“These are some fruits and supplements. They’re for Sonny’s dad to replenish his body.” Liberty no longer addressed his ex-husband by his name and called him Sonny’s father, implying that she only came to visit because Hank was Sonny’s father. Without this connection, she would not want to enter Hank’s ward at all. Mr. and Mrs. Brown were also aware that Liberty was only here for the sake of their grandson. At this moment, they felt that it was right that Liberty was given Sonny’s custody in the past. Sonny had always followed Liberty and Serenity. Giving his custody to Liberty had no impact on his life, and Liberty could also give him the best education. The main thing was the small home where Liberty lived did not have many quarrels and conflicts that would affect Sonny’s young mind. “Chelsea.” Seeing that Chelsea was also present, Liberty politely greeted her ex-sister-in-law. After her divorce, Liberty was polite with her former in-laws. “Chelsea, have you recover
Mr. Brown also said, “Liberty, keep it for yourself. We’ll be content if you raise Sonny well.” Hank’s reputation had been ruined, so he probably would not remarry in the future. As for his marriage with Jessica, they would likely be divorced. In that case, the Browns would only have one grandson, Sonny. At this moment, Sonny was the most important person to Mr. and Mrs. Brown. As long as their grandson was well, everything came second. “My business is quite good, so I’m able to make some money. This isn’t much, so use it to buy some food for yourselves. I still have things to do in the store, so I’ll be heading back first. Once Sonny is on break on Saturday, I’ll bring him here to see his dad.” Liberty insisted on putting the money into Mrs. Brown’s hands. It was not much, only three hundred dollars. Mrs. Brown helplessly accepted the money and picked up the bag of fruits Liberty brought. She ran out and insisted that Liberty take the fruits away. Liberty refused, so t
This was just Chelsea’s character, but she knew how to be grateful. She added, “Besides, who is Liberty earning so much money for? It’s all for my nephew. Sonny is a Brown and will always be a Brown. Why would I sabotage them? I’d love for Liberty’s business to grow bigger so that when Sonny takes over it, I can ask him to arrange jobs for his cousins. I think he won’t refuse it.” Mr. and Mrs. Brown glared at their daughter. Being stared at by her parents, Chelsea pouted and said, “I’m just saying. Who knows what will happen in the future? For all we know, the Reptons’ business will also get better, and my children will also become rich in the future.” Following that, Chelsea got up and took out a bunch of grapes from the fruit bag and put it on the bedside table. She then picked up the rest of the grapes and box of supplements. She said to her parents, “Dad, Mom, I also just recovered and still need to rest. I’ll be heading back first. Call me again when Hank can start taking
When Liberty walked out of the inpatient department, she saw Duncan. She stopped and locked eyes with him. Soon, she walked over. “Mr. Lewis, what brings you here?” “I just finished my rehab and came out for a break. I wanted to go to your new store to look for you but happened to see you driving away, so I followed you here.” Duncan answered honestly. He saw Liberty heading to the hospital and guessed that she was visiting her ex-husband, so he followed her over to take a look. Duncan knew Liberty would not get back together with Hank, but he was still scared and on guard. As long as Liberty came to the hospital, he would either follow her here, sulked at home, or lose his temper. The good-tempered Duncan in the past was gone after his car accident, and his temper became unstable. Everyone else from the Lewises was careful toward him and even pampered him. As long as he was happy, he could do whatever he wanted. “Did you go to see Sonny’s dad?” Duncan asked. Li
Sonny was born to Liberty but seemed to be shared by everyone. Everyone loved him as if he were their own. Although Liberty and Hank were divorced, Sonny was still loved by many people. He could grow up healthy in a loving environment. “I can pick him up at four, so I’ll probably have to head to the preschool at around half-past three. Mr. Lewis, if you’re free, we can pick him up together in the afternoon. He’ll be delighted to see you.” Duncan said, “I always do rehab in the morning, and my afternoons and evenings are free. It’s boring to stay at home, so going out for walks makes me feel better.” He would receive looks of sympathy from many people whenever he went out, but as he received a lot of them, he went from a state of denial to acceptance. When he met acquaintances, he could greet them as before and was no longer afraid to face sympathetic looks from people. Duncan’s body was crippled, but not his brain. He could still do things. He had decided to return to wor
“I didn’t know you were on the other team. If my family isn’t blessed, your family will miss out too. If Hank and Liberty remarry, wouldn’t you suck up to her too?” Chelsea continued to say to George, “Not to mention asking Serenity’s husband for a job, even Liberty can arrange work for us. She opened a new store, so wouldn’t she need people to manage it for her? “If we make up, given that I’ll be her sister-in-law again, wouldn’t it be better for me instead of outsiders to take care of her new store?” George also wanted to benefit from it, but he also knew that was a dream. He pouted and said, “You’re daydreaming.” Afterward, he quickly walked away and left Chelsea behind, lest being pinched by her again. Chelsea caught up to him and still slapped him a few times. They kept following Liberty and watched her and Duncan get into the car. Duncan got into Liberty’s car. His car was driven by his bodyguard, who followed behind them. “Come on, let’s follow them.” Chelsea
The banners were hung in front of Fortress Hotel. Without Kevin’s consent, even if Hayden went over, she could not ask the people at Fortress Hotel to take them down. Hayden’s face darkened. Kevin did not show up the whole morning, so she thought it would be a peaceful day for her. Who knew that he would create something even more sensational? Well, Hayden would be on the headlines and trending topic in Jensburg. Hayden did not want to take up public resources, but given her and Kevin’s identities, she was destined to become the protagonist of trending topics should anything happen. The netizens were following the progress between them and often asked: [Has Mr. Hayden accepted Mr. Kevin?] [If the two of them end up together, will they ignore what the rest of the world thinks and hold a grand wedding?] [Both of them are handsome and rich. What a pity. How many women must’ve cried in the toilets?] Hayden entered the hotel. Her bodyguards followed her and also stopped
“Are you touched, Hayden? The words printed on the banners are from the bottom of my heart. My feelings for you are sincere.”Kevin gazed at Hayden affectionately. Hayden turned to leave but paused after taking two steps forward. She turned her head and told Kevin, “Remove the banners.”“Why? Those are my love for you and the words I want to tell you. Since you won’t listen to me when I’m talking to you, I’ll hang them here for you to look at them every day. Maybe it’ll reach your heart.”Hayden stared at Kevin for a long time before leaving. She did not know how to deal with this man. He was too shameless. How did the York family raise such a brazen person?“Hayden.”Kevin caught up to her quickly and pulled her hand. The Queen family’s bodyguards wanted to stop him but did not dare to do so. They had experienced Kevin’s fighting abilities before and knew the man was skilled.They probably could not even stop him even if they wanted to. Besides, they noticed that e
Jane suggested. Antonia added, “You guys can even leave for Wiltspoon tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You must be tired after your business trip, Mr. York. You should rest at our manor. Besides, it’s the weekend tomorrow. You can meet Ben.”Zachary smiled. “I thought about that as well, but I didn’t want to intrude.”Antonia said, “Not at all. We would love to host you. Sonny probably doesn’t want to go home yet.”She waved at Sonny, who then walked to her. She pulled him into her arms and lifted him, asking, “Do you want to play for another day or two?”“I’m fine with anything. I’ll go back when Aunt Seren does. I’ll follow her.”His mother was not back yet. Sonny did not mind either arrangement. Zachary told him, “I bet you’re having so much fun that you don’t want to go home, but your mom will return soon. Duncan has already gone to Jensburg to bring her home.”Sonny replied with a grunt. He knew about that. He was unhappy that Duncan did not bring him along to
Zachary laughed. The kids were fighting to do something so trivial. Conflicts arose often between the two boys. In the past, he, Josh, and Duncan also got into fights. However, they always reconciled quickly. No one ever took their quarrels to heart. After the bodyguards took all the gifts, Zachary led them to the courtyard. At that moment, Serenity stepped out of the house. She and Zachary stopped at the same time and stared at each other.A day apart felt like three years to them. Since they had been apart for some time, it felt as if a lot of time had passed. During those days, Serenity had been extremely worried about her husband and sister. Luckily, everything was over. “Seren.”Zachary smiled and walked toward his wife. Serenity snapped back to her senses and went to him in quick steps. The couple hugged each other tight. “You’re finally back, Zachary.”“I said I’d come to take you and Sonny home. Of course, I’d be back.”Zachary pulled away from Ser
“Honey, you have me, and my parents treat you like their own. They care for you more than they do for me and I’m their son.”Camryn shook off the pain in her heart and smiled lightly, “Yes, God has been kind to me by giving me such an excellent husband and open-minded in-laws, and sisters-in-law who I get along with like real sisters.”This had somewhat compensated for her lack of familial affection. She was especially grateful to Grandma May. If the old lady had not chosen her, Callum would not have even known who she was, let alone pursue her. The Camryn of today would not exist, and she could not imagine how many more years she would have spent living in darkness if she had not married Callum. Even if Aunt Evelyn had heard of the legendary doctor, she had no way to contact him.Right then, a customer entered the store. The couple aptly stopped their conversation there and moved on from the heavy topic.Meanwhile, in Annenburg, Serenity knew her husband would be flying here tod
Camryn smiled, “You spoil me too much. You’ll turn me into an absolute sloth who only waits around for you to take care of me, and it might tire you out.”“That won’t happen. I enjoy taking care of you,” Callum assured as he reached to help her with the snacks, but she would not let him feed her anymore. Callum had no choice but to hand her the snacks.“Although Trenton is young, he has mettle. When we put his parents away, it was hard for him to accept, but in the end, he did. As long as he has the right values, even the hardest things can be accepted over time and he won’t resent anyone else for it either.”Camryn pushed the snack box closer to her husband, indicating that he should have some too. “If Trenton didn’t have the right values, I wouldn’t care for him so much. Given the hurt and pain I suffered during the twenty-odd years under his parents, if I hated them, they’d have nothing to say in defense.“Because Trenton has treated me well since he was little, respects me as
Just now, Carrie came here and made a scene, and he had given her fifty thousand dollars. Although he had not spent much time with her, they were siblings. He could at the very least still recognize her. However, when Camryn asked him that, Trenton's heart started to race, not daring to confidently say that the lady really was Carrie.As for the young lady beside her? He had watched the video a few times but had not paid much attention to her. All he could see was a beautiful, young woman dressed in luxurious attire. In the video, he heard Camryn refer to her as Mrs. Longbottom, so her husband’s family name had to be Longbottom.Mrs. Longbottom had a good attitude toward Camryn and even supported her. He was not familiar with Mrs. Longbottom at all, though. Why did Camryn ask him that? Should he know her? Trenton watched the video two more times but could not find anything unusual about her. It was just that he was not acquainted with Mrs. Longbottom. If he had not seen the video,
The young couple looked at Trenton, then exchanged smiles.“How much did you give Carrie?” Camryn asked her brother gently. Camryn could harden her heart to completely ignore Carrie and not give her a single cent, but Trenton could not be as ruthless as she was, mainly because while Carrie had not been particularly kind to Trenton, she also had not bullied him outright. She had treated Camryn very poorly though and had never shown her any respect at all, so their sisterly bond had deteriorated to the extreme. It was already generous of Camryn not to completely destroy Carrie after taking charge, which was probably out of consideration for the fact that they shared a mother.“I-I gave her fifty thousand. She said it was almost Christmas, and she wanted to buy gifts and new clothes, so I-I gave her fifty thousand.” Trenton looked down as he spoke, not daring to look at Camryn, afraid she would scold him.Camryn gave her brother a long look but did not scold him. Instead, she took o
Callum was silent for a moment before he said, “I wanted you to get familiar with the route to my office, which is why I asked you to deliver the flowers yourself.”“Did you ever think about how difficult it was for me as a blind person? It was so hard for me to walk all the way to deliver those flowers,” Camryn retorted.Callum pulled her into an embrace and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Camryn. It was my fault for not thinking it through, which put you through a lot.”Camryn pushed him away, “We have customers constantly coming in. Don’t just hug me out of nowhere. You’re as thick-skinned as a rhinoceros, but I’m not. At that time, I was angry and silently cursed you a hundred thousand times, but your insistence actually did help me learn the way to your office and now, I can find my way there even with my eyes closed.”At that moment, Trenton returned. After Carrie left, he felt a bit down and stayed outside for a while to compose himself before coming back in. He did not wan
Just then, a customer came in wanting to buy a bouquet. Camryn first brought over some sample pictures for the customer to choose from. “No need to choose, just help me arrange a bouquet of roses. I’m going to confess my feelings,” said the young boy, a hint of shyness on his face as he spoke.Camryn smiled gently. “Alright, please wait a moment while I prepare it for you.”Callum assisted by inviting the young boy to sit down and poured him a glass of water.The boy glanced between Camryn and Callum and quietly asked, “Are you and the boss married or dating?”“We’re married. She’s my wife.”The boy expressed his envy. “You both seem very happy.”“Yeah, we are very happy. I love my wife very much, and she loves me too.”Thinking about the girl he was pursuing, the boy’s face lit up with anticipation. “I also have someone I like, and I’m going to confess to her, though I just don’t know if she feels the same. I’m a bit nervous.”Callum, drawing from his own experience, advised
“She hasn’t paid. Stop her.” Camryn was not going to let her get away with it. With a command, her two bodyguards stopped Carrie.Carrie said furiously, “Camryn, I only took a few flowers from you! You have so many flowers here. What's the big deal if I take a few? You still want me to pay? I’m your sister! Don’t you know that blood is thicker than water?!”“Blood might be thicker than water, but business is business. Anyone who buys flowers from me has to pay, including you. Besides, you’ve never treated me like an older sister. You always bring up how we’re sisters when you want to take advantage of me, but that won’t work here. My roses are freshly transported, and since you’re my sister, I’ll let you have them for twenty bucks each. You took about five stems, so just give me a hundred. I won’t rip you off.”Carrie’s expression changed in an instant. “Camryn, why don’t you just rob a bank? You’re charging twenty bucks each? You’re just a thief! Here! I don’t want them! I’d rather
