บททั้งหมดของ Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: บทที่ 821 - บทที่ 830

Mrs. Walker was from the prestigious Walker family of Sharonville - what slipped through her fingers could fund several university buildings!Can't afford to offend someone with such deep pockets!The Vice Dean was sweating profusely with anxiety.Though furious at being humiliated in front of Molly, Mrs. Walker quickly composed herself. "I see there's an important event in progress. We can tour another time."She cast a subtle glance at Molly before turning to leave.The Vice Dean hurried after her, stammering, "Mrs. Walker, the Dean didn't mean...""It's quite alright. Let's explore other areas."Mrs. Walker maintained an air of gracious dignity.Soon, accompanied by the Vice Dean, she left the auditorium.The Dean addressed the audience, "I deeply apologize for the interruption to Dr. Anderson’s lecture.""You should apologize to the students. Their time is valuable, and you've wasted it."Molly glanced at her notes, then, not giving the Dean a chance to respond, delivere

"This isn't for you to decide.""Nor is it for you."The tension between Molly and Mrs. Walker was palpable. If not for the passing pedestrians, Mrs. Walker would have already ordered David to drag Molly into the car for a "lesson.""You've stayed single all these years - still pining for Leonard Haber? Too bad. Less than a month after breaking your engagement, he married that Horrison girl and had a lovely daughter. Their daughter and Luke get along so well - they'll be engaged soon. You could see your old flame at their engagement party. Won't it be interesting to watch them all happy together while you're all alone?"Mrs. Walker was deliberately twisting the knife."Not everyone's like you, unable to exist without a man."Molly's tone remained neutral, completely unfazed by Mrs. Walker's taunts.Unsatisfied, Mrs. Walker pressed on. "What if I told you that Mrs. Haber helped arrange everything back then?""No surprise there - you're all cut from the same cloth," Molly sneered

How could anyone remain gentle after such hardship!I stayed quiet, preparing to leave."Ms. Middleton, where are you going? I can give you a ride.""My car's nearby."Emily asked if Luke had met with her."I'm not sure.""You're still upset with him! I've already explained about him and me..." Emily's face twisted with annoyance as she glanced down the street. "So irritating, being followed by this pest every day."She pointed to a Volkswagen nearby. "Jenny's people are in that car. They've been tailing me for over a week. Luke wants this handled before I leave Johnsonville.”Luke had mentioned Jenny targeting Emily."If Luke hadn't arranged this, you'd be the one being followed. He's protecting you. A man like him has predators circling - you'll regret it if you let him slip away."I remained silent."Love is between two people. Whatever I say won't matter - the decision is yours."Emily prepared to leave.Sarah and Jenny had been fighting Wendy for years - they had plen

"Mr. Walker, I'm sorry about Ian’s behavior," I said, taking Goofy's leash from Ian and offering it to Luke.Luke looked at Ian.Ian scampered to my side and tugged at my clothes. “Jen, I invited him to dinner to thank him for bringing Goofy and Doggo over."I: ...“Jen, is dinner ready? I'm hungry. When can we eat?"Ian patted his stomach as he spoke."It's ready.""Thank you for cooking!" Ian took Luke's hand. "Uncle, let's go."Luke nodded slightly."Mr. Walker, hasn't Marianne prepared your dinner?"Facing Luke always unsettled me - I didn't want to share dinner with him."She's taken leave for some family matters.""Who's Marianne?"Ian looked up at Luke, trying to get his attention."Marianne cooks, cleans, and looks after the dogs for Mr. Walker.""Are you very busy with work, Uncle?""Yes.""Who's taking care of Goofy while Marianne's away?"Ian gently petted Goofy, who stood quietly beside him.Goofy wagged her tail gently.From her expression, she clearly

I considered blurring Luke's face in the video before sending it. Mr. Lloyd had already guessed there was something undefined between Luke and me back when we were abroad. Blurring him out would be pointless denial.I sent the original video to Mr. Lloyd.In the kitchen, Luke and Ian were washing dishes together. When they emerged, their faces were covered in water droplets.Seeing water about to drip onto Ian's clothes, I quickly grabbed napkins to dry his face. "Were you washing your faces instead of the dishes?""I accidentally splashed water on Uncle's face, then he accidentally splashed me back!"Luke "accidentally"? He clearly did it on purpose!How childish of him to play games with a kid like that!So immature!Just as I finished drying Ian's face and was about to throw away the napkin, Luke caught my hand and used it to wipe his own face."The napkins are right here - dry yourself."His sudden intimate gesture made my heart skip a beat.I quickly pulled my hand away
