Mag-log inMicah replied, “Great-Nana is doing well, and Lil’ Pie is doing great too. She’s getting smarter every day. She can say a lot of words now.”Trenton smiled. “Of course. She’s growing.”Kids always changed so much in such a short time.The uncle and nephew chatted nonstop along the way.Occasionally, Alex chimed in with a sentence or two, but since he was driving, he could not get too distracted.As they were about to reach the Newmans’ residence, Micah suddenly said to Trenton, “Uncle Trent, I’m going to have another aunt soon.”Trenton replied, “Oh, you’re getting another aunt? Is it your Aunt Rosalie? Your Uncle River just got married.”After processing what his nephew meant, he turned to look at Alex and asked with a grin, “Alex, you’ve got a girlfriend already? Since when? I didn’t even hear that you were dating. Don’t tell me you’re pulling a flash marriage like Zachary and Serenity?”“I do have feelings for someone. I just haven’t won her over yet, but she won’t escape me
“Thank you, Uncle Alex! You’re my favorite!”Micah thanked him happily.Trenton immediately sounded a little jealous. “Merry, didn’t you say I’m your favorite uncle? How is it your Uncle Alex now?”“I love all of you, but I love Mom and Dad the most, and Grandpa, Gramma, and all my uncles too.”Trenton laughed. “Wow, you really spread the love around equally, don’t you?”He picked Micah up into his arms, then said to Alex, “I just got back from a business trip. I’m exhausted and don’t feel like driving, so you drive. I’ll keep Merry company.”Alex replied, “I wasn’t counting on you to drive anyway.”A few minutes later, Alex drove off from the preschool with the uncle and nephew in the car.“How did things go?” Alex asked.Trenton leaned back against the seat and replied, “It was resolved smoothly. Still, it was exhausting. Running a business is really hard. I’m nowhere near as capable as Camryn.”“Take it slow. You’re doing well—better than a lot of second-gen heirs. Most of
“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.
Mrs. Lewis was silent on the other end of the line for a while before she asked, “Liberty is now awake and out of danger. When are you coming back? You must be tired after keeping watch the whole night in the hospital. Come home and rest.” “Mom, I’m not tired. I can still hold on, so you don’t have
Zachary hummed and said, “Don’t order takeout for lunch. I’ll send food over to your side. Let’s eat together.”Serenity was alone in the store, and Zachary could not bear to let his beloved wife eat takeout. He had already ordered food from Wiltspoon Hotel and a bodyguard picked it up. Then, he woul
After Zachary talked to Duncan, Duncan did not dare visit Liberty on a daily basis. He only visited her twice that week. The first time was the night he had a heart-to-heart talk with Zachary. The second time was that day itself. “Mr. Lewis, Ms. Harmon.”Liberty got up in a hurry when she saw them en
Liberty was still weak and soon fell asleep again.Even Sonny fell asleep in Serenity’s arms.Serenity placed her nephew on the sofa bed and covered him with a thin blanket. When she saw that her sister’s IV fluid was almost finished, she rang the bell to notify the nurse to come and change the IV.Aft
