“Mr. Lewis, it’s late. You should get some rest.” “Okay. You should rest soon too. I don’t really have much to do, so I can sleep late and have a lie-in tomorrow.” The pair said their good nights. Duncan needed to exit the car. His bodyguard first removed the wheelchair from the trunk before helping Duncan out of the car. Once Duncan was seated in the wheelchair, the bodyguard wheeled him into the main residence. His parents, Derek and Corey, should be fast asleep at this hour. Nevertheless, the light came on before the bodyguard could reach for the switch after they stepped inside the house. Corey turned on the lights. She just came downstairs. “Mrs. Lewis,” the bodyguard greeted with respect. “It’s late, Mom. Why aren’t you asleep?” Corey drew close and relieved the bodyguard of his duty. She proceeded to push the wheelchair. “I couldn’t rest until I knew you were home safe. I kept my ears peeled for any outside noise and checked the balcony when I heard the g

Now that Liberty was a businesswoman, she upgraded her wardrobe to reflect the change. Liberty was gorgeous, to begin with. She managed to shed the extra pounds and shine through it all like a phoenix rising from the ashes. She was radiant and became the center of attention wherever she went. A beautiful woman always attracted attention. Besides, Liberty was a divorcee who lived alone with her son; a fact those who knew her were aware of. This made her more desirable to many men. One of them might act with ill intent, but there was no way to know for sure.“I advised her to accept Zachary’s gift and move into The Oasis. I have a villa there too, so I can live in the area if she decides to move there. We can look after each other. I can keep her company or have our bodyguard escort her.” “Liberty can be stubborn.” Corey remembered the time she met with Liberty to persuade her to leave Wiltspoon. Liberty refuted her to the point of speechlessness. She knew Liberty was a woma

The mention of Sonny softened Duncan’s facial muscles. Duncan said to his mother, “I held Sonny to sleep tonight. My heart just melted when I saw him settling down in my arms. The kid is cuter by the day, and I can’t help but grow fonder of him. I don’t expect him to call me Dad. It makes me happy enough when he calls me Dunc.” Hank was still alive. Even though Sonny was not close to his father, it did not change the fact that Hank was his father. In the past, Duncan would comfort Sonny, expressing his desire to be his stepdad. However, Sonny said he already had a father and did not need another one. Sonny mentioned he was not greedy enough to have two dads. Sonny showed Duncan that the boy would never call him dad. That was why Duncan would not ask for more. It was enough for Duncan if he could marry Liberty and raise Sonny together with her. Sonny could call him Dunc since he did steal the boy’s mommy.“Sonny is the most adorable thing. He is such a delight and a ball of sun

“Is Duncan home?” “Yeah, he’s back. He’s resting in his room.” Corey drew near. “Why are you up?” Derek closed the magazine. “You’re worried about our son, and so am I. I can’t get a good night’s rest until Duncan is home. I need to hear the sound of his car to know he’s back before I can sleep.” “I know, right? Neither of us can sleep until he’s home.” “Did he say why he was late home tonight? What did you talk to him about?” Corey sat in bed and pulled the covers while saying, “He was waiting for Liberty. He came home from escorting Liberty home after she was finished with work. Liberty was really busy today, but she won’t work this late anymore. Our son is doing well. Don’t worry. It’s late. Get some sleep. We didn’t talk much, only a little about his future with Liberty.” Derek waited until his wife was down and cozy before killing the lights. “What’s the point of talking about that? Duncan hasn’t fully recovered yet. He won’t be together with Liberty for fear he woul

“Hand over every valuable item you have on your body and in your car. Quick!”Quinn could not see what the driver looked like but she could vaguely hear the robber’s words. She ran over immediately. When the man handed his wallet to one of the robbers with trembling hands, Quinn rushed over and kicked the wallet out of the robber’s hand. Her actions were incredibly swift. She turned and sprinted to catch the falling wallet. Next, with a flick of her wrist, the wallet went inside the car through the open door, bounced off the windshield, then landed on the passenger seat, Everyone was stunned. Quinn’s movements were too fast. She did everything in quick succession. When everyone returned to their senses, Quinn had already kicked two motorbikes over. Before the riders could get up, she picked up the metal bat and beat them up. They howled in pain as they writhed on the floor. A few robbers, whose motorbikes had not been kicked over, jumped off and surrounded Quinn with

Julian fancied women like that. He did not like delicate ladies at all and was unable to develop feelings for them either. Actually, Julian was afraid when he confirmed that Quinn was his fated one, fearing that she would be a soft and delicate woman. However, the results of his investigation were a pleasant surprise. The surprise Quinn had given him after meeting her in person was greater. Her martial arts skills were most likely on par with his. As a young master of the Buchams, his wife had to be someone as skilled as Quinn. That way, she would be able to exercise her authority. “Are you okay, sir?”While Julian was staring at Quinn blankly, she was eyeing him too. Her first impression of Julian was that he was extremely attractive. She had never seen such a good-looking man before. Before coming to Wiltspoon, she heard that there were a few popular handsome guys in Wiltspoon. One of them was the CEO of York Corporation, Zachary York. It was difficult to spot

“May I have your name?” Julian asked. Quinn gave him a business card. “My name’s Quinn Crawford. I’m a martial arts coach, but my students are all children.”Julian took her business card and kept it after reading it thoroughly. He gave her his business card too. However, his identity as a young master of the Buchams was not stated on the card. He simply introduced himself as the CEO of a random company he owned. Quinn received the card with both hands. After taking a look, she smiled and said, “Are you a CEO? The CEOs on TV always have a team of bodyguards with them. Why didn’t you bring a few bodyguards with you, Mr. Bucham?”Julian grinned. “I did have bodyguards with me for several years. However, some of them had to care for their elderly parents while others were forced by their parents to get married. They had no choice but to resign and return to their hometowns for marriage.“Therefore, I haven’t found any suitable bodyguards to replace the old ones.”Quinn did not a

Quinn was unaware of it. She did not even know that she had already fallen into Julian’s trap. On the way back to the hotel, the straightforward and eloquent Quinn had a pleasant conversation with Julian. It felt as if they had known each other for years instead of this being their first meeting. Julian had grown to like his fated partner more. As expected of his woman, Quinn was not only skilled in fighting but she was also outspoken and had a frank personality. A woman like her was suitable for him. “Since you’re a CEO, Mr. Bucham, did you have a chance to work with Mr. York? I’ve heard of Mr. York and his wife’s love story even though I was in Summervale.”Summervale was a small city that paled in comparison to Wiltspoon. It was a distance away from Wiltspoon too.Julian was not surprised that Quinn mentioned Zachary and Serenity. From his investigation, Quinn had a hobby of reading novels aside from coaching and exercising. His sister-in-law, Jasmine, shared the same
