LOGIN“The York family’s property?” Kent asked in shock, “Those are properties of the Yorks?”Alex’s last name was York!If the shops on Westbrooke Street belonged to the York family, and Alex was helping his sister-in-law collect rent, then she must be the eldest daughter-in-law of the York family. This would mean Alex was indeed a son of the Yorks!Kent had heard that the Yorks had nine sons in this generation, so what was Alex’s birth order?“Boss, thank you for helping me find out all this.”“It’s not hard to find out. Just ask the shop owners on Westbrooke Street, and you’ll know who the real landlord is.“You just never looked into it, Kent. That’s why you didn’t know.”Kent had never looked into it. He only knew that the Joneses’ family clinic belonged to the Jones family. It was built on land they had purchased long ago.Buying land and building a multi-story structure in such a prime location showed that the Jones family had long been well-off.He also knew that Sheila’s pa
“Alright, thank you. You’ve really thought everything through.”Kent had not even thought of booking a hotel in advance. He had planned to look for one after they got tired.Mary was much more thoughtful.His parents were right. When he was with Mary, she handled everything carefully. He did not need to worry about anything, and she treated his parents even better than her own.Sheila did not love him. She never took the initiative to visit his parents, nor did she care for them, accompany them, or take them out.She also did not show the same care, concern, or tolerance that Mary did.Sheila simply did not love him. In her eyes, he was just one of many seniors, nothing special. So she would never behave like Mary.Perhaps this was the difference between loving and not loving someone.Mary loved him wholeheartedly. She accepted everything about him, cared for him, and treated his parents exceptionally well.Kent silently made a decision.When he thought about their family bac
“Let’s go.”“Okay.”The family of three headed out happily.“Kent, look, Mary can accompany us to the seaside, but Dr. Jones doesn’t even have time to eat with us. She hasn’t even come to visit us. Mary is clearly better,” Talia said.Talia seized every opportunity to praise Mary, strongly urging her son to choose the nurse.“Mom, we agreed to give me another six months. If Sheila still doesn’t accept my feelings after that, I’ll give up.”Mary was willing to wait another six months for him.If things with Sheila did not work out after six months, he would choose Mary.“Alright, alright, we’ll talk about it in six months. I just think Mary is more suitable for our family. She’s very capable and treats us well.”Talia thought, ‘Unlike that Dr. Jones. I heard her family hires a housekeeper to cook. She probably doesn’t even know how to cook. How would she take care of Kent in the future?‘If she went back to our hometown with Kent during the holidays, how would she prepare a pr
After a brief pause, Sheila continued, “I think his parents are not satisfied with me, mainly because they have Ms. Hicks as a comparison.“I know Ms. Hicks often goes to Kent’s house to cook and clean. Whenever his parents come into the city, she’s the one hosting them, buying groceries, cooking meals, and accompanying them to the hospital with him.“She also takes them out and buys them many gifts. She does everything so well that his parents are very pleased with her.“I’ve repeatedly rejected Kent, so I believe he’ll eventually give up on me, especially since his parents will interfere.”Kent’s parents clearly favored Mary more.Sheila’s analysis was right, as Kent’s parents were already persuading their son to accept Mary and give up on Sheila.In their eyes, no matter how rich Sheila was, she was too busy with work and had no time to take care of the family or their son.When they visited the city, she did not have time to accompany them, let alone prepare three meals a da
Of course, Sheila had a good temperament. She was not the kind of person who made a scene.Sheila explained, “They think I come from a rich family, so they wanted me to lower myself and be accommodating to Kent. Once, his mother was hospitalized, and it just so happened that she was admitted to the hospital where I was doing my internship.“When I found out Kent’s mother was hospitalized, I went to visit her.“Kent’s mother wanted me to take care of her so that he could go to work. She said she didn’t want to tire her son out. Since I was interning at that hospital, I could look after her without it affecting my work.“At that time, Kent hadn’t confessed to me, and I had no idea he had feelings for me. I thought he only saw me as a junior.“Her request completely shocked me. I never expected something like that. Even though I was an intern, I was still working. I had so many responsibilities. How could I take care of her?“Of course, I refused. Then she said I wasn’t considerate
Sheila said in surprise, “You actually could tell my smile was very forced when I came downstairs while you were chatting with Uncle Marvin earlier?“You have great eyesight, Alex.“Yeah, I’m a little disgruntled. It’s Kent again. He called me and told me his parents were in town and wanted to know when I’d be free to spend some time with him and his parents.“Every time his parents visit, Ms. Hicks takes care of them and spends time with them. She’s really good to him and his family.“But he plays hard to get with her. He doesn’t reject her thoroughly and lets her think there’s still hope. While pursuing me, he enjoys the meticulous care and attention Ms. Hicks lavishes on him.”Sheila added honestly, “If he weren’t my senior from school, I wouldn’t even pick up his calls.“Actually, he definitely feels something for Ms. Hicks. It’s just that my family background suits him better and can bring him more benefits. That’s the only reason he’s so reluctant to give up.“If we’re rea
Nevertheless, that was Zachary’s business. Duncan would not interfere in Zachary’s affairs as he was only Zachary’s best friend. “I see.” Duncan took a fleeting glance at the items in the shopping cart. Zachary’s wife did not take the visit to Zachary’s home lightly since she bought a lot of good st
Serenity hung up the video call.Zachary muttered, “She won’t even let me see Sonny.”If he had known, he would have kept teasing Sonny. That way, he could let Serenity hear his voice.Liberty looked at her sister but remained silent. She did not ask a single question since she brought her sister home.
Zachary casually raised the question as he pulled Serenity’s hand over to play with after he finished eating.The last time he met Clive, he even mentioned how Clive had not had a child despite several years of marriage. Now, Alice suddenly got pregnant.He wondered when his Seren would get pregnant t
Serenity helped her sister close up before getting into the car with her.“I asked Aunt Audrey for help and she was very happy to help. Oh, right! I have some good news. Alice is pregnant.”Alice had gone for a medical check-up and found that her discomfort as of late was due to pregnancy.She had been
