LOGINLilian rolled her eyes. “No, definitely not. Even after getting married, we women still need our personal space and freedom. Taking a jealous husband everywhere you go is incredibly annoying.”Jane nodded. “That does make sense.”Fortunately, Ben was not like Tim. Ben had already said that once he finished handling his affairs, he would simply fly over and join them himself.This big brother would not throw a tantrum like Tim.Ben dared to come on his own, but Tim did not. If his wife did not approve and he came anyway, she would probably poison him.Among all the Johnson brothers, Tim was the one most afraid of his wife.It could not be helped, as Lilian was unparalleled in both medicine and poison.Oliver had inherited her talents as well.He dared not offend his wife, nor do anything to their son. Even Laurence excelled in both medicine and poison.If Tim refused to listen to Lilian, she could quietly poison him without saying a word. The thought alone was terrifying.So h
Roxy thought that by keeping a close watch on Laurence, she would eventually see some signs if he truly was the child who had escaped thirty years ago.Unfortunately, her surveillance yielded no results. Laurence was simply too difficult to deal with.“If he really is that child from thirty years ago, he will definitely be a formidable enemy to my entire family,” Roxy muttered to herself.Tony and Manny had openly and secretly targeted Laurence countless times, yet none of their attempts had succeeded. The best outcome they had ever achieved was injuring his bodyguard, Noelle.Laurence remained completely unharmed.To be honest, Roxy was rather envious that Laurence had such a capable and loyal bodyguard by his side.If she had a bodyguard as loyal as Noelle, she could practically do as she pleased throughout Havenmill.Ring, ring, ring.The office phone rang.Roxy answered it. It was Manny calling through the office intercom, asking her to come to his office.After hanging u
Lilian said, “Although the medicinal herbs you grow aren’t as potent as mine, they’re still better than having none at all. Give them a few more years, and their medicinal effects will match mine.”Jane said, “I’ll hang up now. The plane is about to take off. If you’re busy, you don’t have to pick us up at the airport. If you’re free, then come meet us.”Laurence replied, “Alright.”Jane ended the call.She said to Lilian, “This flight is going to take a few hours, so I’m going to get some shuteye.”Lilian nodded. “Alright, go ahead. I’m not tired.”She then took out a book and began reading.Jane explained, “I went to bed very late last night and had to rush for our flight this morning. I’m exhausted, so I’ll catch up on some sleep. Once we get to Laurence’s place, I definitely won’t feel like sleeping.”There would be plenty of excitement there, after all.She planned to stay with her son for a couple of days before paying a visit to the O’Connors in Satbury.She would also
Corey said, “Your business trip’s only at Gallinger, wasn’t it? It’s not that far. Why didn’t you drive? If you didn’t drive, then you really can’t take all this with you. Fine then, just take the snacks Nana bought for you. But don’t eat too many at once. Proper meals are still the most important. I’ll just leave all the supplements for your aunt.”Hearing this, Serenity was speechless. She could not possibly finish that many supplements either.Since Corey and Derek had come over, Jeanne did not return to Westwood Manor. After all, her stay in Wiltspoon was brief. After dinner, she spent time chatting with her grandparents. It was not until nine o’clock that the elderly couple reluctantly left Serenity’s home.Jeanne chatted with her aunt and cousins for a while longer before being urged upstairs to sleep. She had an early train to catch the next day.Early the next morning, after breakfast, Sonny drove her to the rail station. Someone would meet her at the station when she arriv
“We’ll be eating very soon. Heath, go out and chat with your cousins for a while.”Serenity urged Heath to go outside and spend some time with Jeanne and Sonny.After finishing his soup, Heath washed his bowl and returned it to its place. Then he called out to Sonny, “Come on, let’s go outside and talk about work.”Sonny turned and walked with him, saying as they went, “I’m off work now, so I don’t want to talk shop. People should relax after work. If all you do is discuss work at the office and keep on discussing it after hours, you’ll burn out.”After work was personal time, a chance to relax both mind and body, instead of remaining tense all the time.Heath said, “That’s true. Let’s forget work and just relax.”The two cousins returned to the sofa and sat down. As soon as he sat, Heath reached out to Jeanne’s cheek and said with a grin, “Jiggy was so chubby when she was little. Her cheeks were all soft and pudgy. They felt great to pinch.”Before he could touch her face, Jean
Whatever Callia had, Jeanne would have too.The two cousins shared an incredibly close bond. It was likely because the social circle they grew up in was so heavily dominated by boys that girls were a rare treasure.“Whenever Dad is free on the weekends, and my parents aren’t heading out, he practically lives in the kitchen experimenting with all kinds of recipes. Mom is the one who gets pampered, while the rest of us just happen to benefit as a bonus. He’s studied culinary arts, and after practicing for decades, it’d be a miracle if his cooking wasn’t spectacular.”Even Heath had to admit that his father’s culinary skills were a cut above the rest.The three young adults chatted as they walked into the house.The moment Heath stepped through the front door, he headed straight for the kitchen. Spotting a few freshly cooked dishes on the counter, he grabbed a spoon and immediately sneaked a bite.“Heath!”Serenity chided her son, “You’re almost thirty, and you’re still acting li
After ending the call in high spirits, River took a hot shower and then lay in bed playing with his phone.Rosalie had talked to him about children tonight. Their relationship was progressing quickly.Once she returned from her business trip, he would start preparing for a marriage proposal.Rive
“Rosalie, so sorry to have troubled you to come and pick us up.”Rosalie said with a smile, “No trouble, it’s something I should do. River didn’t tell me earlier that you’d be arriving this afternoon, or I’d have made arrangements earlier.”“We only came over in such a rush because River told us a
Sheila smiled. “Grandma May is such a fun person. No wonder the rumors claim that the women who can marry into the York family are incredibly fortunate.“Many elite daughters are dying to marry into your family.”Alex simply smiled as it was the truth. “How old is your niece? She’s probably abou
“I’ll take you to visit my parents and nana when you’re free, Rosalie. My nana has been wanting to meet you in person for a long time.”Rosalie wanted to say that Old Mrs. York would not know her. However, she guessed Serenity would have mentioned her to the old lady after visiting Solville. She sa
