When Valerie heard this, she said, "I've been wanting to go stay at my parents' place lately."Kieran thought about it for some time before agreeing, "I'll be staying with Valerie at her family's place for a while, Amelia."Amelia asked, "What's wrong with Val? Is she sick? Is she going back there b
Bennett saw how jealous his sister was and took a deep breath.He had been so busy these past few days. Who would dare come and try to play matchmaker with him?A subordinate soon came knocking on the door.Bennett suddenly recalled the official matters he nearly forgot about when he saw his subordi
The bed in Valerie's boudoir was smaller than the one in Kingsley Estate. The 5-foot bed could fit two people just right, but Valerie was a pregnant woman with a bulging belly.When Valerie returned to the room that night, she looked at the slightly crowded bed and said, "Darling, go sleep in the gu
On the way back to the police station, Bennett gave his junior a call. "Have all the documents been sorted out?"Jonathan looked at the documents on the table and answered, "Sir, please put a notice at the entrance of our police station that says your sister is not allowed to enter.""If posting a n
"Then, let's choose that one."Valerie pointed to a room between the ones her parents had indicated and explained, "It has the same orientation as the master bedroom, is well-lit, and is not too far from the master bedroom. The room is spacious and suitable for children. Plus, it's convenient for fu
Valerie stood at the entrance and scratched her head adorably.Kieran couldn't get enough of her. With a gentle smile, he asked, "What's wrong?""I want to have lunch at Arthur's Grill."With that, Valerie had a sumptuous lunch later that noon. Perks of having a husband who spoiled her: she got what
Morgan couldn't ignore the past. Her mother was still waiting for her to return and discover the truth. She clenched her cutlery tighter.Later that afternoon, she returned to the Kingsley residence instead. She slipped inside the room where her mother's photo was placed.When Julian returned home,
Kieran picked up on it as well. He asked her, "Val, are you tired because you oversaw the remodeling a while back?"Valerie pouted and chided him, "I'm not that fragile."With that, she got up. "I'm heading out. Get the results for me."Morgan's situation occupied her mind as Valerie left the doctor
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
