로그인At Noelle's words, the elders exchanged glances and smiled.Noelle had finally let go of her worries and no longer questioned whether she was worthy of Laurence.Jane said, "Laurence, when are you going to propose to Noelle? Once you two have settled your marriage, it'll be time for us to head home too. We've been here so long that Ben is starting to complain."Actually, the main reason was that they were planning a trip together next month. They intended to travel for several months and return home around the holidays.Laurence looked at Noelle, his eyes crinkling in a smile. "I'll start by taking Noelle on some dates. We've never been apart and spend every day together, but we've never actually gone on dates."I want to experience what dating feels like too."I'll propose after we've been on a few dates. In any case, I won't let Noelle down. For the rest of my life, I'll give her all my tenderness and no one else."Noelle's cheeks turned slightly red.Serenity laughed. "Jane,
The bodyguard did not know where Manny was going, but it likely had to do with antiques.Laurence had made it clear that once he moved into the ancestral estate, he would hire experts to authenticate every decorative piece inside. They would verify each item whether anything had been replaced. If they discovered any authentic pieces were missing, he would report it to the police.Tony's family was now in a difficult position.If they did not spend a fortune buying back the genuine antiques they had sold, Laurence would report them to the police. They would be charged with theft, and given the enormous value of the items involved, they could face severe sentences.However, buying back the antiques would cost them a great deal of money. They also had to do it in secret without Laurence finding out. If he caught them in the act, he would send them to prison all the same.Laurence did not return just to become the head of the Longbottom family, for he had also come to avenge his famil
"Sure. We'll travel the country first, then explore the rest of the world."Zachary casually made another grand promise.Serenity said, "I've been hearing your promises for years, but I still haven't seen any of them come true. It's easy to just say stuff. You need to walk the talk.""There's not much going on at home anyway. It'll be fine even if we're away for a whole year."Although Serenity was the lady of the York household, her sisters-in-law were perfectly capable.Besides, her parents-in-law could step in if necessary. After they retired, Liam and Tania had also taken a few trips, though they did not spend nearly as much time traveling as Jane's biological parents. They still worried about the family and usually went away only once or twice a year.They spent the rest of their time in Wildridge Manor, and came to the city whenever they got bored.Some of the youngest generation, like Koben, were still very young. The elders could not bear to be away from the child for to
"Noelle, finished eating? Come sit."Spotting Noelle, Lilian called her over.Noelle walked over and greeted each of the elders respectfully."How was it? Did you enjoy the food?" Jane asked, "Austin personally cooked tonight's dinner."Noelle replied, "It was delicious. Uncle Austin's cooking has never disappointed us."Of all the food she had eaten in her life, the best was made by Austin.No wonder Isabella now only ate food her husband cooked. She could barely stomach anything prepared by anyone else.Isabella had always been accustomed to the finer things in life.During Laurence’s occasional visits to Satbury, Noelle would accompany him, giving her a chance to enjoy Austin's cooking.Back then, she had insisted on maintaining her position as a servant and refused to eat at the same table as Laurence. However, Isabella and Austin would invite her inside to join them for meals. She was stubborn and unyielding in front of Laurence, but she could never bring herself to be th
After Noelle finished her soup, she picked up her fork and transferred some of the food on her plate to Laurence. "I haven't eaten yet, so the fork is clean."I can't finish all of this food, so stop serving me more. I'll help myself."The dishes really were all her favorites.Noelle belatedly realized that ever since Jane and the others arrived, almost everything served at the dining table had been food she liked.She was deeply grateful for the affection Jane and Lilian showed her.The Johnson family was not her family by blood, but they gave her the warmth and comfort of a home. Whenever she returned to FC Manor with Laurence, everyone treated her wonderfully. It felt like they doted on her more than they did Laurence."Okay."Laurence did not stop her from transferring the food and instead pushed his plate closer to make it easier for her.The two of them shared the food that had been piled on Noelle's plate.After dinner, Laurence cleared away the dishes while Noelle carr
Once they entered the house, Jane urged Laurence and Noelle to eat.The ledgers were placed on the coffee table, and the elders casually flipped through them. Jane closed the book in her hands and said, "These books are so perfect that anyone who knows what they're doing would immediately realize that something is wrong. Someone unfamiliar with bookkeeping would just think the records are incredibly thorough."Serenity said, "Exactly. It's obvious that something is off. Laurence is doing the right thing by auditing the accounts first. Whether it's the family's internal accounts or the company's finances, everything needs to be reviewed."It's not just about finding faults with his enemies. He needs to know exactly where things stand."Lilian chimed in. "That's right. Laurence understands that."She flipped through the ledgers again. "But he brought back so many at once. When will he even finish reviewing them?""He said Noelle will look through them. These are the accounts for th
Alex said, “Don’t bring any. I’m already drinking some iron-replenishing soup every day.”He glanced at Stanley.Prepared by Stanley, two out of his three daily meals included soup. After drinking it for so many days, he was starting to get tired of it.“You know, you guys can just come empty-han
He had fully paid for an apartment in a certain residential complex in Wiltspoon, bought a car worth over thirty thousand bucks in full, and had some savings in the bank. Considering he had started from nothing and worked his way up to having a home, a car, and savings, he had already done quite wel
“I’m not asking you to get involved. I just wanted to tell you about it.”Zachary turned to kiss his wife. “Since you’re still so energetic, let’s go for another round.”Serenity was speechless.They had another round of sex.After that, Serenity did not talk to Zachary and simply fell asleep.
It tasted as bitter as his emotions at that moment.The words Sheila spoke before she left meant she had guessed what he and Mary had done the night before. She probably knew something through Mary as well. Kent did touch Mary. Although they did not cross the final line, he had touched and kissed
