"Who are you?"Valerie looked at them and flexed her wrists. "Morgan's aunt. Kieran's wife. Valerie Wood."Once her identity was out, no one would dare cross her.Bennett had witnessed Valerie's physical capabilities. He quickly told Hilda's family to leave.Hilda still couldn't quite believe that M
Henry received a few calls from his sister afterward too. However, he knew what she was like and did not pick up.After this, Colin planned to go back to his house. He and Ivy would not stay no matter how much they begged.Before they left, Ivy took Morgan's hand. "Be good, Morgan. Keep your mother
Valerie hated when her husband said 'again.' They always did naughty things after he said that.She shook her head. "I'm a good wife. I don't do naughty things. I heard from my dad that you shook up the Mortons today, so I wanted to reward you tonight."Then, she climbed out of bed and shuffled towa
"Correction, please. You're the only one who grew up in adversity. We grew up with everything handed to us."Julian wished to be separated from his family.In the evening, Kieran got home.Valerie told on Julian. "Honey, Julian and I were playing chess, but he made me lose every time."Her father jo
Kieran looked at his wife, suspecting that he was being led into a trap. Should he open his mouth or not?"You're not setting up a trap, are you?"Valerie wondered if she'd let her mask slip.Kieran understood everything the moment he saw her expression. "Trying to lie to me? You'll seduce me and th
The head of Longwood Village watched the police officer telling stories. He said to Bennett, "Mr. Cortez, your police team tells stories really well. Even with all the officers here, only your team can gather the old folks so effectively."He exclaimed, "When the firefighters came, the event started
Bennett nodded and introduced the village head to Morgan, "This is Frank Warren, the head of Longwood Village."Morgan politely greeted, "Hello, Mr. Warren.""Mr. Cortez, your family's genes are impeccable," Mr. Warren remarked.Both Bennett and Morgan just smiled.They left the last of the work to
Morgan seemed confused. "Kieran, what's wrong?"Kieran asked, "Were you also involved in this afternoon's event?"Curious, Morgan stared at her two friends. "Did I miss something interesting?"Kieran was worried that those three would get into trouble if they went out. Hence, he instructed the house
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
