"Yelar was also a big city with a lot of people coming and going. She had managed issues of overcharging and gouging customers before."Whitney nodded. "Your aunt managed it quite well."Caleb said, "That’s only on the surface. Big cities have to set an example, but privately, some people still do those things. But Jisaston is a small city. Its tourism isn’t very developed, and the economy is relatively stable. People generally didn't worry about food or drink, and life was plain yet flavorful, so..."He didn't finish his sentence, but Whitney already understood the meaning.Managing a small city was even harder.And if you destroyed someone's livelihood, they would definitely fight back."Just do what you can." Caleb patted her head and carried the dishes out. "Let’s eat first. We can think of solutions later."Blake began planning the wedding.Yvonne didn't say much, but he could guess what she wanted.Of course, he didn't forget to ask Georgina.Georgina didn't quite appro
He spoke as he placed the gift box he was holding on her desk.Whitney's expression turned serious. "What are you doing?"The person in charge said, "We are all colleagues, we should help each other, not sabotage each other. Besides, many people have it hard, it's not good to ruin someone's livelihood. Don't you agree?"Whitney said, "I don't oppose merchants making money, but gouging customers is unacceptable. Not only that, they use inferior goods as well."The person in charge said, "What you said was a bit too harsh. During peak seasons, there will be some price premiums, but all within reasonable limits. What you saw that night was an isolated case, and I have already dealt with it."What he meant was that he didn't want her to interfere.But whose money wasn't hard-earned?Price premiums during peak season were understandable.But how could it be like this during the off-season?Not all tourists came during peak seasons."If you can manage it well, I definitely won't in
A man's deep and attractive voice sounded, filled with tenderness.Whitney's heart suddenly skipped a beat.She hurried into the fitting room.In the end, she was just too tired and begged Lia to stop.It just happened to be dinner time, so they ate at the shopping center.Lia asked, "Not staying another night?"Whitney shook her head. "I still have work to do in Jisaston."Lia didn't insist, only said kindly, "Since you've remarried, you are family to me now. If you’re not busy, come back more often. I don’t have much time left."Whitney frowned. "Grandma, don't say that. You still have plenty of time left."Lia smiled, "Gilbert and Millie already have children. Seeing the next generation makes me happy. If it’s possible, I hope you can have a child as well, Whit. I will feel at ease seeing you all have children."Caleb poured tea for Lia. "You already have great-grandchildren, don't rush us. We like it when there’s only the two of us."He knew Grandma was doing this for hi
This was the first time that Whitney had experienced the feeling of having family.Especially Lia, who was really very kind.So kindly that it was impossible to refuse."He is very good," said Whitney. "It's my problem, Grandma, but..."Caleb's heart skipped a beat.Whitney continued, "There’s no problem on my side, thank you, Grandma."She didn't intend to respond to the matter of saving Caleb.It was a small matter. There was no need to keep mentioning it.Like trying to repay a favor."That's good then." Lia smiled and took her to buy clothes.Caleb handed the things in his hands to someone to take to the car first.His mood relaxed, and he sat down in the waiting area."Grandma, I have clothes to wear, there’s no need to buy any clothes for me, and it's inconvenient for me to carry them back to Jisaston.""How can it be inconvenient with a private plane?" Lia picked a few clothes for her to try on. "You don't have to carry them. Caleb will handle everything."Whitney
Yvonne stepped out of his arms, put down her wine glass, and still didn't respond.Blake followed her into the bathroom, watching as she tied up her hair and prepared to remove her makeup.He leaned against the door, watching her intently, then asked, "Which city do you want to hold the wedding in?"This time Yvonne spoke, "Harborwood."Blake was annoyed and snorted.Yvonne bent down to wash her face, he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.He kissed her on the neck.There was face wash on Yvonne's face, so she elbowed him.Blake didn't let go but tightened his hold.Yvonne quickly finished washing her face and flicked the water in her hands onto his face. "Get lost."Blake closed his eyes briefly, then opened them to look at her, smirking, "That was straightforward.""You really have no shame.""Thanks for the compliment."Yvonne broke free from him, "Get out, I'm going to take a shower."Blake picked her up. "Let's have a shower together."The next
After dinner, Whitney went to help, but Caleb didn’t let her do anything.Plus, Yvonne called her to join her in the bathroom.So she went upstairs.In the bathroom upstairs, Yvonne lit a cigarette and asked her, “What made you come to terms with it?”She was talking about the remarriage.“I haven’t come to terms with it.” Whitney honestly hadn’t.Remarriage was just...She didn’t have anything to hide from Yvonne.“It’s like this...”After hearing her, Yvonne was a little surprised—more surprised than when she first learned about the remarriage.“I admire the way that you think...”But Yvonne didn’t think Caleb was trying to control the initiative.Maybe at first, he reached out to her because of that life-saving debt.But in the years they spent together afterward, no matter her attitude, he never really got angry.Even if he got angry, he would soothe himself and not lose his temper with her.Later, he waited for three years, and his feelings never changed.That was
