LOGINKent 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.
“And not let his parents constantly come to the city to look for him and bother him. His siblings get it, too. He’s the biggest earner in their family, so if they allow their parents to come bother him every day, it’ll affect his earnings, and it’ll be their loss, too.”After another pause, Mary continued, “My parents are about the same, so I get it. I can handle anything that comes up.“Thank you for your concern, though.”They were all adults, after all. She would not regret her choice of man and path.Sheila replied, “As long as you’ve thought it through.”It was not like they were very close. They were only acquaintances. Sheila only brought it up out of concern for a fellow woman.If the other party was willing to listen, then great. Otherwise, Sheila would not say anything further.After a while, the dishes arrived. The two chatted as they ate.Most of the time, Mary talked about her future with Dr. Levitt.Sheila would reply from time to time, mostly to wish them well.
“He just felt so sorry toward you and Dr. Marvin.”Mary said, “Your uncle treated him like his own student and he said he learned a lot from your uncle, but now, because of his mother, he’s too ashamed to meet you and your family again.“He put himself under a lot of pressure and was even a little distracted while seeing his patients. He only got a little better after I talked to him a few times.”After all, Kent was a doctor. If he continued to stay in this distracted state, he would easily make mistakes in his work, where the slightest slip-up could lead to serious consequences.She had been working with Kent for a few years now and had learnt quite a bit, so when she was administering injections and dispensing medication, she would pay close attention to Kent’s prescriptions. If she noticed an issue, she would immediately correct it to avoid giving a patient the wrong medication.Sheila said, “Kent brought his mother over to apologize, which I’ve already accepted, and I’ve also
“They cook everything fresh to order, so we’ll have to wait a little.”Sheila said, “I understand.”Soon, the other tables at the restaurant filled up.It was evident that the food there was decent.Otherwise, it would not have such good business.Mary said to Sheila, “Luckily, we came a little earlier. Otherwise, we’d have to wait a long time before we could finally eat.“How are things with Mr. York now, Dr. Jones?” Mary asked.Sheila answered, “Alex and I are good friends. Usually, we’re busy working, but after work, if we’re free, we’ll meet up to watch a movie or go for a walk. He has lots of questions to ask me about his apartment renovation.“Sometimes, I go with him to buy materials. That’s pretty much all we normally do.”The two ladies were not good friends, so Sheila would not go into too much detail. Right now, she and Alex actually already had feelings for one another. Even if Alex did not confess, she knew Alex loved her.If he did not, he would not treat her so
Once it was time to get off work, Sheila stood up and changed out of her scrubs before picking up her bag and saying to Mary, “Ms. Hicks, let’s go for our meal.”Mary replied with a smile, “Sure.”The two used to be love rivals. Well, to be fair, it was Mary who saw Sheila as a love rival one-sidedly.Sheila had never loved Dr. Levitt, so she had never thought of Mary as a love rival.In fact, she had constantly urged him to accept the one who actually truly loved him, Mary, primarily because he actually did feel something for her. If he really felt nothing for Mary, Sheila would not have pushed him toward her, afraid they would end up a couple who resented each other.Once the two exited the hospital, Mary said, “Let’s go to a local cuisine restaurant near both our clinics. The food there is not bad and it’s all prepared fresh to order.”Sheila said, “It’s your treat, so it’s your call. As the one who’s taking advantage, I can’t say much.”“Don’t say that, Dr. Jones. What do yo
“I’ll head out to take a look.”Adrian did not let Darren enter but decided to go outside to look. He met Darren as soon as he arrived at the door. No employee in Fisher Manor could stop someone in Darren’s position. They dared not do it either.Elaine was simply informing Adrian of Darren’s arrival b
“Let Dylan be your guide and take you around Wiltspoon. There are a few scenic spots on the outskirts you can visit,” Serenity suggested.Imogen huffed. “He doesn’t even want to talk to me. It’s most important to have fun when I’m traveling and I’m not going to cling to his moody ass when he doesn’t
Darren said with a serious face, “Ms. Caroline is your daughter.”Belinda ordered coldly, “Let go, Darren. Don’t forget that I’m still the matriarch. You have to listen to me.”“My only mission has been to protect Ms. Caroline from the moment I was assigned to her. I’ll be loyal to her and follow her
Grandma May glared at Dylan and said, “Can’t I ask you for a simple request anymore?”He looked toward the other adults. They did not utter a word. It seemed like they did not mind Grandma May making decisions on her own. Under his nana’s glare, he had no choice but to sit and say, “Of course, you ca
