Valerie stopped in her tracks and looked at her friend."As a kid? You mean, you think he had something to do with your kidnapping years ago?"Valerie had a sound mind. Paired with her years of friendship with Morgan, she read Morgan's mind at once. "You're worried that he's the kidnapper."Their fr
Kieran handed the health supplements over to a maid who was just passing by. "Give this to Valerie. If she asks where I am, tell her to come to the study."The maid knew her place. She never questioned her master's orders.Soon after, the two girls walked into the living room arm in arm. Valerie was
"Kieran's not busy … He's not busy at all—" Valerie was the one who ignited Kieran's fire. There was no way she could leave now.Morgan didn't hear Kieran clearly. Puzzled, she stood by the door. "Why are you busy all of a sudden? Weren't you waiting for me just now?"Valerie was still in the study
William felt guilty after being exposed by Kieran. "I, uh … I just received a call from Adam, so I'll be taking leave now. Take your time with Valerie."He took a few steps forward when he reminded Kieran again, "Be good to her. Also, don't forget about what Morgan told you yesterday."Finally, all
It was a scorching afternoon. Everyone took shelter in the house, refusing to see the sun.Valerie enjoyed the air conditioner indoors. As she basked in the sunlight coming from the window, she had an eye mask as she lay in the chair. The house servants who passed by couldn't help but slow their fo
Of course, he didn't have the guts to say that out loud. He wanted his tailbone to stay intact.He might not be able to boss Kieran around, but he could still reign over his son.The devious Kieran immediately saw through Harry's little scheme. He narrowed his eyes and asked a question in reply, "Do
Kieran's phone rang, and he peeked at the caller ID before slipping away from Valerie to pick it up.Valerie couldn't quite grasp why he seemed to be dodging her.After wrapping up the call, Kieran headed to the study with William in tow."What's going on?" Valerie was left alone in the living room
"Kieran?" Morgan blinked in surprise.Kieran gave a little nod. Glancing at the untouched dinner spread out on the table, he asked, "Why aren't you eating?""I'm not really in the mood to dine alone." Morgan sighed.Her gaze dropped, and Kieran noticed a smudge of cream on her cheek. He pulled out a
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
