Serenity was happy to see Micah and Jacqueline bonding as siblings."Can Dad come with me on my first day at kindergarten?" Jacqueline asked, her clear eyes sparkling with anticipation.Jackson arched an eyebrow in surprise. "You want me to come with you?""Because on the first day of school, many of my friends had their dads accompany them to kindergarten!" Jacqueline said. Even though it was not the first day of school anymore, it was still her first day at the new kindergarten. She had only had Mom with her before, but she finally had a Dad. Jacqueline wanted her parents to accompany her, just like everyone else.The little girl could not wait to experience her first day at the new kindergarten with her dad."Let's go together tomorrow," Jackson said. Jacqueline was so happy that she opened her arms, wanting a hug from Dad.Jackson pursed his lips, a little new to his daughter's initiative. After all, his son was not as clingy as his daughter. Looking at his daughter's cute ey

When Anna and Gwen emerged from the Porsche, the crowd watched them in amusement. After all, before Jacqueline and Serenity's appearance, many thought Gwen would most likely marry into the Valor family with Anna.Serenity saw Gwen's Porsche and frowned slightly. She had heard a lot about Gwen from Elliot and Connor lately. Gwen was originally just a humble internet celebrity. After her rich boyfriend dumped her, she had had a child out of wedlock, and her life naturally became difficult.Anna was adopted by the Valor family just two years ago. The Valor family gave Anna and Gwen a place to stay, a real estate, which was illiquid. The Valor family also provided the mother and daughter a monthly allowance of 30 thousand to cover their living expenses. Gwen could save up all that money and still not afford this Porsche. Also, Gwen looked like she was wearing an outfit costing hundreds of thousands.Gwen knew Serenity was looking at her, sizing her up. Gwen observed Serenity, still surp

Lisa took her phone and went to the corridor outside the office to talk. "Mom, I'll find a date on my own. Don't worry about it and don't keep looking for a blind date for me. How many has it been?""You know how many! It's been years. You're not 28 anymore. You're 33 this year. It won't be long before your fertility will decline so much that you can't find someone to date!" Mrs. Quest said bitterly.The light in Lisa's eyes dimmed. She knew her mother's worries and anxiety. Mrs. Quest was worried she would grow old alone with no one to take care of her. If she waited too long, she would miss a woman's peak reproductive years and end up childless. Lisa did not mind growing old alone. It was no big deal at all. Besides, she could live a good life all by herself. Although she would eventually get old, she could retire in a nursing home.Lisa did not want her parents to worry more than they already had, so she gave in. "Okay, okay. I get it. Give me his contact. I'll contact him and

Lisa closed the webpage and sent a text to the man she was supposed to go on a blind date with that evening. Right now, she should be focusing all her attention on the blind date and not anything else! Perhaps she might one day meet someone on a blind date whom she truly liked who also liked her too.As dusk fell, Lisa went to the square in the city center at the agreed time where she met her blind date for the evening–Gale Porter. He was said to be a department head of a large company, and as soon as Lisa caught sight of him, she could not help but gasp silently. It seemed that the man her mother had set her up on a date with this time was slightly… out of her league.Gale was wearing leather shoes, a smart suit, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He seemed elegant and gentlemanly, not to mention quite attractive as well. According to her mother, he was supposed to be two years older than her, so he should be 35 years old, and yet, he looked like he was not a day older than 30."

"Okay," replied Lisa.As she stood on the roadside waiting for Gale to go get his car, the night's cold breeze blew past her, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She then ran to a garbage can nearby and threw up into it, emptying a significant portion of her stomach's content.After vomiting for a while, she drowsily groped her hand around inside her bag to find some tissue, but she could not find any even after searching for a long while.Just then, a hand reached out toward her, offering her a handkerchief.With eyes hazy from drunkenness, she said, "Oh… thanks."Without giving it much thought, she then took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth with it. Only then did she realize that it was a cloth handkerchief, not a tissue."Um… I think I'd better wash it before I give it back to you…"As she spoke, she turned around, thinking that the man who had just given her the handkerchief was Gale, but it was only then that she realized she was wrong! She found herself just inch
