Chapter 5192
As soon as Callia started her vacation, she came over specifically because of the cool weather.Noelle still lent a hand with the work.After tending to the medicinal herbs, the two of them headed back toward the main house ten plus minutes later.In the dining room, only Laurence’s breakfast was set out.Noelle always ate in the kitchen. No matter how many times Laurence spoke to her about it, she still refused to sit at the same table with him for meals.Standing beside the table, Laurence called out in a stern voice with a straight face. “Noelle!”Noelle, who had just been about to eat breakfast, hurried out when she heard him calling.“Where’s your breakfast?”“Mr. Laurence, I’ll eat in the kitchen.”The kitchen was spacious, and there was also a small dining table inside, so eating there was no different.It was just a little warmer inside.Laurence took out his phone, clicked on Chloe’s contact, and started a video call.At this hour, Chloe had not gone to work yet an

While Noelle was checking Laurence’s room for intruders, he wanted to say something to her countless times, yet in the end, he did not utter a single word.He simply let her finish the inspection and silently walk out afterward.The two of them clearly lived under the same roof, with their rooms right next to each other, yet at times, he felt as though an endless distance separated them.He knew Noelle had feelings for him, just as he did for her. Yet neither of them had ever pierced through that thin veil between them.His great vengeance remained unresolved, so he did not dare think about matters of love.As for Noelle, she had engraved Doc’s words deeply into her heart and faithfully followed them. Though she loved Laurence deeply, she always positioned herself as a bodyguard, servant, assistant, and the like.She had never once thought about becoming his woman or his wife.It was not only that she lacked courage, but also that she could not cross that psychological barrier.

Laurence said, “You know I don’t like eating that stuff. Why give it to me? I already said it’s for you, so just eat it. Women who eat more supplements usually have much better skin.”Laurence raised his head and looked at Noelle.She had followed him around, with ample wind and sun exposure, yet her skin remained excellent. Firstly, the skincare products she used were high-quality. Secondly, his Aunt Cheryl’s family was in the skincare business, and the products personally developed by them were especially effective. Countless wealthy ladies and daughters of prestigious families purchased from her.Every time he returned to FC Manor, he would ask Aunt Cheryl for some skincare products—some for himself and some for Noelle.Laurence cared a great deal about his appearance as well. He had been handsome and adorable since childhood, and he certainly did not want to become unattractive after turning thirty. So he paid close attention to maintaining himself, and whenever skincare produc
Chapter 5189
Serenity chatted with Callia for more than half an hour. Zachary became a little jealous and said from the side, “Babe, you’ve talked with our daughter longer than you talked with me. I’m going to say our daughter is biased.”Serenity gently pushed him aside and chuckled as she said, “Lil’ Pie, go rest early. Mom’s hanging up now. The older your dad gets, the more childish he becomes.”“Dad just can’t stand seeing you get along so well with us. He wishes you would think about him twenty-four hours a day.”After his daughter exposed him, Zachary said matter-of-factly, “Your mom is the one spending her whole life with me. Of course, I want her to think about me all day. Alright, stop chatting now and hurry off to rest.”Callia wanted to say it was still very early, but in the end, she reluctantly hung up the phone.Meanwhile, Laurence did not get home in Havenmill until ten o’clock that night.The villa he lived in was very large, and the courtyard was designed in a classical garde

Callia smiled and said, “You’re not old at all, Dad. You’re still very young. When I go shopping with you, people think we’re siblings. They can’t tell we’re actually father and daughter.“Mom isn’t old either. You both are still very young. Dad, don’t think about retiring yet. Work a few more years so Heath can get more familiar with everything before you retire.”Callia felt sorry for her brother. Once their parents retired, all the company responsibilities would fall entirely onto Heath’s shoulders.Although her father was already semi-retired, he still managed affairs and went back to the office for half a day at a time, which allowed Heath to take a breather.“Your big brother is already familiar with everything, and everyone trusts him. Besides, Xavier is helping him too. You don’t need to worry about Heath. He’s much more capable than I was at my age then.“I remember taking over the family business when I was around his age.”Zachary’s words carried both affirmation and p

“No matter how much pressure you’re under, it still can’t compare to Heath’s. Sometimes I really feel sorry for him having to shoulder such heavy responsibilities.”Callia truly felt sorry for her older brother. She said, “In a few years, when I’m capable enough to help share his burden, he’ll be able to relax a little.”Chase immediately said, “Callia, just do whatever you want to do. Don’t worry about Heath lacking help. The few older ones will go back and help out. You just focus on doing what you want.”In their minds, the older boys existed precisely to make Callia’s life easier.Since childhood, they had known their generation only had one girl, and it was their duty to protect her. Even if the sky collapsed, they would make sure it never crushed her.“I also want to do business. I want to become a domineering boss like Chloe.”Chase laughed. “You’re different from Chloe. Her domineering aura is something she was born with. You look so soft and cute. There’s no way you can

I like Seren and her sister Liberty, they are hard working and they don't accept handouts. They have good hearts and they don't wish bad for anyone. May God bless them more
Her dad had 4 brothers not sons
Well that’s it for me. I hope the Yorks live happily. Jasmine and Josh will have a wonderful life as well as Duncan and Liberty
Serenity should have sell them the property. Why she wants to mix with them if they are so wicked. It’s made no sense. She really wants to go back to that house.
