My Husband

When Laurie woke up the next day, she still felt a little hung-over.

She had been sleeping since she got home in the afternoon. She had not eaten anything at all and her stomach was a little uncomfortable.

As soon as she left the bedroom, she saw that Alice had already packed her luggage.

"Grandma, are you leaving?" Laurie was a little anxious. She didn't know if she had drunk too much yesterday and scared the old lady.

However, Alice looked at her with a smile. "I'm relieved to see that you two are so close. I have to go back. My old friends are waiting for me!"

She recalled how Claude carefully carried Laurie back yesterday. Not only did he carry her gently, but he also took the initiative to change her shoes and wipe her face with a hot towel…

Alice, who was watching from the side, felt her heart melt.

True enough, even heroes succumb to the charms of beauties.

Alice decided to go back when she thought that the young couple would not be able to let their guard down with her around.

"But Grandma, you haven't tasted my cooking yet! Why don't you leave tomorrow? I'll make you something delicious today!" Laurie had not extended any hospitality to Alice yet during the few days she was here.

However, Alice shook her head and put on her sunglasses. "It's not like we won't meet again. I'll come back in a few days. You guys have to be good, okay!"

At this point, Claude had also come upstairs and picked up Alice's luggage.

Before he left, he did not forget to say to Laurie, "Breakfast is being kept warm in the pot. Eat it while it's hot."

As she looked at the interaction between the two, Alice felt even more pleased. Sure enough, her grandson had changed.

When she came to the kitchen and saw the breakfast, Laurie was a little touched.

Today's breakfast comprised light side dishes, as well as millet porridge and egg custard that could nourish the stomach.

Although the flavor was mild, it still warmed her heart.

Laurie had completely forgotten how she got home. She thought that she had drunk too much and came back on her own.

Claude watched Alice get into the cab and then hurried upstairs.

"Huh? Don't you have to work today?" When Laurie saw Claude return, she looked at the time and felt that it was a little odd.

Yesterday, when Jason saw Claude and Laurie leave, he asked Beebo about his relationship with Laurie in a roundabout way. Beebo also told him about Laurie's dismissal.

As he recalled this, Claude had the feeling that this woman might cry her heart out at home today, so he took leave from work today.

However, he also knew that it was not appropriate to bring up this matter directly, so he simply said, "I'm on leave today."

"Oh, okay." Laurie didn't think too much.

"If you're free today, shall we go shopping?" Claude's tone was a little stiff. It was obvious that he did not often say such things.

He only thought of the time when his mother was still around. Every time she was in a bad mood, she would go shopping for jewelry and bags.

When he recalled how much Laurie drank yesterday, she must be in a bad mood too, right?

Laurie widened her eyes and looked at Claude with a peculiar expression.

"If you don't want to go, then forget it. I wanted you to accompany me to pick out a few suitable suits," Claude said.

"I want, I want," Laurie still agreed to his suggestion gladly.

Anyway, she might not be able to find a job anytime soon, so it was good to go shopping and relax.

However, she did not expect to meet someone she did not want to see as soon as she arrived at the mall.

"Weren't you fired? You still have money to shop at the mall?" The moment Misha saw Laurie, she immediately began to poke at Laurie's sore spot.

Initially, Laurie didn't want Claude to know that she was fired, but to her chagrin, she was blatantly outed in this fashion.

Laurie asked a little angrily, "Does your family own the mall? I can shop if I want to. What has it got to do with you?"

Misha, who wanted to continue speaking, suddenly noticed the tall man beside Laurie. She felt suffocated at this moment.

The man's eyes were deep and profound, his nose was high, and his face was chiseled and well-defined.

In particular, his unique bearing stood out. Coupled with the smart casual clothes he was wearing today, he resembled every inch a rich young master no matter how one looked at him.

Misha became very jealous. Why was Laurie always able to find a man? And all the men by her side were so outstanding?

She said somewhat sarcastically, "I heard that my elder brother dumped you, so you got married in a flash. Handsome dude, don't be fooled by her. She's not a good woman."

When she saw Misha looking at Claude with blazing eyes, Laurie knew at once what she was thinking.

She knew Misha as well as she knew Jose.

It was obvious that Misha was infatuated again, and had become besotted with Claude.

"That's right. You also know that I got married in a flash?" Laurie then wrapped her arm around Claude's arm matter-of-factly. "This is my husband."
