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
Kieran asked, "Where's your aunt?"Julian pointed to a room. "Melissa fell into the water, and she's taking care of Melissa in there."Kieran nodded. He turned and walked toward the room where his wife was. He knocked on the door. "Val, I'm here."What the heck?What did he say?Valerie was Julian's
Melissa trembled. "And what happened?""I guess he's reminded of his lost sister whenever he sees you. So, he treats you like how he would treat his sister."The girls fell silent in the room.Wanting to get rid of the image of the boy covered in blood in her memories, Melissa shook her head. She di
Kieran put the cup down and got up to go to their bedroom. When he returned, he brought a hot chocolate sachet he had purchased for his wife. He made his wife a cup of hot chocolate instead.He stirred the powder and waited for it to dissolve.Once it was done, he returned to the dining table.It sh
"Melissa, don't worry. Your family's company will be fine. I believe in your mom. Moreover, Valerie wouldn't leave you guys to die."Melissa stared at her overly confident friend. She wondered how he could be so dumb.Outside, Kieran eventually couldn't resist his wife. He ended up allowing her to s
Melissa wiped her tears away and said in a nasal tone, "The weather has been changing recently, and my rhinitis is acting up. I also have trachoma due to the strong wind. I'm sorry."Staring at Amelia, she couldn't stop tearing up."Val, I came to hang out with you."She stood up, approached Valerie
The siblings stayed outside for two hours before Bennett drove back home.As soon as they arrived, they heard Amanda going crazy. She wanted to visit the Kingsley Estate to find Melissa. "No, the Kingsleys can't take my daughter away! Honey, quit your job. Let's leave."Henry held his wife and cradl
Valerie didn't refute.She was as worried as the Cortezes and the Kingsleys now. Melissa was her best friend.While reassuring the others, she was trying to comfort herself. In fact, she was more worried and nervous than anyone else.Valerie rushed to Julian's room and pulled her nephew, who was pla
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
