Dylan said, “It's not like I don’t have to do anything. Nana told me that the most important thing for me right now is to settle down.“Compared to my career, this takes priority.“So, Nana talked to my brothers and asked them to take over the responsibilities originally assigned to me. That way, I can free up time to pursue my love and finally settle down.“Of course, I’m still making money. After all, I’ll need funds for marriage, and later, raising kids—that’s the expensive part. I’m not short on money, but I want to earn even more so my future wife won’t have to work too hard and can spend freely.“I’ll make sure my future wife has money to spend and the freedom to spend it however she wants.“York Corporation has also increased investments here in Huntington. Occasionally, I still have to check on things.“Kade, you’re older than both me and Imogen by several years—already in your thirties. Aren’t your family elders anxious for you to settle down?”Dylan turned the question

After consulting with Martin and Rosella, Zachary had agreed to arrange for a junior housekeeper to be sent over to Dylan. However, the housekeeper would likely take a couple more days to arrive.At the moment, Dylan’s home was quiet and dark, with no one inside.Imogen parked the car at the entrance of the villa, then leaned over to pat down Dylan’s pockets. Finally, she found a set of keys in his right pants pocket.She took the keys, got out, and went to unlock the gate.After opening the gate, she entered the house to turn on the lights before coming back out.Returning to the car, she drove into the courtyard and parked right by the front door to make it easier to help Dylan inside.Dylan seemed to be sleeping soundly. He had not opened his eyes or made a sound the entire trip.Kade had been the one who drank the most, yet Dylan, who barely had a few glasses, was acting completely wasted.Imogen strongly suspected he was faking it, just putting on an exceptionally convinci

“I don’t want to create a bunch of love rivals for you either. Even if they couldn’t hurt you, I’d still hate for them to envy you or harass you.“Imogen, I belong only to you, in this life and the next. Don’t you dare push me toward anyone else.”Imogen was silent.She helped him inside and sat him down on the sofa before saying, “If anything, I should be the one finding a few love rivals for you so you’ll see that I don’t have to settle for you. If I wanted to marry, I could, anytime.”Dylan immediately grabbed her hand, gazing at her earnestly. “Imogen, I love you. I’ll always love you. Even if you found a mountain of rivals for me, I wouldn’t back down.“Time tests all things. The longer we’re together, the clearer it’ll be that we’re perfect for each other.”Imogen pulled her hand back but could not resist pinching his cheek again. “You’re shameless.”“Zachary taught all us younger ones that the first rule of winning your wife over is to be thick-skinned. We have to be abso

“Which of your grandsons would be a good match for Isabella O’Connor? I heard she’s the head of the family, though not in the same way as Hayden Queen, who cross-dressed as a man and acted as the eldest son.“The O’Connor family has more daughters than sons, so the eldest daughter took over. Someone like her would suit your eldest grandson, but he's about to become a father soon.”Grandma May replied, “It's Austin, my sixth grandson. Zachary is definitely out, he’s been married for years. Plus, I’m very satisfied with Serenity as Zachary’s wife and I’ve never once thought of replacing her.“Austin is Liam’s younger son, Zachary’s brother. He’s well-matched with Isabella in every way. The granddaughters-in-law I pick are all treated like my own granddaughters.“I won’t let any of them suffer.”Grandma May believed every one of her grandsons had been raised to be outstanding and were very much worthy of the daughters of other prominent families.If her grandsons were useless, she w

Looking at Isabella, Grandma May nodded with a smile. “Of course. Let me show you around FC Manor then.”She turned to Elizabeth beside her. “Liz, I’ll take Isa out for a stroll.”Elizabeth nodded. “Then I’ll trouble you to host Ms. O'Connor for me.”Isabella stood and moved to offer Grandma May support, but the old lady waved her off. “No need, Isa. I may be old, but I’m not so frail that I can’t walk unaided.”Did she not realize this despite knowing she still traveled frequently?Isabella still steadied her with a light touch.Grandma May was pleased. No matter their status, the granddaughters-in-law she chose always had impeccable character. If their character were lacking, she would not have considered them in the first place.The group exited the main house.Isabella addressed her bodyguards. “Wait here. No need to follow me.”The four guards bowed respectfully and remained in place, watching as Isabella and Grandma May walked off together.“Spring has arrived and the
