LOGIN“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
Kent spoke calmly, “As I said, invite whoever you want from your side. It’s your decision. I have no objections.”He paused for a few minutes, but in the end, he couldn’t help asking, “Did Sheila say anything?”“Dr. Jones said that a month from now, she might not have time to attend our wedding. If she can’t make it, she’ll have her uncle, Dr. Marvin, go in her place.”Kent nodded and said nothing else. Deep down, however, he hoped that Marvin would be able to attend his and Mary’s wedding.…That afternoon, in the COO’s office at York Corporation, Callum looked at Alex, who had walked in, sat down in front of his desk, and said nothing.He asked, “Alex, what’s going on? You come in, sit there, and just stare at me without saying a word? Do you think I’m getting more mature and more charming by the day?”Alex replied, “Callum, you’ve always been charming, but you’re married now. No matter how charming you are, you can’t go around captivating other women.”“You’re wrong. There
Mary replied with a smile, “That’s true, no one can say for sure what will happen tomorrow either. Well, if you’re free, please do come by and join in the celebration.“It’ll be even better if you can come with Mr. York.”If Sheila came to the wedding with Alex, it would ensure that Dr. Levitt would utterly give up on Sheila and spend the rest of his days with her peacefully.Sheila knew what Mary was thinking. She said, “He won’t come if he’s not invited. If I’m not free, I’ll ask my uncle to go in my stead.”Uncle Marvin could afford the time off.Kent had been Marvin’s student for two years, so even though Talia’s actions had angered Marvin, he would not hold a grudge since Sheila had already gotten over it. If she gave him the invitation, he would probably go.Mary said, “We don’t know Mr. York so well, so we daren’t give him an invitation.”Besides, even if they did give him one, Alex would not grant them the honor.Unless Sheila came and he came with her as her boyfriend.
“And not let his parents constantly come to the city to look for him and bother him. His siblings get it, too. He’s the biggest earner in their family, so if they allow their parents to come bother him every day, it’ll affect his earnings, and it’ll be their loss, too.”After another pause, Mary continued, “My parents are about the same, so I get it. I can handle anything that comes up.“Thank you for your concern, though.”They were all adults, after all. She would not regret her choice of man and path.Sheila replied, “As long as you’ve thought it through.”It was not like they were very close. They were only acquaintances. Sheila only brought it up out of concern for a fellow woman.If the other party was willing to listen, then great. Otherwise, Sheila would not say anything further.After a while, the dishes arrived. The two chatted as they ate.Most of the time, Mary talked about her future with Dr. Levitt.Sheila would reply from time to time, mostly to wish them well.
“He just felt so sorry toward you and Dr. Marvin.”Mary said, “Your uncle treated him like his own student and he said he learned a lot from your uncle, but now, because of his mother, he’s too ashamed to meet you and your family again.“He put himself under a lot of pressure and was even a little distracted while seeing his patients. He only got a little better after I talked to him a few times.”After all, Kent was a doctor. If he continued to stay in this distracted state, he would easily make mistakes in his work, where the slightest slip-up could lead to serious consequences.She had been working with Kent for a few years now and had learnt quite a bit, so when she was administering injections and dispensing medication, she would pay close attention to Kent’s prescriptions. If she noticed an issue, she would immediately correct it to avoid giving a patient the wrong medication.Sheila said, “Kent brought his mother over to apologize, which I’ve already accepted, and I’ve also
“I’m being a distinguished gentleman.”Hayden accepted his offer and stepped out.However, she refused to walk into the hotel while holding hands with him. The spark in Kevin’s eyes dimmed. Hayden still avoided behaving as his lover in public. As she had mentioned, her love for him was not deep enough
“Camryn, please give me a little time, alright? I’ll call my mom right away.”Callum planted a kiss on his fiancée’s cheek and immediately dialed Rosella’s number.It took a while before the call got through.“Mom, do you have a moment?”Rosella responded, “Hmm, I just woke up. I’m quite free today, wha
Will grinned and said, “If I lose, I lose, no excuses. Don’t be sore losers alright? In the past, you guys have always won the bets, so have a taste of defeat for once. Gambling always involves winning and losing. If you can’t handle losing, then maybe you should quit.”Mark did not utter a word.Quin
The knocking on the door stopped and then resumed.Duncan neither responded nor did he open the door.It was unclear how much time passed before the knocking resumed.It was followed by the sweet voice of Sonny.“Dunc, are you in the room? Are you asleep or awake? Can you open the door for me? I’m holdi
