Spencer grabbed his phone and opened the text message. It was from the only pinned contact in his phone—his honey Lucille. "Honey, can I not be the lady of the Layton family?" There was also a crying emoji at the end. Spencer smiled helplessly before making a video call to Lucille. But she didn't answer it. Instead, she voice called him.Lucille said, "Honey, I can't take a video call now. I'm outside with Mom." "It's okay," Spencer replied. "Are you tired?" "Not just tired. I'm exhausted!" Lucille said without hesitation. She was speaking the truth. "Both physically and mentally." Hearing Lucille whine, Spencer chuckled. "Well, it's my fault you're physically exhausted. I should've held back a little last night. I'll make it up for you tonight." Lucille was speechless. "That's not what I meant. I'm exhausted because we've been out shopping for too long, and my legs are sore." Spencer rebutted, "But you're never exhausted when you're out shopping with your friends. Ult

At 6:30 pm, Herbert was confused when he saw Spencer return alone. As Spencer hung his coat on the coat rack, Herbert asked, "Mr. Layton, why have you returned?" Spencer furrowed his brows. "What's wrong?" Herbert had served Spencer for over ten years, so Spencer knew Herbert well. Spencer noticed something was off immediately after Herbert asked his question. Herbert was even confused by Spencer's question. He explained, "Mrs. Layton called half an hour ago saying she won't return for dinner. I thought she was with you, so I asked Lana not to prepare dinner." Spencer's eyebrows furrowed even further upon learning that Lucille wasn't coming back for dinner. She hadn't informed him about that. After a brief silence, Spencer said, "I see. Okay." "Should I have Lana make you dinner?" Herbert asked. "It's okay," Spencer replied. "I'm not hungry at the moment." Herbert made no further comments and left. Spencer sat on the couch and loosened his tie before taking out his ph

"You're awful at lying." Eric glanced at Lila's right hand. "Whenever you lie, your right hand would automatically fidget with your clothes."At that, Lila instantly released her right hand. She forgot that this bad habit of hers was first noticed by him and him alone. Indeed, she could feign ignorance and lie on the surface, but for some reason, she had to fidget with her clothes. She thought that it was perhaps a subconscious habit.Eric's countenance looked serious, and his tone resembled one lecturing a child. "I remember telling you that your stomach cannot handle such high-cholesterol food. Why are you being disobedient today?"Lila instinctively blurted out, "You've controlled me in that aspect for 30 years. Can't I fulfill my cravings for once?" Then, she huffed and pretended to be angry before heading upstairs.In reality, she was frightened inside. Many said Eric was a henpecked man, but she, too, feared angering him. When she saw his solemn face, her only thought was to

After a momentary daze, Lucille remained headstrong and shook her head, denying, "No.""Then, let go. I won't mind it. What are you worried about?""No way. Unless you get up and stop crushing me."Spencer lifted his head from her ear and locked in on her face. He knew her personality all too well. She was stubborn and persistent, and since she might have more patience in extending this standstill, he decided to concur first.Moments later, he rose and sat on the side, his gaze fixed on her figure. Almost immediately, Lucille's eyes turned brighter and wider. She used one hand to support herself, albeit maintaining a distance from him.Faced with her distrust, Spencer was rather helpless."I'm heading back to the room," she said, covering her mouth. Then, she circled away from him and arrived at the staircase. Just as she was about to take a step up, she heard a dull, painful groan from behind.She stopped and turned around suspiciously, only to see his figure no longer sitting

Lucas wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her forward, leaving just an inch of distance between them. Bailey, who was half-kneeling on the couch, suddenly felt her body straighten at his tug.Frightened by his actions, she found her hands sliding from his temples down to his solid shoulders. The atmosphere grew charged with tension, and their breaths lightly brushed against each other's skin.At that moment, Bailey understood what he meant. She was more open in this aspect compared to Lucille and wasn't shy about it.She blinked, asking, "Didn't you perform four surgeries today?" In other words, wasn't he too exhausted to do it?Lucas' gold-rimmed glasses gave him an added flare of irresistible charm. Beneath those glasses were a pair of scrutinizing eyes. "Are you questioning my ability?" he asked with narrowed eyes.Bailey was bold. "Not really. But there are hits and misses at times."He removed his glasses and chuckled coldly. "Is that so? I've never had any misses o
