"Among bushes," Scott responded."What bushes? I want the exact location," Kieran continued to press.Threatened by Kieran's strong presence, Scott looked at the Kingsleys nervously. He couldn't comprehend why they would want to bring this matter up again today.William was also expecting a reasonab
"I'll go back on my own."After lectures ended in the afternoon, the Kingsleys didn't intervene with where Melissa wanted to go next."Melissa, Julian and I are going home now. See you later," Valerie said.Melissa waved them goodbye, then took a cab to where Bennett was working. "Bennett."Bennett
Bennett gave a confirming sound and said, "Don't visit them for the time being, okay? They were quite shaken up by it."Melissa lowered her head and asked, "They don't like me now?"Bennett consoled, "Nothing like that. You've always been Melissa to them, so they can't accept that you're not actuall
Melissa did as Bennett demonstrated, but she still couldn't wrap it up nicely.When they finished making their pierogi, it was finally time to present their work. Bennett's pierogi were perfect with the characteristic half-moon shapes, while Melissa's were being crowned as the "meat-vegetable balls
Amelia looked at William and asked, "Dad, did you stay up late last night?"With a guilty conscience, he mumbled, "You guys have been nagging all day. It annoys the hell out of me. I'm going to bed now."If he couldn't argue back, William figured he could at least run away.As he was about to climb
William uttered nothing in response. The festive atmosphere at Kingsley Estate lasted only for a while before he asked to have the guests dismissed.Then, William made a call to Morgan. "Hi, Dad."Standing next to a window, he tried to sound happy. "Morgan, have you eaten?""I'm going to, in a bit.
William was more than pleased with what Valerie said.The Cortezes were promptly ushered in when they arrived.Morgan took it upon herself to introduce the Cortezes and Kingsleys to each other.Colin and Ivy looked intently at William. Before long, Colin began speaking, "Are you sure my granddaught
William rose and raised his glass. Feeling overwhelmed, he expressed, "The Cortezes and the Kingsleys finally gather here today. Ever since learning that our Morgan is still alive, I have been hoping we could all come together for a meal."My family and I would like to, first, express our gratitude
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
