LOGIN“Sounds good.” Serenity walked the family out of the hotel before getting back inside and up to the presidential suite, where Zachary usually took his breaks. Zachary drove Grandma May and Callia back home. Grandma May and Callia were quick to fall asleep during the car ride. Holding Callia in her arms, Grandma May sank her back against her car seat. Callia had a good snuggle with Grandma May in slumberland. Zachary tried to strike up a conversation with Grandma May. When he did not get any response, he noticed through the rear-view mirror that the pair was out cold. “They must have been exhausted to pass out the moment they got into the car.” Zahcary was envious of how quickly the pair dozed off. He was not the type to drift off in bed effortlessly. Every night, he would lie in bed, mulling over work before hitting the sack. Sometimes, his mind could not switch off, and he would end up awake all night. Alex dropped Sheila off at her family clinic and said, “Take a
Only then did Callia give Alex a big smile. Out of all her uncles, Callia’s favorite was Rowan. She had the best fun with Rowan, who always took her out. Everyone took a seat in the private lounge, and the meal service began. It went without saying that Zachary and Serenity had ordered ahead of time. Sheila was pretty reserved at first, but it did not take her long to ditch her inhibitions. She did not feel like a stranger in the company of the Yorks. They made her feel like family. Lunch was wonderful, and Sheila was stuffed. It was not just about the good food, but the whole vibe in the room. She could not get enough of the snug feeling all around. Serenity removed Callia’s disguise in the private lounge, giving Sheila a clear look at the little girl’s face. Sheila could not stop gushing over how beautiful Callia was. Sheila could see why the Yorks absolutely adored the child. She must admit that her family would spoil Callia rotten, too. It was impossible not
It would be a stretch to call those run-ins coincidences. Alex planned every single one of them. “Mrs. York,” Sheila said. Serenity replied, “No need for the formalities, Dr. Jones. Just call me Serenity. I’m just a few years older than you.” “Serenity.” Not one to put on airs, Sheila went along with Serenity’s suggestion. Sheila met Serenity in Alex’s ward before. “It’s been a while. You’re looking more radiant than ever,” Sheila complimented from the bottom of her heart. Despite being a mother of two children, Serenity took great care of herself. She looked to be around Sheila’s age, not older. “You’re gorgeous as well.” Serenity looked sharp and smart in business attire. She had grown to be more mature and grounded with a touch of poise than a few years back. Her years of experience in business changed her. Unlike when she ran a bookshop, she now handled big-time contracts. Sheila turned to Callia. “This must be your daughter.” “Yes. This is my daughter, Call
“When are you planning to take your trip in the fall, Alex?” Grandma May asked. Alex replied, “I can clear my schedule whenever. It might be tough for Sheila since her time off is only a single day.” She had to work shifts on rotation even for Christmas and New Year’s. “Two days off should be enough for the trip. You can take the family’s private chopper. It makes travel swift and convenient.” Sheila uttered, “There’s no need for all that trouble, Grandma May. I don’t get a lot of time for trips. “I’ll keep my vacation on a road trip in the county.” As a compromise, Grandma May said, “Alright then. Alex will take you on a drive the next time you get leave from work. We can travel across the county. Nothing beats the sights near home.“I can go on the trip. Zack is not going to stop me from staying local.” Since Grandma May would be joining the trip, Sheila considered the offer for a moment before uttering, “We’ll talk more when the time comes.” “Great. We’ll give you t
As Grandma May put it, the young family members had to work. It was hard for them to find time out of their day to keep her company. “You’re impossible to talk to. Every time we speak, you somehow kill the conversation. I’d rather talk to Sheila.” Alex was lost for words. Sheila burst into laughter. “I think you’re mistaken, Grandma May. I think Alex is a delight to talk to. He knows a lot. I can talk about anything with him. He has some input even when we discuss medical topics.” “Well, in any case, I don’t enjoy a conversation with him. He gets on my nerves sometimes. I only tolerate him because I’m his nana.” Alex replied, “…Sure, whatever makes you happy, Nana.” Grandma May was free to take all the jabs in the world at him. It was a good thing that by doing so, Grandma May secured an opportunity to invite Sheila to his place. “It could just be the generational gap.” Sheila said with a smile, “Okay. I’ll brave a visit to Alex’s when you’re feeling bored on my next
The trio exited the hospital. Sheila arrived at work on her electric bike while Alex drove his Maybach to take Grandma May for her check-up. “Sheila, join us for the car ride. We can talk on the drive over.” Since the electric bike was not the safest transport, Grandma May invited Sheila to ride in the car. Alex said, “I can take you home after lunch if you want to head home for a rest. I can drive you back for your afternoon shift as well. You can ride your e-bike back in the evening.” Sheila replied, “Sounds like a plan.” She helped Grandma May into the car and hopped in. “Do you have a car, Sheila? Alex knows a lot of cars. He can give you the lowdown on any model out there.” Sheila was thoughtful to fasten the seatbelt for Grandma May. Grandma May was not getting any younger, and it showed in her agility. She had a little bit of trouble buckling up. Grandma May happily accepted the help when Sheila readily offered. “I own a car, but it’s nothing like Alex’s. It’
Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she p
“My brothers think I’m the cause of my family’s downfall. They never had any brotherly love for me to begin with and are desperate to eliminate me now. Between the two of us, I’ll be their final target.“While they can’t get any of the family’s items after killing me, they’ll be able to inherit my

Tati did not care what Manny would do. She had no feelings for him. Not only did she know he was ambitious, but he also wanted her family’s wealth. Only a few men deserved Tati’s praise in her entire life. Austin was one of them. Even so, she simply admired him and did not view him as a roma
