"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
"There are no seats in the classroom. I made her wait for me in the cafe." Julian finally opened his textbook and focused on the lecture.Morgan grabbed her phone and sat in a corner. It was time to gossip about the potential romance between Julian and Renee with her bestie.After the class, Julian
Renee, with her unusual thought process, asked, "Julian, are you praising my looks?"Julian clarified, "I meant you only have looks, nothing substantial."She argued, "That means you're praising my looks."He slid on his sunglasses and retracted the car roof. Driving slowly, he glanced at Renee and
Renee muttered under her breath, "You're doing it now."Feeling wronged, Julian started stammering, "I-You-You're bad at reading people!"How could Renee regard the most violent Valerie as the kindest? She had treated Kieran, the most hot-tempered Kingsley, as a wise and friendly uncle. She was even
After buying lunch, Julian made three trips to bring the food to the table. When they were done eating, they left the cafeteria together. Renee happened to be free in the earlier half of the afternoon, but the weather was too hot at that time. So, Julian handed her the car keys and told her, "If yo
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
