LOGINAcross Wiltspoon’s higher society, very few successful men could rise to the York boys’ level. Most upper-crust gentlemen were consumed by their careers. They would get a pat on the back for finding time in their busy schedule to show a bit of care to their children. Many struggled to recall their children’s age, grade, or school.Even among ordinary families, most fathers firmly believed that raising children was solely a woman’s responsibility. Hank was no different. His child was something he paid attention to only when he felt like it. Otherwise, he simply ignored his son.Hank had never bothered with Sonny before. A lot had happened since the divorce, and that was when he began to slip into the role of a father. He worked hard to regain Sonny’s affection, and they were finally in a decent place. “The nannies and housekeeper can keep watch of Callia. Zack doesn’t have to take time off.” Grandma May uttered, “It’s a break for him. He can unwind. He can take Callia to Serenit
“Sheila is aware of the situation. She has rejected Dr. Levitt. Plus, she knows that he’s involved with his nurse. I doubt she’d choose him. “It’s over for Dr. Levitt. He’ll never have Sheila unless he uses force. “Sheila is mine. If he ever disrespects her, I’ll make him pay.” The way Alex saw it, Kent was the rational type. He wouldn’t hurt Sheila, knowing that it could sabotage his future. Alex had been keeping a close eye on everything. If Kent ever pulled one on Sheila, Alex could rush to the scene and rescue the damsel in distress. Alex’s statement was all the assurance Grandma May needed. She said, “Phew. For a moment there, I thought I was going to lose my precious granddaughter-in-law.” He looked at Grandma May and replied, “Nana, can you have a little more faith in me? You really think I’d let the girl I have my heart set on slip through my fingers? It’s my happiness on the line here.” The York boys were insanely devoted. Once they fell in love, they were in i
Alex said, “I always have time for my nana, especially for a check-up. Zack and the others shouldn’t have a problem with that. “Serenity has her hands full, working, running the estate, and taking care of the kids. No need to trouble her. I’ll go with you, Nana.” Grandma May said, “Alright then. Since you have time, I’ll take you up on that. I’ll leave Serenity out of it. She’s pretty swamped with everything going on.” The title of the lady of the manor came with a lot of responsibilities. Not to mention, Serenity had her own career, too. If not to be there for the kids as they grew up, Serenity would be out working from dawn to dusk. “I’ll get an appointment for you with Sheila now.” “Don’t bother. I already have one. I’d never get a good time slot if I waited for her. Sheila’s morning appointments are all booked. There are only a few slots left in the afternoon. “I can’t see her in the afternoon for a physical examination. I don’t want to fast that long.” Grandma May
Kent said in annoyance, “Mom, I told you. I gave myself until the end of the year to date Sheila. If things don’t work out, I’ll go by your proposal and be with Mary.”Before Talia Levitt could say anything more, the frustration on Kent’s face shut her down. Talia planned to have a talk with Sheila tomorrow. Surely, Sheila had no reason not to take a shine to Kent, who was a catch in Talia’s eyes. A contrast to Kent’s foul mood, Alex was on cloud nine. He came home, humming to a tune. Judging by the lit living room at home, Alex figured that Grandma May had dropped by again. He parked his electric bike right outside the house and walked inside with the key in hand. Since his domestic help clocked out at ten o’clock at night, no one was out to greet him. Not the stuck-up kind, Alex didn’t need the staff waiting on him hand and foot. Sure enough, Alex came across Grandma May nodding off on the sofa inside. Alex approached her in resignation and cried softly, “Nana. Nana,
“There’s no need to be too anxious. Booking an appointment for the morning after tomorrow is just the same.”Mrs. Levitt responded, “Oh, I see. If you married Dr. Jones, she could easily get me an appointment at any time. Son, if you can’t let her go, then you should try harder. Having connections in the hospital makes it easier when you’re trying to get medical treatment in a big city.“You could try to make it a fait accompli with her first and get her pregnant. Once she’s carrying your child, she’ll have to marry you.” Mrs. Levitt suggested it to her son.Kent’s face fell as he said, “Mom, Sheila has never even gone out with me alone. How am I supposed to do that?“She works every day, and on her days off, she helps out at her family’s clinic. She doesn’t go anywhere else. I simply don’t have that kind of opportunity.”He could not possibly force himself on Sheila, could he?If he dared to force himself on Sheila, he would be done for. The Jones family would never let him off.
Kent’s success had allowed them to speak with more confidence in their hometown. They could not let him stay single his whole life.If Kent really managed to marry that junior of his, his parents would naturally be happy. Having a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, who was also a doctor, would give them even more bragging rights back in their hometown.However, if their son could not marry her, then Mary would be the obvious choice. Though she was not a doctor, she was a nurse and understood medical principles.Moreover, Mary was very caring and capable at work, who was much better than that Dr. Jones they had secretly gone to see.That Dr. Jones seemed like a delicate young lady who had never done a day of hard work. Marrying a woman like that would be fine for city life, but if they returned to their hometown, she probably would not be able to handle farm work.It was only because they coveted the Jones family’s status that they had eagerly hoped their son could marry Dr. Jo
Liberty listened to Lily’s words and suspected that Duncan used the contract with Lily as leverage to make Lily come to her and put in a good word for him.Lily seemed to have read Liberty’s thoughts and smiled. “Duncan didn’t ask me to come here to persuade you. I just found out that Duncan kept get
Chelsea smiled awkwardly. After glancing at Sonny, she said, “After all, Sonny needs a father.”“Doesn’t he have a father now? No matter how my relationship with Hank turns out, Hank is still Sonny’s father. This is a fact.”“No, no. I didn’t mean that. I think Sonny will only be happy if he grows up
Josh said, “Don’t you have a business dinner tonight?”He changed the topic. It was to prevent Zachary from talking about the flowers again. Zachary made it look as if Josh had never received flowers. “I’m going to pick my wife up. She’s accompanying me tonight.”Josh hummed in acknowledgment. “I’m go
