LOGINDuncan laughed, “You’re willing to accept that you’re getting old, but I’m not. I still feel young, as if we just got married.”“Right, we just got married. Jiggy’s already in her twenties, and we ‘just got married’. Everyone gets old, whether or not they’re willing to accept it.“I’m just willing to face reality. It’s not like I can actually become younger by saying I’m still young, so why lie to myself?”Duncan chuckled as he drove, “Alright, alright, let’s face reality. We’re all old now. Once Sonny gets married and has kids, we can retire and just play with the grandkids at home.”“He’s not getting married. Every time I nag him, he says he’s busy and that he will eventually get married, but when I ask him to go on blind dates, he refuses to. Serenity’s helping to keep an eye out for him too, but what good is it if he won’t even meet them?”“We’re not the ones getting married, so there’s no point in us liking the girl. He has to be the one who likes her. And he’s not the type t
Both Liberty and Duncan were equally busy. However, Duncan would get home earlier than Liberty and make sure everything was ready for her when she got back. At least, Liberty would relax without worrying about a thing at home. Usually, Duncan would be the one to take care of the minor things concerning the Fishers. Among generations of matriarchs, Duncan was widely regarded as the best husband any of them had ever had.Not only was Duncan capable, but he was gracious and commanded respect. Duncan did come from a good family, but he made it out on his own as well. He was quite a rebel in his youth. “Come on.” Liberty was not one to decline. Both of them stepped out of the house. “Should we ask Jiggy along? She should be back soon.” While walking, Liberty asked.Duncan said, “No. It will be just us.“Oh, the devoted girl dad has finally come around.” “Jiggy needs her own space and friends now that she’s older. She can’t just stick around us.” Duncan added, “No on
“Sonny, I’ll get out of your hair now. Come back when you have time, but let me know in advance, so I can set you up on a date with the girl. Trust me. She’s a nice girl.” “Got it, Mom. Just go and spend time with Dunc now. It’s been a while since you’ve been on a date with him. It’s time to experience what couples do."“Perfect time to stroll downtown. The area comes alive after dark.” Back in Havenmill, Sonny and Laurence would ditch the suits if they got out of work early to check out the boardwalk. It had a bustling vibe. “I think you’re talking about the food trucks there. Alright. I’ll check out the place with Duncan. I’m not eating anything though. No snacking after dark.” Duncan said, “What’s wrong with snacking at night? You have not gained any weight since you moved to Jensburg. Enjoy the food and don’t worry about your weight.” Her hectic workload put her under constant pressure. In the beginning, Liberty often lost sleep. Under that kind of stress, she was lu
The work was never-ending. Liberty vented. Despite this, she still handled the workload with dedication every day. Liberty was very responsible compared to the previous head of the Fishers. Although she also held tightly to the great power, she was much better to the family members. She gave every talented young member of the family a chance, never worrying that they would develop ambitions of taking her place.Liberty had the power and means to put them in their place. In fact, most family members did not have big ambitions. Given a chance, they would fulfill their roles. All they sought was stability. They would not look for trouble so long as they could make a decent living. Liberty took on the responsibility of a leader without connections or support. Yet, she handled everything with unwavering confidence.Jeanne, on the other hand, grew up in the family. The family knew what she was made of. When it came time for Jeanne to take over, she would have an easier time
Hank quickly spotted Luke, Olivia, and Sonny. The family of four chatted with the residents for a while before heading home. Back home, Sonny did not sit around for long. He told Hank, “I've got to go, Dad. I don’t have any plans or work tonight, so I’m getting some early rest.” It was nine at night. Usually, this time was still very early for him, but without any social obligations, he wanted to turn in early. The Browns were reluctant to see him go but knew better than to ask him to stay. Olivia held his hand, urging him to visit more often when he had the time. “Jessica, pack some fruit for Sonny to bring home.” Olivia recalled that Jessica bought some fresh fruit from the supermarket, so she told her to pack some up for Sonny. “I’m good, Grandmom. I’m stocked up at home.” Sonny declined Olivia’s kind gesture. “It’s okay, Jessica. Keep the fruit for yourselves.” He knew that Jessica would splurge on the pricier, better-quality fruit when he came around. Under norma
“I’ve bought a lot of fruit during my grocery run, so there’s no need to get more. Sonny barely eats any,” Jessica said. “The four of us can’t finish that much anyway.”Only Luke and Olivia would look for something to munch on while watching TV. “Alright. I’ll get going then.” “Go on.” Hank turned to head to the elevator as Jessica stepped back into the apartment. With the door closing behind her, her tense nerves relaxed. Finally, she could be alone for a while. She went to the kitchen to do the dishes and tidy up before sitting on the living room sofa. She turned on the television to watch the news. Normally, she would not get much of a chance to relax on the sofa. Luke and Olivia would be there, occupying the seat and the television. Not wanting to share the same room with them, Jessica would either be in the kitchen or the bedroom. The only exception was when Hank was around. Jessica’s favorite thing to do was grocery shopping because she did not have to take Oli

When Remy and Elisa could no longer see Andrew’s car, they prepared to return to the hotel. However, Mrs. Stone walked out of the hotel. “Mrs. Stone,” Remy greeted. Mrs. Stone nodded as a form of acknowledgment. Then, she said to Elisa, “Elisa, can you accompany me to the night market? I haven’t wal
Serenity watched Duncan walk out of the ward.After that, she turned her eyes to her husband. Zachary looked very calm as though Duncan’s reaction was within his expectation.Zachary saw Duncan off.“Seren, your store must be busy. You should return to your store.”“Liberty, let me accompany you.”“I don
Knowing that Hugh had come for the drama, Hayden sighed and unlocked the door. Hugh opened the office door and said, “Where’s Kevin? I heard he dressed up as a woman. Did he come to our office?”Hugh looked interested. He had rushed over as soon as he heard the news just so he could catch a glimpse o
