The doctor asked, "Why is that so?"Valerie replied, "My husband just said he'll give me lots and lots of money. The pain just went away."Valerie's eyes were twinkling again. It seemed like she really felt better.The people in the room were speechless.Later, the doctor said, "You're about to give
Valerie tightly clutched Kieran's clothes in the dead of the night, refusing to let him leave her side. She lay on the hospital gurney, her knuckles turning white with fear. "Darling, I'm scared. I'm too scared to give birth. I'm afraid."Kieran held her hand tightly and ran alongside the doctors. "
Renee knew he was worried. She reached out and held Julian's hand, her eyes fixed on him without blinking. "Julian, Ms. Valerie will be fine."Renee's gentle words flowed into Julian's anxious heart like a gentle stream, soothing his agitation.The moon hung in the sky. The world was silent.Outside
Kieran's son was born at midnight on a sunny early winter day in October. Everyone had been anticipating this moment for a long time.Inside the delivery room, the nurse handed the baby to Kieran. "Daddy, do you know how to hold a baby?"Kieran nodded. 20 years ago, he had held Morgan and Jules. Alt
Glancing at the baby she had just delivered, Valerie weakly declared, "My ultimate life goal has been achieved!"Morgan smiled and said, "Well done. You have everything at 21. I don't even have a partner yet."Valerie laughed.The nurse reminded them, "The mother should return to the ward."The grou
The second day after Valerie gave birth, a bunch of strangers showed up in the ward.These were all Kieran's distant relatives and William's old friends. They were rich, tall, and handsome bachelors.They crowded around Oliver when they arrived. It was obvious that they were Kieran's close friends.
Although some people left the hospital, quite a few remained.Amanda told her son in her ward, "Go and visit Valerie's son but don't go empty-handed. Get a gift for the child."Bennett was conscious of formalities like these. He'd gotten the gift in the morning but hadn't gone to see them since too
Valerie needed to rest since she had just given birth. The next day, the Kingsleys' maid warded off every other visitor that came.Kieran also announced that no one was allowed to disrupt his wife from resting. After that, no one dared to visit anymore.Bodyguards surrounded Valerie's ward. Even whe
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
