Julian got up to his feet. Then, he slinked out of the bedroom with his head hung low. Soon, Kieran and Valerie were the only ones there. One was in good spirits, looking forward to the night's pleasures. The other pouted, clearly frustrated at Julian.Kieran observed Valerie's annoyed expression w
Julian was speechless, though he knew that Kieran was right. Kieran had already climbed the corporate ladder when he was Julian's age, while the latter hadn't achieved anything substantial.Compared with Uncle Kieran, Julian lacked the charm, the success, the capability, and the looks. There was no
Kieran glanced at Valerie, who poked her head from under the covers. His Adam's apple rumbled as he uttered, "It's in the way."When Valerie heard that, she realized her "bed" was about to be carried away. She slapped Kieran's shoulder angrily. "Where am I supposed to sleep if you remove my bed?""
When Kieran kissed Valerie, the clean fragrance of her breath comforted him. At that moment, he found comfort amidst the restlessness of the world.Kieran's tongue probed Valerie's lips, soon attacking her tongue with full force. Valerie was a novice in love. She was dominated to the extent that sh
Valerie, feeling apprehensive, lowered her head. She discreetly moved closer to Kieran. She positioned herself behind him, attempting to remain inconspicuous. Kieran was in a great mood. When he was in good spirits, he was open to suggestions from others. "I'll be more careful next time. I'll go ea
William chuckled as he watched the scene. Ever since Julian had shattered his antique porcelain vase, he enjoyed seeing whoever beat him up.Amelia was busy preparing gifts. She glanced at the gift list and confirmed the details with Martin. She didn't have time to worry about Julian's safety.In th
Emma and her husband ran into Julian that day. "Julian, you're actually Kieran's nephew?"Surprise was written on the duo's face.With the injury on the corner of his mouth, he nodded. "That's right, Mr. and Mrs. Wood."Julian deliberately tilted his face to let the duo notice his injury.The couple
Suddenly, Valerie realized that her vacation partner was supposed to be Julian. Naturally, they had to sleep in separate rooms.Kieran had an oppressive air about him as he walked over to Valerie. "Valerie, what relationship do you have with him?"They had done things that only couples did. Thus, th
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
