Sheryl was upset at that. "How's Tommy or Baby lacking?"

"No—they're just too young to be talking about marriage," Zachary quickly explained.

He seemed to remember Irene mentioning that Isaac wanted a daughter, but Isaac probably had no hopes for that in this life.

It was time for Zachary to show off his daughter when Isaac came back.

Sheryl could read that smugness from his face. "Sons are a blessing for parents too."

"Of course." Zachary grinned. "He's just a little too blessed."

Sheryl could not say anything to that.

Irene stayed with Isaac at the hospital ward.

It was huge enough for them, and there were no unconcerned people around.

The day before they returned to Franconia, she received a call from Erin, who was pleased to hear that Isaac made a full recovery after asking about it.

Then, Erin asked when they could return.

Irene said, "We've booked a flight for tomorrow…"

Erin became silent for a long while at that and appeared hesitant to speak.

    Zachary said, "That's right. You'd envy me for having a daughter while you don't."Isaac chuckled. "For now. Who knows what happens when she gets older? On the other hand, my sons would still be mine."Zachary was speechless.What was that supposed to mean? That his daughter would not be his once she became an adult?Hilarious! His Jean would always be his! How would she not be his daughter once she got older?And yet, something suddenly occurred to him and he understood what Isaac meant and was left frowning!"Isaac!" he cried, chasing after him. "Y-You'd better watch your sons! Tell them to stay away from my daughter!"Irene gave Baby a pointed look and chuckled. "That's why you shouldn't get too smug or you'd lose your daughter."Zachary was speechless. The thought that the daughter, with whom he would raise carefully, would grow up to be someone else's girlfriend or wife left him utterly frustrated.Isaac's words were especially infuriating.What was that supposed to me

    Isaac could read Zachary's mind right away, but Baby was not going to be a bodyguard. How could Zachary even think of sending Baby to self-defense classes?! Dream on!Irene came over to tease Zachary. "Your daughter's still in diapers. You're getting ahead of yourself." Zachary sighed. "It's inevitable when you have a daughter, and I'd like it to be your sons instead of anyone else. At least you and Isaac won't harass Jean and would actually help care for her. And when you're Jean's mother-in-law, you should treat her nicer since she's Lulu's daughter too!" Irene was left speechless.She was still very young—becoming a mother-in-law would only happen so far in the future, and it was way too early to think about right now."I know," she said nonetheless. "Now let Isaac's rest. His eyes have just recovered.""Are you saying that I'm pestering him?" Zachary asked. Irene was speechless. Even if Zachary did not did not mean it, how could he chase Isaac around to talk about the

    Zachary was a little emotional.He never expected that James would find his happiness after Isaac and Irene—especially when James constantly worked so hard.And yet, James beat him in getting married.Sighing again, he said, "Well, I guess I should send him something memorable.""At least you have a conscience," Irene told him.Zachary was left speechless—when did he become that horrible?"Am I that evil in your eyes?" he asked."You're not," Irene replied. "You're just not that nice either."Zachary shot her a look.. "You're really getting cheeky after hooking up with Isaac, huh?"Irene promptly waved him off. "Pretend I said nothing."Zachary snorted. "Save it. Make it up to me and have your son take self-defense lessons to be my daughter's bodyguard later."Irene was left speechless.Her son was precious too, please! A bodyguard?! "No way," Irene snapped, refusing to let her son do it—how far would he get in life with that career?Nearby, Eagle was left speechless

    It was one of the servants, but she appeared antsy.Irene frowned and rose to her feet, asking, "What is it?""There's someone outside," the servant replied, lowering her gaze."Who is it?" Isaac was bemused."Let's go," Irene said.However, she was about to follow the servant when Isaac stopped her. "I'll go."Irene thought about it and decided that it was really better for him to do it, and she nodded.As Isaac headed outside, Zachary followed and asked, "Is there going to be trouble?"He was traumatized and did not want more trouble.Isaac turned toward him, finding him quite the jinx just then. "Keep your mouth shut and we just might be fine."Zachary was left speechless.They both soon arrived at the front door to find the boy outside, and while Isaac did not recognize him, Zachary did."It's Barzel."While Isaac had a hunch who the boy was, Zachary explained, "His parents saved you. James helped him escape."Barzel handed Zachary a letter then, and he took it, bemus

    Isaac had no idea, nor did he understand Barzel's temper since he had never met Barzel before.However, there was every chance that someone was controlling him, especially with that attitude…"Have someone keep an eye on him. See who he's contacting, but if there's no one forcing him, pay him off."Isaac was obviously not keen on having anything to do with someone like that boy."Okay. I'll get it done right now," Zachary replied, worried that Barzel could give him the slip.As Isaac returned into the castle, Irene asked, "Who was it?"Isaac told her everything, adding, "He was asking for money.""Give it to him. His parents did save you," Irene said. She was grateful toward Barzel's parents and there was no question that Isaac was safe because of their help—the gratitude must be considered."I know," Isaac replied.He would not miss the money because he could earn it again, and Barzel was not asking for that much.However, he was too young, and Isaac was worried he was bei

    Zachary seemed to read Erin's thoughts and said, "My baby was born under perfectly normal circumstances. Do not let your imagination run wild."Erin blinked her large eyes at him. "What about the mother?"Everyone was left speechless, since most of them knew about Zachary and Lulu.Zachary was at a loss too, but he insisted, "My baby was born unto me and someone I loved. You don't have to question that."He was not lying—he and Lulu were definitely in love with each other, and that could never be refuted even if they did not end up together.However, Erin was clearly doubtful, convinced that Zachary was a playboy.Irene quickly changed the subject. "Erin, where's everyone staying?"Erin smiled. "We've already arranged for a place.""Thanks for going through the trouble—you and James." Irene smiled.Still, Erin pulled Irene just then, whispering, "James has been restless. He wants to get back to work, and I know that he's worried about how things are over there. However, my fat

    Erin turned toward where Tommy pointed and smiled. "You are your daddy's son. You just might be taller than him."It was exactly what Tommy hoped for, and he could not help smiling.Erin then went up to James. "You can wait until dinner to chat. They need a break after their long flight."Alright then. See you guys later," she said and clapped Zachary on the shoulder. "Congratulations on getting a daughter.""You too," Zachary replied. "On getting hitched and becoming cousins with Isaac."James was left speechless, while Isaac shot Zachary a look before turning and heading into the house.Zachary shrugged. "I'm not wrong."James snorted. "No, but you're indulging your relationship."It was as if Zachary was saying that he was marrying Erin to get connected to Isaac, when their relationship was so pure, and they only cared about how they felt toward each other! Isaac was not even involved.Zachary certainly was not thinking when he said that, and it was a little inappropriate w

    Before James could speak further, Mick added, "Erin's my daughter. Everything that is mine is hers, and it's not like I can take these to my grave anyway. Don't turn me down now—if you feel like you owe me, just treasure Erin. I won't play around if you ever bully her."James did not get uncomfortable because of Mick's words. Instead, he said somberly, "Don't worry."Mick patted him on the shoulder. "You have to take care of yourself too."He certainly did not want James' injuries to get permanent, or Erin would have to live with a disabled person for the rest of her life.His fatherly affection left Erin's tears welling in her eyes, and she leaned against his arm. "Dad, you should come with us to Franconia!"She really could not bear leaving Mick to live alone—he was going to be very lonely with Yvaine Lynd gone. And the older one got, the more afraid one would be of loneliness. However, Mick was used to life here and would not be accustomed to life anywhere else. He used t

    Soon after the wedding, Mr. Fowler proposed for Stan to work at his company to get used to the work over there.He was worried as he did not have much time left, and it would not do if he was gone before the proper arrangements were made.Still, Stan returned to Franconia with Isaac and his family, sorting out things at work and finishing every task he had on hand.While Isaac used to have a lot of free time with Stan around, he was just slightly busier after Stan left. After all, no company should operate in a way that losing a single person would stall all their operations.And after a week, Stan sorted out all the remaining tasks he had in Franconia and returned to Zidonia to start work at the Fowlers' family business.While Stan had property in Zidonia too, he moved into the Fowlers' mansion, but not as a live-in son-in-law. He was simply aware of Mr. Fowler's illness, and Rea wanted to spend more time with her parents.And as the son-in-law, he was obliged to do that much.

    Despite feeling wistful, Mr. Fowler eventually passed Rea's hand to Stan. "I hope you will both cherish each other from now on."Rea told him, "We will."Thereafter, it was the usual proceedings of a wedding, with exchange of rings and vows, the wedding speech, and the luncheon!Though everything went smoothly, Mrs. Fowler could not help shedding tears.She was pleased that her daughter was finally getting married, especially since she was looking forward to this.But now that Rea really did marry, she was worried that her life might get difficult and unhappy.Such was the worrisome nature of mothers.-Later, Stan led Rea to Isaac's table.They were all acquainted, but Stan introduced everyone once again to reacquaint them with Rea.After all, she was no longer Zachary's friend's cousin now, but Stan's wife.Erin was grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations.""Thank you." Rea smiled in return."Congrats," Baby said, imitating the adults.Rea reached out to stroke his c

    Zachary said, "I heard you sealed the deal with Rea Fowler, and her family is preparing for your wedding."Stan smiled. "I'm the look of success—getting a girl couldn't be simpler. See? I'm getting married already.""Well, I guess we're all taken now," Erin said.Tommy poked his head up just then. "Congratulations, Uncle Stan.""Thank you." Stan chuckled, patting his head."Also, I heard that you're marrying into the Fowler family?" Zachary asked.Everyone turned to stare at Stan in shock, but it was understandable.Stan was not that modest that he would have to go that far—he had money and was successful enough to afford a wife.Still, Zachary—who knew the Fowlers—suggested, "To be fair, they do need someone to take care of the family business…"-Either way, it meant that Irene's family would be delaying their return trip to Franconia.After all, none of them had expected to attend Stan's wedding so soon after Zachary's.Stan himself did not expect that either, as he had

    "What's the problem? We've already slept together," Rea said as she put her clothes on.She frowned as Stan was still on the bed and not moving. "What, are you going to stay in my bed forever?""What am I supposed to wear?" Stan shrugged. "You haven't brought my clothes here.""I'll get it for you."Rea remembered his suitcase then and hurried downstairs to bring it up."Wear whatever you like. I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and hurried away.Stan got out of bed and put on a suit—it was only right to dress formally when it came to discussing marriage.After cleaning up and heading downstairs, he found Rea sandwiched by her parents.Stan had no idea if she had already mentioned it, but both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler were both staring at him, leaving him further tense.Clearing his throat, Stan began, "Excuse me, but—""Yes, we agree to you marrying our daughter.""You mean marrying into our family," Rea corrected them.Everyone else was staring at her before asking all at o

    If Rea asked her parents now, they would only get sad, and life would become difficult for everyoneWhat should she do to make them happy?Right, she could get married! Her parents would definitely be pleased. As for the choice of bridegroom, did she not have one readily available here?If Stan could pretend to be her boyfriend, he could definitely be her husband too.They could fake their marriage if they had to!Putting the medical file back where she found it, she wobbled up to her feet and left the room.Stan had yet to step out of the bathroom when she returned, so she sat on the bed and waited.After a while, Stan stepped out with a towel around his waist and paused when he saw Rea sitting there. "Where are my clothes?" He asked, presuming that Rea had forgotten since there was nothing on the bed or the table. "My suitcase is still in your car trunk."Rea turned toward him. "Let's get married."Stan was left speechless for a moment and soon chuckled, "Did you forge

    Mrs. Fowler smacked her daughter, but while Rea thought she was angry, she said instead, "Just do your best."Rea's mind was blown—were her parents bewitched? They were completely different from before! A long time ago, her parents had used to tell her that she did not have to marry as long as she was happy.But later on, they had persistently sent her on blind dates… and now, they were telling her to seduce a man?Touching her mother's forehead, Rea asked, "Are you sick?"Mrs. Fowler slapped her hand off. "Your dad and I are leaving now.""Yeah." Mr. Fowler nodded. "The chauffeur is waiting."Rea walked them to the door and watched as their car left before returning inside.She did not go upstairs since Stan was asleep, and she would be bored—she was the type who just could not sit still.However, it was inappropriate if she left since that would leave nobody home.In her boredom, she thought of pranking Stan. She headed upstairs to find him asleep, and soundly at that.Ca

    Unable to argue against her parents, Rea said, "Fine, fine. Whatever you say."Mrs. Fowler smiled. "Then help Stan upstairs to get some rest.""Which room?" Rea asked.Mrs. Fowler realized with a start and quickly said, "Oh, there's no bedding in the guest room… So let him stay in your room."Rea was left staring at her in shock. "When did you get so open-minded? Letting a man stay in your daughter's room?"Mrs. Fowler shrugged. "What can he do when he's drunk?""Haven't you heard of drunken fumbles?" Rea asked.Both Mr. and Mrs. Fowler shook their heads at the same time. "Nope."Rea was left totally speechless—this was just outrageous!She would think that Stan was actually their son, if it was not for the fact that they were not acquainted before.They were not like this before either—even if they were urging her to get married, they were not throwing her at a man like this!Mr. Fowler then said, "If anything happens, we'll demand that he takes responsibility and marries y

    "I get it," Stan replied quietly. "I wouldn't have been upset even if you didn't explain yourself. But since you did, I forgive you."Rea's brow creased as she pursed her lips. "See? I knew it. We really shouldn't be too nice to you."While Stan was speechless, Mrs. Fowler was enthusiastically putting food on Stan's plate. "This is our family's favorite dish. Try it."Stan nodded after a bite. "It's good."Mrs. Fowler smiled, while Mr. Fowler poured him a glass of wine. "Can you hold your liquor?"Stan smiled. "More or less.""You're being humble now." Mr. Fowler smiled at him. "You're definitely a good drinker.""A little."Rea had enough right then. "Dad, Stan has work to do, and he has to return to Franconia tomorrow. You're going to make things difficult for him."Mr. Fowler smiled awkwardly. "Right…" "You think?" Rea huffed, snatching his wine away. "Everyone only gets to have one glass."Mr. Fowler glared at Rea. "Party pooper."Rea shrugged. "I'm doing this for your

    Rea turned her head aside. "Then what's your hobby?"Stan did a double take and remembered his life… which was work and more work.It had been years since he took leave, and he would not get to goof off the last few days if it had not been for Zachary's wedding.Hobby? He certainly did not have anything like that.Now that he thought about it, his life was boring and monotonous, and he did not have anyone very close.That was why he wanted a kind, understanding wife to care and offer him company while he took care of her needs.When he looked up at Rea, he clearly felt that she was not for him—he needed someone to take care of him, but with her, he would be busy taking care of her instead."You're looking at me weirdly," Rea suddenly said."How so?" Stan asked.Rea moved closer, looking him in the eyes and asking solemnly, "Don't tell me—you've fallen for me?""You don't just suffer from a flawed personality—you're narcissistic too."Stan pursed his lips and checked the tim
