Hank quickly spotted Luke, Olivia, and Sonny. The family of four chatted with the residents for a while before heading home. Back home, Sonny did not sit around for long. He told Hank, “I've got to go, Dad. I don’t have any plans or work tonight, so I’m getting some early rest.” It was nine at night. Usually, this time was still very early for him, but without any social obligations, he wanted to turn in early. The Browns were reluctant to see him go but knew better than to ask him to stay. Olivia held his hand, urging him to visit more often when he had the time. “Jessica, pack some fruit for Sonny to bring home.” Olivia recalled that Jessica bought some fresh fruit from the supermarket, so she told her to pack some up for Sonny. “I’m good, Grandmom. I’m stocked up at home.” Sonny declined Olivia’s kind gesture. “It’s okay, Jessica. Keep the fruit for yourselves.” He knew that Jessica would splurge on the pricier, better-quality fruit when he came around. Under norma

“Sonny, I’ll get out of your hair now. Come back when you have time, but let me know in advance, so I can set you up on a date with the girl. Trust me. She’s a nice girl.” “Got it, Mom. Just go and spend time with Dunc now. It’s been a while since you’ve been on a date with him. It’s time to experience what couples do."“Perfect time to stroll downtown. The area comes alive after dark.” Back in Havenmill, Sonny and Laurence would ditch the suits if they got out of work early to check out the boardwalk. It had a bustling vibe. “I think you’re talking about the food trucks there. Alright. I’ll check out the place with Duncan. I’m not eating anything though. No snacking after dark.” Duncan said, “What’s wrong with snacking at night? You have not gained any weight since you moved to Jensburg. Enjoy the food and don’t worry about your weight.” Her hectic workload put her under constant pressure. In the beginning, Liberty often lost sleep. Under that kind of stress, she was lu

Duncan laughed, “You’re willing to accept that you’re getting old, but I’m not. I still feel young, as if we just got married.”“Right, we just got married. Jiggy’s already in her twenties, and we ‘just got married’. Everyone gets old, whether or not they’re willing to accept it.“I’m just willing to face reality. It’s not like I can actually become younger by saying I’m still young, so why lie to myself?”Duncan chuckled as he drove, “Alright, alright, let’s face reality. We’re all old now. Once Sonny gets married and has kids, we can retire and just play with the grandkids at home.”“He’s not getting married. Every time I nag him, he says he’s busy and that he will eventually get married, but when I ask him to go on blind dates, he refuses to. Serenity’s helping to keep an eye out for him too, but what good is it if he won’t even meet them?”“We’re not the ones getting married, so there’s no point in us liking the girl. He has to be the one who likes her. And he’s not the type t

“Yeah, that’s one way to go about it. You guys have to be careful.” Lilian reminded him.“We’ve always been very careful.”Jane said, “You and Noelle are both quite meticulous. We trust you.”“Noelle hasn’t given me an answer yet. I’m a little worried. What if she doesn’t accept my feelings? I just knew confessing would scare her. It might even scare her into leaving me.“There are so many troublesome things around me. Peaceful days definitely aren’t in the cards for me. She has been by my side for so long that I know that deep down inside, she actually craves peace and wants to live a normal life.”He wanted to live a normal life too, but unfortunately, he had to bear the heavy burden of avenging his family ever since he was young. Even if he wanted to live peacefully, others would not let him do so.Lilian replied, “You’re overthinking it. Noelle has been by your side for so many years. What doesn’t she know about you? Even if she rejects you, do you think she can just stay out

Tony and Manny’s era was finally over. Relying on their status as acting heads of the Longbottom family, the two had long run rampant in Havenmill, driving countless companies into bankruptcy.Tony and his family simply did as they wished as if they were kings of Havenmill.Even though they were merely acting heads, everyone still feared them back when the Longbottom family was the wealthiest in the city.The only force capable of curbing the Longbottom family’s arrogance was the rise of Longtail Group. Since Longtail Group operated in the same industries as Longbottom Corporation, these two were destined to be arch-enemies.However, in the beginning, Longbottom Corporation did not take Longtail Group seriously. One could even say they did not even know of Longtail Group.By the time they finally took note of Longtail Group and started retaliating, it was too late because it had already grown big enough to steal quite a fair bit of their business and had established partnerships w
