Bennett pointed at the ramen and the hot water on the table. "You all handle this yourselves."He pulled Morgan to his office and put the heater on high heat. Then, he took her scarf and her hat away and put her face in his hands. "Let me look you over. Did they hurt you over there?"Morgan pursed h
Bennett sent his sister to the car and said to William, "Happy New Year, Mr. Kingsley."William was just about to suspect Bennett of having ulterior motives toward his daughter. He was saying to the butler, "Look, Bennett is holding my daughter's hand. I'd love to just chop it off.""That's Morgan's
"Did Kieran tell you that?"Kieran looked at his wife. He hadn't spoken about it before. How did she know?Valerie replied simply, "Does he have to tell me? Anyone who understands him would know this."This was spoken as if she were the only person who understood him.However, that seemed to be the
Kieran smiled coldly. "You're really grown up. Now you're calling other people your buddy?"Valerie looked at the way she'd saved Robert's name. She had saved him as "Robert (Buddy)"."His name is Robert.""He's a man."Valerie stopped comforting Morgan. She turned and held her husband's hand. "We'r
Kieran lay next to her and said gently, "It's time to get up, lazy bones. It's time to get your New Year's gift." Then, he kissed her on the ear.He didn't know why he loved every inch of her so much.The moment she heard that there was a gift, she woke up at once and looked at him with widened eyes
Morgan stayed in the Kingsley's house for three days after New Year's.Bennett came to pick her up in the afternoon.He went home to change his clothes and shave before showing up at the Kingsley's.The Kingsleys were preparing gifts for Morgan to take home to the Cortezes."Morgan," Bennett called
However, before two years had even passed, Hilda married again. Her husband, Mr. Smith, was also a divorcee. He had a daughter. He was considered to be in a stable situation.After her marriage, she knew that Henry and Amanda were the reason why she could stand tall in the family. She was more civil
Amanda sat angrily on the bed. She was so ruffled that she had to pop some pills to calm herself down. "This is your home. It will always be your home. If anyone dares to scold you, kick them out.""I know, Mom. Don't be mad."Morgan looked at the pills that her mother was taking and asked curiously
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
