After hanging up, Kent’s expression turned extremely grim.He slumped weakly into his chair and stared blankly at the night outside the window.It turned out that Alex was actually from the richest family in Wiltspoon. Regardless of his rank among the York brothers, he was still an heir, someone Kent could never hope to reach in his lifetime.Alex was truly lucky to be born into such a powerful family.No wonder Alex could casually buy a house in Westbrooke Gardens. No wonder he carried such an air of nobility. Kent had to admit it even if he did not want to praise his rival.Alex’s overall qualities far surpassed his own. That was exactly why Kent felt threatened and mocked Alex for living off his relatives.Little did he know that he himself was the joke.The luxury car Alex drove clearly belonged to him. He did not need to rely on anyone because he had more than enough money himself.After a long while, Kent snapped out of it and immediately called Sheila.Sheila had just g

Sheila laughed. “Everyone’s like that. If there are too many boys, they want a girl, and vice versa. They always want the best of both worlds.”In reality, not everything could turn out as one wished.Alex said, “Exactly. Now that my eldest brother and his wife have a daughter, my nana finally has a great-granddaughter, so she’s a bit more satisfied. Before that, whenever she saw someone else’s daughter, she wanted to take her home.”The one Grandma May most wanted to take home was Ben Young-Johnson’s only daughter.He only had one daughter, and every time Grandma May visited FC Manor, she wished she could take Chloe back home. This made Chloe’s late grandmother, Elizabeth, wary of Grandma May, guarding against her like a thief.After Elizabeth passed away, Grandma May had not visited FC Manor for a long time.In life, one would inevitably have to bid goodbye to many people.Thinking about how old his nana was, Alex could not help but worry that one day, she would leave them too

“If you go out to have fun, what about me?” Marvin couldn’t help but say, “Are you going to leave me at home alone? I haven’t seen a chrysanthemum exhibition or gone on a fall outing for years.”Marvin and Enid were always tied to the clinic, so the two of them had not traveled in a long time.Sometimes, they thought about closing the clinic and going out, but before they even got far, someone would call, asking for Dr. Marvin to treat them.So it had truly been years since they last traveled.Only during Christmas could they drive around locally, but everywhere was packed with people, and all they could see was the crowds.Instead of enjoying a vacation, they just ended up exhausted.Thus, Marvin and Enid would rather stay home and watch TV than travel during the holidays.Enid laughed. “You stay and watch the clinic this time. Next time you go, I’ll stay. We can take turns relaxing.”Marvin pouted. “No, I’m going with you. It’s been so long since we’ve gone out together. Shei

When Alex returned home, he saw two familiar cars parked in the yard. One belonged to his sister-in-law, Serenity, and the other was a bodyguard car.Serenity was here.He parked his bike and went inside with the keys.“Nana, Serenity, I’m back!”Serenity and Grandma May were chatting when Alex came in. Hearing Alex’s voice, Serenity turned toward the door and asked, “Did you deliver the fruits to Dr. Jones?”“I did. She hadn’t gotten off work yet, so I waited at her clinic until she finished.”“Didn’t Callia and Heath come along?” Alex asked about the two children as he sat down.“Nana and I won’t be going back so soon, so we didn’t bring them. Heath has preschool tomorrow. Xavier is there too. With her brothers playing with her, Callia won’t fuss.”When Callia had company, she would not look for her mother.“Your brother is off work already. With him at home watching them, there’s nothing to worry about.”Alex responded, “Oh. Looks like Xavier is basically living at your pl

“Nana, you’re not staying here tonight?”Grandma May had stayed at the manor for two nights. Alex did not want her to leave because he wanted to learn how to win a girl’s heart.“I’m not staying. I’m not needed these days, so I’ll go back and spend time with my great-granddaughter. She’s much cuter than you all.”Alex had no choice but to stand up and walk his nana and Serenity out.He knew that ever since Grandma May had a great-granddaughter, all the grandsons had been sidelined.Alex remembered that as a child, he often asked his mother why she had not given birth to him as a girl, because if he were a girl, Grandma May would surely love him the most.It left Sasha both amused and exasperated.Sasha said she had dreamed of him being a girl. Unfortunately, he was still a boy.She had four pregnancies, and all four were sons.As his mother put it, it was lucky they were filial and well-raised. Otherwise, they would have driven her mad.It was also fortunate that they were bo
