She still held the title of principal. Although she didn't really care, she couldn't let her classmates behave so wildly.After she said that, she took her bag and left.Her best friend and nephew followed after her. Morgan gave her the thumbs-up sign silently.Back in the car, Morgan said, "I didn'
"So you're awake?""What?"Kieran saw the phone she was holding tightly in her hands and narrowed his eyes. "And you've looked at your phone?""Oh." Valerie said crossly, "What's up?"Morgan and Julian felt like there must have been a misunderstanding between the two of them.Valerie was not head ov
Kieran sat by the bed. She kicked him again.In one swift motion, he grabbed her leg and dragged her toward him.Valerie's body streaked across the bed. Her hair was ruffled.She was lying down perfectly before but once she was dragged over, she sat up on the bed and sat next to him. She wailed, "Yo
The nurse smiled and said softly, "I've heard things about her before. We're not friends. We have never spoken."After that, Kieran went to investigate her. Valerie chatted with Ms. Wembley to pass the time.She wasn't angry about that woman anymore. She was just talking about random things with Ms.
Before Kieran left with Valerie, he asked Julian to meet him in his study. He instructed Julian, "I've sent you Thomas' number. He'll send you a list of all the small and medium-sized companies under Morton Corporation. Like what you did with The Dark Bar, find the owners behind them."Julian asked
Far away, Valerie woke up but found no trace of her husband in the room. She had gotten the vaccine, so she hurriedly packed her luggage before rushing home.Kieran had called home the day before and discovered that Julian was in trouble. All flights last night were sold out. They could only leave t
Mr. Morton took his sweet time coming downstairs. He wanted to keep Kieran and Valerie waiting.They waited in the living room for about 20 minutes before Mr. Morton slowly descended the stairs.Smiling, he approached the two. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Kingsley. I was working in my study. Sorry to keep you
After the three-minute phone call, Mr. Morton's expression turned dark. When he finally hung up, his eyes were bulging like goldfish. He looked terrifying."Mr. Kingsley ..."As usual, Kieran was calm. "It seems you got a call from the company."Mr. Morton felt weak as Kieran had found something on
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
