Chapter 733: Chapter 733: Substitute Literature
Old Mrs. Jennings received a satisfactory answer and finally let go of Luca Jennings.
Luca Jennings left and went straight to the villa where Logan was staying.
Although he already knew her real name was Magnolia Hearne, Luca Jennings was still used to calling her Logan.
Even if this name didn’t quite match her personal aura.
Because of Magnolia Hearne’s Demon State, there was no one arranged to be at the villa; the cleaning was done by part-time maids.
Luca Jennings walked in with freshly made breakfast in hand and didn’t see anyone downstairs.
He went straight upstairs to the bedroom.
Opening the door, he indeed saw a slight bulge on the bed.
Clearly, she wasn’t up yet.
Unlike Scarlett’s routine of waking up early every day for practice, Magnolia Hearne preferred to linger in bed.
Especially in her Demon State, she slept like a real little animal.
Luca Jennings didn’t see any harm in this.
Upon hearing about her eighteen years of solitary life in the Otherworld from Scarlett, Luca Jennings only felt heartache.
Seeing her sleeping so peacefully now made Luca Jennings feel very content.
He drew back the blackout curtains and walked to the bedside, gently tugging at the bulging quilt.
“Logan, I brought breakfast, wake up and eat with me.”
A whimpering sound came from under the blanket, Luca Jennings exerted a little more force and pulled the blanket down.
Then, he saw the head that had been wrapped up.
Instead of the white haired fox ears from before, he was met with smooth black hair.
The sleeping person’s appearance hadn’t changed much, but the ears and tail representing her demonic transformation were completely gone.
Luca Jennings’ heart skipped a beat.
His wife had returned to normal.
Gripping the quilt a little tighter, Luca Jennings leaned forward, gently kissed her forehead, and softly called her again,
“Logan, wake up.”
Magnolia Hearne was sleeping soundly and didn’t want to open her eyes when disturbed, grunting and trying to continue sleeping.
But this person was persistent; sensing some emotions and heartbeat fluctuations from him, she had no choice but to open her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she met his gaze.
Then she saw her own reflection in his pupils.
Magnolia Hearne almost instantly woke up, instinctively reaching to touch her own head, then looking at the black strands in her palm, she immediately sprang up from the bed.
“I’ve returned to normal!”
She exclaimed in delight and hugged Luca Jennings in front of her tightly.
After holding for a while, as if noticing something, she released him and carefully looked him over from head to toe, unable to help but say,
“Your style seems a bit different these days.”
Luca Jennings asked,
“Does it not suit me?”
Magnolia Hearne shook her head, earnestly praising him, “It suits you, you were always a handsome gentleman, and the change in style made you even more handsome.”
As she spoke, seemingly to prove the authenticity of her words, she hugged him and kissed him.
Luca Jennings was momentarily stunned, but soon wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her even closer.
By the time they finished tidying up and went downstairs, the breakfast was already a bit cold.
However, neither of them cared much about this, and had someone bring fresh breakfast over. After eating, Magnolia Hearne proactively said,
“I feel stable enough, I want to go home.”
Although she had initially suggested staying outside temporarily, and Donovan and Scarlett had visited her, she still preferred staying with them.
She even had a bit of anticipation to meet the other members of the Jennings Family soon.
She was eager to go home, and of course, Luca Jennings had to make arrangements.
“I’ll have someone send over some clothes and jewelry later, and I’ll notify everyone to gather at home tonight.”
When he said everyone, it naturally included Adam and Brianna Jennings at school.
Just like when Scarlett returned home, even though everyone was busy with their own lives, a formal meeting required everyone to be together.
Magnolia Hearne smiled and agreed.
By evening, Luca Jennings came personally to pick her up.
When he saw his newly dressed wife, he couldn’t help but pause.
The clothes he sent were chosen based on her past preferences, yet today Logan had uniquely chosen a cheongsam.
It wasn’t that it didn’t look good; it just leaned more towards a reserved style in terms of design and color.
When he looked at her face, her originally young appearance was adorned with several fine lines, adding a peaceful beauty tempered by time.
“Logan, your face…”
As if knowing what he wanted to ask, Magnolia Hearne just casually touched her cheek,
“Oh, that? Previously, without my demonic power restored, I couldn’t change it, but now that I’ve recovered, I slightly adjusted my appearance to match my age.”
After all, not changing her looks for eighteen years might arouse suspicion.
More importantly, altering her appearance would make standing next to him appear more harmonious.
She had noticed the thought behind Luca Jennings’ recent changes in clothing style.
She appreciated the changes he made for her.
Similarly, she was willing to change for him too.
Instead of pursuing eternal youth, she wanted to be an ordinary loving couple in the eyes of the world.
But the premise for this was her certainty that Luca Jennings didn’t care solely about youthful appearances.
If the day ever came when he stopped loving her due to her aging, she would restore her original appearance and kick him away.
However, Magnolia Hearne didn’t speak these thoughts aloud.
She naturally linked her arm with his.
“Let’s go.”
Luca Jennings held her hand a little tighter, after a while, he nodded, “Alright.”
…
The Jennings Family home.
Today, the Jennings Family was bustling with activity.
Apart from the three households originally living in the home, Brianna Jennings’ family, except for Marshall Anson who was abroad, was all present.
Brianna Jennings’ other son, Anthony Anson, and Adam Jennings had taken leave from school to come home.
Michael Jennings even rescheduled his pre-planned agenda.
All because their elder brother had personally issued a message: regardless of any arrangements today, cancel them all, everyone must be home tonight.
At this moment, as everyone gathered in the living room, some couldn’t help but look at Scarlett Jennings.
After all, the last time Luca and Donovan made a big fuss gathering everyone home was because of Scarlett’s return.
But this time, for whom was it?
“Mom, do you know what’s going on?”
Brianna Jennings looked at her impeccably dressed mother, noticing the faint comfort in her eyes. With her understanding of her family’s matriarch, Brianna concluded that she surely knew something.
Of course Old Mrs. Jennings was in the know.
But she hadn’t expected that, after mentioning arranging a meeting in the morning, by the evening she would bring someone home.
However, she didn’t immediately reveal it, instead feigning seriousness and keeping them in suspense.
“You’ll find out soon.”
She was also curious to meet the woman who had won her eldest son’s heart again after all these years.
Although she had said that family background didn’t matter, she hoped it wouldn’t be like the previous daughter-in-law.
Even with her former daughter-in-law tricking her eldest son into investing in the cultural village, the old lady still suspected that her initial motive was the Jennings Family’s money.
If this new one was also coming for the Jennings Family’s money…
Well, that’s fine too.
As long as her son was happy.
The old lady was lost in her thoughts when she heard the sound of a car engine shutting off at the door. Not long after, the front door opened.
As the sound of footsteps drew nearer, Old Mrs. Jennings immediately saw the couple walking into the hall hand in hand.
The moment she saw the woman by her son’s side, the old lady, like everyone else, widened her eyes.
But, unlike others’ inner shock, she stood up abruptly, looking at her eldest son with a face full of deep regret.
She had thought he had finally moved on from his ex-daughter-in-law and found someone new.
Who would have thought… he…
Had found a substitute!!
Just look at that face, it’s almost identical to that of his ex-daughter-in-law!
The old lady was heartbroken,
“Luca! Why are you doing this to yourself!”
