“Okay.”Everly headed toward the back courtyard. She usually ran there because there was plenty of space. A couple of laps were enough to get a decent workout.“Everly, can I call Sonny and invite him over for breakfast? He did me such a large favor last night and even drove you home. We owe him one.”Everly paused and turned back. “Grandpa, Sonny lives far from our house. We’ll all be leaving for work by the time he gets here.“Also, he doesn’t have to come all the way here for breakfast. We can invite him to dinner another day. There’s no need to drag him out of bed early in the morning to thank him.“Sonny only got home after midnight last night. He probably didn’t get to bed until one or two in the morning. Let him sleep a little longer.“If you’re worried about owing him, then don’t ask him to help in the first place. You were perfectly capable of attending the banquet yourself, but you insisted on having Sonny go in your place. I know exactly what you’re thinking, Grandpa.”

Sonny’s place in Clearfield was quite a distance from the Flemming residence. It was already past midnight by the time he got home.Everly sent him a message to ask if he got home safely.He replied with a voice message. “I just got back, Ms. Flemming. You should get some rest. You have work tomorrow. Good night!”Everly was already half-asleep when her phone chimed. She reached over to the nightstand and picked it up, seeing Sonny’s reply.She did not say much and only responded with a thumbs-up emoji. Then, she put her phone back on the nightstand and went back to sleep.It had been a long time since she had gone to bed this early.Maybe it was because she was in a good mood, or because she was too exhausted. Either way, she slept soundly throughout the night without dreaming once.At half-past six the next morning, she woke up without an alarm.She was used to getting up at this time every day for her morning run.Afterward, she would have breakfast, chat a little with her

Maddie said, “Thanks for everything.”She felt a little ashamed as she thanked Kaden. In the past, she had privately resented him for being so overbearing. She was Everly’s mother, but he never let her have much say in Everly’s future.Maddie thought Kaden looked down on her siblings. Not only did Everly turn down the men they introduced to her, but even Kaden would also dismiss the matches and lecture her about it.She felt trapped between both sides. Steven accused her of being a useless mother, saying that he was trying to be nice by finding a boyfriend for his niece, yet he was being blamed for it.Only now did Maddie realize that she had been wrong. She should not have thought that way about Kaden.He had spent decades navigating the business world and was shrewd. When it came to judging people, his eye was far better than hers.Everly was the Flemmings’ only heir. Everything Kaden did was to protect Everly, Flemming Group, and everything the family had built.“There’s noth

“It’s good that you’ve cleared that up. I’m not saying your family is meddling. I know they’re just concerned about Everly, but they’re limited by the circles they’re in.“The young men they come across seem outstanding to them, but compared with our family and with Everly, they’re far from good enough. That girl has incredibly high standards. Unless a man is truly exceptional, he won’t be able to win her over.“She keeps saying she doesn’t want to get married, and that she’ll just have two children through IVF. That’s only because she hasn’t met a man exceptional enough to change her mind. Once she meets someone like that and spends enough time with him, she’ll gradually change her mind.“Actually, my first choice was Heath York, but he’s a couple of years younger than Everly and currently has no intention of getting married. Most of the men in the York family don’t marry until they’re around thirty years old.“Besides, the heir of the Yorks would never agree to marry into his wif

Though Everly had been raised to be outstanding and was capable enough to succeed him, Kaden still worried about Everly.There were too many predators out there, and Everly was single, while Maddie was not able to stand on her own two feet. He was really worried Everly could not handle it if he passed on.He enthusiastically arranged blind dates for Everly so he could find her a helper, but it was difficult because his standards were too high. Now, he finally found Sonny, who fulfilled all his requirements.Thus, Kaden was doing his best to matchmake them.Maddie chimed in, agreeing, “Everly, your grandfather is right. Mr. Brown looks like a reliable man, and he has a good family background. He’s capable in his own right, and we can tell he has a good character too.“He doesn’t have to marry into the family. As long as you two get married, he’ll protect you. With him protecting you even when we’re gone, we’ll be able to rest in peace.”Everly replied in exasperation, “Grandpa, Mo

Everly replied, “Mom, I don’t like wearing dresses. It’s very inconvenient.”She looked to her grandfather and, with a hint of complaint, she said, “Grandpa, you know I don’t like wearing dresses, and yet you still asked Mr. Brown to bring this dress and this set of jewelry to me. Wearing it makes me look like a nouveau riche.“A suit is more comfortable, after all. Don’t make me wear this again.”Kaden chided, “You don’t look like a nouveau riche. You have a graceful disposition, and with the jewelry on, you look elegant. You look womanly from the way you’re dressed up tonight. Your mother’s right. Women should dress like women.“Mr. Brown, what do you think? Does Everly look better in a suit or a dress?”Kaden threw the ball to Sonny.Sonny replied, “I think Ms. Everly is lovely enough to pull anything off.“Actually, there’s no need to bother about what others think of you. You’re wearing the clothes, so only you can say if it’s suitable or comfortable for you. As long as it’

I've been sitting in every chapter,waiting a way how Duncan and Liberty together with Sonny happily ever together
a twist again for Duncan and Liberty
Once again a chapter is shorter than stated. Once again, an unrewarded ad slipped in just before the end of chapter. With the continued repetition of the story, we are wasting too much time for a below-average story.
I think this book is very repetitive, I don't constantly need to be reminded about facts that were stated in previous chapters over and over again!
I never expected this to happened this way. What a twist of fate!
...️...️...️ waiting for the next chapter to come
This is awful. Duncan and Liberty deserve happiness. She would be smitten with him if it weren’t for his mom. Now he might be crippled so he’s shutting off his heart? This brakes my heart so much… I hate it.
Please put more chapters at a time.
Such short chapters! So frustrating
Please let this bring Duncan and liberty together!!!!
Where’s the rest of the story. Surely the novel doesn’t end like this?
Omg this seems so hopeless and sad. I want to read a happy story. This makes me depressed . I need to take a break from this and read something more lite and happy.
I feel so bad for liberty. But why blame her I hope liberty stay away and serenity too. What Zachary is going to say when he found out that Duncan is blaming liberty.
