Valerie went to change her clothes. Once they got back home after visiting Kieran's mother's grave, Valerie suddenly thought of something and called out to Kieran. "Can we talk?""What is it? Did your dad ask you for my help so quickly?""My dad?" Valerie asked in confusion. "Did something happen?
Before Kieran could figure out what the Woods were up to, Valerie called him.At first, Kieran didn't know that it was Valerie calling him. He only realized it once he was greeted by a cheerful voice. "Uncle Kieran!"His temple throbbed at that, and he growled, "Valerie Wood!""Don't be like that, U
Valerie had no idea what Kieran said in response to William's outburst. But she heard William say darkly, "Kieran, I may be old, but I've still got a temper. You have half an hour to come home."After that, William huffed as he hung up.He pointed at Valerie, who was still frozen from shock. "Valeri
"What exactly did you tell my dad?" Kieran demanded."I could ask the same of you! What did you tell your dad to make him demand an apology from you?" Valerie countered with her head still trained on the ground. She pinch Kieran's wrist with all her might. Both of them were clearly suffering.Since
The sun shone brightly on Emma and Anthony from where they stood next to Kieran's car. Breaking out into a smile, Valerie cleared her throat. Her eyes were also curved into crescents from how big her smile was. She exclaimed, "Mom, Dad, I'm home with Kieran!"Kieran took the gifts out of the backse
Just as Anthony was about to answer, Valerie called, "Dad, Kieran. It's time to eat!"After their meal, Kieran gave Valerie a bit more time to chat with her parents. They left in the afternoon.As they left, Valerie rolled down her window. She watched as her parents' silhouettes grew smaller and sma
Unbeknownst to Valerie, Kieran's eyes have never left her since they arrived at Kingsley Estate."Kieran, we've both helped each other out today, so we're even, all right?" she said.Then, she continued skipping back up the stairs.Kieran's gaze followed her as she left until she disappeared into th
Kieran stood still for two whole minutes. Then, he sighed softly and went upstairs with an impassive expression on his face.When Valarie saw him, she was surprised. "I thought you were going to go on a date. Why are you back so soon?"Kieran shot her a mean look and walked into the walk-in closet.
Valerie and Morgan held sparklers in their hands and exclaimed, "We're lighting up the night just for you."Julian was left stunned and without words.Inside Kingsley Estate, a warm and cozy feeling enveloped everything. It felt like a pleasant spring day. The sound of the television softly humming
Morgan blinked and asked, "Wait, are you only marrying me to, you know, sleep with me?""Yep." Bennett nodded.Morgan blushed without meaning to. She didn't think Bennett would be so straightforward."Just because you want to sleep with me doesn't mean it'll happen. Dream on," Morgan snorted. Lately
After Kieran had some water, he refilled the glass and handed it to Valerie. Valerie, lazy to move, drank from the glass in his hand.Oliver, now fully-fed, turned around and stared curiously at his mom who was drinking water. Everything in the world was new to him.Kieran let Valerie deal with Oliv
Oliver rested on Kieran's chest. With his foot on Kieran's shirt, he placed his hand on Kieran's strong shoulder. Tired from all the crying and wailing, he quietly enjoyed a sunbath with a squint, oblivious to the grudge that Julian held against him.Julian was forced to join the meeting due to Kier
Julian pointed out, "But Oliver keeps crying and won't take any milk."Kieran stared at the scowl on Oliver's face and felt bad for the little one as the father. After a pause, he resumed bottle-feeding Oliver slowly. Then, he said to Julian, "You should go back to work."By this time, Oliver was t
After Valerie brought it up, Amelia realized that Morgan was nowhere to be seen all day. Valerie tapped into Morgan's Facebook profile and showed it to Amelia. "Look, it's Bennett's off day today. See, there's a guy's hand in Morgan's photo she just posted."Valerie did not even need to guess the id
That conversation reminded Kieran of Valerie, who was in her prime but was cooped up at home all day. He didn't recall seeing Valerie go clothes shopping.When he got back home, he opened the closet to check for Valerie's clothes. When he turned around, he found Valerie cleaning the baby's backside.
Kieran asked, "A president is human too, no? How could I miss my wife and my son's health check-ups just because I'm too busy? Did I hire my assistant hired solely to take care of my family affairs? The nanny is not omnipresent either, you know.""Well, the company presidents I know are always busy
No one thought that William would agree to it so quickly.Even Valerie was wrong.She looked at her husband and awaited an explanation.Kieran looked at her and smiled, then put his hand over hers.Valerie knew from this gesture that he had predicted this from the start. She was still too naive to p
