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
With over a year since their last meeting, Victor had become taller, and Valerie found herself tilting her head upward to meet his gaze upon their reunion.As the siblings met again, there was a noticeable absence of the usual excited embrace and emotional tears. Rather than sharing a warm moment, V
Curiosity lingered, but no one dared to inquire further."Val, when will you come clean? I'm running out of patience," Kieran urged, his voice husky as he pressed down on Valerie beneath him.Valerie's face flushed, her breath uneven. In each intimate moment with her husband, her mind was unable to
Valerie had gathered the courage to come clean, only to be met with disbelief.She made another attempt. "We had a flash marriage."Victor retorted, "Believe it or not, I'll rip out your tongue in a flash.""I have the marriage certificate!" Valerie persisted."Where did you manage to get that certi
There was no one else at home."Val, let's go to the hospital!"He began to panic slightly, grabbing Valerie's arm and lifting her into the car.As a law-abiding citizen, Valerie remarked, "You haven't renewed your driving license. You can't drive.""Are you really in pain? What matters now is that
Valerie took Victor's cell phone and swiftly punched in a phone number. Victor's eyelids twitched in disbelief. His sister couldn't be bothered to remember his number, yet she had somehow committed that man's number to memory?Valerie pressed the phone to her ear, and after three rings, Kieran's vo
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
