After Valerie heard the door close behind Kieran, she rolled off the couch and hurried to the bathroom.She grabbed a glass and started filling it with water from the tap. Then, she took large gulps. She hoped that she could fill her stomach up by drinking lots of water.By the time Kieran returned,
Kieran suddenly realized that there was no trace of Valerie's belongings in the walk-in closet either.In fact, it seemed like Valerie hadn't left anything of hers anywhere in the mansion.Kieran shifted his gaze toward the couple of suitcases that were tucked away in the corner and wondered if all
Kieran glanced at Valerie coldly before walking away.Valerie made eye contact with William and pointed at Kieran's retreating figure. "Sorry, Dad. I'll have to run after my husband again."With that, she quickly caught up with Kieran.They spoke softly to each other. Anyone who stood close by could
"If he truly loved her, then why didn't he marry her instead? It's clear that he doesn't love her anymore," Valerie responded calmly."Take a long, hard look at yourself, Valerie Wood. You ooze poverty from every pore on your body. "You, of all people, know just what tricks you pulled to get marrie
Once Valerie had everything figured out, she came up with a new strategy.She decided to live peacefully for the remaining 12 days.During this time at Kingsley Estate, she rarely left the bedroom. She also tried her best to avoid William and Amelia.She thought that she could continue to avoid thos
William pointed at the fighting women and barked out, "Quick! Separate those two!"None of the housekeepers dared to do so. At that moment, Kieran and Martin suddenly rushed into the room upon hearing the commotion.When they saw that Valerie had pinned Amelia to the ground, they hurried over.Kiera
Kieran was rarely home. Due to his marriage, he was home longer than usual this time.Although he was often away, the household staff who worked at the Kingsley Estate knew his temper and personality well. Everyone knew that he was cold and ruthless. Nobody could control him—not even William.Julia
Kieren deliberately padded. He made sure that his footsteps didn't make any noise.He walked toward the couch and took a seat. He eavesdropped on Valerie's conversation with her family."Oh, you're talking about my husband? He's extremely nice to me. It was he who told me to go out shopping if I was
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
