Following Lucas' question, Shantelle turned to Evan for help, but the man said to their son, "That's entirely up to your mommy." Shantelle's mouth fell open as she glared at Evan. 'Great, so much for the help.' "Please, Mommy. Please. I want a brother and then a sister and then a brother again!" L
To cook and impress, he told Lucas about his plan. His son was excited to help him, and they agreed to be in the kitchen at six in the morning. That day, Evan left the villa at five, bringing bags of ingredients for breakfast. Aside from the pancake, Evan had baked an egg casserole. Now, he simpl
"So, where are we going? How are you going to wow me?" Shantelle asked as she got comfortable on a leather seat."How much did you pay for this flight? This is really posh." Right after breakfast, Evan and Shantelle left for the airport. Miguel and Andy came with them as part of their security. Ther
Shantelle only chuckled. She held the flower with care and replied, "Yes, soon we will have a plantation of sunflowers. Next time you give me tulips, include the bulbs so we can plant them. Mother is now considering getting into the flower business, thanks to you." "Tulips plus bulbs - got it," Eva
No one else mattered, because only Evan and Shantelle were present at the restaurant within the Eiffel Tower. The couple relished in delectable dishes, making Shantelle moan with each bite. "Mmmm… it just melts in your mouth," Shantelle said. As she relished the flavor of her food, she remarked, "
"Shanty, do you know why they say a kiss on top of a Ferris Wheel holds a significant meaning?" Evan sought, his eyes showing complete adoration for Shantelle, his frame moving closer. "No," Shantelle softly replied. Seeing how Evan was now looking steadily at her lips, she asked, "Why don't you t
Shantelle's eyes fluttered. Her heart was in a panic, reading those words. 'Marriage?' After returning to her senses, she saw Evan holding up an engagement ring for her. It was a beautiful sapphire ring. During their last marriage, she never had an engagement ring from Evan. That was because Erick
There was a moment of silence, with Evan merely taking deep breaths. Eventually, he answered, "I - I can live with that. At least I can formally call you mine. I will insist on calling you my wife, though." Shantelle thought about it and then responded, "Fine by me." "I'll definitely claim it," E
"Fuck. Lucas is back?" Lewis indignantly turned to Lily and asked, "Do you know about this?" "Is Lucas really back, Lily?" Lily's mother also asked in shock. All her brothers, except for Liam, asked the same thing. Lily helplessly looked at Liam, and seeing her brother wasn't going to spill eithe
"The aortic stent graft collapse," Doctor Steven reported to the Wright family. "That caused him to faint. So, earlier, we inserted another stent, and he is under observation." "I feel that there is a but coming," Lily's oldest brother, Liam, predicted. Behind him, all of Lily's brothers were givin
"Mommy, are you okay? You have been staring into spaces lately," Aiden asked. Lily was helping her son with his homework. While Aiden wrote his answers in the book, Lily was in a daze. "Sorry, Buddy. Was thinking of something," Lily said. "Are you done?" "Almost. I'm so glad your mission got canc
Liam had introduced Jake to Lily as one of their new contractors. Often, Jake traveled to other cities to make proposals, hoping to get another project for the company. That was why he was in Lockwood. "Lily, my job here will be extended for another week," Jake revealed. "But I'll see you after th
"You know what, Lucas? You are insane!" Lily yelled, pulling her arm away from him. She did it so forcefully that the necklace around Lucas' neck bounced to reveal that golden tag with her name carved on it. Instantly, Lily stilled. Her heart skipped a beat while her eyes were glued to the pendant
"He is an important person who needs protection. It will be your primary responsibility to oversee his security," the major loudly said to Lily while they were on a military helicopter, flying ten thousand feet above the ground. This was one of those odd assignments. When Lily arrived at the mil
"Somebody has guilt written all over their face," Lily softly commented, seeing her oldest brother, Liam Wright, in the dining area of their home early that morning. If anyone knew about the arrival of one Lucas Thompson, her brother would be it. After all, Liam previously managed the joint business
“Lily? My favorite daughter in the world is back!” Lily’s mother, Scarlett, exclaimed. Lily could not help but roll her eyes at her mother’s remark. She responded, “Mom, you can’t have a favorite daughter. I am your only daughter!” Scarlett laughed. Lily’s father, Kaleb, who was sipping tea in th
Of course, what did she expect? He left her without saying anything. So now, he was practically denying their past relationship by pretending not to know her! The truth was, it stung a little. When he disappeared, Lily cried an ocean for him, yet this was how he treated her now? Then again, Lily s
