Semua Bab A Heartwarming Marriage: Bab 421 - Bab 430

Zachary pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek and looked at Lucille meaningfully. "Everyone says you've hit the jackpot by marrying into the Layton family, Luce, but I think a certain someone is the one who's hit the jackpot with you."The news of Lucille's triumph over the virus soon spread throughout Dark Chamber. She and Spencer didn't stay for long. On their way home, she asked, "Oh, right. I saw an image of a beast on the two helicopters earlier. What was it?""A griffin."A griffin? She asked tentatively, "The guardian of treasures and places of power?"Spencer smiled at her. "You're very smart, Mrs. Layton."It was no wonder she'd found it familiar. Jonathan had shown it to her in the past. "I only know of it because Jonathan's interested in these mythical creatures. Does it represent anything?"Spencer said, "As you said, griffins guard treasures and places of power. The way I see it, justice and equality are also priceless treasures."Lucille asked, "So, yo

Taylor didn't seem to mind. He merely smiled and said, "You're not only beautiful, Ms. Johnson. You're also quick on your feet."Lucille smiled faintly, but it was one of mockery. "Sorry, but you can't even compare to a hair on my husband's head. What makes you think I'd choose you over him? I'm not blind or dumb."Taylor fell silent. Sabrina hadn't expected Lucille to be gutsy enough to talk back to Taylor. The first time she'd met him, she'd been frightened by the ruthlessness he exuded. But she'd had no choice but to work with him so she could get rid of Lucille.It probably hadn't occurred to Sabrina that it wasn't likely Lucille would be scared of someone like Taylor if she could be with a man like Spencer."How dare you speak to our boss like that?" a man in black standing beside Taylor roared.It didn't do anything to scare Lucille. On the contrary, Sabrina was the one who got startled.Taylor held up a hand, and the man backed down. The former smiled devilishly at Lucille

Taylor hadn't expected Lucille to throw the Layton family's rules at him. He forced the words out through gritted teeth, asking, "You played me?"The menacing look on his face didn't faze Lucille. She said flippantly, "How can you say that, little Taylor? At most, we have varying intelligence levels and understand things differently."Then, she gave him an astonished look. "Wait, don't tell me you really think of me that way? I'm your cousin's wife!"She'd brought up the fact that she was Spencer's wife again. Taylor wasn't a fool. If he could choose to make an enemy out of Spencer, he couldn't be idiotic enough not to understand that Lucille was indirectly mocking him.His expression was dark, but he knew that he'd be walking right into her trap if he were to allow himself to get mad.Suddenly, he burst out laughing. Yet, the odd atmosphere didn't ease up at that. He had a huge smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes. He knew he couldn't show anyone that he was genuinely

Lucille smiled at Taylor. "You still don't know me well enough, little Taylor. As everyone says, it's hard to understand women. I would say I don't really have any bad habits, except one—I never know what's good for me!"Taylor didn't know what to say. He detected a hint of arrogance and wildness in her. How could a woman be so calm and elegant while also proud and unrestrained? He'd never met anyone like her before. How was she doing it?Just then, a scream rent the air. "T-There's a tiger! It's huge!"A man in black who'd been standing guard outside scrambled into the room, his face filled with terror. He was shaking so violently that he could barely get the words out.Everyone turned to look at him and saw a huge white tiger appear before them. Their eyes widened in shock, and they forgot to breathe for a split second. Terror and fear washed over them. Even Taylor was dumbstruck; Sabrina collapsed on the ground in fear.Caesar's head was slightly bowed, and his eyes were fill

Spencer's gaze looked particularly bewitching, and Lucille couldn't resist his charm.Their faces were reflected in their eyes, and it was all they saw; it was as if no one else existed around them.Spencer smirked as he leaned closer to her. His lips brushed against her ear. With a mischievous and sexy voice, he whispered in her ear.The next moment, Lucille's cheeks looked flushed. She gently hit his chest with her fist as she said coquettishly, "Stop it, seriously." Her punch didn't hurt at all. Instead, Spencer felt ticklish. He couldn't help but fall even more deeply in love with her when he saw her shy expression."I'm also a part of this family. That's such a lewd punishment. I object." After saying that, she pulled away from him and walked toward the living room, mumbling to herself. She knew he was trying to use a subtle approach to take advantage of her for his own benefit.He immediately followed after her. As he watched her alluring figure, his eyes glinted, and he
