“Ms. Stone.”Julian’s familiar voice sounded ahead.Elisa and Remy, who were in a good mood, suddenly wanted to teleport home so they did not have to see Julian’s smug and smiling face.Julian really was smug.He saw Remy beside Elisa and how their fingers were tightly interlocked intimately.However, he still acted like a glaring third wheel.Remy’s handsome face instantly darkened.He was glad he followed Elisa back to Wiltspoon early instead of listening to his mother when she tried to make him stay longer. If he had let Elisa return to Wiltspoon by herself, then she would definitely have been picked up by Julian.Julian clearly did not have any feelings for Elisa, but he still clung to her tightly. Not only did he send her gifts every day, but as long as she had to leave Wiltspoon, he would be her personal airport transfer. He was even more diligent than Remy.“Ms. Stone, I’ve been waiting for half an hour. You’re finally here. I thought you had already left.”Julian wore
“Mr. Johnson, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to sit in my car. I’ll understand. I came here to pick up Ms. Stone. You’re just an add-on. If the add-on doesn’t want to be an add-on, then you can find your way back.”Julian spoke with a smile, but to Remy, every word sounded like thorns, pricking at his heart.Julian asked Elisa, “The suitcase in Mr. Johnson’s hand is yours, right? It’s pink so it should be yours. Girls like pink.”Then, he stepped forward and took the suitcase from Remy, brought it to the back of the car, and easily placed it in the trunk. After closing the trunk, he smiled at Elisa and said, “I reserved a table at Wiltspoon Hotel and ordered your favorite dishes. We can go eat right away.“You can go home after the meal, or if you want to go on a stroll, I can arrange for someone to accompany you.”In other words, he would not accompany Elisa himself.Julian came to pick Elisa up, but he planned to leave once he sent her back.His father found out that Zach
After thinking about it, Julian added with a smile, “But I can understand. Serenity has been married to Zachary for a year, and many outsiders say that she’s infertile. Now that she’s expecting, they must be relieved. It’s natural for everyone to be happy for her.”Remy chimed in, “Many people will be happy for you too if you can become a father in the future, Mr. Bucham.”Julian had hypoactive sexual desire disorder. If he did not meet a woman who could evoke a response from him, he could never become a real man in his life. He would be like an eunuch, let alone become a father.Remy’s words struck Julian, but fortunately, Julian was an open-minded person.Although he had this disorder, he did not care. It was not life-threatening, so the worst-case scenario was for him to remain single for the rest of his life. Being single was quite nice for him.He smiled and said, “If I have the opportunity to become a father, I don’t know if it’ll make others happy, but my old man will defin
“That’s because they’re blind and can’t see a treasure that is right in front of them.”Remy pulled her into the Stone family villa and spoke as he walked, “I’m glad they’re blind though, otherwise I’d get jealous if I had a whole bunch of love rivals.”Elisa giggled.She felt relaxed and at ease with Remy as it was her true personality that he fell for.After sending the young couple home, Julian left the Stones’ residence and headed straight to his home. He coincidentally ran into Jasmine, who had been called back by her mother-in-law.When Jasmine’s bodyguard saw Julian’s car, he quickly pulled over to the side and let Julian’s car pass first.Julian and Jasmine rolled down their car windows at the same time.“Julian,” Jasmine greeted.Julian hummed gently and asked, “Why are you coming home at this time?”When Jasmine resumed watching over the bookstore, she had always returned home at night.“Mom called me back. There’s something she wants me to do, so I’m here.”Juli
The nutritionist did not interfere with everyone’s freedom to eat out. She was invited by her aunt to take care of the family’s diet, so she only had a say over those who ate at home. Her reach did not extend to those who ate outside.Now, her main focus was Jasmine.Josh was the first in their generation to get married, and the baby in Jasmine’s womb would be the firstborn of the next generation. The whole Bucham family attached great importance to this, not just Rebecca.To ensure that Jasmine would give birth to a healthy and intelligent baby, the recipes for pregnant women that she formulated were rich in nutrition. The dishes themselves were naturally of high quality and varied every day. The recipes would not change regardless of Jasmine liking them or not.Fortunately, Jasmine was a foodie and was not picky about food.They always got along well.When Rebecca and the nutritionist heard footsteps, they both turned to look at the door.“Jasmine.”Seeing that her daughter-i
Theresa glanced at Rebecca and the other did not say anything, so she stopped talking as well.After all, Jasmine was her aunt’s daughter-in-law.The baby in her belly was also the next generation of the Bucham family. Theresa was only here to give nutritional advice.In fact, there was not much that Rebecca could say either. The food was made by her in-laws, and Jasmine did not go back to her home to eat every day either. There was no problem eating it once in a while.“I’ll go to the washroom,” Jasmine said and hurried there.After she left, Theresa said softly, “Aunt Rebecca, will Jasmine blame me for saying too much and being controlling? Pickled products should be consumed less, even for normal people. Pickled food never appears on our families’ dining tables, but Jasmine fancies them so much.“She even ran back to her home to eat it. Are the meals I planned for her aren’t to her liking? It was you who called me here, and I only came because of you and Josh.”Rebecca said s
However, Jasmine did not expect Theresa to have so many opinions about her.Fortunately, Theresa was just Josh’s cousin. Although she was the Bucham family’s nutritionist, she did not usually stay in the Bucham residence. She only came often after Jasmine got pregnant. Even if she had a problem with Jasmine, it would not affect Jasmine.Rebecca mentioned Serenity, thinking that the York family would also hire a nutritionist to make a meal plan for her daily diet.Maybe they would, but the York family would not control Serenity.A few minutes after Rebecca and Theresa stopped talking, Jasmine finally came out of the washroom.“Jasmine, did you have a stomachache?” Rebecca asked with concern.“No.”Jasmine said with embarrassment, “I always bring my phone when I go to the washroom.”She did not continue, but everyone understood what she meant.People nowadays liked to take their phones when they went to do their business.“Jasmine, you should spend less time on your phone. Ther
Putting aside his status and family background, his appearance alone was one of the best among men. He was not inferior to Zachary, Josh, and the others.Julian looked at the girl in the photo and could not help but lower his head to kiss it. A dopey smile emerged on his face.So, this was how normal men reacted.He had been single for over thirty years, and this was his first time experiencing such a feeling.In the past, he thought he never had a reaction because his standards were too high, and he looked down on ordinary women. When he was a little older, he went to adult establishments but still no reaction came to him. Only then did he realize that it was not a problem with his standards, but his constitution.However, he did not want to have it checked because of his ego.When he turned thirty, his parents urged him to get married. He also had enough of playing around, so he finally went to a reputable doctor to get himself examined.It was diagnosed that he had hypoactive
