Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Heartwarming Marriage: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

In her office, Lucille narrowed her eyes at the extravagantly dressed young man in front of her. Charles was the deputy CEO of the Sanders Corporation at 26 years old. Known as the Casanova of Whiteloop City, there was a new rumor about him with either a celebrity or model every three days.He was quite the looker, and being the son of the Sanders family, he naturally had women throwing themselves at him. However, rumor had it that he was heartless.Lucille watched as Charles took a seat on the couch. "Mr. Sanders, why did you come here?" she asked coolly.While she looked him up and down, he did the same to her.Her face was aloof yet beautiful. She had exquisite facial features that made her quite the stunner. She was even prettier than any woman he had ever had.His lips curved into a smile. He laughed casually. "Ms. Johnson, I've heard people call you venomous, but it turns out that you're just an ice queen. I feel like this trip here is now worth it."When Lucille heard this

The door to the Kingston Room was pushed open. The people sitting inside all turned their gazes to the two people who just entered.Spencer was holding Lucille's hand. He looked regal and handsome, while she looked austere and beautiful. They were quite a match.Lucas, Ethan, and Zachary had already seen Lucille and knew about her.But what they didn't know was that Lucille also knew things about them.After she got legally married to Spencer, she looked into his background. Naturally, she also looked into the few gentlemen sitting here. However, it seemed like one of them wasn't here today.Unexpectedly, the sons of Whiteloop's most revered aristocratic families were actually best friends in private.It was truly surprising. After all, no one had exposed their friendship before. It seemed like their public relations teams were doing a good job at keeping this under wraps.Like a gentleman, Spencer pulled a chair out for Lucille. Only after she had taken her seat did he sit down

Spencer gazed at her softly beneath the dim yellow light of the car. "My parents are returning home tomorrow. Will you come home with me to meet them?"After spending half a month together, Lucille was starting to accept his presence in her life.Today, she even said the words "home" to him.Lucille looked down and thought for a few seconds. Then, she looked up and said, "Sure."Inside, she was still conflicted, worried, and scared. She was mostly afraid that his parents would not like her.As soon as that thought popped into her head, she heard Spencer's comforting voice. "Don't worry, they'll definitely like you. They're very easygoing."When Mack, who was driving, heard that, he laughed. "Mrs. Layton, my boss is right. Mr. Layton's parentsare very nice people. I swear on half of my annual paycheck."They were truly nice. Everyone in the Layton family could feel it."See, Mack swears it's true too. The thing he cares about the most is his paycheck," Spencer said, nodding behi

"There is no why. As a Johsnon, you naturally must attend," Horace explained hastily.Lucille wasn't going to dig deeper. Even if she asked further, they weren't going to tell the truth anyway."Secondly, you should return the shares to the Johnson Group that your mother left you to the Johnson family. They should go to your sister, the actual eldest daughter of the Johnson family," Horace continued self-righteously without any shame.Lucille sighed and let out a cold snort.Behind her, Samuel was also stunned into silence. What a flimsy reason.Lucille then asked nonchalantly, "So she is the eldest daughter of the Johnson family, is she?" She shifted her gaze to Sabrina, who had kept quiet until now. Smiling, she continued, "She's only older than me by 20 days. If worse comes to worst, I'll just change my age."As soon as she said that, the others were stunned. They never thought she would ever say such a thing.Samuel was quietly giving his boss a big thumbs-up. He expected no

Samuel pondered the question for a moment then said, "From an outsider's perspective, he's an unrestrained, cynical young man who spends his days in strip clubs and bars. Rumors follow him wherever he goes. However…"Lucille kept quiet, waiting for Samuel to finish his sentence.After a brief pause, he continued, "A year ago, Mr. Sanders suddenly took over the management of the Sanders Corporation's hotel chain. The hotels' reputation wasn't doing well; they often received complaints about their amenities and service."However, looking back on the year, I think the complaints have reduced significantly. Not to mention, the hotels' profits had grown 2% compared to previous years. Although it's not much, it is a step in the right direction."As he checked off each point, he suddenly thought of a possibility. His eyes lit up as he said, "Perhaps his cynical and wild attitude is a front."Lucille narrowed her eyes. "He isn't the son of Mr. Sanders Senior's wife. He's actually the ille
