The noises in the backyard could be heard even from inside the house.William had been in low spirits because he had been thinking about his daughter. When he heard the noises from the backyard, he went to the window to see two people running and chasing each other.The butler stood next to him and
Julian gestured to Valerie, and she made a turn."Where is your aunt? She didn't pick up when I called her.""Oh, your wife is preparing a surprise for you."Valerie nodded with satisfaction. Julian was a dependable friend.Kieran smiled when he heard Julian's words. He began looking forward to the
Valerie remembered Julian's exact words. "Julian said he was afraid that you'd beat him to death if anything happened to me, so he made me get out of the car.""Good. He will be spared."Valerie was a transmitter. She told Julian everything that Kieran had said.At that moment, Julian felt like his
Jonathan was stunned. They'd been caught."Bennett, your sister and I like each other."The moment he said that, Bennett kicked him to the middle of the practice arena.Jonathan saw the place where he'd been beaten up so badly that he couldn't even stand. His bones hurt the moment his eyes lay on it
"No. I'm going to drive."William switched the channel and pointed at the television. "Look, it's a thriller. It's gory and violent; perfect for you.""No.""I'll watch a rom-com with you! Don't girls prefer movies with sappy stories like that?""I'm not interested.""What about this adventure movie
Time spent busy always flew by quicker. Valerie had been diligently learning to drive at home these days.Every time Julian was too tired, Valerie kicked him to go to bed. "Aren't you going to sleep?" Julian asked. Valerie shook her head, "I'll go in a bit." Julian really believed her, to the poi
In the past, Kieran drowned his sorrows in alcohol. Now, he drank tea to ease his troubles."Louis, Morgan probably wouldn't have been lost if I had held on tighter back then. Mom wouldn't have died, and my family wouldn't have fallen apart."Kieran blamed himself for 15 years. He lost Morgan for Ju
The man who tried to strike up a conversation stood there in surprise. He stared at the woman who claimed to be married.Upon learning the man's intentions, Valerie ignored him. She found a quieter place to continue waiting for her husband.Time was going painfully slowly. But since she was waiting
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
