LOGINJeanne’s eyes instantly lit up, and she asked, “Who?”“Ms. Callia.” Jeanne went speechless for a second. “Callia is our cousin. Of course, he stays in close touch with her. I’m asking if Sonny has a romantic interest! You’re his personal secretary, and you’re always with him, so you must know something.”“In that case, no, there really isn’t anyone. Mr. Brown doesn’t closely associate with any young women outside of work. In fact, ninety-nine percent of the female executives we do business with are much older than he is, usually by ten to twenty years, and some are even grandmothers.”Jeanne looked disappointed. “Are there really no younger ones? Don’t those business moguls have daughters, younger sisters, or granddaughters?”“Well, they do bring their daughters or granddaughters along to networking events sometimes to show them the ropes, but none of them have much personal contact with the boss.”Joseph smiled at Jeanne and added, “Ms. Jeanne, if Mr. Brown ever falls in love,
Jeanne knew there was gossip. She immediately stood up, slid over to sit right next to Sonny, and asked with intense curiosity, “Wait, Sonny, who wouldn’t be interested in you? Do you actually have a crush on someone? And she doesn't feel the same for you?”Good grief, who was this incredible woman who could actually resist her classy, handsome, generous, and utterly competent older brother?“No, I don’t have a crush on anyone.” “Oh, you definitely do! You definitely thought of someone just now, which is why you said there’s at least one person who wouldn’t be interested. Who is she? Tell me, Sonny. I promise I’ll keep your secret. I can even help you win her over! I’ll become her friend, get close to her, and then act as your ultimate wingwoman!”Jeanne nudged him, trying to coax the name out of him. She was dying to know who this mystery girl was. She deeply admired whoever had that kind of willpower.Sonny flicked Jeanne's forehead lightly, completely amused. “Do you really
“Uncle Zack is truly devoted to Aunt Seren. They’ve been married for decades, but they're as in love as if they were still in their first relationship—no, they’re more in love than most people's first relationships.”Sonny replied, “Well, Mom and Dunc have a great relationship too, you know.”“Oh, absolutely. My parents are incredibly devoted to each other, and Dad spoils Mom more than anyone. That's why when I eventually marry, I want to find a man just like him.”Jeanne was well aware that her future husband would have to marry into her family rather than her marrying into his. In fact, her parents had started scouting the local areas and neighboring cities for eligible young bachelors. They specifically looked for families with multiple sons, knowing that parents with an only one child would rarely agree to let their son marry into another family.Of course, the candidates could not be slackers either; spoiled trust-fund brats were strictly out of the question. While they di
Sonny said with a smile, “Never. I always have time for you.” He motioned for Jeanne to sit on the sofa. “Coffee or tea?” After much thought, Jeanne replied, “I’ll just have a glass of water. I want to go to bed early tonight, so no caffeine for me.” “Alright.’ Sonny poured Jeanne a drink and grabbed some of her favorite snacks. Making herself at home, Jeanne took the snacks and ripped open the wrapper to munch on. “Are you heading to Aunt Seren’s place for dinner?” Sonny asked while taking a seat across from her. “Since I’m here, Aunt Seren is going to be upset if I don’t have dinner with her. I’ll give her a call in a bit, but I can only do dinner. I’m heading back to Jensburg first thing in the morning.” “Look at you, busier than I am.” Sonny took out his phone. “I’ll let Aunt Seren know now.” He dialed Serenity’s number. Once the call connected, he said, “Aunt Seren, Jiggy was in Gallinger for business and stopped by Wiltspoon. She’s going to yours for dinner
Ever since her release, Jessica would always think about her unborn child whenever she saw a young person. If she had not suffered a miscarriage, she would never have hit rock bottom and made one mistake after another. She would not have served more than ten years in jail. For all she knew, she could have been released earlier and still be young enough to bond with the child. She would not have to rely on her stepson for her retirement. Thankfully, Sonny was a child of reason. Had he been cold, vindictive, and unreasonable, he would not have just thrown her to the streets, but he might even have had her killed. That was life. It was also her karma. Back then, Jessica flirted with Hank even though he had a family. She ruined someone else’s marriage, only for her own to later fall apart. She worked hard to get an early release from prison for good behavior. Otherwise, Jessica would still be behind bars. Hank clung to their past affection and waited for her to get out of pri
Jessica said, “Sonny wired another hundred thousand dollars?” She accepted the transfer of fifty thousand dollars on behalf of Hank. “He sent the money to my bank account. The fifty thousand dollars on Apple Cash is just to make things convenient for us when we’re out and about.” Hank kept funds on Apple Cash for daily expenses. “We have beaches here in Wiltspoon. It’s a bit of a drive from our place, but the cost won’t be as high if we keep it local. I don’t need new clothes. I have plenty to wear. I haven’t gone through all the hand-me-downs from Sonny’s aunt. “Her clothes are good quality and high-end brands. We can never buy those kinds of clothes on our budget.” Serenity was going to get rid of her old clothes. When Hank found out, he plucked up the courage to call Serenity and ask for the clothes on behalf of Jessica. Even if the clothes were hand-me-downs, the items Serenity discarded were mostly new. Her clothes were fine, so Jessica was not one to refuse. In J
After half an hour, Liberty and Duncan finally arrived at the hotel. They bumped into Zachary and Kevin, who had also just returned.“You’re here, Duncan.”Zachary walked toward them. “Hi, Liberty.”Kevin walked over as well. “I told Zachary that you’d be here in no time. Being apart from your girlfrie
Caroline sighed internally once again. She would not ruminate about the past, and neither could she bring herself to. Mr. Foster was still alive, but he had returned to seek revenge for his master, and in doing so, he made Belinda fully realize that she would never receive his love in this lifetim
Before Rowan took Sonny away, he did not forget to inform Serenity about it. He even told Quinn, “Sonny and I are going to play, Quinn.”Serenity nodded with a smile. She told Quinn, “Let’s go over too.”Although she could not enjoy the facilities at the playground, she could watch them play. Quinn wa
Isabella said, “If Louis wants to climb up to the roof to take off its tiles, my mom would even go as far as to give him a ladder to climb up there. You don’t know the situation, so I don’t blame you, but when we get back, I’ll have a good talk with my mom.”Louis and his brother exchanged glances, w
