It was the way Evan held her, the way his lips came in contact with her neck, that made the butterflies in her stomach go wild. More than just that ticklish feeling, she sensed thrilling electricity running down her spine, and she moaned, "Mmmm." "Mmmm," he teased. A smirk formed on his face as he
"What did you and Keith talk about?" Karise asked on the phone. While Shantelle was choosing clothes to wear, she received a call from her friend, and this was the first thing Karise asked when she picked up the call. "What did we talk about? Why?" Shantelle asked back. "It's just that he never
So when Evan tried the chicken himself, he fell silent and decided to cook bacon and eggs. In the end, they had a regular breakfast meal. So much for his specialty chicken. Lucas, who was next to Evan, laughed with his mother. He said, "Daddy is so silly." "I am a Billionaire CEO. They say, I am t
"Jason Turner has agreed to meet for a settlement," Scarlett, Evan's attorney, reported. "He said he will be ready on Monday." "Will that be okay with you and your husband?" Evan asked on the phone. "Yes, it's fine. We can wait," Scarlett replied. "The kids are still on school break. We were taki
"Ten million dollars, and that's a deal," Evan curtly said in front of Jason Turner. "But-," Jason groaned, thinking about his losses. His attorneys also tried to reason with Evan and Scarlett. However, Scarlett, Evan's attorney, opposed it, saying, "Then, we will go to court. Trust me when I sa
Lucas received his blood transfusion in the evening, and in the morning, the couple finally got to speak with their son's doctor. Doctor Patel was very jolly when he entered the room. He greeted Lucas with a smile and said, "Good boy, Lucas. Your blood cells have improved. Did you eat a lot of bea
"Mrs. Shaw! I'm home!" Lucas happily announced as he entered the villa. "I'm so happy to see you, Lucas!" Mrs. Shaw replied. "Mommy and Daddy said we will live together now. Isn't it great?" Lucas cheerfully said. While Lucas and Mrs. Shaw chatted, Evan whispered to Shantelle, "He looks better."
"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
