Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Lee brought Heather to the backyard to pick up eggs. This villa was bought by Julian. The backyard was especially big with flowers, vegetables, and even chickens and ducks. There was a small pool where ducks liked to sleep on the water. Lee was a childe who had been well-pampered since he was young. He was really not good at picking eggs. He reached out to the chicken coop, wanting to touch the egg. In the end, he was pecked on the arm by a hen that was laying eggs. It didn’t hurt as the clothes he wore were too thick. The chicken was smart. Seeing that it didn’t hurt, it rolled its small eyes and quickly pecked the back of Lee’s bare hand. “Ouch.” Lee cried out in pain after being pecked by the chicken. He was happy to be pecked by it. He would be happy as long as he could be with Heather. Heather watched as Lee was pecked by a chicken. Her heart ached and she had the itch to laugh. Heather immediately pulled his hand and said with concern. “Let me see.” Seeing that there was only a red mark on the back of his hand, she was relieved and smiled. “I should be the one to do such a thing.” “No, no, I’ll go get a long ladle with a handle and scoop out the eggs,” Lee said. “No need,” said Heather. She reached out and grabbed the hen’s wings. The hen wanted to flutter, but its wings were restrained. It wanted to peck at Heather, but her hand was behind its wings, so its head could not stretch that far. How infuriating it was. It could only let out angry clucking sounds. Lee-smiled like a fool. “The hen is angry. It’s so angry that its eyes are red.”, Heather smiled reproachfully. “How can it not be angry since you want to snatch its children away? Let me tell you, we gotta find a new place for the hen to hatch its eggs. It won’t lay eggs here anymore.” Lee picked up the eggs and replied, “Yes, we’ll find a new place for it later.” After Lee picked up the eggs, Heather put hen back. the The hen flapped its wings and went to find a new place. In the end, before it could run far away, it lay an egg beside the flower pot. “I think we’re being hard on the hen, haha!” Lee laughed and rushed over to pick up the eggs again. The hen had already run away. Heather was in an amiable mood, watching as the mother hen fled away. Lee hold her into his arms and said, “Heather, for the rest of our lives, we’ll live like this. We’ll raise chickens and grow vegetables. We’ll live a simple life happily. We’ll get along with the people we like and stay away from those we don’t like. We don’t have to care about how others feel.” Heather knew that Lee was talking about his father. She was very touched and replied, “Yes.” “It’s cold outside. Let’s go back to the house. We’ll set off the fireworks when it’s dark,” Lee said. “Okay.” Heather’s lips were still curled into a smile, just like when she was young. People in Jadeborough had dinner with their families on Christmas Eve. However, for the past few years, Annalise and her mentors had been living in Horington where most people tended to have a grand lunch on the big day. Around eleven o’clock in the morning, they would get together to prepare lunch and then enjoy lunch together to celebrate Christmas. After learning about the customs of Horington and the habits of Annalise and her mentors, Julian decided that they would have the big meal at noon. Seeing that it was about time, Julian and Trevor went to call everyone. Then, everyone gathered together around the table to make a wish. After that, they would start to eat. When Julian was making the wish with his hands in prayer position, Annalise stood not far away and looked at him. Seeing Julian’s pious expression, she felt that it was especially good. Whether he was an atheist or not, there were some things that people didn’t have to go into seriously. The most important thing was that a tradition could be passed down from generation to generation. During lunch, Old Mr. Xander took out a few gifts and distributed them one by one. He first sent one to Julian. “Come, Julian. This is for you. Merry Christmas!” “Thank you, Old Mr. Xander!” Julian took it and said. Old Mr. Xander gave another Annalise and Trevor and said the same congratulatory words. Old Mr. Xander then gave Heather a gift and said kindly, “Heather, you’ve suffered all these years. Thank you for giving birth to the Xander family’s children. The children have grown up very well. No matter how much pain you’ve experienced, from now on, it’s all in the past. I wish you and Lee a happy future.” Hearing his words, Heather was very touched. She immediately stood up and took the gift with both hands. “Thank you, Old Mr. Xander.” Old Mr. Xander said with a smile, “You’re welcome. We’re family. I should’ve given you the gift 20 years ago. Come, let’s eat.” “Yes, young people should eat more, especially Anna. You’re pregnant and you need to eat more for the baby. Don’t worry about getting fat. Eat more,” Old Mr. Parks said as he went to fetch the gift for her. How could he fall behind others when it came to giving out gifts? “Alright, I’ll eat more.” Annalise smiled. Previously, Annalise was worried that Old Mr. Xander did not like her mother. She even thought that if he did not like her mother, she would politely ask him to leave. Unexpectedly, it was a joyful reunion of all the family. After the meal, Old Mr. Xander left. He said that he would have dinner with Jolene, Lee’s sister-in-law, and his granddaughter, Kristen. Lee and Heather personally sent Old Mr. Xander to the car. Lee said sincerely, “Dad, don’t forget to give my regards to Jolene and Kristen. I’ll come back tomorrow to visit them.” “Alright.” Old Mr. Xander’s heart ached. Lee then said to Sybil, “Tell Jolene that we will always be family.” Sybil nodded. Her heart also ached. If Yechiel had not been greedy and hurt Kalyan, Heather, and the others, their family would have been so happy! Lee Lee was not someone who wanted to fight with them. Kalyan and Anna were so capable. Lee never meant to fight for the Xander family’s assets. at all. It usually became dark sooner in winter. It was dark by six in the afternoon. Julian and Trevor immediately started moving fireworks. Coincidentally, snow was falling from the sky. Julian shouted to Annalise, “Annie, it’s snowing.” “Yes, let’s turn on the lights in the courtyard.” Annalise felt a rush of excitement when she heard that it was snowing, even though there had been heavy snow this year. Julian immediately turned on the lights in the courtyard. Annalise was going to the courtyard. Julian helped her put on her hat, straightened her scarf, and pulled up the zipper of her cotton eoat. He then asked her to put on gloves. Annalise chuckled. “Haha, look at me now. Do I look like a bear?” Julian had a doting look on his face. He reached out and gently scratched Annalise’s nose. “How can there be such a beautiful bear?” Annalise smiled shyly. “After some time, I’ll gain weight.” “No, no matter how fat you are, you are the most beautiful in my heart. Just like how your mom is the most beautiful in your dad’s heart,” said Julian, taking a glance at his in-laws not far away. “Okay.” Annalise smiled gently at Julian. Trevor had already lit the fireworks. In the sky, fireworks bloomed. “I want to set off small fireworks too.” Annalise pulled Julian over. Julian’s smile was even gentler.Lee also brought Heather to set off sma fireworks. Samuel stood in front of the courtyard, his eyes shifting between his grandson and granddaughter-in-law and the dazzling fireworks in the sky.
