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
"What's injured? Eat more nutritious food at home to aid your recovery."Valerie was left speechless.…Outside, Victor began calling his parents, "Valerie is married. Did you two know about this?"…Inside the ward, a nurse entered hesitantly with a consent form. "Mr. K-Kingsley, this is Mrs. Kings
Kieran thought about Valerie's pregnancy and her recent fight with Victor that nearly endangered their baby. Fear flooded him.Valerie explained, "I didn't know about the pregnancy back then. Victor insisted on taking me to the hospital, and I was reluctant at first. But he practically dragged me in
Morgan told William to keep watching the movie while she went upstairs to Kieran's room. To her surprise, she found Valerie's pajamas lying on the bed."Kieran, seriously? Are you and Val really moving to Belcourt Manor?" she asked."Valerie's at the hospital. Morgan, check those bottles on her vani
After 20 years, the Kingsley family was finally welcoming a new member. When William reached home, he prayed and told his wife about Valerie's pregnancy. Since Valerie didn't have a mother-in-law, Emma stepped in to care for her.Valerie spent a week in the hospital before coming home. The Kingsl
Half an hour later, Kieran arrived at the Wood Estate. He took a seat in the living room across from Victor. Valerie scooched in next to Kieran, sliding her hand into his.Victor wasn't pleased with Valerie's behavior. In his view, women should wait for men to make the first move. However, Valerie
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
