Kieran frowned. "How much did Dad eat?""Valerie said he had three ice creams, and I think she's right. "Dad wanted more, but Valerie stopped him from having more. She was afraid his body couldn't handle it. Valerie was the first one who noticed Dad's complexion was off in the evening. "She asked
"He ate another red bean ice cream, two cones, and a crushed ice slush."Valerie was shocked. She could strain her body, too, if she ate that much. Of course, an elderly person in his 70s would face serious consequences for eating that much.Hearing that, Kieran clutched his hand and relaxed. "I go
Valarie wanted to escape Kieran's uncomfortable embrace. His body was like a furnace. Coupled with the hot weather, she was breaking into a sweat when she'd just taken a shower.To her surprise, Kieran said, "Take off your clothes if you feel hot.""...Forget it."Kieran chuckled. He then slightly
Valarie turned her head and saw Kieran's hand on her shoulder but didn't move away. Instead, she asked, "Darling, do you know you have a habit when holding hands?""What is it?"Valerie took his hand and held it for a moment before suddenly letting it go. Kieran's hand then reflexively tightened aro
Amelia was resting her head on her hands, sleeping lightly. Valerie softly patted her shoulder to wake her up. "Amelia."When Amelia awoke and saw the couple, she asked, "Why are you guys here so early?"Valerie put the breakfast on the table and sat next to her. "Kieran and I decided to come early
Valerie pursed her lips. "It is, but it feels awkward."The two were busy talking and neglected William. Amelia was right when she said that they didn't know how to take care of others.Valerie kept giving William water while Kieran stayed by his side, occasionally looking at the drip.Unable to bea
Valerie was not having it. "I'm smart, William. You must be too old to think there's something wrong with my head." "I don't know how you came up with that idea. Smart? You're just imagining it," William said.Valerie snapped back, "Just like you're imagining that you have hair." Kieran's smile w
"Yeah, it's okay, Anthony. If you miss Val, you can take her with you to spend some time together." William was eager to shoo his daughter-in-law away. She had a knack for getting under his skin, and he doubted he could handle any more of her antics if she stayed. Valerie looked at William lying i
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
