"You were with me in bed when Jacob called. I had no idea what happened to Renee. When I saw her, I found her injured while she was in her pajamas. So, I brought her to a hotel so she could change, but you called me when I was checking in. I was with the hotel employees at that time."The second tim
Valerie brought Morgan up to speed. "Renee has this roommate, whose boyfriend wanted a breakup. The roommate played the victim and blamed Renee for ruining her relationship when Renee did not even know her boyfriend in the first place."After the breakup last night, the roommate grabbed Renee's phon
Renee sat between Morgan and Valerie. Morgan glanced at Renee and couldn't help but notice her smooth, youthful skin."You have lovely skin," Morgan complimented.She got the wrong idea about Renee's connection with Kieran and almost accused her. Renee looked so innocent and not very world-wise.Ren
Julian, the underdog in the Kingsley family, wrinkled his nose and asked, "What's that?"Julian looked confused.Valerie burst into laughter and revealed her gift, saying, "Morgan's a temporary solution. Mine tackles the problem head-on.""What did you get for me?" Julian asked."A kickboxing manual
"No way, Morgan's probably clueless right now. Maybe she's just a bit confused, or she and Bennett are figuring out if they like each other," Valerie declared."Does Bennett like Morgan? I mean, he should notice she's into him, so why act like everything's normal?" Julian asked."Maybe they're not r
Morgan approached Valerie. She covered her mouth with a hand and whispered, "Did you come up with this?"Still focused on sipping her hot milk, Valerie replied quietly, "What do you think? Don't they make a good match?"Morgan glanced at Julian and then at the innocent Renee before saying, "I think
Renee decided to break the ice again. "Julian, are you the heartthrob of Zenith University?""Nope," Julian replied.Renee took out her phone and showed Julian his picture. "Well, you're at the top, according to this.""Checking rankings in your free time?" Julian teased, not realizing that Renee wa
Kieran glanced at Julian and nagged, "You're a man now. Sit upright and stop slouching around."Julian, who had just laid on the couch, sat up and changed into home slippers. "Dad, Uncle Kieran, I'm going back to my room to sleep."Martin chuckled at his son and remarked, "You little brat. Time flie
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
