Laurence’s finger pressed against Noelle’s lips, stopping any words of refusal. With his gentle eyes, he said tenderly, “Nothing else matters so long as we love each other. Noelle, say you’ll be mine. I promise to only love you like Ben loves Mom. It’s just you and only you in this lifetime. “Don’t worry about the Longbottoms getting in the way. They have no right to dictate what I do. Marriage is my own, and I want to be with the one I want. No one can stop us from being together,” Laurence said with absolute confidence. Jane had a point, but her words did not deter Laurence. Besides, Jane was basically suggesting he tell Noelle how he felt. “Noelle, the road ahead is full of challenges since I have just taken over the family. I don’t want our feelings to be used against us, nor do I want them to drive us apart. I can’t stand other women getting close to me. My heart belongs to you.“If you feel overwhelmed by it all, I’ll give you two days to think it over. What do you say?”

Laurence picked up the necklace again and walked behind Noelle, intending to fasten it around her neck.“Mr. Laurence, no.” Noelle snapped back to her senses and hurriedly stopped him. “Sir, this necklace is far too precious. I can’t accept it.”It was a necklace meant to be worn only by the wife of the head of the Longbottoms.She was nothing more than Laurence’s bodyguard. What right did she have to wear something so valuable?Laurence gazed at her deeply. “Noelle, I bought this necklace to give to you as a token of my love. If you don’t want it, then it has no meaning. I’ll throw it away.”With those words, he gripped the necklace as if to toss it aside.“Mr. Laurence!”Noelle quickly stopped him again.This necklace cost him tens of millions. How could he just throw it away?“Mr. Laurence, please don’t force me,” she said helplessly. “We’re not a good match. I’m just an orphan.”“I’m an orphan too. My family is gone. I was raised by Doc and the others. You know that. We

“Who said anything about acting? Look at me, Noelle. Stop backing away. Let’s have an honest conversation,” said Laurence.Noelle looked at him.“Noelle, do you know why I bought this necklace? At first, it was because it belonged to my ancestors. As a descendant, it was my duty to bring it back.“But the second reason I bought it was to give it to you as a token of my love.”A token of his love?Noelle looked at him, stunned.The panic in her eyes became even more obvious.‘Oh no. Is Mr. Laurence really confessing to me?’This necklace once belonged to the wife of the head of the Longbottoms. Although she had later given it to her daughter as a wedding gift, whenever people saw the necklace, the first thing they thought of was the lady of the Longbottoms.It symbolized the position of the lady of the house.However, Laurence said he bought it back to give it to her as a love token. That meant…“S-sir, s-stop joking around. That’s not funny at all. How could I accept such a

“You don’t know how to act, huh?”Jane drew out the last word, exchanging a meaningful glance with Lilian. Then, they stood up at the same time and said to Laurence, “Lilian and I came back with you because we were worried something might happen, but it seems everything went smoothly, so we can stop worrying.“We’re exhausted from rushing back. We’ll go and rest now.”Laurence understood exactly what they were trying to do. He and Noelle stood up to see them off, but Lilian refused.“We’re all family. Stop acting like strangers. You two get some rest too, or you can discuss how you’re going to play the part of a couple.”Lilian patted Laurence’s shoulder as she passed, encouraging him to confess to Noelle.Jane said to Noelle, “You’re family to us.”Noelle tried to respond, but Jane stopped her.With that, the two ladies left.Only Laurence and Noelle were in the house.Laurence turned to Noelle and asked, “Where’s the necklace I bought at the auction?”“In the car,” Noelle

Laurence was Noelle’s whole world now.If she were to leave his side, it would be more painful than death itself.Lilian laughed. “Jane, you’re too soft-hearted. Why’d you tell Noelle so soon?”Noelle said, “Master, you almost scared me to death.”“You wouldn’t flinch even if a mountain fell on you, but the moment you heard you might be transferred away from Laurence, your face went pale. Is Laurence the only thing you care about?”Lilian gave her apprentice a look.Laurence chimed in. “Of course I’m the only thing in Noelle’s heart. She’s the only one in mine too.“Noelle, Master was only trying to scare you. I’ll never replace you, and no one could either. But from now on, if there’s danger again, you have to give me a chance to throw a few punches. You know how it feels to be itching to punch something.”“If you need to step in, that danger would have to be enormous. Do you actually want to be in that sort of danger?” Noelle responded helplessly.Laurence grinned. “I want o

Lilian suddenly chimed in. “There’s a way. Just replace her.”Laurence was speechless.Noelle’s expression shifted.Lilian turned to Noelle and said, “You always disobey Laurence, so just let him replace you with someone who actually listens to him. What do you think?”“Master, I don’t disobey Mr. Laurence.”“Don’t you? You disobey him all the time. When he tells you to sit down and eat, you’d refuse. He has to call Clo and get her to lecture you.“He keeps telling you that he’s a man, that he can take the lead and face danger himself, and that he doesn’t need you constantly throwing yourself in front of him, but you never listen. Every time there’s danger, you’re the one standing in front of him.“Have you forgotten how he was so frightened he had a mental breakdown when you were injured? To him, your life is as important as his own. Do you understand?“So, before you think about protecting him, you need to protect yourself first.”Noelle said helplessly, “Master, that’s my d

Who do I need to talk to get 36-174 unlocked. I paid for these chapters. Your policy is you pay for its yours. Looks like you can lock them when you choose.
Today, nothing. Seriously?
Back to 1 chapter Such a joke
ohhh my gosh if I had of known It was going to end i wouldn't of had purchased any more credits dammit when will the next lot come where's the wedding details what a pitty
All this app wants is our money,they don’t care about finishing this book.Have spend way too much money and they keep repeating the same thing.Plus it’s been months way too long for a novel.This app is horrible.Never again I’ll just go buy a book for a lot less.Shame on you authors.
But this app is probably screwing you too! Do yourself a favor and write a real book and call a publisher and get paid real money. Focus on the story line and complete the whole thing in less then 500 pages.
Leaving us hanging after2378 chapters is just the cherry on top! Most books are considered too big with over 500 pages. Your chapters probably aren’t more then a page or two but clearly to much repetitive bs and too many storylines. You could have written 5 books and maybe completed at least one .
Take your time because I’m not spending any more money. By the time you write enough for me to read my check in will pay for it. I’m going delete the app if I can feet closure on this story but I won’t spend anymore. Probably 300 in which was stupid of me but this app is a ripoff !
PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!! PLEASE UPDATE MORE THAN ONE CHAPTER PER DAY!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE!!!
wow six days for 3 chapters
I want my chapters unlocked that I have read
I want my chapters unlocked.
Same old complaint....WE NEED MORE THAN 1 OR 2 CHAPTERS A DAY!!!!
The wedding is 2 days away, so we probably have to wait 2 more weeks for that ...
Writer never gives enough writing to get even 15 minutes as they don’t get $$$ for those. How many chapters and weeks before we reach Zachary’ and Serenity’s wedding day tomorrow?

Please give us more chapters at a time. The reading goes by way too fast with just 1 or 2

WTF! This ridiculous! Get your act together as a writer.
