LOGIN“Let’s go.”“Okay.”The family of three headed out happily.“Kent, look, Mary can accompany us to the seaside, but Dr. Jones doesn’t even have time to eat with us. She hasn’t even come to visit us. Mary is clearly better,” Talia said.Talia seized every opportunity to praise Mary, strongly urging her son to choose the nurse.“Mom, we agreed to give me another six months. If Sheila still doesn’t accept my feelings after that, I’ll give up.”Mary was willing to wait another six months for him.If things with Sheila did not work out after six months, he would choose Mary.“Alright, alright, we’ll talk about it in six months. I just think Mary is more suitable for our family. She’s very capable and treats us well.”Talia thought, ‘Unlike that Dr. Jones. I heard her family hires a housekeeper to cook. She probably doesn’t even know how to cook. How would she take care of Kent in the future?‘If she went back to our hometown with Kent during the holidays, how would she prepare a pr
After a brief pause, Sheila continued, “I think his parents are not satisfied with me, mainly because they have Ms. Hicks as a comparison.“I know Ms. Hicks often goes to Kent’s house to cook and clean. Whenever his parents come into the city, she’s the one hosting them, buying groceries, cooking meals, and accompanying them to the hospital with him.“She also takes them out and buys them many gifts. She does everything so well that his parents are very pleased with her.“I’ve repeatedly rejected Kent, so I believe he’ll eventually give up on me, especially since his parents will interfere.”Kent’s parents clearly favored Mary more.Sheila’s analysis was right, as Kent’s parents were already persuading their son to accept Mary and give up on Sheila.In their eyes, no matter how rich Sheila was, she was too busy with work and had no time to take care of the family or their son.When they visited the city, she did not have time to accompany them, let alone prepare three meals a da
Of course, Sheila had a good temperament. She was not the kind of person who made a scene.Sheila explained, “They think I come from a rich family, so they wanted me to lower myself and be accommodating to Kent. Once, his mother was hospitalized, and it just so happened that she was admitted to the hospital where I was doing my internship.“When I found out Kent’s mother was hospitalized, I went to visit her.“Kent’s mother wanted me to take care of her so that he could go to work. She said she didn’t want to tire her son out. Since I was interning at that hospital, I could look after her without it affecting my work.“At that time, Kent hadn’t confessed to me, and I had no idea he had feelings for me. I thought he only saw me as a junior.“Her request completely shocked me. I never expected something like that. Even though I was an intern, I was still working. I had so many responsibilities. How could I take care of her?“Of course, I refused. Then she said I wasn’t considerate
Sheila said in surprise, “You actually could tell my smile was very forced when I came downstairs while you were chatting with Uncle Marvin earlier?“You have great eyesight, Alex.“Yeah, I’m a little disgruntled. It’s Kent again. He called me and told me his parents were in town and wanted to know when I’d be free to spend some time with him and his parents.“Every time his parents visit, Ms. Hicks takes care of them and spends time with them. She’s really good to him and his family.“But he plays hard to get with her. He doesn’t reject her thoroughly and lets her think there’s still hope. While pursuing me, he enjoys the meticulous care and attention Ms. Hicks lavishes on him.”Sheila added honestly, “If he weren’t my senior from school, I wouldn’t even pick up his calls.“Actually, he definitely feels something for Ms. Hicks. It’s just that my family background suits him better and can bring him more benefits. That’s the only reason he’s so reluctant to give up.“If we’re rea
Sheila rejected, “I am having a day off in a few days, but I’ve already agreed to spend it with Grandma May.“Every time your parents come to the city, isn’t it Ms. Hicks who takes care of them and spends time with them? Kent, Ms. Hicks is truly sincere and devoted to you and your family, and you’ve even slept with her before. I hope you don’t let her down.“You say you don’t like her, but you’ve never rejected her, making her think she still has a chance. That’s evidence enough that you don’t feel nothing for her.”Kent said he loved her, and Sheila did not doubt it.However, Sheila did not believe it when he said he did not like Mary.Mary had given him so much, and he should not let her down.“Sheila, why do you keep pushing me toward Mary? I don’t— It’s not what you think between us. I was drunk that night and we didn’t do anything. Nothing happened between us.”“Kent, it’s because I don’t love you, but Mary does. So I’m pushing you toward her because that’s where your happi
“Good afternoon, Kent,” Sheila spoke first.Kent, on the other hand, was silent for a moment before speaking. “Sheila, did you just get up from your nap? Or are you already at work?”“I haven’t left for work yet. I’m getting ready to, though. What’s up?”“Nothing much, I just wanted to call you to hear your voice.”Sheila fell silent for a moment before saying, “Kent, you don’t have to do this. There’s no way we’re getting together. I’ve already said all I need to say.“Also, this issue is between us. It’s got nothing to do with Alex. Stop looking for him. At best, we can only be considered ordinary friends.”“Did Alex run to tattle to you? It’s not like I did anything to him, really, I just had a chat with him. Sheila, Alex isn’t suitable for you. He doesn’t even have a proper job. When I asked him if his job was helping his cousin’s wife collect rent, he actually looked so proud of himself.“Don’t be fooled by his handsome exterior and sweet nothings.”Kent never expected Ale
Callum did not speak.Camryn remained silent when she did not get an answer.She could feel Callum’s gaze on her.After a while, the waiter served the food.“Let’s eat.”Callum finally opened his mouth but did not answer Camryn.Camryn could not see, so he filled her bowl with soup and placed it in front
His mother wanted him to come home so he and Lily had a chance to cultivate a relationship.Duncan did not have a bad impression of Lily, but he did not like her either.“What’s inconvenient about that? You drive to work anyway, and no one will say anything even if you’re late since you’re the boss. T
“Josh!”After Mrs. Bucham called her son, she saw that he was pulling a young girl to hurry inside to shy away from her.Mrs. Bucham could not help but scurry forward. She caught up with them shortly and stopped in front of Josh.“Josh, you brat. Didn’t you hear me calling you?”Mrs. Bucham gave him the
Jessica’s explanation only drove fear in Oscar. “Jessica, she’s well connected. It won’t go unnoticed if we hired a few hooligans to stir trouble. Her relatives are wealthy and powerful. They’re not people we can mess with. “Did you say that her brother-in-law is the heir of the wealthiest York fami
