Bennett and William's first meeting didn't go well, but luckily, things were improving. Bennett left Kingsley Estate, and Morgan hurried to the yard to bid him farewell.The yard felt deserted under the dim night sky, with a cold breeze and thick clouds overhead. Morgan tearfully expressed, "Bennett
Amanda gave Oliver a little pat and said, "Mr. William, Morgan is your daughter. Nothing can break the bond between you two."William didn't bother with those fancy words. Julian sat on the side and listened closely, almost like he was trying to pick up on their conversational skills."Their relatio
Julian first stumbled upon this gossip during high school. At that time, he was deeply immersed in computer games and spent his days in front of the computer.Amelia only saw Julian as a particularly rebellious high schooler addicted to games. He wouldn't even come downstairs to eat, and his hair co
Later that day, Julian found out from Valerie and Morgan why the Cortezes had visited."They didn't talk about the marriage," Valerie said."There's a certain way to go about discussing marriage. They wouldn't just show up without gifts and not let our family know in advance," Julian explained.Rene
Valerie entered the bedroom and saw Kieran leaning against the headboard while reading a book. Meanwhile, Oliver was peacefully asleep beside him.Kieran looked up briefly and went back to his book. Valerie held back her words. She walked around the bed to her usual side and gently kissed Oliver's c
Kieran was left without words. Meanwhile, the little one in his arms made a sound as if agreeing. They both glanced at Oliver, who seemed oblivious to what was going on but always had an opinion about everything.…In the next few days, Bennett made a few more visits to Kingsley Estate. This time, W
Hilda looked astonished. "Marriage?"Amanda repeated, "Yes. It's about time you make the arrangements for David."Hilda, who was struggling financially, had no time to spare on David's marriage prospects.Deirdre watched from afar as Amanda chatted smilingly with Hilda over the phone in the garden.
Since Morgan was in the clear, she went home to the Cortez Residence, ready to kick Deirdre out. Surprisingly, Amanda stopped her from doing so."Mom, why? Do you want Bennett to marry Deirdre instead? Is something wrong with you? Do you not want me anymore?" The last time Morgan was at home, she s
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
