River held Callia’s and Heath’s hands without taking a step forward. He did not want to eavesdrop on Rosalie and Serenity’s conversation. When Rosalie looked toward him, he even smiled gently at her. Rosalie shivered and quickly averted her gaze. She told Serenity, “You have a point, Serenity, but I still think this is a trap. You’re River’s sister-in-law, so you must be on his side and scheming with him.”“I’m innocent, Rosalie. I’m always rational and reasonable. I’ll never help River plot against you.“I simply told him to be nicer to girls. Although you and River are enemies, you’re still a girl. You’re most likely his first practice.“You just have to get used to his different attitudes.“Let’s go. The more you’re afraid of his gentleness, the more he’ll use it on you.”Serenity pulled Rosalie along. After taking a few steps, she turned and told River, “Look after the children and keep up with us.”She did not bring a nanny along, so she had River to help take care of th

“What happened, Rosalie? Why do you look startled?”River saw the effect he had on her and continued talking to her softly.As expected of Serenity, her simple guidance allowed him to catch his enemy off guard.Despite having known Rosalie for many years, it was his first time seeing a surprised look on her face—as if she had seen a ghost.River found it satisfying.Rosalie asked, “Are you River York?”“Of course. Don’t you recognize me? I’m sad. I’m confident that I can identify you even if you turn to ashes.”River maintained his gentle tone and gaze.Rosalie had goosebumps from listening to him. Serenity thought, ‘This rascal learns pretty quickly.’“Aunt Rose.”Callia and Heath greeted Rosalie. Serenity looked toward River and told Rosalie, “Ignore him, Rosalie. Let’s go shopping.”Rosalie continued staring at River with a confused face. Then, she pulled Serenity aside and asked softly, “What happened to River, Serenity? Why is he suddenly talking to me gently? He

When walking, he could eventually memorize a route after taking it multiple times. However, since he usually drove everywhere, he never paid much attention to his surroundings, hence his reliance on navigation apps.This was a weakness River never admitted, not even to his family.Then again, most people used GPS these days when driving, so his habit did not stand out.“Ms. Lafayette, are you sure this won’t take up your time?”“Not at all. I haven’t gone out for a proper stroll in ages. Serenity, let’s meet at La Grande Solville later.”La Grande Solville was iconic in the city, and it was also where the two had first met. Rosalie naturally suggested it.“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony.”“Serenity, I feel like we’ve been friends for over a decade. There’s no need for formalities with me.”Rosalie could not explain why she had taken such an instant shine to Serenity either, as if they had known each other for years.“Same here. See you soon.”Serenity mused that ever

“Serenity, why are you looking at me like that?”River felt a bit self-conscious under Serenity's amused gaze.Thank goodness Zachary was not here. He would give him a death glare.“I suddenly can’t remember Ms. Lafayette’s contact number. You have it, don’t you? Let me call and ask if she’s free tonight to show me around Solville and its night scenery.”As a tourist city, Solville stayed lively even late at night, its streets bustling with visitors.River replied, “Of course I do. Even if I lost my memory, I’d still remember her number.”After all, she was his rival. He had her preferences, weaknesses, and contact details memorized. Hell, he even knew her measurements.Not that he would ever admit that out loud. Serenity might misunderstand his intentions.He did not have any interest in Rosalie. That woman—okay, fine, she was not bad. Putting aside their business rivalry, they were actually quite compatible.River dialed Rosalie’s number. She took her time answering.Before

“The twins already went to their maternal grandparents’ house in Jensburg for summer break.”The two boys had flown to Jensburg right after preschool let out, with the Queens waiting at the airport to pick them up.Heath was silent for a moment before he said, “Then Merry can totally come.”Uncle Austin and family rarely came back anyway, and Uncle Dylan’s and Uncle Peter’s sons were probably at their maternal grandparents’ too, right?Sometimes, Heath envied his cousins who got to visit their maternal grandparents.His own maternal grandparents had passed away when his mom was only ten, so he had no maternal grandparents—only Aunt Libby and his grandaunt Audrey, who doted on him and his sister like grandparents would. Whenever he felt that pang of envy, he would have the driver take him to his grandaunt’s house, where his older cousins would play with him.His cousin Sonny, Liberty’s son, and his little sister Jiggy were fun to play with, too. Those visits were his only consolat

Camryn immediately handed the phone to her son, letting him negotiate with Uncle River. She could not bring herself to suggest sending Merry over.After all, there were several other kids at home. If Merry went, the others would surely throw tantrums to follow. Moreover, River, being an unmarried man, probably would not be able to handle eight children all at once.Thus, Camryn let her son do the talking while she stayed silent.If she had the time, she would have joined Serenity’s trip to Solville. However, she would not be free until later in the year, when she had planned to take Merry on a trip to broaden his horizons.She had already discussed it with the other sisters-in-law. Serenity had promised to squeeze out some time to bring Heath and Callia along.Their plan was to visit Satbury to see Austin and his family, then stay a while to enjoy the milder summer weather there.Since marrying Isabella, Austin only returned to the York home for major holidays and usually stayed
