LOGIN“Yeah, that’s one way to go about it. You guys have to be careful.” Lilian reminded him.“We’ve always been very careful.”Jane said, “You and Noelle are both quite meticulous. We trust you.”“Noelle hasn’t given me an answer yet. I’m a little worried. What if she doesn’t accept my feelings? I just knew confessing would scare her. It might even scare her into leaving me.“There are so many troublesome things around me. Peaceful days definitely aren’t in the cards for me. She has been by my side for so long that I know that deep down inside, she actually craves peace and wants to live a normal life.”He wanted to live a normal life too, but unfortunately, he had to bear the heavy burden of avenging his family ever since he was young. Even if he wanted to live peacefully, others would not let him do so.Lilian replied, “You’re overthinking it. Noelle has been by your side for so many years. What doesn’t she know about you? Even if she rejects you, do you think she can just stay out
The new Longbottom family head was to go to Longbottom Corporation today to take over the reins of the company from Manny.Laurence got up early.He was planning to prepare breakfast for Noelle and the two elders, but when he went downstairs, he found Noelle already busying herself in the kitchen.“Good morning, Mr. Laurence.”When she saw Laurence come in, Noelle turned to greet him respectfully.“You’re up so early again. I was planning to prepare breakfast for you, Mom, and Master today.”Noelle replied, “I woke up naturally. It’s a habit. I normally wake up around this time. Mom and Master are taking a walk in the garden. Why don’t you go out and keep them company? Once breakfast is ready, I’ll call you.”Laurence looked at her intently for a moment. She met his gaze calmly, showing no signs of unease. Laurence very much wanted to ask her how she had decided, but only one night had passed when he had agreed to give her two days to think about it.Thus, he held his tongue. H
Duncan laughed, “You’re willing to accept that you’re getting old, but I’m not. I still feel young, as if we just got married.”“Right, we just got married. Jiggy’s already in her twenties, and we ‘just got married’. Everyone gets old, whether or not they’re willing to accept it.“I’m just willing to face reality. It’s not like I can actually become younger by saying I’m still young, so why lie to myself?”Duncan chuckled as he drove, “Alright, alright, let’s face reality. We’re all old now. Once Sonny gets married and has kids, we can retire and just play with the grandkids at home.”“He’s not getting married. Every time I nag him, he says he’s busy and that he will eventually get married, but when I ask him to go on blind dates, he refuses to. Serenity’s helping to keep an eye out for him too, but what good is it if he won’t even meet them?”“We’re not the ones getting married, so there’s no point in us liking the girl. He has to be the one who likes her. And he’s not the type t
Both Liberty and Duncan were equally busy. However, Duncan would get home earlier than Liberty and make sure everything was ready for her when she got back. At least, Liberty would relax without worrying about a thing at home. Usually, Duncan would be the one to take care of the minor things concerning the Fishers. Among generations of matriarchs, Duncan was widely regarded as the best husband any of them had ever had.Not only was Duncan capable, but he was gracious and commanded respect. Duncan did come from a good family, but he made it out on his own as well. He was quite a rebel in his youth. “Come on.” Liberty was not one to decline. Both of them stepped out of the house. “Should we ask Jiggy along? She should be back soon.” While walking, Liberty asked.Duncan said, “No. It will be just us.“Oh, the devoted girl dad has finally come around.” “Jiggy needs her own space and friends now that she’s older. She can’t just stick around us.” Duncan added, “No on
“Sonny, I’ll get out of your hair now. Come back when you have time, but let me know in advance, so I can set you up on a date with the girl. Trust me. She’s a nice girl.” “Got it, Mom. Just go and spend time with Dunc now. It’s been a while since you’ve been on a date with him. It’s time to experience what couples do."“Perfect time to stroll downtown. The area comes alive after dark.” Back in Havenmill, Sonny and Laurence would ditch the suits if they got out of work early to check out the boardwalk. It had a bustling vibe. “I think you’re talking about the food trucks there. Alright. I’ll check out the place with Duncan. I’m not eating anything though. No snacking after dark.” Duncan said, “What’s wrong with snacking at night? You have not gained any weight since you moved to Jensburg. Enjoy the food and don’t worry about your weight.” Her hectic workload put her under constant pressure. In the beginning, Liberty often lost sleep. Under that kind of stress, she was lu
The work was never-ending. Liberty vented. Despite this, she still handled the workload with dedication every day. Liberty was very responsible compared to the previous head of the Fishers. Although she also held tightly to the great power, she was much better to the family members. She gave every talented young member of the family a chance, never worrying that they would develop ambitions of taking her place.Liberty had the power and means to put them in their place. In fact, most family members did not have big ambitions. Given a chance, they would fulfill their roles. All they sought was stability. They would not look for trouble so long as they could make a decent living. Liberty took on the responsibility of a leader without connections or support. Yet, she handled everything with unwavering confidence.Jeanne, on the other hand, grew up in the family. The family knew what she was made of. When it came time for Jeanne to take over, she would have an easier time
Liberty felt that her sister’s suggestion was not bad, and she replied, “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”Zachary looked at the time and said gently, “Liberty, Seren, once we reach town, let’s go eat first. We adults won’t be hungry, but Sonny is still a kid—he won’t be able to hold out and will probab
Well, Grandma May was occupied getting her other grandsons to ditch the singlehood. Inspired by her first successful matchmaking, the old lady wanted to keep the momentum going and put her other grandsons, who were at the right age to marry but stayed single anyway, on the market. All that was left
When Remy and Elisa could no longer see Andrew’s car, they prepared to return to the hotel. However, Mrs. Stone walked out of the hotel. “Mrs. Stone,” Remy greeted. Mrs. Stone nodded as a form of acknowledgment. Then, she said to Elisa, “Elisa, can you accompany me to the night market? I haven’t wal
Serenity watched Duncan walk out of the ward.After that, she turned her eyes to her husband. Zachary looked very calm as though Duncan’s reaction was within his expectation.Zachary saw Duncan off.“Seren, your store must be busy. You should return to your store.”“Liberty, let me accompany you.”“I don
