Geraint agreed. “We’re not going out anymore. It’ll only make us spend more money. Just look at how much stuff you and Kent bought for us this morning. Every time we come over, you guys buy so much stuff for us to take back.”Though a large part of it was paid for by his son, Mary had bought some as well.“Kent, since your clinic is closed today and you’re free in the afternoon, why don’t you take Mary out for a change of pace? You guys are at the clinic every day, so you probably don’t get much time to go out and let loose,” Talia suggested.Mary looked towards her boss with anticipation.She wanted to go out with Kent, even if it was just for a drive. As long as she could be with him, she would be happy.After a beat of silence, Kent replied, “I don’t know where to go, though. Mary, do you have any place in mind?”“How about the beach? I haven’t been in ages and I’d like to go, enjoy the sea air, and have some seafood. I actually quite like seafood.”One of the dishes she had

Sheila rejected, “I am having a day off in a few days, but I’ve already agreed to spend it with Grandma May.“Every time your parents come to the city, isn’t it Ms. Hicks who takes care of them and spends time with them? Kent, Ms. Hicks is truly sincere and devoted to you and your family, and you’ve even slept with her before. I hope you don’t let her down.“You say you don’t like her, but you’ve never rejected her, making her think she still has a chance. That’s evidence enough that you don’t feel nothing for her.”Kent said he loved her, and Sheila did not doubt it.However, Sheila did not believe it when he said he did not like Mary.Mary had given him so much, and he should not let her down.“Sheila, why do you keep pushing me toward Mary? I don’t— It’s not what you think between us. I was drunk that night and we didn’t do anything. Nothing happened between us.”“Kent, it’s because I don’t love you, but Mary does. So I’m pushing you toward her because that’s where your happi

Of course, Sheila had a good temperament. She was not the kind of person who made a scene.Sheila explained, “They think I come from a rich family, so they wanted me to lower myself and be accommodating to Kent. Once, his mother was hospitalized, and it just so happened that she was admitted to the hospital where I was doing my internship.“When I found out Kent’s mother was hospitalized, I went to visit her.“Kent’s mother wanted me to take care of her so that he could go to work. She said she didn’t want to tire her son out. Since I was interning at that hospital, I could look after her without it affecting my work.“At that time, Kent hadn’t confessed to me, and I had no idea he had feelings for me. I thought he only saw me as a junior.“Her request completely shocked me. I never expected something like that. Even though I was an intern, I was still working. I had so many responsibilities. How could I take care of her?“Of course, I refused. Then she said I wasn’t considerate

“Let’s go.”“Okay.”The family of three headed out happily.“Kent, look, Mary can accompany us to the seaside, but Dr. Jones doesn’t even have time to eat with us. She hasn’t even come to visit us. Mary is clearly better,” Talia said.Talia seized every opportunity to praise Mary, strongly urging her son to choose the nurse.“Mom, we agreed to give me another six months. If Sheila still doesn’t accept my feelings after that, I’ll give up.”Mary was willing to wait another six months for him.If things with Sheila did not work out after six months, he would choose Mary.“Alright, alright, we’ll talk about it in six months. I just think Mary is more suitable for our family. She’s very capable and treats us well.”Talia thought, ‘Unlike that Dr. Jones. I heard her family hires a housekeeper to cook. She probably doesn’t even know how to cook. How would she take care of Kent in the future?‘If she went back to our hometown with Kent during the holidays, how would she prepare a pr

“The York family’s property?” Kent asked in shock, “Those are properties of the Yorks?”Alex’s last name was York!If the shops on Westbrooke Street belonged to the York family, and Alex was helping his sister-in-law collect rent, then she must be the eldest daughter-in-law of the York family. This would mean Alex was indeed a son of the Yorks!Kent had heard that the Yorks had nine sons in this generation, so what was Alex’s birth order?“Boss, thank you for helping me find out all this.”“It’s not hard to find out. Just ask the shop owners on Westbrooke Street, and you’ll know who the real landlord is.“You just never looked into it, Kent. That’s why you didn’t know.”Kent had never looked into it. He only knew that the Joneses’ family clinic belonged to the Jones family. It was built on land they had purchased long ago.Buying land and building a multi-story structure in such a prime location showed that the Jones family had long been well-off.He also knew that Sheila’s pa
