LOGINThe family of three enjoyed a lovely chat on the living room sofa. Two plates of sliced fruit and biscuits were thoughtfully placed on the coffee table by Mary. Mary was doing the dishes in the kitchen. She bought groceries and cooked up a storm. Aware of Talia’s high blood sugar, Mary took extra care in preparing food suitable for her diet. Mary’s level of commitment and care impressed Talia. “Kent, look at Mary. She’s cleaning up after getting the groceries and cooking. You won’t find girls of her caliber anywhere anymore. “She’s thoughtful and perceptive. She always makes sure I can enjoy tasty and diabetic-friendly food whenever I visit. “I’ve been thinking. I believe Mary is a better fit for you and our family.” Geraint said, “I’m with your mother on this. Yes, Dr. Jones comes from a good family, but she is not interested in you. Even if you somehow manage to marry her, she will never respect us. “She might think little of us since we are from the countryside. “
“The Yorks are old money. They have class and history,” Marvin said. “You still have time for a half-hour nap.” Sheila was lucky to catch a breather in between her busy schedule. Without a nap, Sheila would have to survive on coffee to last the day. Marvin believed Sheila would reduce her caffeine intake and get some shut-eye. “Uncle Marvin, I’m heading up to rest now. Alex is picking me up later. I left my e-bike at work, so he’s driving me over later.” Marvin uttered with a smile, “Relax, he’s not going to leave without you.” Alex was certainly more attentive than Kent. Between the two rivals, Marvin would put his money on Alex. Sheila had turned Kent down multiple times, and Marvin could pick up that Kent was getting cold feet. Kent did not make any effort other than waiting at the clinic since Sheila rejected him. It never occurred to Kent to pick Sheila up from work or take her out for a meal. Sure, Sheila was bound to decline his invitations, but that was to b
“Sounds good.” Serenity walked the family out of the hotel before getting back inside and up to the presidential suite, where Zachary usually took his breaks. Zachary drove Grandma May and Callia back home. Grandma May and Callia were quick to fall asleep during the car ride. Holding Callia in her arms, Grandma May sank her back against her car seat. Callia had a good snuggle with Grandma May in slumberland. Zachary tried to strike up a conversation with Grandma May. When he did not get any response, he noticed through the rear-view mirror that the pair was out cold. “They must have been exhausted to pass out the moment they got into the car.” Zahcary was envious of how quickly the pair dozed off. He was not the type to drift off in bed effortlessly. Every night, he would lie in bed, mulling over work before hitting the sack. Sometimes, his mind could not switch off, and he would end up awake all night. Alex dropped Sheila off at her family clinic and said, “Take a
Only then did Callia give Alex a big smile. Out of all her uncles, Callia’s favorite was Rowan. She had the best fun with Rowan, who always took her out. Everyone took a seat in the private lounge, and the meal service began. It went without saying that Zachary and Serenity had ordered ahead of time. Sheila was pretty reserved at first, but it did not take her long to ditch her inhibitions. She did not feel like a stranger in the company of the Yorks. They made her feel like family. Lunch was wonderful, and Sheila was stuffed. It was not just about the good food, but the whole vibe in the room. She could not get enough of the snug feeling all around. Serenity removed Callia’s disguise in the private lounge, giving Sheila a clear look at the little girl’s face. Sheila could not stop gushing over how beautiful Callia was. Sheila could see why the Yorks absolutely adored the child. She must admit that her family would spoil Callia rotten, too. It was impossible not
It would be a stretch to call those run-ins coincidences. Alex planned every single one of them. “Mrs. York,” Sheila said. Serenity replied, “No need for the formalities, Dr. Jones. Just call me Serenity. I’m just a few years older than you.” “Serenity.” Not one to put on airs, Sheila went along with Serenity’s suggestion. Sheila met Serenity in Alex’s ward before. “It’s been a while. You’re looking more radiant than ever,” Sheila complimented from the bottom of her heart. Despite being a mother of two children, Serenity took great care of herself. She looked to be around Sheila’s age, not older. “You’re gorgeous as well.” Serenity looked sharp and smart in business attire. She had grown to be more mature and grounded with a touch of poise than a few years back. Her years of experience in business changed her. Unlike when she ran a bookshop, she now handled big-time contracts. Sheila turned to Callia. “This must be your daughter.” “Yes. This is my daughter, Call
“When are you planning to take your trip in the fall, Alex?” Grandma May asked. Alex replied, “I can clear my schedule whenever. It might be tough for Sheila since her time off is only a single day.” She had to work shifts on rotation even for Christmas and New Year’s. “Two days off should be enough for the trip. You can take the family’s private chopper. It makes travel swift and convenient.” Sheila uttered, “There’s no need for all that trouble, Grandma May. I don’t get a lot of time for trips. “I’ll keep my vacation on a road trip in the county.” As a compromise, Grandma May said, “Alright then. Alex will take you on a drive the next time you get leave from work. We can travel across the county. Nothing beats the sights near home.“I can go on the trip. Zack is not going to stop me from staying local.” Since Grandma May would be joining the trip, Sheila considered the offer for a moment before uttering, “We’ll talk more when the time comes.” “Great. We’ll give you t

Hunter was momentarily speechless. He did not have much money. When Belinda was alive, he never had more than five hundred dollars on him. After his children grew up, he secretly asked them for money. During that time, he had money to spend freely, living a lavish life outside.However, all that
