There wasn’t enough space on the bed, so they made floor beds instead.Since it was summer, it wasn’t cold anyway.The boys gathered together and even played cards for a while.Henry asked Brody, “Bordy, Gemma is 20 now. You two can get your marriage certificates now, right?”Brody nodded.Henry said, “I’m so jealous. I still have a few more years to go.”Brody laughed. “Your bride isn’t going anywhere, so there’s no need to rush.”Henry said, “That’s different.”That was true.Back then, Brody had been pretty anxious too.He had always looked forward to Gemma growing up.And Gemma had been even more anxious than he was.On the girls’ side, they were chatting too.But Sparrow wasn’t in any hurry—she was already older than Henry.Since the legal marriage age for men was 22, when she turned 20, Henry would still have to wait four more years before they could get their license.Their attention was on Freya, asking if she planned to marry that boy.Freya’s looks were exactl
Lucifer had never sent messages.The Greyson brothers weren’t in this group.They had another group for discussing serious matters.After all, the Greyson brothers didn’t have wives, so this “Love Your Wife” group chat wasn’t suitable for them.Zain looked at all those “I know” replies and felt he was about to black out.Caleb asked, “Worried about your daughter again?”Zain asked, “Aren’t you worried?”Caleb said, “What’s there to worry about? Besides, if I stop her, will she just stop liking someone? At this age, it’s exactly the time to start exploring feelings.”Caleb said, “It’s only human nature. Stopping her will only make our father-daughter relationship teeter on the edge. Take my advice—don’t meddle too much.”Zain tagged Gilbert. "You have a daughter too. Aren’t you worried?"Gilbert replied, "She’s in the military camp and barely sees any men. I’m not worried for now, but I am wondering if maybe..."Zain was rendered speechless.As a father with a daughter, he r
In the end, the 10-year-old girl comforted him instead, “Dad, Brody belongs to Gemma, Henry belongs to Sparrow, and I have no feelings for the brothers of the Howard family and Uncle Caleb’s son.”Zain said, “This time there were also many other friends.”He was still very worried.Madeline didn’t think this was anything worth worrying about.If she really wanted to like someone and date them, there was nothing Zain could do.Even if he drove one guy away, she could just find another.Zain had no idea what Madeline was thinking.When they arrived at the place, he deliberately went inside to take a look.Everyone was already there. They were just waiting for Madeline.Aside from the familiar faces, there were also a few unfamiliar ones.But most of them were girls.There was only one unfamiliar boy’s face.He asked Gemma who that was.Gemma said, “That’s the boy Freya likes, and he’s also James’s classmate.”Freya Collins and James Hilton were Caleb’s twins.They weren’t
Most of the time, Gemma walked to school by herself, it was very convenient.A month flew by in the blink of an eye.The young couple’s relationship remained very stable.Meanwhile, Janine and Zain’s divorce reflection period ended.Zain went to the Civil Affairs Bureau as agreed.He didn’t want a divorce and was still thinking about how to ask Janine to reconcile.But he waited the entire day without seeing Janine.A huge surprise swept over him, he hurried to his mother-in-law’s house to find her.But Janine wasn’t there.Melanie said, “Mady went to school, and she went traveling alone. But there’s no need to worry. I’ve heard from her and she’s doing fine.”Zain asked, “Where did she go?”Melanie named a place. “She’s traveling around, I don’t know if she’s still there.”If Zain wanted to find her, he had many ways, so he set off immediately.It didn’t take him long to find her.When Janine saw Zain, she had no reaction.She was passionately getting along with a hands
Drinking alone was meaningless.Gemma buried her head in her food.After finishing the meal, she was about to leave.Brody held her hand at the entrance and bent down to be level with her.She was clearly unhappy.“Where did I do wrong? Just tell me, okay?”Brody hadn’t dated anyone else except Gemma.In the past, Gemma had been straightforward and very enthusiastic towards him, everything was written on her face.That made it easy to guess her feelings.But after they started dating, he found it a little hard to understand her.He roughly understood but didn’t know where he had gone wrong.Suddenly, Gemma leaned forward, her lips lightly touching his thin lips.Gemma was all talk, she had only read about it but never practiced.She quickly pulled away, lowering her head and not daring to look at him.Brody froze for a few seconds and pursed his lips together.“I’m leaving.”Seeing that he didn’t respond, Gemma felt embarrassed.How could she be the one to take the ini
Yvonne asked what was wrong.Blake leaned close to her ear and whispered something.Yvonne was quite surprised.After all, Brody's biological father wasn’t exactly a good person.Brody hadn’t been raised by her but had always been kept by Tristan.How did he grow up so pure and innocent?It was hard to believe.She wasn’t even that pure herself.“She was about to kiss you, and you refused, she’s bound to dwell over it.”“What you think isn’t necessarily what she thinks. You two should talk it over together and not asking us. When we dated, we waited until the legal age.”After saying that, she hung up the phone.Brody was deep in thought for a long time.The next day after work, he bought some daisies and went to find Gemma.Gemma came out with colleagues.Everyone in Nelana knew about the alliance between the Greyson and Hilton families.They teased her a little and left with a smile.“Hurry up and go on your date.”Gemma was happy to see Brody but thought about last
