Chapter 5184
Laurence had driven from Havenmill over to Satbury. The journey had taken more than two hours because the traffic in central Satbury was particularly bad.It was past seven o’clock in the evening now, which meant by the time he got back to his residence in Havenmill, it would be about ten.“Oh, is that so? Alright, then, I won’t make you stay.”Chase brought two bags filled with food and drink items over and handed one to Noelle as he said, “Noelle, this is from my mom and Callie to you. You have to take it.”Noelle looked hesitantly at Laurence.She had already eaten with everyone and did not feel right taking gifts from Isabella on top of that.Laurence said mildly, “Just accept Aunt Isabella and Callie’s thoughtfulness. Don’t make Callie sad.”It was only after he said this that Noelle accepted the bag and thanked Isabella and the rest.Chase handed the other bag to Laurence and said, “Laurence, you have one too. This bag’s yours. I don’t know what’s in there, all I know is

Noelle was dragged indoors by Callia.There was no one in the hall. Isabella was working upstairs in her study.She had not gone to her office that day, but there were still some things she had to handle. Her secretary would email it to her for her to do so.Meanwhile, Austin was in the kitchen, preparing dinner.There were guests tonight and his most beloved niece was here. He had to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Most things, he did himself. The most the housekeeper did was to help wash vegetables.Callia pulled Noelle over to the sofa to sit down and said, “Noelle, have a seat while I check if Uncle Austin needs help.”“Let me. I take care of Mr. Laurence’s meals daily too, so I think my cooking skills are decent enough.”Noelle got up to follow Callia into the kitchen to help.Callia smiled. “Sure, let’s both go help.”She did not treat Noelle like an outsider.The two entered the kitchen.“Uncle Austin, do you need our help?”“Uncle Austin.” Noelle greeted Austin respectf

However, Callia forced Noelle to sit down again. When Noelle tried to get up again, Callia deliberately put on a miffed expression and said, “Noelle, are you trying to say I picked a bad spot for you? I’m trying to get you to sit, but you don’t want to. That means you’re complaining that the spot I picked for you is bad.”“Oh, no, Ms. Callia, that’s really not what I mean.”Noelle knew Laurence doted on Chloe and Callia the most, and she liked Callia very much too. However, she was just Laurence’s bodyguard and had to avoid sitting at the same table as her master as much as possible.“Since that’s not what you meant, you should just sit there. It’ll make me very sad if you refuse to sit.”Noelle could not argue against Callia and she looked pleadingly toward Laurence, hoping he could help by telling her to go to her corner and stand guard.However, she did not expect that her pleading look would cause Laurence to be berated by Callia.Callia scolded Laurence and Chase, “The two o

Laurence knew Chase was missing his great-nana and comforted him, “Your great-nana lived longer than even Doc did. She’s gone to be with your great-gramps now.“They’ll only be at ease in heaven if we all live well.”“Great-Nana was the best. It’s impossible not to miss her.” Chase added, “She must be with Great-Gramps now. I heard from Dad that Great-Nana and Great-Gramps had a really good relationship.“When Great-Gramps passed away, Great-Nana nearly succumbed to her grief. She might have looked very strong, but on the inside, she was quite fragile. She really missed him a lot.”Laurence said, “That’s understandable. It’s only natural to take a long time to grieve the loss of the person you’re closest to.”When his parents and the rest of his family were murdered, he was only a year old and slowly forgot even his biological parents’ faces over the years as he grew up.It was only after he grew capable enough to return to Havenmill that he saw from photos others had taken of hi

Noelle went quiet for a while before turning to Laurence. Laurence pulled a stoic look. When their eyes met, Laurence spoke sternly, “What? Are my instructions not clear enough for you? “Maybe you are just not willing to taste test the food for me.” Noelle glanced at the refreshments delivered by the housekeeper. She replied respectfully, “Sir, the fruit and pastries at the O’Connors’ house are definitely fresh and tasty.Isabella was known for her refined palate. Her home only stocked the best of the best. Chase said, “We have several fridges at home. Mom has one of her own, and what she eats is totally separate from what the rest of us got.” This was the truth. The food Austin cooked for Isabella was works of art that never repeated. Austin would just whip something quick for the kids. Though the ingredients were fresh, the cooking lacked the finesse found in the food for Isabella. It was a good thing Austin was an amazing chef. Even his lazy dishes were so good that t

“Xavier is a decent guy.” After much silence, Laurence put in a good word for Xavier. Chase fell silent in his thoughts before sighing. “That’s true. No one else but him has the guts to ask for Callia’s hand in marriage.” “I wouldn’t say that. My mentor is very fond of Callia. She constantly talks about bringing the families together through marriage, but Oliver feels the same way about Callia as I do. I guess it’s more of a sibling bond since we grew up together.” Lilian absolutely adored Callia and wanted to drop Oliver at Serenity’s place, so Serenity could raise him as her son-in-law. At least, Oliver and Callia could get close as children. The senior family members wanted the kids to spend time together and grow up with a strong bond. Things would work out better for them in the future. Their feelings for each other were indeed deep, but the affection was like siblings, not love. Lilian often nagged Oliver about not falling for a cute and pretty girl like Callia. Oli

Two big mistakes in this chapter- Madame Fisher had three sons not four and the older sister that was killed had two daughters late in life but they were 4 years apart not 1 year apart very important in later chapters. This is my third time reading this book- you will understand later why ages matte
You already wrote this part of the story I don’t like this constant repeating of information. Please get to the story.
I was enjoying this more when I was paying to read it even though it cost me so much, but at least I was reading trying to get to the end now it seems like there's no ending, these chapters that are releasing daily are so boring, where can I get the darn book to buy ,bring back the paying chapters.
This was the worst chapter yet
Some of you people can’t to understand that the author note that the story is serialized. So he is going to put out a few chapter every day. So it’s up to you people to continue reading it. It’s a money making business so they don’t give a damn what people said.
this is so stupid. After paying so much money, the story is not complete. I'm done with tjis app
I think it was referencing that liberty and serenity mom and aunt might be related to the fishers
yes, the cost of deading this book is outrageous, because the chapters are so small it is ridiculous. i hate to see what it will be like if it is serialized
this was listed under completed stories only to find out its ongoing. this is frustrating.
Need more chapters released. This little bit each day and going in so many directions is frustrating. It wouldn't be so bad if you could continue reading and not have to wait days to get back to the storyline you were reading. Plus, the cost to read one book is crazy. Done with this app after this.
What was all that omg so confusing and unnecessary
