Semua Bab A Heartwarming Marriage: Bab 341 - Bab 350

Eunice asked Lucille and Spencer to drop Celine home first. Celine gave them the name of her residential area—it happened to be the one Bailey stayed at and was close to Orchidstone Garden.Eunice's thoughts were on the scene she'd just witnessed, so she didn't pay attention to where Celine stayed. Anyone who could afford to stay at Ozenia Residences had to be rich or powerful.The apartments there couldn't be bought by just anyone. Even if one could afford a place there, they would need to get a chance to actually get a unit.Lucille didn't know Celine well, so she didn't probe for more information. After dropping both Celine and Eunice off, she asked Spencer something she'd been holding in for a long time. "Who was that woman in Ian's arms?"He gripped the steering wheel and turned to look at her innocently. "I don't know her, either. How about we call him to ask?"Lucille had made it sound like he was the one having an affair; he felt wronged and aggrieved. Besides, he and the

The first thing Eunice did upon returning to her apartment was take a shower. Then, she put some ice on her cheek before applying the ointment the doctor had prescribed. After that, she retired to her room.She was exhausted but couldn't fall asleep. Of course, she knew that the exhaustion wasn't physical—it was mental. She was so tired that she felt smothered and oppressed.The vague smell of nicotine that Ian always had on him permeated the bed. It wasn't pungent. In fact, it was rather nice. Now, however, it seemed to stab her heart like an invisible blade.Though what had happened today had been nothing but a misunderstanding, Eunice had still felt sad, fearful, and angry. She'd also wanted a shoulder to lean on, but there'd been nothing of the sort. It was bad enough not to have anyone to lean on, but she even had to put up a strong front.She admitted that she was probably being too sensitive. Either way, she had to force herself to ignore her sensitivities because she knew

But now, with Eunice, Ian felt lost. He didn't know how to coax a woman.Then, he heard her say indifferently, "Thank you for the concern, Mr. Moore. I'm fine. If you don't have anything else to say, I'll head back to my room now."After that, she sidestepped him and practically ran to the bedroom without waiting for a response. She slammed the door shut behind her.Ian watched her, feeling baffled. Was he a monster or something?…It was past 6:00 pm when Bailey returned to Whiteloop City. Lucille had texted her to tell her about Eunice, so she'd hurried over to Eunice's apartment to check on the latter. To her surprise, Ian was the one who answered the door. The sight of him there gave her a fright.Ian watched as Bailey's expression turned into one of horror when she saw him. Was he really that scary?"Oh, uh… hi, Uncle Ian. I, uh, didn't know you were around. I should get going," Bailey stammered. She turned to flee. "Ouch!"Ian had quickly grabbed her by the back of her

"Why me, Ms. Johnson? You can always hire someone else to run the company," Samuel said.Lucille gave him a pointed look. "Have you ever seen me interview anyone in person, Mr. Sawyer?"He didn't dare to respond, seeing as she was already addressing him as "Mr. Sawyer". He thought about their time together and realized that she hadn't interviewed anyone other than him.She continued, "And why do you think I left you in Benjamin's care?"Samuel was lost for words. If he still couldn't catch Lucille's drift, he would be putting her efforts to train him to waste.Lucille added, "Besides, if I were to hire a manager to run the company, I'd have to pay for another person's salary. I might be rich, but I'm not a fool."Samuel had nothing to say. It seemed she'd hired him just so he could take over her position one day.After a while, he remembered Benjamin telling him that running a company wasn't Lucille's strength. She'd only taken over Star&Ciel Group because she didn't want someth

Lucille was surprised by Spencer's words. Then, she smiled and said, "As expected of someone as wealthy as you, Mr. Layton."She pecked him on the lips and said cheerily, "But it's exactly that dominance of yours that I like."Spencer kissed her as soon as the words were out of her mouth. He nibbled on her lips and pulled her tongue into a dance with his. He deepened the kiss and explored every inch of her mouth. He could never get enough of it.She was like an oasis in the desert. Now that he'd found a source of water, he wanted to lap up every drop of it to moisturize his parched body.Lucille kneeled above him, her soft hands wrapping around his neck like vines. Spencer placed one hand on her back to steady her while threading his free hand through her hair. He pulled her closer to him.This was the steamy scene that greeted Seth upon his arrival. He whistled a lighthearted tune as he sauntered into the living room with his hands in his pockets. Then, he abruptly stopped, with
