Walter made his way to the sofa and placed the yellow envelope on the coffee table. Sinking his bottom onto the sofa, he turned his head and commanded his son to hurry over and pick a wife. “Dad, I told you. I’m not interested in these women,” Julian replied as he drew close. Walter uttered with a stern face, “You didn’t even look at them. How can you know that you’re not interested in them? I found you girls aged twenty-four this time. The psychic said that the woman destined for you is twenty-four years old this year. I wonder if she would mind the ten-year age gap since you’re a lot older. Anyway, I will help you get the lady even if she minds.” Julian scowled and responded, “If she and I are meant to be, I don’t need your help. I will take matters into my own hands and pursue her.” He was not a helpless man who needed help. Sure, Julian enjoyed his bachelor life in the past and did not want to be tied down by marriage so quickly. Now that he had a diagnosis of his il
Since Julian showed no positive reaction to the photos, Walter stuffed the prints back into the envelope in disappointment. He dejectedly uttered, “I wonder when you will find the girl. Grandma May is back, so I can meet with her. Maybe I can get her to invite the psychic to tell us where the girl is now.” Julian replied, “Dad, the psychic said that he won’t meet with us or Grandma May anymore since it’s written in the stars. The psychic has his principles. We probably can’t see him even if we try.” Walter had no words. It was true that the psychic said so. The psychic was willing to meet with Walter and give a reading for his son because their paths were meant to cross. It was goodbye since their path ended there. The psychic said the connection between the Buchams and Grandma May was intertwined, so his role in her story was over after meeting them. He asked Grandma May not to bother him again. Although Grandma May was hesitant, she respected the psychic’s wishes.
“We can’t anymore. The psychic said that it was the end of the road for us and Grandma May, so there won’t be future meetings. The psychic told us not to look for him, and even if we did track him down, he wouldn’t meet us. These clairvoyants play by the book, and it’s all about timing.” Stacy sighed. “I guess it’s a waiting game now.” She wondered and pined for the day she would meet her future daughter-in-law. “The brat could at least start the search or something, but he doesn’t seem to be around. God knows what he’s occupied with. Either way, whatever will be, will be. He’ll get married when it’s time without us pushing him to it.”Stacy added, “It’s not as if we can push him into marriage anyway.” It was out of their hands that their son ended up with such an illness. Julian, still in the study, took a picture of the girl on the keychain. He told his men to track her down. Since he found the keychain at the airport, the girl must be either arriving or departing Wiltsp
The setting sun caressed Hayden’s face with its rays, but even the sunlight could not melt her icy expression. Likewise for the blazing sun at noon, which was likely to fail in softening her tensed facial lines. “Kevin, I told you I don’t like flowers. Stop giving me flowers!” Hayden said as she shoved the bouquet away so that nothing could come in her path of leaving. Kevin took her hand, but Hayden broke free from his grasp. “Hayden, I’m trying to win you over. Flowers are a must to get me a wife.” Since Kevin followed Hayden along like a puppy, Hayden’s security detail was tempted to sneak up from behind and give him a kick in the derriere. Alas, they could only envision the scene in their heads as they could not possibly lay a hand on Kevin in reality. Donald and Sophia were not the only ones nice to Kevin. Even Hayden tolerated Kevin’s behavior. Hayden may appear annoyed every time Kevin showed up, but their employer had been patient with Kevin. The worst Hayden wou
It took several minutes before Hayden was about to slam the door and keep Kevin out of the car. When she thought she could finally leave the office, she was stopped by yet another suitor. It was Celine. Celine watched as Kevin’s shameless attachment rendered Hayden helpless. It was then Celine realized she must be bold to express her feelings and court Hayden if she liked him. Regardless of Hayden’s reaction or acceptance, Celine must work hard to prove her love. Celine still believed she was saving Hayden from a disaster. Kevin was a man. Hayden was also a man. There was still a lot of discrimination against same-sex couples in many parts of the world. The relationship was doomed right from the start. Most importantly, Hayden was not gay, and he despised Kevin. Celine wanted to adopt Kevin’s approach and pushed the competition away. Since she and Hayden were a man and woman, Hayden might just end up with her. It should send a strong message to Kevin to let Hayde
Celine broke free from the two security guards and turned back to give one of them a slap in the face. She yelled, “You’re nothing but watchdogs. You have no right to touch me. Do you think you can hurt me because I’m not the real heiress of the Fisher family? Even the real heiress has to think twice before crossing me.”Then came a smack. It did not come from Celine though. The security guard who was slapped returned the favor. Since the security guard was a man, he packed a lot of force into the slap. The heavy blow threw Celine off. With a hand over her cheek, she glared at the security guard in disbelief. The burning pain pulled Celine back to reality as she furiously swung her arm. Nevertheless, the security guard was not going to take her abuse lying down. He dodged Celine’s incoming palm and pushed her away. Celine staggered back until she regained footing. “How dare you hit me, b*stard! I’m going to kill you for pushing me!” Once she kept to her feet, Celine pi
“Hayden will not like you. You’re a man!” Celine blurted in anger before storming off. She could not beat Kevin. Her mother often reminded her to avoid taking Kevin head-on as York Corporation stood behind Kevin. Even her mother had to tread carefully around Kevin. Kevin told the two security guards, “You can get back to work. Don’t bother with this psycho. Don’t worry, I have your back.” Well, he was curious to see if Madam Fisher would get even with him on the imposter’s behalf. Kevin got a handle on the situation after Mrs. Stone’s discreet trip with Liberty to Jensburg—the Fishers and the Yorks were on opposite sides. Madam Fisher caused the death of Serenity’s grandmother! The two security guards thanked Kevin and went back to their posts. It was not as though they were afraid as they were merely carrying out Mr. Hayden’s orders to drag Celine away. Celine was playing with fire to block Mr. Hayden’s way. Celine should consider herself lucky that Mr. Hayden did n
How could Caroline possibly ditch the client for Celine at a time like this? Even if she did not need to meet a client, Caroline would not pick Celine up. The phony had occupied everything that was hers, and now that the truth was out, Celine never once apologized to Caroline. In fact, Celine pushed her around, so why should she fetch Celine from Queen Enterprise? “Who called you?” asked Madam Fisher tenderly as she noticed her daughter answering a call and promptly hanging up without a word.“It was Celine.” “What does she want now? Why did she call you?” The mother and daughter walked into the hotel. “She said her car is broken and ordered me to pick her up right away.” Caroline kept her tone flat. “Mom, I can’t possibly leave now to fetch her. I have a valid reason if she goes complaining to you.” Looking upset, Madam Fisher said, “Got it. I will talk to her if she comes to me. She does nothing all day long. You have to work, and we’re meeting an important client now.
