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
Melissa was stunned.Valerie didn't force her friend. She was about to take back her phone, but Melissa withdrew her hand.For some reason, she didn't want to return the phone to Valerie.Instead, she asked Valerie, "When did you find out I'm Morgan?""I saw the scars on your arm when we were in the
He had had enough of dealing with his uncle and violent aunt-in-law.Yet, God thought it wasn't interesting enough and decided to bless him with another aunt. It was so unfair.He said, "Aunt Morgan, can I just move out?"Julian thought even the dog in the Kingsley Estate had a higher status than hi
Kingsley Estate was glowing tonight. Warm and bright lights reflected the emotions of the family inside. They were blissfully happy for Morgan's return.Amelia intended to keep Morgan company on her first night back with the Kingsleys."I'm sure there's much for Morgan to get used to on her first da
"I'm the elder to both of you now, in terms of seniority in the family," Valerie announced proudly, for it was an unexpected turn of events that she found beneficial.Valerie was Melissa's sister-in-law, and Julian was her nephew. The three of them were more than best friends now. A sudden realizat
After learning that Julian had always been bullied at home, Melissa asked, "Is Julian not the sole heir of the Kingsleys, the only grandson?""He is. He was quite a little tyrant himself before I became a member of the Kingsleys. Things changed after my marriage to Kieran, though. "Maybe I jinxed h
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
