LOGINSheila said, “It’s fine. I don’t exactly need you to pick me up after work. I can just ride home by myself tonight.”“But I’ve bought movie tickets. I wanted to take you to a movie. It starts at five past nine tonight.”Sheila thought about it for a moment before replying, “Then wait for me here. I’ll ride back to the hospital first, park it, and then come out again.”“Alright.”She turned around, rode back into the hospital, parked it, and then walked out.By then, Alex had turned his car around and was waiting. Once she got in, he said, “I just gave Marvin a call. I told him we’re going to the movies and that you’ll be back late, so he’ll leave the door unlocked for you.”“I have my own key. As long as he doesn’t double-lock the door, I can get in.”“Still, it’s better to let him know in advance.”“If I’m not home, he won’t lock the door anyway. But yes, he’ll worry.”Alex was thoughtful like that, calling ahead to inform her uncle.Soon, the two of them arrived at the cine
Alex reminded Trenton, “Trenton, when you take Merry out to play, keep an eye on him. Don’t go too far.”Trenton nodded. “We won’t. We’ll just stay around here.”He understood how seriously the York family took the children’s privacy. Until they were adults, the media was never allowed to capture their faces, and if anything slipped through, Zachary would step in personally to make sure those images never made it online.“Yeah, just wander around nearby. When you’re back in the manor this weekend, he can run around as much as he wants.”Micah asked, “Uncle Alex, are we going back to the old manor again this weekend?”“Yep,” Alex replied. “Your Aunt Lily will be coming over, so we’re heading back again. What, you don’t want to go? Your great-nana misses you all.”After their last visit, Grandma May stayed on at Wildridge Manor.Callia had originally wanted to stay behind to keep her company, but Grandma May felt bad seeing Zachary and Serenity traveling back and forth every day.
Micah replied, “Great-Nana is doing well, and Lil’ Pie is doing great too. She’s getting smarter every day. She can say a lot of words now.”Trenton smiled. “Of course. She’s growing.”Kids always changed so much in such a short time.The uncle and nephew chatted nonstop along the way.Occasionally, Alex chimed in with a sentence or two, but since he was driving, he could not get too distracted.As they were about to reach the Newmans’ residence, Micah suddenly said to Trenton, “Uncle Trent, I’m going to have another aunt soon.”Trenton replied, “Oh, you’re getting another aunt? Is it your Aunt Rosalie? Your Uncle River just got married.”After processing what his nephew meant, he turned to look at Alex and asked with a grin, “Alex, you’ve got a girlfriend already? Since when? I didn’t even hear that you were dating. Don’t tell me you’re pulling a flash marriage like Zachary and Serenity?”“I do have feelings for someone. I just haven’t won her over yet, but she won’t escape me
“Thank you, Uncle Alex! You’re my favorite!”Micah thanked him happily.Trenton immediately sounded a little jealous. “Merry, didn’t you say I’m your favorite uncle? How is it your Uncle Alex now?”“I love all of you, but I love Mom and Dad the most, and Grandpa, Gramma, and all my uncles too.”Trenton laughed. “Wow, you really spread the love around equally, don’t you?”He picked Micah up into his arms, then said to Alex, “I just got back from a business trip. I’m exhausted and don’t feel like driving, so you drive. I’ll keep Merry company.”Alex replied, “I wasn’t counting on you to drive anyway.”A few minutes later, Alex drove off from the preschool with the uncle and nephew in the car.“How did things go?” Alex asked.Trenton leaned back against the seat and replied, “It was resolved smoothly. Still, it was exhausting. Running a business is really hard. I’m nowhere near as capable as Camryn.”“Take it slow. You’re doing well—better than a lot of second-gen heirs. Most of
“I was away on a business trip for a while and just got back. I missed Merry, so I thought I’d come and pick him up. I called my sister, and she said you were coming to get him. So I thought I’d try my luck here and see if I’d run into you.”Trenton truly adored his nephew, Micah.“No wonder I haven’t seen you for a while. You were on a business trip. Callum told me to pick Merry up, so I came. If I’d known you were free, I would’ve had you come to my place to get the guardian card.”Trenton smiled. “I just got back from the airport. It was a last-minute decision.”So, the two of them waited outside the preschool.Ten minutes later, Micah came out with his teacher.“Uncle Alex!”With his sharp eyes, the little guy spotted Alex instantly in the crowd.Well, that was because all his uncles were tall and handsome, and they stood out anywhere.After handing over the guardian card, Alex lifted Micah into his arms with a smile. “Are you happy that I came to pick you up?”“Yes! But
“Since it’s Saturday, they’ll probably come as a family of three,” Callum replied.Under normal circumstances, the child would have preschool, and Tim would be at work. That was why Dr. Carden would come alone.Alex nodded. “Alright. I’ll tell Sheila in a bit. She’ll definitely be thrilled.”He had promised Sheila that he would introduce her to Dr. Carden. Now, he could finally keep that promise.“Callum, you go ahead and work. I’ll head back and get to mine.”Alex had decided to go with Callum’s suggestion. When Saturday came, he would bring Sheila back to the manor and confess to her in the flower fields. With endless blooms stretching as far as the eye could see, there would be no need to cut any flowers, and it would still be romantic enough.“Scram.”As Alex stood up, he said, “I don’t know how to scram. Why don’t you show me how, Callum?”“Scram!” Callum cursed with a laugh.“I’m going to tell Camryn that you told me to scram.”Callum immediately reached for something t
Sheila stood up as well. She walked Alex out. However, Alex told her it was alright and walked in the direction of Westbrooke Gardens. Sheila watched him walk out of sight before turning to go back into the clinic.The lady who helped cook for them had already come downstairs to call them upstairs
Daisy asked Serenity, “Can I hold her?”She had not held such a young child for a long time. Her son and daughter had not gotten married yet. She was still dreaming and waiting to be a grandmother. Serenity smiled. “Of course. Callia, can you let Grandma Lafayette here hold you? She’s Aunt Rose
“I don’t want to go back. Besides, my injuries have almost recovered. There’s no need to return home to recuperate. Since Mom gets furious whenever she sees me, it’s better for me not to be home.”“Okay. I’ll visit you whenever I’m free.“Do you have any delicious food here?”Rowan stood to look
“It’s quite easy to get the green light from me. As I’ve said before, as long as the girl comes from an upright family and has good character, that’s enough.“Our family is already extremely wealthy. There’s no need for you lot to enter arranged marriages for benefits. As long as you like the perso
