All Chapters of A Heartwarming Marriage: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

After lunch, Lucille walked around Spencer's office. It was her first time there, and she hadn't gotten a proper look earlier. Now that she had time, she explored the space in detail.It turned out to be as expected of an investor of other businesses. The office was several times bigger than hers. Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to walk around and explore the space. The office had all the necessities: a break room, a kitchen, rows of bookshelves, and display cabinets with various items.Lucille stood before one of the bookshelves with both hands behind her back. With a sigh of surprise, she remarked, "The office of an investor like yourself is really something else."Spencer, who was sitting on the couch not far from her, chuckled upon hearing that. "I can give this office to you if you want it. I'm yours, anyway."Lucille spun around to face him. She pursed her lips, sighed lightly, then said, "No thanks. I can't handle such a big corporation. I should just stick with runnin

Bailey: "I'm only 24, but my mom's desperate for me to get married this instant. Oh, the misery!"Lucille: "Dang. What are you going to do now?"That was when Bailey tagged Eunice. "Eunie, are you coming back for Thanksgiving?"She'd only realized after sending it that she shouldn't have asked Eunice that. Alas, Eunice had already responded to her.Eunice: "Nope. Your Uncle Ian declared that I can never step foot into Moore Manor."Embarrassment and deep guilt were like termites gnawing at Bailey's chest. "I'm really sorry, Eunie. I shouldn't have asked that.""Silly girl. There's nothing to be sorry about. All of the Moore family knows about it anyway. So, it's not a secret." Eunice was incredibly understanding.She continued, "Don't worry about it. I'm fine. It's been many years, so I've long gotten used to it. Besides, I have nothing to hide when I'm with you two. I'm actually happy I can chat with you guys, even if it's only sometimes. "However, I should still warn you guy

At 6:00 pm, a small crowd gathered in the lobby of JM Corporation Tower. They were all eager to catch a glimpse of the CEO's wife.Little did they know that Spencer had already left with Lucille through the underground garage.…The next day, it was Thanksgiving.After breakfast, Lucille and Spencer headed straight to Harmony Sanitorium to pick up Marie and take her to Layton Manor.Since the extended Layton family would be visiting that evening, and Marie preferred quiet, they planned to take her over just for lunch.Surprisingly, they ran into William, Ivy, Sabrina, and Harold at the entrance of the sanitorium.As cars weren't allowed in, there was a designated parking area outside. As soon as Lucille stepped out of the car, she saw the four of them standing near the security booth.Her brows knitted slightly; she didn't want Spencer to encounter them, but it seemed too late. Sabrina had already spotted her and was heading her way.At the same time, Spencer got out of the ca

Marie hurriedly waved her hand. "Don't call me that. I'm not fit to be your mother."Ivy's face turned pale with stiffness.Similarly, Sabrina, who'd been about to address Marie, found herself unable to speak.William's expression soured as he attempted to reason with Marie. "Mom, it's been so many years. Can't you accept Ivy and Sabrina by now?"Marie responded calmly, "My acceptance is irrelevant since you and your father have already done it.""Also, you don't need to visit me anymore. I'm doing just fine," Marie added decisively. "And stop bothering Lucy. I was the one who refused to see all of you."Throughout the conversation, Marie didn't spare so much as an extra glance toward Ivy, Harold, or Sabrina. She'd long seen their true colors.Only the foolish Horace and William would believe Ivy's and Sabrina's words."Let's go now. We shouldn't keep others waiting," Marie urged, turning to Lucille with a look of kindness and affection.But she remained utterly dismissive of

"Did you already know that Grandma and your grandpa knew each other? Was setting us up also your plan?" Lucille asked, surprised that Spencer showed no astonishment.Spencer smiled and countered, "And what about you? Why aren't you surprised either?"How petty of him! She was the one who'd asked first.Lucille replied, "Last time we had dinner with Grandma, she mentioned over the phone that she and Grandpa had known each other a long time ago. To be precise, she was good friends with your grandma."Spencer wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked into the courtyard together. He said casually, "Well, I found out a little earlier than you did."Lucille furrowed her brows slightly and turned to look at him. "And when was that?"She had a feeling his response would be peculiar, and sure enough, his next words left her speechless."Probably when I was around six years old. My grandma was hospitalized once due to illness, and your grandma came to visit," Spencer explained."An
