“Now that you’ve taken over the position of family head, you’re going to hold a banquet, right? Have you chosen the date already? I’m going to Clearfield tomorrow for work, and I might be there for about a week or so. If you’re still picking a date, choose a later one, so that I’ll be able to make it.“We definitely have to attend such an important occasion to support you.”Laurence had taken over the leadership of the Longbottom family and was officially assuming the position of the head of the family. He was definitely going to hold a banquet and invite all the who’s who of Havenmill.His friends and family definitely had to attend, too, not only to support the event but also to back him up and to tell the world he wasn't just an orphan—he actually had plenty of backers.Laurence said, “I’ve not picked a date yet. Don’t worry, it won’t clash with your schedule. You said you were coming back soon, though. Why do you still have to go on a week-long business trip? Are things very bu

“That’s right, Noelle. You have us to back you up, so don’t worry about being looked down on by people. The most important thing is that you don’t look down on yourself.”Noelle was touched beyond words.With Jane’s and Lilian’s reassurances, she felt better.After all, it was not that she did not love Laurence. She just worried that her status was not a match for Laurence’s.“If Laurence tries to give you that necklace again as a symbol of the love between the two of you, just accept it. You deserve it and are certainly worthy of it as well.“As long as Laurence doesn’t look down on you, there’s no need to bother or care about whatever anyone else says. Don’t make things hard on yourself.”Noelle nodded.“Where’s Laurence?”Lilian only thought of her disciple after she managed to persuade Noelle.“He’s preparing dinner. I said I’d do it, but he wouldn’t let me. He said he hadn’t cooked in such a long time that he was about to forget how to cook, and that he had to practice mo

Picking up where Jane left off, Lilian said, "Those people are just jealous that you have Laurence’s heart. You’re the subject of envy. They are just bitter that they can’t have what you have. “Live your own life. No one else matters.”“When Ben and I were dating, didn’t people gossip about us too? I didn’t care about what they said because they were just jealous.” Jane had not found her biological parents when she first married Ben. She had no idea that she came from a powerful family. Most people believed that Jane did not deserve Ben because he was the heir of the Johnsons, the leader of FC & Co. Meanwhile, Jane was just the owner of a tiny café. Though her adoptive parents were well off, their wealth was nothing compared to that of the Johnsons, the richest family in Annenburg. “Besides, you should trust Laurence to protect you. He won’t let anyone talk badly about you. He is a nice guy, but very few can handle his wrath when he’s upset.” Laurence was patient and broad-m

“Mom, Master… Don’t you think I’m not good enough for Mr. Laurence?” Lilian gave Noelle a light rap on the head. Jane glared at Noelle. Noelle rubbed the sore spot and cried in pain, “Master.” It had been ages since Lilian did that to her. “I don’t want to hear that coming from you again. Don’t you dare think about it. I can’t stand to hear it. Who said you weren’t good enough? Spill the beans. I’m going to have a word with these people. How do you not deserve Laurence? You’re an outstanding woman, unlike any other.“Laurence was first to choose you, and he’s crazy about you. If not, I would’ve let Crybaby Ollie go after you instead. I adore you. You’re the ideal daughter-in-law to me.” Noelle stayed by Laurence’s side to keep him safe. Though she was also business-savvy enough to help Laurence at work, she did not have the chance to shine because Laurence and Sonny were great at what they did. The public would think Noelle was crude and only good at fighting. However, h

The medicinal herb garden earned its name from the wide variety of healing plants grown there.Usually, Noelle and Laurence tended to the plants themselves. No one else was allowed to mess with the herbs. The crops could be ruined by untrained hands. Lilian took the load off Noelle and Laurence. They could be at ease, with Lilian overseeing the garden. Emerging from the cabin in the garden, Lilian spotted Noelle and smiled. “Hey, Noelle. I heard the gate opening, so I came out to check it out.” Security was tight around Laurence’s residence. “Master, did I disrupt your rest?” Jane came out of the cabin too. Noelle said apologetically, “I didn’t know where to go, so I dropped by. I might have interrupted you and Mom.” “Silly girl. Why are you being so formal with us? Jane and I weren’t resting. We were just chatting. Come inside the cabin. Don’t just stand there. You look like you have a lot on your mind.“Come inside and tell me. I will help you no matter what it is.”
Chapter 5437
Laurence looked at Noelle, then at the necklace she had placed on his palm. He asked, “Are two days enough? You will give me an answer, right?” “Sir, I’m never one to back down or run away.” Noelle was flustered and at a loss at first, but her mind had never been clearer now. With two days to think things through, Noelle believed she would give Laurence the right answer. “Noelle, the only thing you need to consider is whether you want to marry me and spend the rest of your life with me. Nothing else should carry weight. Don’t worry about the opposing voices. “The Longbottoms are my family, but I don’t see them as one. I’m only regaining leadership over the family to stop my enemy from occupying the seat. “They have no say in my marriage, and the opinions that matter belong to those who have always loved to see us together. Mom, Master, and my family all love you.” Fearing that Noelle would worry about opposition from the Longbottoms, Laurence repeatedly emphasized to her

I wish the author will pay attention to the comments and correct the mistakes that leads the criticism
It’s been almost a year since I started to read this book, I think I still have to read it another year. This is my first and last time getting engaged with online stories , it’s a good book but too much of repeating the same thing and in reality too many added characters is loosing the real ones
Chapters are too short and not the full stated length. Shame.
This is an absolute joke. I have be baited long enough, I am done!!
In 3 days of reading there isn’t even enough chapters to get in ten minutes total of reading time ...
I won’t recommend this app to anyone at least when you go to the library or bookstore you able to find out what happens to the main characters at the end .
Why do you only write one or two chapters a day.?
More chapters !!!
Please hurry up and marry these two off. They are great together also will Julian’s mum and dad be able to wait for him to court his wife to be? Would love some loving with Liberty and Duncan they need to get together really soon
thank you ...
