"Pass me that book," Kieran said.Valerie grabbed a random book and handed it over."Here you go."Without warning, Kieran put his arm around Valerie's waist, lifting her with one hand. She ended up sprawled across his lap, face down, butt up—ready for a good smack!Valerie propped her arms on the co
After saying that, Kieran stood up and dragged Valerie back to the office by her arm.Valerie didn't really want to go, but refusing meant Kieran would call her out publicly.So, she thought letting him scold her in private was better. Begging for mercy seemed more manageable that way.At that momen
Those updates were shared by Kieran's men. They had been tailing Melissa to uncover her true identity. They happened to witness the whole incident and were about to step in to protect Valerie. Yet, they realized that getting involved would only complicate things for her.Because Valerie, who appear

Valerie felt something was off after hearing Kieran's words.She stepped between Bennett and Kieran, pulling their hands apart. "Kieran and I will head home for now, Bennett. We'll catch up with you soon," Valerie said.With a firm grip on Kieran's hand, Valerie led him to the car. It was a first fo
Kieran seized Valerie's hand, urging her to check his injured spot. "Feel it for yourself. Check if it's all good!""I won't, Kieran! Quit being so roguish," Valerie protested.She tried to pull her hand away. Even the slightest touch on his zipper was enough to make her blush.After withdrawing her
Valerie tended to her skin at the dressing table.When her gaze met Kieran's in the mirror, she said, "Darling, I know you might be pretty peeved at me. But seriously, that intense gaze of yours is too much. It feels like you're sizing me up for a feast, even in the reflection.""Well, I'm craving m
The bustling activity in the morning suddenly came to a halt. Valerie, looking like an agitated cat, burst out."Does it hurt?" Kieran asked."What do you think?" Valerie shot back angrily.Last night, Kieran noticed traces of blood on the bedsheet after their activities. He glanced at Valerie ben
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
