Lionel replied, "I'll place the order right now! First, we'll get the trellis since your mom loves wisteria. It'll be perfect for the vines… Then, we'll pick up a few hydrangeas. When they bloom in May, they'll make Xavier green with envy..."Xavier Scott was one of Lionel's colleagues. They taught
Jenny flashed a bright smile as she walked up to Mindy. She linked her arm with Harold's and said, "Well, look who it is! Fancy running into you here, Mindy."Mindy returned the smile. "Hey, Jenny.""So, what brings you and Miranda to the sales office? You're not thinking about buying a place, are y
Mindy forced a tight smile. If she could actually make money from her copyrights, she wouldn't have to wait for Miranda to buy them a villa.Sensing Mindy's impatience, Miranda stepped in. "Uncle Ronald, Aunt Jenny, my mom and I have some things to take care of, so we'll be heading out…""Oh, come o
Sophia handed the documents to Miranda.Miranda skimmed through them. After confirming they were the originals, she exchanged them for her copies.Once the exchange was done, Sophia let out a sigh of relief. "I'm really sorry. This is my first time handling a villa sale, and I'm still getting the ha
"Well…" Jenny's eyes flickered slightly. "Can this wait until tomorrow? I promise I'll come to buy it tomorrow!" The sales agent's expression dimmed. "Fine, let's talk tomorrow. However, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do if someone else decides to buy the unit in the meantime." Jenny gritted her
At that thought, Jenny couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Among the three Sutton brothers, the eldest was doing the best. There was no doubt about that. He was a business owner and had pulled ahead from normal families like theirs long ago. Next was their household. Although Harold might
Cynthia caught what Jenny was trying to tell her. "You're saying that Miranda bought the villa?" "Yes, she's really made something of herself! Unlike Quincey, who could only get a dead-end job at the power plant…" Jenny sighed. "How could a young woman like Miranda get that much money?" Jenny cov
Leonard continued, "That's not a problem. Once the payments come in and we have more cash, we can pay a bit extra and buy the villa from someone else." Rena's lips twitched. She wanted to retort that who would buy a second-hand house as a marital home? Nonetheless, her husband had made his point. C
By force? Sam chuckled. "Well, that's if you actually managed to grab hold of it."Timothy retorted, "How would you know you can't if you haven't tried?""What? Are you going to pursue Aunt Minnie? Heh… First of all, there's no way you'll get past my grandparents."Timothy made no comment on that.
"No way… Are you a big shot? You even brought your bodyguards to get drunk at a bar?" "Who knows?" Sam retorted.…Sam asked his bodyguards to stand closer deliberately so that he could finally have some peace and quiet. He poured himself another drink, but unlike last night, he didn't chug it down
Now, Timothy and Mindy were no longer the childhood sweethearts they once were. Their lives had diverged, with separate marriages and entirely different paths."Do you remember when we were kids, the promises we made about what we wanted to be when we grew up?" Timothy was the first to break the sil
Timothy waved his hand dismissively. "No need, I'll serve myself…""Nonsense! We're all family here." Before Timothy could finish, Lionel had already added two heaping servings of ribs to his plate.Timothy froze, momentarily at a loss for words.Nelly smiled sweetly, but her gaze toward Timothy was
The moment seemed to pull Timothy back in time, to when they were just young adults in their 20s. Their world revolved solely around each other, yet held back by the unspoken.His heart stirred. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Mindy stood up and broke the spell. "I sh
Nelly's smile became slightly strained. "Is that so? Lionel is truly a family man…"As everyone enjoyed their meal, the doorbell suddenly rang. Sam put down his cutlery. "I'll get it," he said, heading to the entryway.A few seconds later, his surprised voice echoed through the house. "Dad? What are
Mindy only asked Miranda to contact Sam because the two of them already knew each other.Back when Lionel's wallet was stolen at the train station, Miranda had introduced Sam to them. She called him "Mr. Cooper" and explained that he was a friend. Later, Sam had even thoughtfully dropped them off at
Fortunately, for now, Fiona was satisfied with Lionel as a son-in-law. He was gentle, attentive, and thoughtful, with decent looks and a respectable height.Having graduated from Queenstone College and now working as a physics teacher at a prestigious high school, he might not be wealthy, but he was
"A family reunion is always a good thing," Aren said with a heartfelt sigh, while Lionel nodded immediately in agreement.It was then that Mindy realized she hadn't introduced Lionel to Nelly."This is my husband," she said."Hello," Nelly responded with a faint smile. "My brother-in-law certainly l
