INICIAR SESIÓNThe York brothers had privately said they would not follow the same path as Zachary and Serenity. That path could not be replicated anyway.Serenity chuckled. “Although our love story can’t be copied, love itself is quite simple. If you truly like Dr. Jones, what’s there to fear in confessing?”“I’ll wait a bit longer. I want it to be a sure thing.” Alex was not in a hurry, so Serenity didn’t push further.Grandma May said, “Alex is taking his own sweet time, and it’s making me anxious. If I hadn’t stepped in, he’d still be stuck in place!“Sigh, all my grandsons are so good-looking yet dumb. If not for me, you’d all stay single!”Alex nodded. “Yes, yes, we’re fools who don’t know how to pick our wives. But Nana, you never taught us how either.”The old lady laughed. “Does that even need teaching? You’re all booksmart. This is instinct! When will Sheila have her day off?”“She said if nothing unexpected happens, then it’s this Saturday.”Grandma May said, “Serenity, bring the k
When Alex returned home, he saw two familiar cars parked in the yard. One belonged to his sister-in-law, Serenity, and the other was a bodyguard car.Serenity was here.He parked his bike and went inside with the keys.“Nana, Serenity, I’m back!”Serenity and Grandma May were chatting when Alex came in. Hearing Alex’s voice, Serenity turned toward the door and asked, “Did you deliver the fruits to Dr. Jones?”“I did. She hadn’t gotten off work yet, so I waited at her clinic until she finished.”“Didn’t Callia and Heath come along?” Alex asked about the two children as he sat down.“Nana and I won’t be going back so soon, so we didn’t bring them. Heath has preschool tomorrow. Xavier is there too. With her brothers playing with her, Callia won’t fuss.”When Callia had company, she would not look for her mother.“Your brother is off work already. With him at home watching them, there’s nothing to worry about.”Alex responded, “Oh. Looks like Xavier is basically living at your pl
At that time, Alex had a car accident, but his injuries were not serious, so he did not want to be hospitalized. However, his brothers forced him to stay.The department head told Sheila that the patient was an heir of the York family and instructed her to treat him seriously.As a doctor, Sheila treated all patients seriously, regardless of their family background. Still, the director meant well, so she listened.Alex had never lied to her.Kent did not know Alex’s identity and assumed he was a freeloader.That was why Kent thought Sheila had been deceived, too.“His parents probably like Mary more, right?” Enid asked.Sheila shrugged. “I don’t know. That’s his business. Whoever his parents like has nothing to do with me.”She and Kent would never become husband and wife.Enid nodded. “Ignore him. He’s playing both sides, chasing you while taking Mary and his parents to the beach.”Sheila said, “He can juggle as many boats as he wants. I’m not getting on any of them. What do
“If you go out to have fun, what about me?” Marvin couldn’t help but say, “Are you going to leave me at home alone? I haven’t seen a chrysanthemum exhibition or gone on a fall outing for years.”Marvin and Enid were always tied to the clinic, so the two of them had not traveled in a long time.Sometimes, they thought about closing the clinic and going out, but before they even got far, someone would call, asking for Dr. Marvin to treat them.So it had truly been years since they last traveled.Only during Christmas could they drive around locally, but everywhere was packed with people, and all they could see was the crowds.Instead of enjoying a vacation, they just ended up exhausted.Thus, Marvin and Enid would rather stay home and watch TV than travel during the holidays.Enid laughed. “You stay and watch the clinic this time. Next time you go, I’ll stay. We can take turns relaxing.”Marvin pouted. “No, I’m going with you. It’s been so long since we’ve gone out together. Shei
“Sheila, I’ll head back first. See you tomorrow.”Alex looked at Sheila deeply for a moment, waved with a smile, and rode off.Sheila stood at the doorway, watching him leave.Only after he disappeared from sight did she go into the clinic.Marvin and Enid knew she had returned, but they did not come out, not wanting to interrupt her conversation with Alex.On Marvin’s desk were two baskets of fresh fruit, still with leaves attached.At a glance, it was obvious these fruits had just been picked.“Sheila, you’re back. Alex brought over two baskets of fruit and said they’re freshly picked from his home. His grandmother asked him to deliver them to you.“They’re very fresh. He said they hardly use pesticides since they’re for their own consumption, so they’re completely organic and safe to eat.”The seasonal fruits this time of year were persimmons and pomelos, common fruits on the market.Enid brought a fruit knife and cut open a pomelo. She peeled and split it into segments be
Sheila laughed. “Everyone’s like that. If there are too many boys, they want a girl, and vice versa. They always want the best of both worlds.”In reality, not everything could turn out as one wished.Alex said, “Exactly. Now that my eldest brother and his wife have a daughter, my nana finally has a great-granddaughter, so she’s a bit more satisfied. Before that, whenever she saw someone else’s daughter, she wanted to take her home.”The one Grandma May most wanted to take home was Ben Young-Johnson’s only daughter.He only had one daughter, and every time Grandma May visited FC Manor, she wished she could take Chloe back home. This made Chloe’s late grandmother, Elizabeth, wary of Grandma May, guarding against her like a thief.After Elizabeth passed away, Grandma May had not visited FC Manor for a long time.In life, one would inevitably have to bid goodbye to many people.Thinking about how old his nana was, Alex could not help but worry that one day, she would leave them too
“I feel at ease now too, Mom. Quinn hasn’t said yes to Julian, right? Even I feel like saying yes on her behalf. The Buchams are right for Quinn. They’re all very easygoing and Quinn is the straightforward type and honestly just as easygoing. They’re like peas in a pod.”Zoey glared at Mark. “This is
As for Trenton’s share, Camryn had not taken it.Still, Newman Enterprise was under her control.“Mom told me that you should just ignore her. If she curses you, just gag her and leave.”Callum’s tone turned cold.Apart from Trenton, he despised all the Newmans, including their relatives.His beloved wif
Zoey turned to look at Quinn and asked, “What do you mean by hypoactive sexual desire disorder?”“Julian has a disorder—hypoactive sexual desire disorder. He’ll only have a reaction toward one woman in his whole life. If he never meets that woman, he’ll basically be a eunuch. It’s incurable. You coul
After a moment of thought, Zoey said, “You guys do have a point, but when Julian comes back, I still think you’d better ask to be sure and to ease my worries. Also, Julian might like Quinn and the two are a good match, but Julian is the heir of a rich family and there is still a gap between our fami
