After taking a shower, Elaine walked out of the bathroom.She had prepared a few sets of lingerie, but she didn’t dare put them on after tonight and just chose a loose T-shirt that covered her thighs.She walked down and saw Ian going through some documents on the couch.“You’re still awake.” She walked over.Ian looked up at her and placed the documents on the table. “Can you sign here, please?”She sat down on the couch and took the documents. It was the agreement to receive 5% of shares from Synergy.“This is what I’ve promised you.” With the 5% of shares from Synergy, it meant that she was a shareholder of Synergy, and that was something he had promised her.Elaine didn’t really care about the shares, but she felt complicated when Ian actually gave them to her because this was part of the agreement for their marriage. She didn’t sign. Ian looked at her. “Is everything alright?”Elaine slowly said, “You wanted to give me shares because it was a term of our marriage of
Ian laughed, walked toward her, and hugged her from behind.Elaine jumped and turned around. “You’re such a quiet walker.”“Why are you up so early?”“To make breakfast for you.” She thought that he shouldn’t be the one who always made it. Ian lowered his head to kiss her ear. “There’s no need for that.”“No, I want to.”Seeing how resolute she was, he smiled. “Alright.”Elaine never cooked, so even after watching the tutorial, it still turned out disastrous. She lost her appetite when she saw it, but Ian finished all of it. Even though he didn’t say that it tasted bad, she still felt discouraged.Elaine would go to the Lakeview Apartment for the next few days to ask Lucy to teach her how to cook after work.Lucy was surprised. “Don’t you hate cooking?”Elaine had been served all her life and disliked the kitchen because it was too oily. Yet, she started to learn how to cook after her engagement to Ian?Elaine turned away. “I just want to learn from you.”Lucy couldn’t say
Coton was outstanding in a private school, and some universities had already given him admission letters even when he was just 13.Maisie hugged Nolan’s waist. “Yes, our son is a genius. I’ll let you make the arrangements then.”Nolan called the school's principal personally and arranged for Waylon’s transfer, and it was done. Waylon would be in the top class, the same as Zephir.The students in that class started chattering once they found out that there would be a new student.Zephir was reading on his desk, and even though he wasn’t particularly paying attention to the new transfer, he was curious.The teacher walked over with the transfer student, and everyone looked toward the window. Zephir looked too and felt that the person looked familiar.The teacher walked into the classroom with a smile and stood at the front of the class, “Please quiet down. We have a student who transferred in from a school overseas. I hope that you’ll be able to show him around. Let’s welcome him
Daisie stood the book on the desk and covered half her face, only her eyes peering through. “I’m just coming to the library. Do you have to do this?”Colton stared at her. “You read yours, and we’ll read ours.”She pouted and didn’t reply. Waylon helped her take notes and gave them to her. “Colton says that your results could be improved. Let’s learn some problem-solving.”Leah took out the notebook she had when she was in middle school and handed it to her while speaking to Waylon. “Do you think she can understand your notes? It’s best to use mine.”Colton took their notebooks. “She won’t understand. I’ll teach her.”Zephir smiled. “Let me do it.”Leah was annoyed. “Enough all of you. Do you think a middle-schooler like her would understand what you tell her?”Daisie was offended.Colton was quiet. “I’m in middle school too.”Leah was rendered speechless. They would all make Daisie study before the finals.It helped because Daisie went from 15th place in class to the top
Edward put on his indoor slippers and stood there. “Did the doctor say something?”“They said that if I continue the pregnancy, it’ll be a high-risk one.” Jenna didn’t dare look into his eyes while she said that.Edward remained quiet for a few seconds. “We’ll see what happens. It’s fine if it doesn’t work. We have a daughter, and it’s enough.”Jenna looked at him in surprise.After decades of being married, she thought he wouldn’t understand her.Other than the situation with Lucy, which surprised her, she didn’t expect that he would change so much. On Lucy’s side, there was a piece of good news too—she was pregnant! Maisie caught wind of that and visited them after Hector told her.It was Lucy’s first pregnancy and not an easy one. She threw up everything she ate and took a few days off.Maisie brought some sour plums over when she visited.Lucy popped one in her mouth to help relieve the discomfort. “Thank you so much, Ms. Vanderbilt.”“Don’t mention it,” Maisie sat nex
Daisie was a little bit uncomfortable with her enthusiasm. She caressed the Alaskan Malamute in her arms and replied, “It’s called Goldbar.”“G-Goldbar?”Violet’s smile froze. She couldn't understand why Daisie would give such a lame name to such a cute and beautiful little angel. Colton and Waylon placed their hands on their foreheads. They really wanted to tell her that their sister was bad at giving names. Resting his chin on his palm, Waylon squinted and studied Violet. He felt that he had seen her somewhere.Suddenly, an image flitted across his head. She was the woman that had appeared with Zephir in the restaurant that day. “You are our aunt, right?”“Aunt?” Both Daisie and Colton were stunned.‘So does this mean that she’s our uncle’s wife?’Violet took a deep breath and forced a smile on her face. “You guys would be even more adorable if you could stop calling me aunt.”Violet left her pet at the shop and treated them to a meal in a restaurant. Since she was their a
Daisie had been heartbroken for a half month because of him.Even when they thought he was dead, they did not dare to talk about him in front of Daisie. Yet, he had forgotten everything that happened between him and Daisie?“Even though he's the same age as us, he has taken over the Knowles. Yorrick told our great grandfather that he’d become our toughest opponent in a few more years,” said Waylon.Colton gnashed his teeth. “He’ll become our toughest opponent? Who does he think he is?”“Don't underestimate him, Colton. We train ourselves to become stronger, but he has experienced more than us. Besides, he took over the company earlier, and I heard that he has received an unconditional offer from Victoria Business College. I’m confident that he will be able to break our rules within a few years.” Victoria Business College was a royal college in Yaramoor. It was also one of the top universities.Most of the highest quality business elites, architects, researchers, and executive le
Elaine opened her eyes slowly. Ian came over and grabbed her into his arms. “Hey, you almost fell asleep.”“Well, I just can’t help it. It’s too comfortable,” she replied softly.Ian moved his lips to shower a trail of kisses down her cheek.Elaine woke up and raised her head. She placed her hand on his chest and shouted, “Ian!” He chuckled but did not stop. “Did you go to visit your sister today?”“Yeah…”Lucy and Hector were going to spend New Year’s in Coralia. Since she was in Coralia as well, she went to pay her a visit. Lucy was four months into her pregnancy, and both of them had decided to hold a wedding when she had the baby.Sensing her distraction, Ian buried his head into her neck, tickling her with his short hair. She giggled and tried to run away. “Ian!”“When are we going to have our wedding too?” he asked, stunning Elaine.She had not given him a fixed answer in the past few months.In the past, Ian did not feel anxious to get married, and he just let nature
