“We were lucky that Serenity didn’t take it to heart. She didn’t get angry and managed to persuade Zack. Otherwise, Zack would’ve gone on and on. It’s embarrassing for me, the father, to be scolded by my son like a child.”Tania circled her husband’s arm with a smile. “You can have more of the food you like later to replenish your energy. You defended me from Zack’s fury.”She had brought the prescription from her family and hid it under the table. It was her mistake. However, it caused her husband to be scolded along with her by their son. She had involved her husband in her trouble. “Let’s go and eat.”At that moment, Josh and Jasmine entered. “Mr. and Mrs. York,” they greeted the elderly couple sweetly. Tania and Liam invited them to head for dinner together. Josh and Jasmine intended to spend their weekend at Wildridge Manor. As they were regular visitors, they made themselves at home quickly and followed Tania and Liam to the dining area. Although Zachary was unhap
The environment and the people were great. Camryn and Callum were not married yet, but they were engaged. Therefore, she gradually changed the way she addressed Martin and Rosella. Her in-laws treated her as if she was their own and were never displeased that she was blind. Her mother-in-law had proven through her actions that as the future second missus of the York family, Camryn only had to spend money. She did not have to care about anything else. Although Camryn could not experience motherly love when she was by her mother’s side, she felt it through her future mother-in-law. People who were loved by their mothers were fortunate.“That’s right. You should have a conscience. As expected, a daughter’s more thoughtful.”Rosella held Camryn’s hand and asked about how life had been treating her lately. The fact that Camryn almost got attacked was kept from Callum’s parents to prevent them from worrying. “Mom, I’m taking Camryn out for a walk to help with digestion. We’ll g
“As long as one truly falls in love, words of affection will come naturally.”Rosella thought her husband had a point. She smiled and nodded. “I wonder how Kevin is doing in Jensburg. It’ll be Dylan’s and Peter’s turns soon if he’s almost settled. If the brothers get married together, our family will have many happy occasions happening soon.”Martin said with a grin, “That’s just your imagination. It won’t be as perfect in reality. The youngest of them is still studying.”Rowan would be busy currying favor with his sisters-in-law if he were in the house during school holidays. By doing so, he could go through fewer workbooks. Otherwise, his eight brothers would keep giving him worksheets as gifts. He would become dizzy from doing all of those exercises. “You’re right. It’ll take ten years before it’s Rowan’s turn. That’s a conservative estimate. If he’s like Zachary, he might only get married after more than ten years.”Thinking of Grandma May’s age, Rosella said softly, “Mom w
Camryn was prideful. Callum could not take charge of everything when he was with her. “Callum.”“Mm.”“Will you feel tired being with me?”Callum stopped and poked Camryn’s face with his finger. Her skin was smooth, so he could not resist pinching it after poking it. Then, he started caressing it. In the end, his future wife could not stand it anymore and slapped his hand away. “I’m being serious here. Why do you keep touching me?”Camryn could not hold back from pinching Callum’s face too. He lowered his head so that she could touch his face easily. She placed her hands on both sides of his face and twisted them. However, she did not put in much strength. He did not feel any pain. She would not bear to hurt him. Callum felt the same way too. He started pinching her face initially because her skin felt nice to the touch. He also wanted to tease her. She was still hostile to him back then and would overreact whenever he pinched her face. However, it had changed to
“My mom mentioned that being the second missus of the York family doesn’t require any skills aside from knowing how to spend money. She also said I’m busy with work and earn a lot, but I don’t have the time to spend that money. That’s why I should marry a woman to help me do that.”Camryn laughed. “I’m not in need of money now.”She had full control of Newman Enterprise’s businesses. Her wallet was already filled to the brim. Camryn was different from who she used to be. She no longer had to hide her weaknesses. “You don’t lack money, but I still hope you’ll spend my money. I’m earning it for my wife. When we have children in the future, I’ll be in charge of raising them. You don’t have to handle anything besides looking beautiful and spending money.”Camryn complained, “Who’s your wife? We haven’t gotten our marriage license yet, but you’re already discussing children. In your dreams.”“If not now, then when? We’re already engaged and will get married sooner or later. You’re
Furthermore, if Kevin drank too much and got drunk, her parents would definitely ask her to take him back to the hotel.“Your dad didn’t drink much, and it’s not often that Kevin eats here. He even personally grilled so much delicious meat for us. Your dad is just having a few drinks with him. Why don’t you join them as well?”Hayden said coldly, “I don’t drink at night.”Kevin smiled at her. “Hay, you just don’t want me to drink too much, but you’re embarrassed to say it, so you’re using your dad as a front, right? Don’t worry, I won’t drink so much that I hurt my stomach.”“Don’t call me Hay!”“Hay!”Sophia called her daughter seriously. “Your name is Hay. What’s wrong with Kevin calling you that?”“Mom, he can call me Mr. Queen or Mr. Hayden. Hay is what my family calls me. I’m not used to him calling me that.”Hayden said in exasperation, “I don’t know what kind of spell he cast on you two for you to treat him as if he were your own. Am I actually adopted?”Sophia said in
Donald said earnestly, “Hay, no matter what other people say, the most important thing is to live your life.“Kevin is very suitable for you. You two are a good match.”Hayden lowered her head and continued to drink her soup. She seemed deaf to her father’s persuasion.Kevin chased after her with gusto, but she had no feelings for him yet.She never even thought of going back to her identity as a girl for him.When Hayden fell silent, Donald did not persuade her anymore. Feelings had to be nurtured slowly.Love at first sight would not happen to his daughter or Kevin.In the end, Kevin really got “drunk” to the point he could not even walk.“Hay, since you’re leaving, send Kevin back to the hotel. His house is still being renovated. We don’t know when it’ll be finished.”Donald very naturally arranged for his daughter to send Kevin back to Fortress Hotel.The house that Kevin bought at Lake Edge was being renovated, so he was still staying in his hotel.Hayden looked at Kevi
Hugh was also capable, but he was not as stable as Hayden.“Feelings can be nurtured.”“I don’t want to nurture feelings with him. I have no interest in him. In fact, I have no feelings for any man because I feel like a man myself.”Sophia said, “You’re not a man, Hay. You’re a woman!”She really should not have agreed to her daughter pretending to dress up as a man all the time.“People outside call me Mr. Queen. No one calls me Ms. Queen.”“You’re just lying to yourself, Hay. What’s wrong with Kevin? His family’s status matches ours. Although it’s a little far away, traveling is convenient now, so it’s just a short flight away. He’s also a capable man who is not inferior to you. He’s not like the typical and weak trust fund babies.”Sophia earnestly advised her daughter, “You’re not young either. You’re already twenty-eight, and you’ll be twenty-nine after New Year. It won’t be long till you’re thirty. If you go on like this, your dad and I won’t be able to rest in peace.“Or
