LOGINZachary said in resignation, “Nana is on a mission to get Alex a wife. She told me to take time off this morning to care for Callia. Alex is taking her to the hospital for a physical. It’s clear that she’s heading there for the doctor Alex likes. “We all know Nana’s going to get involved one way or another. Otherwise, she’d lose sleep over the whole thing.” Serenity replied, “I can take the time off and stay with Callia if you can’t get away from your work.” While the butlers and nannies were present, it felt right to have one of the parents stay behind for the child. The domestic staff was wonderful and trustworthy, but Callia was not even two yet. She was too young to be without a family member nearby. Usually, Tania and the others would step into the childcare role when Grandma May was not available. Tania and other family members were away in Solville at the moment. They would probably be back after ironing out the kinks in River and Rosalie’s wedding plans. “It’s alr
Zachary panicked. “What’s wrong, Nana? Are you unwell? There’s hardly anyone around Alex’s place. You shouldn’t keep going there. He isn’t as attentive as we are and can’t take proper care of you.” “Leave Alex out of this. Don’t put this on him. I raised all of you. I know what you’re all like. You all show your care in your own thoughtful ways.” Grandma May added, “Don’t get worked up. I’m more than fine. Alex is taking me for the check-up with Dr. Jones. She’ll run a few routine tests.” Zachary replied, “Nana… You had a full physical two months ago.” The family doctor would check Grandma May’s pulse every fortnight. Lilian would drop by every now and then to check her health. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Grandma May. Lilian made time for these frequent visits because she bonded well with Grandma May. Despite the age gap, they clicked. Plus, Wiltspoon was the perfect place for her to unwind. She could get away from her mentor’s nagging about another baby and her
“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
Camryn was in a dilemma for days. When it was time for Aunt Evelyn to leave Wiltspoon, Camryn and Dalton sent her to the airport. After that, Camryn returned to the city center. “Cam, do you want to head home or to your shop?” Dalton asked after passing the freeway.After some thought, Camryn respond
Jasmine almost spat the milk in her mouth. She laughed and said, “Stop talking until I finish the milk. Don’t blame me if I spit it all over you.“I don’t want to be fat. Even if I’m pregnant, I want to be the prettiest pregnant mom.”After giving birth, she would have to hurry up and train to recover
“I heard from my grandma that my great-grandfather was a womanizer. People in that era had multiple mistresses. Although my great-grandmother was his first wife, she suffered a lot and made sacrifices to keep her marriage and protect her children’s interests.“My grandpa and his siblings also saw how
Callum said gently, “Trenton regrets what he said too. Give him some time, Camryn. He’ll grow up and start to understand you.”Trenton’s parents and sister had gone to jail partly because of Camryn. It was normal for him to find it difficult to accept the truth. After all, he was only seventeen years
