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
The Kingsleys were wrapping Oliver up in a bundle of layers. Kieran wrapped Valerie up like an onion.It wasn't even winter yet, but he was dressing her in thick, warm layers of wool.Valerie was stubborn. "I'm not going to wear this, honey. It doesn't suit my reputation as a rich lady. You even got
Valerie nodded while in Kieran's arms. She hugged him gratefully. He knew her best.Victor piped up, too. "Just a few words will be enough, Mom. So many people are looking. My sister is all grown up now."But then, Kieran said, "You should listen to your mom and your sister-in-law. My requests for y
Bennett asked, "What did you have for dinner?""Dad got me a chicken pie. He also got me some milk."They chatted idly for a while. Then, Henry received a call. He called out to Morgan and said, "Morgan, come walk with your mom.""I'm coming." Morgan said quickly to Bennett, "I'm going to keep Mom c
"What makes you so excited?" Bennett asked.Morgan put down the boxes so that everyone else could eat the food. She pushed Bennett into his office and said, "The results of Mom's cancer screening are out. She's in perfect condition. The doctor says that she can be discharged."Bennett smiled. "This
After lunch, Morgan complained of a headache. Bennett told her to go to sleep, but she refused.Finally, she told him what she really wanted. "Can you massage my temples for me, Bennett?"He was speechless.Before he could respond, she laid her head on his lap and smiled at him. "Thanks in advance."
Colin couldn't stand hearing Hilda's words anymore. "Are you sure you're better than Amanda at reading people's minds? If you're so smart, why are you still unaccomplished while she's the company's president?"Stop scheming around. Amanda is tired, and she has to rest. Please leave."Hilda waved her
Hilda refused to apologize no matter what. She seized her chance to hail a cab.Deirdre's father soon came out, too. "Bennett is a cop, Deirdre. What if he arrests us? Let's go. Quickly!"Deirdre looked at her cowardly father. He was always one to run from responsibility. Her mother had divorced him
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
