“Normally, he just asks me stuff about renovation and for my help to take him to buy materials. We have an ordinary relationship. How could I ask him for such a favor?”“You won’t know if he’s willing unless you try. Besides, he doesn’t have a girlfriend, so he wouldn’t be afraid of others misunderstanding.“And to the eyes of outsiders, the two of you might already be seen as a couple. Even your elder brother thought Alex was an admirer of yours when he met him last time.“We’ve even discussed whether you and Alex are suitable for each other.”Sheila reflexively replied, “Of course we’re not. He’s a York. Though our family conditions are good, compared to his family, he’s still way out of my league.“I’ve never thought about marrying into a wealthy family. Not everyone can endure the hardships and struggles of marrying up, you know.”Enid laughed and said, “What if Alex likes you and really wants to marry you? Would you still reject his feelings? We may not be as wealthy as the

Alex’s status also prevented Sheila from entertaining wild fantasies or unrealistic dreams.Knowing it was not the right time yet, as after all, even Alex himself had not dared to confess, Enid took up the thread of conversation. “You invested so much into that last relationship, only to end up with such a result. Right after the breakup, you were distraught, absent-minded, and you couldn’t eat or sleep.“You even secretly got medication for your insomnia without telling us. We were all heartbroken for you and were so worried that because of this one heartbreak, you wouldn’t dare pursue happiness again.“Sheila, you’re right. There are many heartbreakers out there, but there are also plenty of good men.“The fact that that bastard left you just means you two weren’t meant to be. He wasn’t the one for you.“You’ll find someone better than him and live a happy life. If you ever meet again someday, he’ll regret his decision when he sees how happy you are without him.”Sheila said ca

Enid immediately glared at her husband. “How am I helping Alex? Which eye of yours saw me helping Alex?”“Alright, alright, you’re not. Don’t look at me like that. Let’s hurry up and get to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow.”Their clinic opened at seven in the morning, so they had to get up at six. They would usually take a walk nearby first, then come back and have breakfast before starting their day’s work.“Even if I am helping Alex, it’s for Sheila’s own good. Alex is outstanding, and he’s worthy of Sheila.”Marvin retorted, “See? You admitted it yourself. You’re clearly favoring Alex, yet you tell me not to favor Kent.“Fine, fine, Alex is worthy of Sheila. Let’s sleep now.”Marvin did not want to keep arguing with his wife over trivial matters.Though he preferred Kent, his wife was right that Sheila and Alex did seem more compatible.At least the York family would not be a burden to Alex.The Levitt family, however, would definitely drag Kent down.Finally, the co

Grandma May simply did not want her children and grandchildren to worry.“Serenity was free to take care of the kids tonight, so I came over. I’ve been here all evening, and you took so long to get back. I had no choice but to wait.”“Nana, did you need something? You could have just called me, if so. You didn’t have to wait here so pitifully.“In the future, please rest in the bedroom. Don’t sleep on the sofa. I’ve kept a room here for you. Everything in it remains unchanged, and it’s cleaned thoroughly every day. You can stay here whenever you come by.”Each of the York brothers kept a room for their nana in their own homes. Regardless of whether she would come to stay or not, the rooms were always kept clean so she could stop by anytime.“I know, I’ll go back to the room to sleep later. Alex, be honest with me. Do you like Dr. Jones?”Alex was silent.“You bought that apartment in Westbrooke Gardens to get close to her, right?”“I knew if you found out, you’d think that. Fin

“It’s quite easy to get the green light from me. As I’ve said before, as long as the girl comes from an upright family and has good character, that’s enough.“Our family is already extremely wealthy. There’s no need for you lot to enter arranged marriages for benefits. As long as you like the person, it’s fine. I trust your judgment. The children I raised personally would never have poor taste.”Grandma May said affectionately, “Keep it up, Alex. I’m only getting older, so I’m pretty much gambling for time against the grim reaper and living day by day. My biggest wish is to see all nine of you settle down and start families.“Whatever your gramps didn’t get to see, I’ll witness it on his behalf. Then, when I go to meet him later, I can face him without shame.”Alex put his arm around his nana’s shoulders. “Nana, Gramps would definitely want you to see us all become parents on his behalf. You have nothing to be ashamed of before Gramps. It was he who let you down by leaving you and

However, Grandma May adored her great-granddaughter. Whenever she could watch the child, she would.Lil’ Pie also loved being with Grandma May, feeling that her great-nana treated her the best.“Alright, then I'll get up early tomorrow to prepare breakfast for you, and after that, I’ll take you to Zack's place."It was rare for the old lady to stay at his place, so Alex was determined to personally cook breakfast for her.The two did not chat further. After Alex saw his nana back to her room, he went upstairs.The night passed without further incident.Early the next morning, Sheila was awakened by messages from Mary.She picked up her phone and saw it was a text message, not a message via social media. She initially did not want to look, as few people usually texted her that way. Most contacted her by phone call or over social media.However, seeing there were several messages, she opened them.Only then did she realize they were from Mary.The two had not added each other’s
