LOGINHeath waited until everybody had buckled up before driving away from the hotel. Sonny said, “I didn’t expect you to pick us up. I was thinking about driving there.” He had already declined the offer, but Heath insisted on coming along. “Dad couldn’t stand me hanging around the house, so I dropped by. I didn’t want to get in Dad’s way.” Sonny said with a smile, “Uncle Zack sure adores you.” Heath was Zachary’s firstborn. Of course, Zachary’s heart went out to him. Though Zachary showered Callia with all the love in the world after she came along, Heath still had a special place in his heart. While on the way, the adults talked shop. With the business talk going over his head, Koben focused on his toys. Everly assumed that Koben had an incredible attention span since he stayed quiet, never bored with his two toys. Word on the street was that the Yorks had great family values and good genes. The rumor must be right because a five-year-old carried himself well. Ever
Kaden said, “Two is fine too, but you need to get into the dating scene and find a boyfriend. I’d love to have two great-grandchildren when you get married.” Everly said to Sonny in resignation, “Look at him. He will talk my ear off about getting married every chance he gets. Mr. Brown, is your family the same?” “Yes. They drop hints here and there, but they don’t force me into anything. They told me not to settle just for the sake of it, but I assured them that I won’t be single forever. I’m not going to avoid marriage. “But I want to wait until the right person comes along.“I’m still waiting for the universe to send me the one.” The pair bonded over the pressure to get married. Sonny led Kaden and Everly out of the hotel. “Over here, Sonny.” Winding down the car window, Heath waved and called out to Sonny. Koben lowered his window, his eyes peeking through. Spotting an old man and a guy next to Sonny, Koben asked, “Are they Sonny’s guests? “Why does the guy look d
“Heath said that we’re not getting out of the car.” Sonny answered with a smile, “Okay. We’ll be right there.” After the call, Sonny turned to Kaden and Everly. “Heath’s here. He’s waiting for us at the hotel entrance. Let’s head out.” Everly helped Kaden up as the latter said, “I thought I heard a child’s voice.” “That’s Heath’s youngest cousin. The boy is five this year. He won’t leave his older cousins alone now that the summer is here. He ditches his own parents for his cousins any day.” The realization hit Kaden. He sure envied the Yorks for having a huge family. If the Flemmings were blessed with more children, Kaden would smile in his sleep. While the Flemmings had been lucky in wealth, there was no male heir left in the family. Everly was the only next-generation focus. As Everly was the only heiress, their relatives set their sights on Flemming Group, wanting a piece of the pie. Many people advised Kaden to marry Everly off and adopt a boy to leave his inheri
Back at Wiltspoon Hotel, Sonny, Kaden, and Everly were not in a hurry to leave the buffet. They stayed and chatted. Since Sonny took his time, Kaden and Everly did not feel right pushing him. “Aunt Serenity sent Lil’ Bun to pick us up.” Sonny explained the reason why they could relax for a bit. Everly replied, “She sure is kind. We could’ve just driven there.” It kept things simple. “Mr. Brown, by Lil’ Bun, did you mean Heath York?” Everly asked. Sonny nodded with a smile. “That’s his nickname. Aunt Serenity didn’t get pregnant until over a year into her marriage. Heath is her firstborn and the eldest son of the Yorks. He has the whole family’s heart. “It was cute to call his nickname when he was little, and it became a habit. When his little sister was born, she was nicknamed ‘Lil’ Pie’. Together, they make the family’s sweetest jewels.” Everly grinned. “They are precious to the family.“How old is Mr. York’s sister now?” “She’s a fresh college grad. She’s turnin
Callia paused to think if it had been more than six months since they last saw each other. Somehow, she recalled running in Xavier every month as the latter would make time to take business trips to her college town, conveniently spending time with her there. York Corporation had a branch office where she went to school. Of course, someone from headquarters had to attend to assignments at the branch office, and that person was always Xavier. “Laurence, take care of yourself. Don’t take on too much.” “I’m alright. I’m used to the workload. Things are a little hectic since Sonny is in Wiltspoon, but my workload will ease up once he’s back next month. “Go and grab some breakfast. I’ll get out of your hair. I have a meeting to catch.”“Bring Noelle along for dinner when you can make time. The place is going to be lively when you visit.” Laurence agreed to the proposal with a smile. There was no telling when he would be available to visit the O’Connors. Though Laurence and
“What? Xavi only left today?” Koben grew furious, learning that Xavier’s flight was today. He whined, “Heath didn’t tell me that. Xavier said nothing too. I bet he snuck off to steal you away. “Don’t let him win, Callie. You’re my family, not his. He doesn’t have a girl in his family, so he’s trying to take you from me.” Callia said with a smile, “Relax. I’ll always be family. No one can change that.“I think Heath might have forgotten to let you know. Who are the guests coming today?” Callia asked curiously. It was her way to change the subject before the chatterbox obsessed over the issue. Eden often said that Koben took after Rowan in talking someone’s ear off. From what Callia remembered, Rowan could keep the conversation going. Serenity said Rowan was the nicest when she was first introduced to the Yorks. Rowan, on the other hand, knew who held the power, so he had been kissing up to her since day one. “I don’t know them. Heath and I are driving to the hotel to
“Sonny is still a child. As his aunt, you didn’t even prepare a Christmas gift for him, and you have the nerve to ask him for one?! Have you even prepared gifts for your mother and me?“Liberty is rich now because of her capability. Now that she’s well-off, you expect her to prepare Christmas gifts
After half an hour, Liberty and Duncan finally arrived at the hotel. They bumped into Zachary and Kevin, who had also just returned.“You’re here, Duncan.”Zachary walked toward them. “Hi, Liberty.”Kevin walked over as well. “I told Zachary that you’d be here in no time. Being apart from your girlfrie
Caroline sighed internally once again. She would not ruminate about the past, and neither could she bring herself to. Mr. Foster was still alive, but he had returned to seek revenge for his master, and in doing so, he made Belinda fully realize that she would never receive his love in this lifetim
Before Rowan took Sonny away, he did not forget to inform Serenity about it. He even told Quinn, “Sonny and I are going to play, Quinn.”Serenity nodded with a smile. She told Quinn, “Let’s go over too.”Although she could not enjoy the facilities at the playground, she could watch them play. Quinn wa
