The sound of a chicken clucking then sounded. Chris's face darkened. "What did you just hand me?"Laura opened the bag and patted the hen inside. "It's just a chicken. The scooter's basket is filled with pots and pans. The chicken won't fit. You're going to have to hold it on the way back home. Don't worry. It's all tied up. All you have to do is to hold it tightly and it won't be able to hurt you."Chris had never even held a chicken's feather let alone a live chicken.However, ever since Laura appeared in his life, he would eat breakfast from a roadside stall and ride an electric scooter home. Now, he was even holding a chicken on the way home!Chris's chest heaved up and down. Laura gave him a puzzled look. "What's wrong? What's up with the look on your face?""Nothing." Chris forced a smile on his face. He didn't want Laura to know what he was thinking, so he quickly sat in the passenger seat of the scooter. "Let's go. It's getting late. We should go home and get some rest."

Shona appeared at the door of the ward. She had her chin raised. The clothes she was wearing seemed to be brand new. She also had a bad and was wearing a pair of black high heels. She then walked into the room coquettishly.The smile on Linda's face immediately disappeared when she saw Shona. "Why are you here?""Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean why am I here? Of course, I came here to visit you!" Shona walked up to Linda's bed."I don't need you to come and visit me." Linda knew full well what kind of person Shona was.She had never liked this woman from the start, but her son loved this woman, so there was nothing she could do. In the end, she allowed her son and this woman to be married. However, the result was that this woman ruined her family for so many years."Mom, you can't stop me from being filial," Shona said unhappily. "There's one more thing, Mom. Do you like my new outfit? And this bag? Luke's girlfriend bought these for me. The child is good-looking

Chris understood what Laura meant. He then squeezed his finger pulp and nodded.When the two of them returned home, Chris lowered his head, took out his phone and sent a text to his assistant. "Find a top medical team and tell them to go to the Empfield Royal Infirmary to treat my wife's grandmother. Put all the money spent on my tab."After sending the text, Chris raised his head and looked at Laura. "Do you have time this evening?""I do, why?" Laura was a little puzzled.Chris changed into his indoor slippers and walked towards his room. "Attend a banquet with me. I need a female companion.""Huh?" Laura was dumbfounded. "What banquet? A business banquet?""Yes," Chris answered indifferently.The type of banquet that Laura had attended the most would be the banquets of her friends' weddings. She had never participated in business banquets in the past.Deep down, Laura didn't really want to go."Are you going with Mr. Jacobs?" asked Laura.She felt that if Chris was going w

Chris was confused at first, but he soon realized what Laura was talking about.He realized that Laura thought that he was unhappy because his business didn't go as planned.Chris pursed his lips. He seemed to want to say something to Laura, but Laura's voice sounded again. "Goodnight, Mr. Jacobs."This caused Chris to swallow the words he was about to say. He then said, "Goodnight."On the morning of the next day.Laura yawned and rubbed her eyes as she got out of bed. Coincidentally, Chris had just returned from his morning jog.He was wearing a vest. This meant that his arms were exposed and they displayed perfectly built muscles.There was sweat on his handsome face as well. Chris then lifted one of his hands to ruffle his hair. He took a set of fresh clothes and rushed to the bathroom.Laura saw what he was doing and asked, "What do you want for breakfast? I've made some oat porridge.""Oat porridge is fine." Chris nodded his head.When he came out of the bathroom, Laura

Moreover, Laura and Chris were only in a contract marriage.Laura took a deep breath, but Shona was infuriated by Laura's words.'She's such a money waster!' Shona cursed inwardly.She wanted to continue to scold Laura, but didn't dare to try to hit her again.However, before Shona could say anything, Jessica grabbed her hand. "Mrs. Walker, I think we should go. There are too many people watching..."There were a lot of people looking at them. Jessica felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to stay any longer.Shona didn't want to leave just like that, but Jessica had spoken. Jessica was her future daughter-in-law, so she had to listen to Jessica."Just you wait!" Shone glared at Laura and then held Jessica's hand as she left.Jessica smiled apologetically at Laura.After leaving the shopping center, Jessica pretended to say unintentionally to Shona, "Mrs. Walker, I think it's better to speak reasonably with Laura. She ignored your words when you were being too domineering o
