"Come on, get up. We're making our way to Arthur's Grill soon," Valerie urged.Morgan rubbed her eyes. She swiftly packed her books before leaving.Julian's car was still parked outside the library. Yet, all five of them squeezed into Kieran's car.Kieran handed his phone over to Valerie and instruc
"Why on earth are you going around saying Morgan's your girlfriend? That's just crazy," Henry remarked."You're being absurd, Bennett," Amanda chimed in.Bennett sat up from the hotel bed and rubbed the bridge of his nose."Look, they don't know Morgan is my sister. Some old colleagues have been try
Morgan was in the room next door. She hastily sat up in her bed at the commotion and sent a voice message to Bennett."Bennett, Julian's in trouble again. I'll find out what's happening."She entered Julian's room and witnessed Valerie giving him a hard time."Val, what's happening?" Morgan asked."
The exam got underway, and Valerie began reading the first question out loud."The commonly mentioned global trade volume ..."She glanced at the choices and turned to Kieran. "Darling, what do you think about going with A?"Kieran nodded. Valerie then shared with Morgan and Julian, "First one's A—t
To Morgan, Bennett wasn't just a brother. He was the go-to for homework help, the guy who bought her toys, and the one who dragged her to the amusement park.The more Amanda thought about it, the more it bothered her."Morgan, with no exams this Sunday, how about tagging along with Dad and me for a
"But nothing's set in stone yet. I might tag along for your prenatal check-up before I take off. I'm just giving you a heads-up. The date isn't confirmed yet," Kieran remarked.Valerie nodded. She wrapped her arms around Kieran's neck and kissed him. "Darling, don't stress about me. I'll be fine at
Kieran looked at his little wife and shook his head fondly. As long as she was happy, she could say whatever she wanted.But then, William glared at his son in upset. "Why did you make it sugar-free? I want it with a regular amount of sugar. With no sugar, this drink is soulless."William was almost
She handed him the phone and said, "I'll be your youngest and prettiest online friend."Based on his contacts, Morgan felt that her brother was at least in his forties.But when she saw that perfectly handsome face, for some reason, she mumbled, "What a dilemma.""What?"Morgan shook her head. "It'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
