"That's right. The appeal was successful. I even told my brother to put us in the same class. The three of us will be studying together again." When Melissa first came to Zolford, she felt extremely uneasy as it was an unfamiliar place.Unexpectedly, fate had done its magic. Melissa had met two goo
"Yup." After answering, she took her pajamas to the bathroom.Her good mood lasted until the evening. Before going to bed, she continued chatting with Melissa on the phone. Feeling ecstatic from chatting, Valerie sent a voice message to her. "You won't believe how stunned Julian was when he found
On the first day of classes, Valerie went to the Office of Academic Affairs to change her major. She was accompanied by Melissa. On their way, they ran into Julian. Instantly, evil grins broke out on the two young ladies' faces. Melissa asked, "How's your dance coming along?"Julian snapped, "You
In his office, Kieran swallowed hard while the finance manager standing across him waited nervously for Kieran's instructions.Kieran's gaze slowly darkened as his wife continued admonishing him."I promise I'll come home tonight.""No, I want to see you right now," yelled Valerie before hanging up.
Valerie was utterly dumbstruck. "Me? Dating Julian? Are you out of your goddamn mind?" she snapped, rendering Kieran silent. She kept going. "Why would I marry you if I was dating Julian? Can't you come up with a better lie? It's just as terrible as you are as a person."Unlike Valerie, Kieran mai
Since meeting Valerie, Kieran had consistently been the one accommodating her—yielding on plans, moving, changing majors, and even keeping their marriage a secret. Once again, the chancellor picked up the phone. "Yes, Mr. Kingsley?"Kieran glanced at Valerie and ordered, "Don't let others know that
Kieran said, "What time does your class end? I'll pick you up.""It's fine. I'm going out with Melissa after this," Valerie replied. The other party smiled. "I wanted to be your driver for the first time, but you rejected my offer."Valerie responded, "Then, you should get used to being rejected so
"After 8:00 pm, you can't look for me or your aunt, even if the issue is urgent!" said Kieran. Julian nodded.Without Julian's interruption that night, Kieran thought that he would've been able to have sex with his wife. Thereafter, their interactions might become more harmonious. "In addition, y
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
