"No, he's busy with his studies, and our time zones are reversed. He always calls my parents."Sometimes, she secretly answered her younger brother's calls without her husband knowing.Kieran didn't delve into it. He then gestured to her. "Go around the front yard a few times, then drive to the foun
Finally, Kieran fastened his seatbelt.Valerie circled the front yard three times and headed toward the fountain. She then turned the car in the opposite direction.Kieran shouted, "Stop the car."The car screeched to a halt, and his body jerked forward again. Luckily, the seatbelt saved him.He poi
The maids in the dining room greeted them. "Mr. Kieran, Ms. Valerie."Upon hearing that, Julian immediately fell silent. Seeing Valerie and Kieran entering the room, he sat up properly.Inversely, the couple entered with dirty hands."What happened to your hands? Why are they so dirty? Have you been
So, Valerie stood up and started picking food for her husband. She loaded her husband's plate with a variety of dishes. "Fish, broccoli, pasta, fried chicken, and whatever meat is this ... You can have everything. Get fat and grow strong!"Valerie blurted out.The others at the table were amused by
Finally, an hour later, William succeeded in adding Valerie and Julian on WhatsApp. He sent a friend invitation to the remaining three people but hadn't received a reply yet."Is that all?" William asked.Valerie nodded, "Yes, Dad. Later, you can add all of us to a group and create a family group ch
Valerie immediately wrapped herself in the blanket. She looked like a turtle retracting into its shell.Kieran was speechless. He wondered why she was overreacting. If they slept with each other, did that mean she wouldn't dare to face him for the rest of her life?Kieran thought his wife was too ea
Julian asked, "Aren't you going to freshen up a bit?""Do I look like I'm in the mood for that?" She quickly pulled Julian and headed outside.William was still exploring with the messaging app on the sofa in the living room.He scrolled through Valerie's stories from start to finish and checked his
Deep down, she wasn't too lazy to continue searching. In fact, she was afraid of what she might discover.When she knocked on the door earlier and heard someone inside, she was so angry that her whole body trembled. What if she went to the hotel and really encountered her husband there?Valerie gave
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
