LOGINAfter saying that, Everly hung up the phone.Those elders were always trying to play cupid ever since she became an adult, claiming they were introducing “high-quality men.” Yet whenever she sent people to investigate those supposedly outstanding men, they always uncovered heaps of scandals and shady history.Everly did not even consider a truly outstanding man like Heath, let alone the ones introduced by her uncle and aunt.After having the call ended by Everly, Maddie helplessly said to her siblings, “I already told you not to talk to Everly about these things. The moment you mention introducing her to a boyfriend, she hangs up.“She says her life decisions are hers to make and that I don’t need to worry. Even her grandfather is anxious about it, but he still can’t do anything about her.”Maddie sighed. “There’s no use worrying. This child was practically raised by her grandfather and has always been very opinionated. As her mother, I truly can’t control her.”She only had one
“Mom, did you win any money?” Everly asked casually.“No, I have bad luck at the table and always lose money.”Maddie sounded rather dejected. Whenever she played cards with her siblings, she almost always lost.Her chances of winning were very slim.Perhaps her card skills were poor, and it could be bad luck.She had money, though, and did not care about losing that little bit, especially since she was losing it to her own siblings, so it did not matter.Usually, she would even give them gifts anyway.Everly said, “Mom, you always lose money, so why keep playing?”She even suspected that those relatives were colluding to swindle her mother’s money.“I’m bored, so all I can do is play cards. You’re always so busy and don’t have time to keep your mother company. Your uncles and aunts are all retired and have time for me, so we either play cards or go shopping. But I don’t even know what to buy because our family lacks nothing.”Compared to shopping, Maddie preferred playing ca
Everly truly had no way of dealing with Kaden.“Grandpa, please stop imagining every outstanding young man you meet as your potential grandson-in-law. I’ve told you, I don’t want to get married. I’ll just do IVF and give birth to a pair of twins—a boy and a girl.“I can afford to raise them myself anyway. If I have enough energy, I could even do IVF twice and have two pairs of fraternal twins. Then you’d have four great-grandchildren. Wouldn’t that be enough?”She only wanted children, not a husband. She had no time for romance, nor any time to deal with emotional matters.Both Heath and Sonny were extremely busy, and she was equally busy.If she chose one among those cousins, how would they even develop feelings? By staying in touch over the phone?Even so, they still would not have that much time for personal calls.“Grandpa, if you bring this up again, I’m going to get angry, and I won’t come to Wiltspoon anymore.”Kaden hurriedly said, “Alright, alright, I’ll drop it. You c
Sonny said, “Alright, I’ll keep an eye out according to your requirements. If there’s anything suitable, I’ll notify you to come take a look.”“Sorry for troubling you, Mr. Brown.”“Not at all.”Sonny escorted the pair up to the top floor. Only after watching them enter their suite did he leave.Once inside, Kaden walked to the sofa and sat down silently. No one knew what he was thinking about.Everly poured a glass of water for her grandfather and placed it in his hand. She then sat beside him and tilted her head as she asked, “Grandpa, what are you thinking about?”Kaden sighed.“Everly, tell me, why can’t God be a little fairer? Look at the York family. They’re flourishing with children, and everyone is so harmonious. The brothers, uncles, and nephews all get along wonderfully, and no one fights for power or profit.“The elder ones are kind, and the younger ones are respectful. But look at our family. There are only three of us now. God is truly unfair.”After a moment of s
Whenever Heath went on business trips to other cities, he would also bring back many souvenirs for the elders when he returned. Usually, they even prepared double portions for each elder.Sonny said, “Old Mr. Flemming envies your giant family, and everyone is also very united.”Heath smiled. “That’s true. The atmosphere at home is the best. Sometimes, when I’m tired or feel wronged, I just want to go home. Once I’m home, everything feels alright again.”Home was their safe harbor.After everyone entered the house, Sonny introduced the members of the York family to the Flemmings.Whenever Liam’s family had guests over, the others would also come by to help entertain the guests.Kaden was a few years older than Tania and Liam. They quickly hit it off. After drinking tea and eating some snacks, Sonny no longer needed to accompany him, as Liam and his two brothers took Kaden around the manor instead.Everly was accompanied by Serenity and the others, though Sonny still stayed with t
“Uncle Zack, Aunt Seren.”After getting out of the car, Sonny greeted them with a smile. Then, together with Heath, he went to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out quite a number of gift boxes.Serenity and Zachary greeted Kaden first. Then, Serenity spoke to Sonny. “You bought so many things again. My house lacks nothing. We already have piles of supplements we can’t even finish eating, yet you all still keep buying more for us.”After the children grew up, whenever they returned home during holidays, they would buy supplements for the elders in the family. Sonny was no exception. Every time he visited, he brought bags upon bags of gifts.Heath said, “I already told Sonny about it, but both Sonny and Everly insisted on making a pitstop to buy all these supplements. Everly said that since we were coming over to disturb you today, we couldn’t possibly come empty-handed.”Serenity said, “Everly, you’re being too polite.”“It’s just a small token of appreciation. I ho
Serenity asked Zachary, “Callum took a day off, and Josh might not return to the office today.”Zachary laughed. “I can have the secretary postpone the meeting. Let’s go. I’ll send you to your store. As for your car, I’ll ask Harry to drive it there straight away.”Serenity did not turn him down.“I’ll
“You’re the first and only person who moved me.” Remy was serious. He looked at Elisa with affection. He was growing fonder of her. “Remy, I never questioned your feelings for me. I just think that it’s too sudden and that I need some time to think about it.” Remy was understanding. He responded, “I
Elisa had no clue that her family was worried about her being taken away by Remy. After she and Remy left the villa, they walked slowly along the concrete road. Usually, Elisa would enter and exit the villa in a car. She had never admired the scenery around the villa properly before. “After living h
“Your sister…” Mrs. Stone felt that Liberty was always having a rough time in relationships. She bit her tongue mid-sentence.“Mr. Lewis still doesn’t want to meet Liberty?” Mrs. Stone asked concernedly.“He didn’t want to meet Zachary and I when we went to visit him. Zachary texted him, but Duncan di
