite," Corey said obnoxiously and patted on seat 22 beside him after seeing her stunned expression. Shirley rolled her eyes at him without a care. She relaxed and tightened her fists repeatedly while reminding herself, "Stay cool and breezy. No anger, no wrinkles." After chanting that numerous times, she felt a lot better. She strode forward and turned to sit on seat 25, three chairs away from him.Corey's dark gaze stared at her, and he pursed his lips, displaying his

The people gathered at the venue gasped at the scene. The young couple had taken the seats right in the center. The woman in particular had taken the seat in the very middle.Someone asked, "Who's that woman? Why is she sitting in such an important seat when she's so young?""Who cares? I have to say, she's gorgeous," another responded."Anyone who can sit there is basically a genius in the research world," a third said.Meanwhile, the people who knew Lucille were stunned. Ethan gaped at her and asked, "What's Luce doing here? And why's she in the main seat?"Zachary and Lucas also watched Lucille curiously. What was going on?All three of them turned to look at Spencer, who looked calm and composed. His eyes were bright as he focused his gaze on Lucille.It looked like he'd long since known she would be there. The realization dawned on the three men—they now knew why Spencer had insisted on attending this conference when he usually hated these things. It was yet another way o

"Patrick Horton is such a nice name. I hereby announce that Ricky is the man of my dreams and my idol!""What I want to know is which door God has closed for my lover boy.""The one that allows you to marry him.""Hahaha! That's so mean!"The viewers chatted away. Meanwhile, the backend staff watched as the livestream chat went from talking about the actual convention to discussing Patrick's looks. They rubbed their eyes to make sure they weren't seeing things, and indeed, they weren't.In that instant, everyone understood that the viewers had come to check Patrick out. Well, that was none of the staff members' business. It was great that they had gotten more viewers without needing to spend a dime. They'd take what they could get.Thanks to this, the cameras basically zoomed in on Patrick's face. Some eagle-eyed viewers noticed there were several more handsome guys seated in the arena. Everyone had thought only old folks would attend such a convention. Who would've known there

"Be honest with me—Luce isn't human, right?" Ethan felt a chill run down his spine as soon as the words were out of his mouth. This was followed by a look so sharp that it made him feel like he'd been stabbed.Zachary gave him a look as though saying, "You're on your own, mate." At the same time, Spencer gave him an icy look. He didn't follow up with anything else, but it was enough to make Ethan gulp.He had reason to believe that if not for this being the wrong place and the fact that he and Spencer were good friends, the latter would've killed him.In truth, he hadn't meant anything negative with his question. It was just that Lucille was involved in such different fields that it didn't seem like something humanly possible. It was almost like her genes were completely different from the rest of the Johnson family's.Why else would they have been biased against her since she was a child? And why would they go around ruining her reputation, even going so far as to sever ties with
