LOGIN“I see, but Grandma May looks fit and robust at her age.” Sheila added, “Apart from seniors who have worked all their lives, I hardly see an elderly person with your nana’s level of stamina.” Grandma May was in her nineties, which was pretty old among the elderly. “Exactly. Nana often traveled around years ago. Zack kept her grounded in the last few years. She’s a great-grandmother now. She doesn’t feel the need to travel around with the little ones keeping her busy.” Sheila grinned. Grandma May was a quirky old lady, and Sheila adored her. “It’s late, Sheila. I don’t want to keep you from your sleep. Have some rest. You’re working tomorrow. I took the morning off tomorrow because I’m taking Nana to get a physical examination.” Sheila answered, “Okay. Good night.” She did not give much thought to Alex’s mention of taking Grandma May for a check-up. After the call, Sheila set her phone down on the nightstand, turned off the lights, and lay down. With each interactio
Sheila had already made things clear to Kent. The matter was between them and no one else. She could not believe that right after their conversation, Kent turned around and went to Alex. Though Kent was not much of an issue to Alex, Sheila felt bad for dragging Alex into the whole thing for no reason. Alex said, “Well, don’t worry about it. I might be taking up a lot of your time with the renovation errands. Dr. Levitt ran into us when we were out shopping for materials.“It made sense that he got the wrong idea about us. He didn’t lay a finger on me. He just had some choice words to share. That’s all.“I didn’t take his comments personally. I can take a lot more than some petty remarks. “He must find me intimidating to come straight to the source. Plus, he isn’t sure of himself. “Sheila, do you honestly have no feelings for Dr. Levitt? You both make a cute pair,” Alex probed. Alex could not resist poking even when he was certain Sheila did not see Kent romantically in hi
Across 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,
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
“Has your sister ever hit you?”Austin freed a hand to adjust Louis's hat and scarf. He also tugged at Phillip, gesturing for the little boy to follow in his older cousin’s footsteps. The cold wind was howling, and he feared these two little ones might be blown away by the strong gusts. The two litt
After a moment of silence, Imogen said, “I didn’t know either. If Dylan didn’t mention anything, I wouldn’t have known about this.“I met and talked to Old Mrs. York when I visited the Yorks with my teacher. She’s a nice old lady. It was a pleasure talking to her and not stressful at all. I wouldn’
After Corey scolded Ezra, she looked toward Duncan and Liberty. She said gently, “When are you two planning to get your marriage license? Tomorrow?“The City Hall will be closed at the end of the year. It’s best to get the procedure done within these few days.”Getting their marriage license soon
