Chapter 1141

Glaring sharply at Vivian, Ken demanded, "Do I need your permission to be here? You're just a secretary, and one who only got her job because of pressing circumstances—and you're here telling me how to behave?"Vivian did a double take—she presumed Ken to be agreeable since he was noncommittal about everything, and she really forgot her place!Forcing herself to stay calm, she replied, "Mr. Slate told me to be here.""For what?" Ken asked in return.Vivian was actually left stumped. "To clean the house. He's worried that Wendy can't do it all alone.""Are you sure that's what you're doing here instead of causing trouble?" Ken stared at her pointedly from head to toe, his tone clearly one of contempt. "You look like you're enjoying your time here."Vivian lowered her gaze and realized that she was still in her pajamas, having just woken up because she was hungry.Still, she also became frustrated as she remembered the incident of the roasted goose, which failed to earn her an aud

Ken's eyes widened in disbelief. "For real?""Of course," Lulu replied. "So don't bother me anymore."Ken simply folded his arms before his chest as he looked on interestedly. "Then tell me—are you a top or a bottom?""What?" Lulu was perplexed.Ken laughed out loud right then, and Lulu looked at him as if he was crazy. "Go to the hospital if you have issues.""I'm perfectly fine," Ken replied, shaking his head. "Why would I be sick?"Sighing, he explained, "The fact that you haven't heard of those terms when you're claiming to be a lesbian makes it obvious you're lying. You prefer men in the end."Lulu then realized that 'top' and 'bottom' was some lingo, but she certainly had no idea even if she did not discriminate against homosexuals. Be it men with men, or women with women—preferences are dictated by feelings and boundaries are irrelevant. Who can judge right or wrong or dictate something unlawful even if society dislikes it?Wargh—Star suddenly woke up, and Lulu hurri

Chapter 1143

Zachary was worn out since work schedule had been tight for days. He called Ken during his break, intending to ask how Lulu and Star were doing, but Ken never answered.Tapping his fingers impatiently on his table, he thought about it for a while and decided to call Lulu instead.However, since she had put her phone on silent before sleeping last night and was busy coaxing Star to sleep, she did not hear it vibrate.Unable to reach Lulu or Ken pushed Zachary over the brink, and he did not hesitate to drive home immediately.Meanwhile, Ken lay down on the living room couch as if he owned the place—he was not one who would put himself through any suffering anyway.-Vivian was left gaping when she arrived at the place Ken told her to go to.It was a ton of furniture! She was basically told to move houses! And how was she supposed to do it?! She had never moved that many things in a single day, and she would be exhausted!When she whipped out her phone, ready to call a moving co

"Of course," Irene replied. "There's Mrs. Watson too."Her mother Sheryl Harris had babysat a lot over the years, so Irene sent her on a trip around the world. Sheryl had been working hard for so long that it was time for her to enjoy herself.Naturally, Isaac arranged for tour guides for her, though it would be more precise to call them bodyguards. As they were multilingual, they could both keep Sheryl safe and plan her trip.She basically had nothing to worry about aside from enjoying herself."I'm always getting sleepy lately," Erin said."That's normal in pregnancy," Irene replied."Did the same happen to you when you had Tommy and Baby?"Irene thought about it. "Not so much, though I did get morning sickness."Erin rested her chin on her hand. "Why do pregnancies last for ten months? It's so taxing, and I was so shocked when I read about the potential risks pregnancies pose to the mothers' health. And there are stretch marks that look like cracks… Do you have those?"Ir

The room was quiet, save for the gentle breeze blowing in through the window.It was not cold and was actually invigorating. Zachary sat by the bed to watch Lulu sleep.Without her lies or pretenses, Zachary found serenity—if only time could stop here.He glanced at Star in turn—was she sleeping soundly as well because she knew her mother was right beside her?It was certainly better for children to stay by their mother's side.As he pulled the blanket over them, Lulu stirred and opened her eyes, then stared at the figure before her quizzically. There should not be anyone here… was it Ken?Still, she soon sat up when she saw who it was."M-Mr. Slate?!" she exclaimed as her head cleared, straightening her clothes as she got out of bed. "Shouldn't you be away for a month? Why are you back so soon?"Worried about her modesty again, she buttoned her blouse. Zachary studied her and kept his voice deliberately cool. "I said I wanted to see Star every day. You didn't answer my v

Chapter 1146

Zachary sidestepped her by reflex and asked coolly, "Where have you been? I told you to help with the housework, didn't I?""I was helping someone on an errand," Vivian said. "I'll clean the house right now."With that, she rushed into the house and quickly moved to clean the plates and kitchen utensils on the table. However, before she could take them to the kitchen, she dropped the plates in her hurry.Hearing the loud crash as everything shattered into tiny pieces, Lulu hurried out of her room with Star in her arms.As she saw Vivian quickly try to clean up the mess, she stood watching in the distance in silence.On the other hand, Zachary was frowning—how was Vivian supposed to help in any way? She was all thumbs.Still, he stood motionless, deciding to tell Vivian to leave right away if Lulu said she did not need her.Lulu clearly disliked Vivian and could not stand her, but she refused to say it, even if she hated staying under the same roof as Vivian.Instead, she asked,

Chapter 1147

For Lulu, it was better to have Vivian sleep than have her loiter around the house.At this point and considering Zachary's attitude toward Vivian, she had the feeling Zachary had a few screws loose. He knew Vivian was incompetent and could not help with housework but insisted she stayed.Did he just want to mess with her? When did he become so laughably childish?Suddenly, Star woke up and started bawling, her cries so sharp it could tear a heart apart.Lulu hurried to her room and scooped her up in her arms.Star stopped crying right then as if flipping a switch, her cheeks still wet with tears as she leveled Lulu a look of grief.One would think she was being bullied with that look, and yet she was so adorable hearts would melt.Gently wiping her tears, Lulu asked, "Are you hungry?"Star could not respond or understand and stayed pouting.Once Lulu put Star back in her crib, Star started bawling as if there were thorns on the mattress.Lulu smiled exasperatedly, "Oh, Sta

Chapter 1148

As Irene had Baby hand Erin a bouquet, Erin smiled at the child as she took the flowers. "Thanks, Baby."Baby smiled, baring a row of stark white teeth.Since Baby really looked like Irene, she said, "You'll definitely become a pretty boy when you grow up."Irene rolled her eyes. "Why does that sound like an insult instead—a pretty boy with a girly face and all?""That's twisting words," Erin replied with a giggle. "He would definitely be a macho man.""Aunt Erin," Baby blurted just then, able to speak basic words and phrases now. Erin patted his head. "Where's your brother?""School," Baby said adorably."You're so cute." Erin grinned before looking up at Irene. "How'd you know I was here?""James was calling Isaac in the morning, but I answered," Irene replied."Oh," Erin replied, chagrined. "Well, that was embarrassing.""So, what happened here? How did you tumble? You should really be careful in your final trimester," Irene said, her tone stern again.Erin fiddled her

Chapter 1149

Erin had always held a heart of gratitude and therefore always took joy in what she had, never complaining.On the other hand, James took leave over the next couple of days to take care of her.He arrived at Erin's ward with food and smiled when he saw Irene. "Hello, Mrs. Jefferson."Irene nodded in turn. "Take good care of her and don't let her slip again. You need to be very careful during pregnancy."James nodded awkwardly. "Yes, it was my fault for not taking good care of her.""Mom, I'm hungry." Baby tugged on Irene's sleeve just then.Irene placed him on her lap and tousled his jet-black hair.His facial features were more pronounced these days, which accentuated his resemblance to Isaac. They were less obvious with his younger chubbiness.Blinking his round, black eyes, Baby said, "I want to eat."Carrying him up in her arms, Irene said, "I'm taking Baby for lunch.""Then hurry," Erin urged. "Don't starve him.""Actually, he can have some of the food I bought," James

Chapter 1150

Baby was fine with using cutlery, but he tended to make a mess.Still, it was nothing since there were plenty of servants around the house, and Irene did not have to do anything.Once Baby had his fill, they left, picking up Tommy around five when school was out.Irene had both her boys share a room so that they would bond.Tommy took a bath first, while Baby was too young to do it himself. Irene helped him and wrapped him in a towel before she carried him back into his room.Finding Tommy reading a book, Irene helped Baby get dry while asking, "What are you reading? You look like you're suddenly older."Tommy blinked. "But I am the older brother."Irene pinched his cheek, "Yes, and you're all grown up."Once she was done helping Baby get dressed, Baby threw himself at Tommy, hugging him and kissing his cheeks, calling out cutely, "Tommy, Tommy…""You're heavy." Tommy shoved him.Irene smiled as she watched them bond and said, "Take care of Baby. I'll take a bath, and then I'
