Chapter 1428
[ 728 words ]
“Juniper, let’s get together some other time.”
Luella covered the phone’s mouthpiece and whispered, “My actual husband is jealous. I have to go coax him.”
“Sure.”
After ending the call with Luella, Juniper immediately dialed Shanley’s number, getting straight to the point. “Get a wedding gift ready. Jimmie actually managed to trick Luella into marrying him.”
“Jimmie sure is impressive.” Even though he agreed to prepare a gift, that old fox couldn’t help but feel a little sour, his words dripping with vinegar. “He started chasing her way after I started chasing you, but he got the title of husband before I did.”
“Oh-“
Hearing the blatant envy and jealousy in his voice, Juniper raised an eyebrow and teased him on purpose, “If Mr. Schwartz really can’t wait, why don’t you go find a twenty-year-old to marry?”
“I can definitely wait.”
Shanley pinched the bridge of his nose, his lips curling up. “I’ll go get the wedding gift ready. How about two apartment buildings?”
“Whatever you see fit,” Juniper said casually. “Luella loves money anyway. As long as it has to do with money, she’ll be thrilled.”
Hanging up the phone.
Shanley opened their family group chat. Two minutes ago, Jimmie had officially announced his marriage.
Although Silas Blackwood and Theia Sommers were slightly annoyed at how impulsive it was, it was the kids’ business, and they couldn’t exactly interfere.
Besides, they had already recognized Luella as their future daughter-in-law, and they had even given the wedding gifts.
Marriage was only a matter of time.
The two of them sent their heartfelt congratulations, reminding Jimmie to treat her right.
Don’t end up like Harold Houston-
Married, but acting like he wasn’t, to the point where his wife was now demanding a divorce.
With his silent, emotionally repressed attitude, no woman could stand it.
Harold, who had just finished an experiment, opened his phone.
The sky had practically fallen.
Jimmie got married?
Why on earth was the crossfire hitting him?!
Harold typed on his keyboard: [Congratulations. Happy Wedding.]
Before Jimmie even replied, Theia shot back: [Look at Jimmie, and then look at yourself. Harold, what exactly is going on between you and your wife?]
Theia: [Either be together properly, or if the relationship is truly broken, part on good
terms. Let the poor girl go so she can find her own happiness.]
Staring at his mother’s messages, Harold let out a deep sigh and opened his messages with Lorelei Bellamy.
Their last conversation was two months ago.
The last message read: *When do you have time? Let’s discuss the divorce.*
He had been incredibly busy at the time, so the divorce date they had agreed on was pushed back.
And after that-
She never reached out again, and he pretended he didn’t know anything about it.
After thinking for a long time.
Harold finally replied to his mother: “I will seriously think about it.”

At Cloudscape Community.
Juniper leaned against Shanley’s chest, eating fruit as she stared at the chat history. “I’m actually pretty curious about Harold’s wife.”
“I heard it was a business marriage,” Shanley said, stroking her cheek, his thin lips moving slightly. If there’s no love there, it really is better to end it early. It’s easier on both of them.”
“Is that so?”
Juniper turned her head, her gaze landing on Shanley’s face as she muttered, “Why
do I get the feeling Harold isn’t completely devoid of feelings for her?”
“Since when are you an expert on other people’s feelings?”
Shanley was amused by her words, remembering how he had nearly worked himself to death trying to woo her.
Her emotional intelligence used to be basically zero, and now she claimed she could understand love?
“Hmph.”
Juniper let out a soft huff, propping herself up and staring intensely at Shanley. “Shanley, do you dare make a bet?”
“Bet on what?” Shanley’s interest was piqued, his eyes staring gently at the girl.
“If Harold actually likes his wife, you have to sleep in the study for three months.” “The stakes are too high.”
Hearing this, Shanley’s face instantly darkened, and he firmly rejected it. “Boring. I’m not playing.”
Juniper pouted. What a sore loser.
…
In Australis.
Lorelei Bellamy woke up early. After feeding the fish and watering the flowers…
She went to the front hall to have breakfast.
“Lori, you’re here.” Noemi looked at her with an affectionate smile. “I heard from the housekeeper that you caught a bit of a chill lastnight. Are you alright?
“I’m fine, thank you for checking on me, Noemi, Lorelei was dressed in a bespoke silk dress, her long hair casually pinned back, looking entire gentle composed, and elegantly radiant.and elegantly noble.
