Kevin pointed out, “It’s quite fulfilling, but I have difficulty getting into character.”“Just imagine her as a gorgeous beauty.”“She’s already a beauty.”Callum chuckled. “Well, that’s settled then. A beauty with a family background similar to ours. She’s more than enough for you. Hurry up and make your move. Once other men discover that Mr. Queen is actually a beauty, they might beat you to it and you’ll be left with regret.“Trust Nana for having a good eye! She only wants the best for us.”“It’s not that I don’t trust Nana’s judgment, but… Let me figure out how to start. You guys have it easy, you only have to give flowers as a gift. What could I possibly gift her? She’s a man in the public eye. If I were to gift her flowers, my name would end up hitting the headlines the next morning.”Kevin York was after a man’s heart—such shocking news could cause a stir in both Wiltspoon and Jensburg.Knock, knock.There was a knock on the door, which sounded neither light nor heavy.
“Camryn, he’s my younger brother, Kevin, the third among us York boys.”Callum knew his fiancée was not familiar with Kevin, and there was no way she could guess his identity from his voice, so he offered the explanation to Camryn.Again, Camryn smiled at Kevin and greeted, “Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Kevin.”“Hello, Ms. Newman. You can just call me Kevin.”Callum had already told Kevin that she was his sister-in-law.Camryn kept smiling.She turned around and handed the bouquet along with some pastries she bought to Callum. “Callum, I’ve brought you the bouquet you requested. I heard that you’ve not had lunch, I’ve also brought some pastries for you to enjoy during tea.”Kevin thought to himself. Did Callum really skip lunch, or was he just making excuses?That was it.It was then Kevin realized that he had found a way to get close to Hayden. Even if he had no reason to meet up with Hayden, all he had to do was to make one up.As Callum took the gifts and put them on his d
Trenton, who was told everything, was broken and confused.He had planned on becoming a civil servant in the future, but he never expected his parents and sister to commit such a grave crime, which closed off his path to becoming a civil servant.What was even harder for him to accept was that his own parents had killed his sister’s biological father. He and Camryn shared the same mother, but how did their mother treat Camryn?After learning the truth, Trenton finally understood why his parents were so cold to Camryn. It turned out that it was because of the death of his uncle.Trenton felt that it was right for Camryn to avenge her father and punish her relatives. After all, it was his parents’ fault for committing such heinous crimes.However, they were still his biological parents. He found it difficult to accept that his sister, whom he had always respected, treated his parents this way.Since learning the truth, Trenton had been avoiding Camryn. He had been staying at his cl
Dalton responded to Callum, “Invite me again when you actually have a wedding planned.”As he was talking, Dalton opened the car door for Camryn. After she got in, he got back in the car immediately as he was unwilling to spend another second arguing with a rascal like Callum. Dalton quickly drove away from York Corporation with Camryn in tow.Callum watched as the car disappeared into the distance. He did not go back until it was out of sight.The security guards on duty were all looking at him.“That’s my future brother-in-law.”Callum could tell what they were thinking. To prevent rumors that his fiancée ran off with some other man from spreading, he jokingly explained the situation to the guards.Although Dalton was not Camryn’s biological brother, the two treated each other as siblings. As Camryn regarded Dalton as her elder brother, he was naturally Callum’s brother-in-law.The security guards chuckled sheepishly.They overheard how the COO had addressed Mr. Mitchell. T
“Let me taste it.”Kevin reached out to get some pastries.Before he could grab it, Callum slapped his hand away.“This was sent by my fiancée and it’s a little token from her with much love. I'll enjoy it myself. If you want some, go get from Mr. Queen.” Kevin then said with his eyes wide open, “Callum, you’re too stingy. It’s just a little piece of pastry, why won’t you let me have a taste? I heard that when Zack couldn’t finish the breakfast Serenity had prepared for him, she asked him to bring some to the office for you to eat.“You should learn from Zachary. He took care of his brothers without neglecting his wife.”While eating the pastries, Callum replied, “That’s why he’s the big boss. I’m only the second-in-line, I do not have such generosity.”Kevin was speechless.He got up pretending to be in a huff and said, “You think I’m dying to eat your pastry? The pastries made by our hotel’s pastry chefs are much better than the ones outside.”“Then go eat at the hotel. No
Dalton and Camryn were at Seaview Villa, the place where they would always choose to talk about business. As for the workers in the villa, Dalton was the one who chose them for Camryn.Although Camryn was now the head of the Newmans, her butler and servants were employed by Mrs. Newman. Given that they had been working for Mrs. Newman for years, they would be biased toward her.Camryn had thought about firing those servants and employing new ones. However, her eyes had not fully recovered. If she had done that, she would not be familiar with the newly-employed servants, which was less secure.Currently, those servants were courteous toward Camryn on the surface. In fact, they were biased toward her brother, Trenton. The butler, in particular, seemed to be on a mission to look after the house for Mr. and Mrs. Newman so that Trenton could successfully take over it.When Camryn was having a meeting with the top management in the study, Dalton was sitting beside her and assisting her.
“Having said that, Mr. Callum trusts you, or he wouldn’t have allowed us to leave together in your car.”Dalton choked.The person calling Camryn was not Callum but Aunt Evelyn, who was her father’s youngest sister. Aunt Evelyn had gotten married and moved to a faraway place. She hardly returned to Wiltspoon. “Aunt Evelyn.”The moment Camryn heard Aunt Evelyn’s voice, her expression totally changed. From Camryn’s expression, Dalton could see her reliance on her aunt.Camryn had a close relationship with Aunt Evelyn; it was because of her that Camryn’s life was saved.In the last decade, Aunt Evelyn had gone around to look for well-known doctors to help treat Camryn’s eyes. She had also brought Camryn along to ask for medication and prayed for her.“Camryn, where are you now? I went to your flower shop, and your assistant said you were out. When I went home, I didn’t see you either.”Aunt Evelyn had turned against Mr. and Mrs. Newman because of the death of Camryn’s father and
Now, Brenda and Amy wanted to return to Newmans’ residence to compete for the property.There was no sisterhood between Evelyn and her sisters anymore.“Alright. I’ll wait for you at home, Aunt Evelyn.”“Okay. I’m going to take a cab and head there now.”Aunt Evelyn ended the call after speaking to Camryn for a short while. Knowing that Aunt Evelyn would be coming, Camryn said to Dalton, “Dal, let’s buy some seafood home. Aunt Evelyn loves to eat seafood.”“Alright.”Dalton accompanied Camryn to buy a lot of seafood.Camryn wanted to cook the seafood so that Aunt Evelyn could eat it once she came. Unfortunately, Camryn was blind, and she had to get Dalton’s help eventually.“I’m really useless.”Camryn said with inferiority, “I’m trying my best to live a normal person’s life, but I can’t do it.”Dalton consoled her by saying, “Cam, don’t overthink. Since Aunt Evelyn is coming, she must’ve found the genius doctor. She’s coming to tell you the good news and bring you to the d
Remy gave it some thought. If he were to become a father, he would also be extremely happy, to the point that he would forget about posting on social media.They were usually busy people and did not have the habit of posting regularly anyway. Josh only started sharing a lot on Facebook after he got married. He simply wanted to show off his life after marriage and irritate his friends who were still single. Even Zachary would post about his love life on Facebook occasionally. Remy suddenly felt he had to keep up with the trend and post something on Facebook during his free time. Remy and Elisa went to buy some supplements before heading to the hospital. There were still many people in Jasmine’s ward. Most of the men were sitting in the small living area while the women were chatting with Jasmine or looking at the baby in the room. The baby boy was already fed and in fresh diapers. He was sleeping soundly. “Jasmine.”Elisa walked over with the supplements she had brought.
The secretary wished she could skip work and visit Jasmine at the hospital with Elisa. However, that could never happen. She was simply an employee, while Elisa was her boss. The only alternative was if Elisa invited her along. Nevertheless, the employees could meet Jasmine during their break or visit her at her house. Elisa left excitedly. A Maybach was parked at the entrance of the company. When Remy spotted Elisa exiting, he stuck his head out and waved at her. Upon seeing him, she was no longer in a hurry to get to her car. She quickly walked over. “Why are you here? Why didn’t you go inside?”Elisa was beaming. As she had received good news, she had a smiling face regardless of who she met.“I just arrived. I didn’t drive inside when I saw you coming out. Where are you going?”Remy got out of the car.“Jasmine gave birth. I want to go to the hospital to visit her and her baby. You came at the right time. We can head over together, but let’s get some supplemen
“Yes. Health is the most important thing. Everything else is secondary. With the York family’s wealth and numbers, they won’t have to worry about not having a successor even if your child is slightly more ordinary.”Of course, Elisa personally hoped the next successor of the York family would be her nephew.The Stones and the Yorks could be considered relatives because Elisa and Serenity were cousins.The successor of the Stone family was most likely Clive’s son. If the York family’s heir was not Serenity’s child, would the two families’ relationship that was finally mended become strained again?After all, the head of the York family would no longer be a relative of the Stones if that were the case. However, Elisa did not voice her thoughts. She did not want Serenity to feel pressured. As an aunt, she also thought her nephew’s health was more important than anything else.“You must be busy, Elisa. You should go on with your work. I shall not disturb you. I appreciate your
“A baby’s face changes almost every day. We’ll only know who he takes after when he’s a little older.”Serenity agreed. “I should call Elisa and share this news with her.”Jasmine probably did not have time to tell her friends about her newborn. Serenity also forgot to inform Elisa because she was too worried about Jasmine. Zachary told her to call Elisa only after they were inside the car. There were too many people in the hospital. Serenity held back her excitement and immediately called Elisa when she got in the car. Elisa was extremely busy at the company. She was the only one who could manage their joint company at that moment because Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they wanted to return to the company to work, Elisa would not allow them. Rest was of utmost importance for pregnant women. Elisa was unmarried and not pregnant. She did not mind being busier. She only picked up Serenity’s call after some time.“Seren.”Elisa held the phone in her left h
“All that matters is that you’re okay, honey. Let’s not have more children. We’ll just have this one son.”Josh spoke while holding Jasmine’s hand.Women had to experience immense pain when giving birth. It came with many risks as well. Josh had heard other people saying that a woman usually had one foot in the grave during childbirth.He was genuinely shocked after accompanying Jasmine through her labor. He had been terrified and worried that something would happen to Jasmine.Luckily, everything ended well. Jasmine and their son were safe. However, Josh did not want to experience something like that again. Having one child was enough. There was no need for a second or third child. The Buchams were a big family anyway. He did not have to bear the responsibility of expanding the family alone.“Okay. We shall not have another baby.”Although Jasmine was brimming with motherly love and recovery from a vaginal delivery was quicker, she still thought childbirth was too
It was not just Camila. The rest of the people there also had the same thought. Josh and Jasmine had a great relationship. If something happened to Jasmine, Josh would be devastated and lose all hope of living.“Congratulations. The mother has given birth to a boy safely. The baby boy is six pounds and three ounces.”The people who brought Josh out were the anesthetist and nurse.The nurse instinctively reported the good news when she saw the crowd.Then, she explained, “The father probably fainted from shock after the baby was born. Come over and help bring him to the side to rest. The mother won’t be out that quickly.”Upon hearing her words, everyone’s mood brightened up.Camila, whose legs felt weak just now, was immediately filled with strength and stood up. Without Drake's help, she went to the nurse and asked, “Does the baby need to be in the incubator since he was born prematurely?”The nurse replied, “We’ll put the baby in the incubator and observe him for a while. If
Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain. When
With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the
People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe
