Bennett's gaze flickered. Recalling how dependent Morgan was on him in the past, he felt troubled as well. "It's worth the less frequent meetings if it means that she won't face any dangers in the future.""You're just like Mr. Kingsley. You're quite tough on the outside, but deep down, you care abo
Valerie had endured punishment by standing outside during the day, but she returned to the hospital once more, this time in the night.She didn't tell her parents about Morgan getting hospitalized.As Valerie leaned against the sick bed, the doctor pressed her legs, asking her, "What did you do toda
Kieran frowned. "Why would she suddenly get swelling in her legs?""According to her, she exercised a lot in the afternoon. She said she had stood for a long time. She's already in her second trimester, so her body is prone to swelling."She had slight swelling in the afternoon, but it wasn't obviou
Morgan let out a heavy sigh. "Man, if only I'd listened to Valerie's advice, things wouldn't be such a mess right now."Julian rubbed his temples and replied, "No point dwelling on it. Just focus on getting better in the hospital. I'll meet Uncle Kieran. Let me know what you want for lunch on WhatsA
Morgan patted Julian's shoulder and rolled her eyes. "Dude, I've read enough novels to know how this usually goes. The woman usually gets too arrogant and refuses to face the man, who starts to doubt her love."Then, their relationship turns into a cold war. Misunderstandings pile up, a third party
Julian pushed through his training until 8:00 p.m. He was drenched in sweat despite the gym blasting its air conditioning.He collapsed onto the floor, feeling as if every bone in his body had been broken. He felt exceptionally sore. …Even with Bennett's stubborn streak, he took an hour off from h
The next day, Victor learned about the tension brewing between Valerie and Kieran.He could tell something was up with Valerie's mood when he video-called her. After ending the call, he figured he should check with his parents on the whole situation."Valerie went online to check on Kieran's mistres
Valerie was about to cry again. As she sniffled, Kieran immediately looked into her teary eyes."Hold it in. No crying allowed," Kieran ordered.Valerie bit her lip, looking somewhat upset.Kieran kept on soothing her swollen feet with a gentle massage."Will it be uncomfortable to walk?" he asked.
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
