"Darling, my stomach hurts," Valerie rolled on the bed and ended up next to Kieran. Kieran was sitting on the bed reading a book. He glanced at her and let her continue pretending to be in pain."Darling, my stomach hurts so much, it's unbearable. I'm crying from the pain," she tried again. This tim
Julian had a piece of Flaming Hot Cheetos in his mouth. After sitting down, the three of them each opened a can of soda and started drinking. Julian asked William, "So, Grandpa, do you think your grandchildren are treating you well?" "Yes, both of you have been treating me very well, much better t
Kieran sat on the sofa and picked up the packet of Cheetos from off the floor. "Who started it?" Julian and William immediately pointed to Valerie without a moment of hesitation. Valerie looked at the fingers pointing at her. She couldn't believe they sold her out. She opened her mouth in disbelie
William was puzzled. "You just apologized? That's it? When did he become so easy to talk down?"Julian was also curious, "Didn't Uncle Kieran punish you?" "He was the one who apologized to me. Why would he punish me?" Valerie asked. "What! He apologized to you?" William exclaimed. What was going
After their brief exchange of words, Kieran gently set Valerie down and led her out of the room. William and Julian lingered outside the room, awaiting her fate. Luckily, she emerged unscathed from Kieran's room."How did it go?" Julian inquired.Valerie blinked and replied, "Everything's fine.""W
Julian pointed out the window excitedly, indicating where Valerie was about to go. "Valerie, have you ever seen a food stall vendor provide receipts? And don't forget, you snuck off to eat without telling Kieran! Would you even dare ask him for reimbursement?" he questioned.Valerie was speechless.
Julian glanced at Kieran beside him, pondering why Kieran could still manage to wear a smile, even though Valerie could be up to something behind his back."Hey, Julian? Can you hear me?" Valerie didn't wait for him to respond and asked, "Where are you now?""Yeah, I hear you. I haven't reached home
"Your dance teacher told me that Latin dance doesn't suit you, so I'm switching you to ballet," Kieran said threateningly. Without missing a beat, Julian caved. "Valerie made a secret arrangement with Grandpa today. They planned to go to the food street and have grilled food after school without te
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
