Valerie looked at her attentive husband. She could understand why he was so eager. He'd just found his long-lost sister, after all."Oh, I always call him my brother at home. Maybe he thought I wanted to have the water."Melissa looked at her friend, who was behaving oddly. Her eyes seemed to be cha
Until now, Bennett couldn't get that image of his sister out of his mind.His mother had cried until she passed out. His father could barely stand up straight.He leaned against the wall, looking at his sister, who had a white cloth covering her face.It was like she was asleep. She looked like she
Everything seemed to go back to how it was before.Only the three of them knew that her real child was gone.Bennett was afraid of losing his sister. The threat of losing her forever was a bitter pill to swallow.Bennett, however, would never in a million years think that the child they rescued was
Kieran couldn't help laughing. He went to the living room and pulled his squabbling wife away. "Go and sleep.""Hmph." Valerie handed the phone to William and made a face. "I'm not going to play with you anymore. I'm going to sleep with my husband. You can play by yourself.""Hmph. Not like I'd care
Valerie was in the middle of eating. She set her utensils down.She said plainly, "Of course, any wife would mind. But I understand you, so I didn't get angry even though I minded.""Why didn't you tell me that you minded?""If I told you that I was jealous and that you could only buy gifts for me a
Kieran quietly listened while he was pouring water. He was pleasantly surprised to hear Julian's useful suggestion.In fact, Kieran's status had made others hesitant to approach Valerie.Walking up to Valerie, Kieran handed her a water bottle. "Drink."Valerie was still upset, recalling Kieran's beh
Valerie grinned and said, "The marriage was a bit rushed during the summer break. He's picking me up tonight, and you'll meet him soon enough."She left a sense of anticipation in the air. If she spilled the beans herself, her ears wouldn't catch a break tonight.Despite being questioned repeatedly,
Another classmate followed after Melissa.While everyone was having fun, there was a splash. Someone fell into the water."Oh, no! Melissa fell into the water!" someone suddenly shouted.Valerie quickly turned her head to look at the swimming pool.Still fully clothed, Melissa was flailing her limbs
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
