登入“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.
“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
Liberty paused for a moment and said, “Caroline is in a very difficult situation now. If we go back, it’ll be even more difficult for her.”Caroline was Belinda’s daughter. If she had been trained as a successor since she was a child, she would have been able to take over smoothly. However, she was s
Josh was the administrative executive to the CEO of York Corporation. He was well-known in Wiltspoon, appearing on TV more often than Julian. It was easy for the public to search for his photos and basic information on the web. Julian was a different story. He had always been elusive. Whenever Zacha
#Camryn laughed.She was aware that Zachary enjoyed being jealous, but now it seemed that Callum was also a little green-eyed monster.Carrie stood at the entrance. She was furious when she saw Callum holding Camryn’s hand. The two of them slowly walked toward her.While Carrie was in jail, Camryn fell
Darren took large strides into the hotel and looked around, finding Caroline in no time and hurrying to her side. “Mr. Fletcher.” Caroline put away her phone and stood up once she spotted him. “Why didn’t you call me if you have problems with your car? I could’ve gotten you another one,” Darren quie
