"Darling, you're quite the card shuffler. Do you do this for other people often?" Valerie watched in admiration as Kieran skillfully shuffled the cards.William chuckled and said, "When Mr. Kingsley plays cards, who would dare to ask him to shuffle?"Valerie's eyes were fixed on her husband's hands.
Valerie had no self-control and was already charmed by him."Val, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and stick them on, then we can play a few more rounds," said William, eager to continue with his distracted daughter-in-law.Being younger, Valerie couldn't escape Kieran's trap once he set his sight
"Huh?" Valerie was in great pain, but she was still concerned about her husband. "There's nothing in my mouth. Darling, are you feeling unwell?"Kieran moved closer to Valerie and wrapped his hand around her, "Open wide and take this medication.""Oh? You bought this medication for me?" Valerie aske
Kieran sat next to her and protected her. "She was feeling unwell last night.""Are you ill too?" Julian asked in concern.Valerie waved. "It's shark week."Julian instantly understood why she looked so weak. "You have my moral support to pull through these few days. All the best," Julian said whil
Kieran raised Valerie's chin and bent over to kiss her. Valerie gasped, which gave him the perfect chance to deepen the kiss. It was so intense that she had nowhere to hide.Valerie couldn't push him away as he would not budge. She moaned and shook her head, wanting to explain herself. Unfortunat
A housekeeper asked carefully, "Ms. Valerie, are you done with your food?"Valerie shook her head and pointed at the food on the table, "This, the potatoes, the steak, and the clam chowder. Pack them all in insulated containers for me."The household staff looked at each other. They had no clue what
Kieran maxed out the volume of the elevator footage. His smile could no longer be hidden by his hand.His adorable kitten was here to bring him his lunch, and she had a bunch of thoughts running through her mind. To say that he was in a good mood was an understatement. Even if someone came in righ
Valerie nodded.Kieran didn't expose her because he didn't want to embarrass her. So even if he knew that Valerie had lied to him earlier, he chose to believe it.He felt like he had been possessed. He was smiling the whole time he was having lunch.Valerie, however, had no appetite. She could not s
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
