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
After thinking for quite a while, Kieran nodded. "You're right."Victor wasn't surprised. He would've found it strange if Kieran had argued otherwise."If it weren't for the pressure to marry, I wouldn't have met your sister. Many people think it's best to marry someone with a similar background, ac
"Just to be safe, why don't you sleep in the guest room tonight?" Valerie told Kieran.Kieran smiled. "Sure."Victor was leaving soon anyway, so it was just for one night. Valerie could see that Kieran was taking a small step back for the sake of peace.…The next day, the Woods took Victor to visi
Valerie happily hugged Kieran and asked, "Darling, did you hear what Victor called you?"Kieran couldn't contain his joy and replied, "Yes!"Anthony and Emma felt relieved when they noticed Victor's change in address to Kieran.After getting into the car, Kieran suggested, "Mom, Dad, you can visit V
Bennett thought about the duo he often encountered."It's complicated," he said.With Valerie expecting, Kieran could finally catch a break for a few months.Henry warned during their casual dinner conversation, "Be careful, Bennett. You never know when someone might betray you."Amanda grew worried
Victor was always on the phone with Valerie, acting like an overprotective parent. He kept reminding her to stay healthy, keep warm, go for check-ups, and exercise. Valerie had practically memorized it all. One day, she decided to try a different approach."Victor, the lecturer gave us some assign
"Cool, I'll be back in 30 minutes," Morgan remarked.Bennett and his parents strolled over to the yard, carrying on with their conversation."I scrubbed the car yesterday before picking up Morgan. Feels like I wasted my time, though, with all the dust we'll catch on the road to Etheria," Bennett gru
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
