Bennett wasn't afraid at all. He smiled and said, "That's fine. Whoever tries to harm me is highly suspect. It saves me the trouble of having to investigate."Since Morgan wasn't living with the Cortezes, Bennett didn't often go home.He only stayed at home once when Morgan returned to pick up some
Bennett nodded slightly to his subordinates outside the one-way mirror.The officer immediately went to the room next door. He stared at the unyielding man."Mr. Axe, today, you meet your downfall."Shocked, Mr. Axe stared at the officer. "Where is Bennett? He's been the one interrogating me."The o
Valerie glanced at the cunning old man. "Stop bluffing. Why would you allow Kieran to suppress you if you're not afraid of him? Don't try to trick me into provoking him. We have a good relationship, and I'm not listening to your nonsense."Agitated, William stood up. Valerie jolted up from her seat
Julian replied, "Victor, I'll ask your sister about it. Don't worry. Focus on your studies. I'll contact you if I find anything."After saying that, he hung up the phone. He took a deep breath and looked at Valerie, who was also panting."Val, I always thought you were an extraordinary woman. Now, I
"What did you say?" Valerie jolted awake and sat up in bed. Her hair was messy. Kieran was already awake. Wordlessly, he ran his fingers through her locks to smooth them.Victor repeated, "Your brother, Victor Wood, is back! Can you hear me now, you deaf woman!"A young man over five feet tall wal
Despite his cutting remarks, Victor held a deep affection for his sister.During middle school, someone pursued Valerie. Upon learning about it, Victor erupted in anger and yelled at Valerie, "Tell him to get lost!" Victor was just in the elementary school at that time. Before he left to study abro
After all, Valerie did this to herself. While Kieran typically wore casual attire for business meetings with partners, he surprisingly opted for a more solemn outfit when meeting his younger brother-in-law. This subtle change exerted additional stress on Valerie.Just as anticipated, her husband le
"Later, I realized that it wasn't a total loss to marry you. Besides, my family could never compete with yours. So, I decided to keep this from Victor and agreed to your father's proposal for our marriage."During that period, Anthony was already in the process of arranging for Victor to return to s
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
