Semua Bab A Heartwarming Marriage: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Yet, when Lucille went to the window, she didn't see anything outside. She frowned. Had she been hallucinating? Why did she feel like she'd heard a beast's roar?She was about to turn away and return to bed when the bedroom door creaked open. She instantly noticed it and whipped around. Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the huge tiger that had suddenly appeared in the room.His fur was snow-white—there wasn't a single strand that was different or out of place.Lucille stiffened. Why was there a tiger in the manor?Only a thin sheet of glass stood between her and the tiger. The tiger bared his teeth at Lucille and growled fiercely as if she'd intruded on his territory. His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at her.Lucille didn't move. She watched the tiger for a while before mouthing, "Let's have a nice chat, Mr. Tiger."She was infinitely grateful to Roger Gill, who'd forced her to learn animal taming from him for a month. If not for that, she wouldn't be able

At 11:30 am, Lucille received a call from Spencer. After a few sentences, she realized that he sounded a little weird. "Did you catch a cold? Why do you sound a little hoarse?"Spencer had just woken up and had a low fever because of his injury. So, his voice sounded different. He said, "I'm fine. I just talked a bit too much during a meeting."Afraid that she would worry, he added, "Don't you worry about me. I'm as healthy as can be—nothing will affect your future quality of life."Mack happened to enter the room just then. He'd brought Spencer a glass of water. His lips twitched when he heard the latter's words. He had to applaud Spencer for being able to act like he was fine just so Lucille wouldn't realize he was injured.Marvonia and Whiteloop City were in different timezones—it was 3:30 am for them, and Spencer had gotten up to call Lucille without getting any proper rest.For some reason, Lucille's mind went down the gutter when she heard Spencer's words. She couldn't hel

"Lulu, I'll be making a stop at Summeria in a few days for an event. I want to see you," a woman said.When Lucille heard the woman's voice on the other end of the line, her expression turned into a mixture of tenderness and affection, which was a rare sight.She said, "Sure. How have you been lately? Have you felt any discomfort anywhere? Remember to stop for a break whenever you get tired, okay? Ask Sandra to rearrange your schedule so it isn't too packed."It wasn't every day that one got to see Lucille being so long-winded. She was like a concerned mother nagging her children.But Jessica Larson, the woman on the other end of the line, was evidently used to it. "Alright, alright. Don't worry about me, Lulu. I'm perfect!"They chatted for a while longer until Jessica was called away by her assistant. After hanging up, Lucille made another call.It was soon answered. "Hey, Ten. What's up?"Lucille didn't beat around the bush. "How's Jessica been lately?""She just had a medic

Lucille woke up at 8:00 am. She hadn't had a good night's sleep—she vaguely recalled dreaming throughout the night but couldn't remember what it had been about.She washed up and changed before heading downstairs for breakfast. Jonathan was already waiting for her there.She and Bailey would be heading to West Yodran that afternoon so they could celebrate Eunice's birthday with her on the dot. She'd considered taking Jonathan along, but she was worried he wouldn't be used to it and would be bored. After all, it would only be the three of them.Eunice had mentioned in their group chat last night that she'd settled on a bar for her birthday celebration. Hence, Lucille had immediately shoved all thoughts of taking Jonathan along out of her mind.After breakfast, she spoke to Jonathan. "I won't be back tonight. I'm going somewhere to celebrate a friend's birthday. I wanted to take you along, but that place isn't suitable for you. Besides, it'll only be us women. So I'm going to have

It was still the early hours of the morning, and the bar was still packed with people. The atmosphere was so intense that it sent people into a daze. The air was filled with the scent of smoke and alcohol. The music was turned up to the maximum. Good-looking men and women continued to party on the dance floor as if they had boundless energy and never got tired. Perhaps this was how they vented unwinded.The bar never lacked drunkards. Lucille and Eunice helped Bailey move across the lobby. They had barely taken a few steps when someone blocked their path."Hey, gorgeous. Leaving so soon?"A young man, Melvin Bardot, dressed in branded clothes, shot a teasing grin at Lucille and the others, while someone behind him whistled. At this moment, Eunice was slightly sober. Since she was older than Lucille and Bailey, she naturally took the lead in such a situation.She stepped forward and said to Melvin, "Sir, could you please move aside? My friend is drunk, and we need to take her
