Semua Bab A Heartwarming Marriage: Bab 281 - Bab 290

In truth, there was no need for Charles to thank Lucille. His company was one of the companies that had caught her eye right from the start.He was actually better at covering his tracks than anyone else she knew. He'd hidden himself so thoroughly that she'd never have known the company was his if he hadn't let her in on the secret.…That night, an unwelcome guest showed up at Sparrow Residence. Well, maybe he wasn't exactly unwelcome. The guest was Seth, after all.Lucille was the first to arrive home. As soon as she entered the manor, she saw Seth sprawled on the couch.She approached him and narrowed her eyes at him, watching him play with his phone. "What are you doing here?"He looked up at her voice and immediately sat up straight. "Hi, Lucille."She hummed in acknowledgment and sat on the couch across from him. Then, she glanced at the black suitcase by the couch and asked, "Have you run away from home?"He placed his phone on the couch beside him and smiled, looking a

Seth witnessed an abrupt change in Spencer's expression and bearing. Then, the latter immediately noticed when Lucille came downstairs and got up to head over to her."Why didn't you sleep in a little later?" He caressed the back of her head, his eyes filled with love and tenderness. His actions were gentle and affectionate.Lucille cleared her throat a little awkwardly. Spencer had kept her up until the wee hours of the night, but she'd been a little embarrassed to sleep in too late since Seth was now staying with them. She said, "I was hungry, so I couldn't sleep anymore."Spencer didn't miss the trace of shyness that flitted past her eyes. Lucille was a strong and beautiful career woman to the rest of the world—only when she was with him did she reveal her shy side. He loved seeing this side of her.Seth watched them, suddenly thinking that agreeing to Lila's request to move into Sparrow Residence hadn't been the smartest choice. Didn't this mean he'd have to witness Spencer a

Gabriel and George were surprised to see Lucille at the hospital. She narrowed their eyes at them as something suddenly occurred to her. They were both Lawtons, and so was Claire. Things couldn't be that much of a coincidence, could they?Lucille looked at George and asked, "Are you here to see Claire, Commander Lawton?"Gabriel was surprised she knew George and Claire. George nodded and said, "She's my sister."Lucille didn't expect that answer. She turned to look at Gabriel. "And this is…"He knew she didn't want people to know they were acquainted, so he went along with her. "Nice to meet you. I'm Gabriel Lawton, George and Claire's uncle."Lucille fell silent. So, they really were a family. The world was truly such a small place—Neal was Claire's maternal uncle, and Gabriel was her paternal uncle.Judging from these relationships alone, it seemed Claire came from quite a powerful background. As far as she was aware, the Addams and Lawton families had many people in politics

The training grounds were filled with people. A crowd was gathered around the ring, and they were all shouting at the top of their lungs."Go, Mrs. Layton!""You're amazing, Mrs. Layton!""You're my idol, Mrs. Layton!"There were more cheers like that. Mack and the others stood before the railing on the second floor and gaped at the scene below. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this was the liveliest boxing match they'd ever seen.Then, they saw Spencer's expression darken even more. They didn't know whether it was because he was worried about Lucille or because he was jealous.Spencer didn't immediately stop the match. Instead, he stood there like a king and looked down at the match on the first floor. In the ring stood a woman dressed in all-black. She wore tight black pants and a long-sleeved black T-shirt.Perhaps it was because the T-shirt's hem was too long—she'd tied it into a knot beside her waist, showing it off. It was so slender that it was almost it could snap

After a brief silence, Lucille looked up at Spencer and asked a little embarrassedly, "Does it hurt?"Her voice was lowered, but it did nothing to hide the allure and tenderness in it. When she spoke, her breath fanned over his Adam's apple, making his heart tingle. His Adam's apple bobbed subconsciously.Lucille panicked a little at his silence. She was about to get up to check on his back—she was sure she'd heard him grunt—but as soon as she moved, he tightened his grip on her waist, keeping her in place.Then, he said, "Don't move. I'm fine. Let's talk like this.""Are you really okay?" She reached out to feel his back as she spoke.Spencer's temples throbbed. She was doing this on purpose, wasn't she? He suppressed the desire burning within him and kept his expression icy. "Have you developed an addiction to lying to me, Mrs. Layton?"When she'd yelped earlier, he'd genuinely thought she was unwell. He didn't expect Lucille, who was always cool and composed, to pull such a sn
