“Complaining to Callum is fine. He won’t hold it against me. But if I insult his wife, he would probably sew my mouth shut.”Sheila burst out laughing. “That’s true. A lot of people say it’s better to offend a Mr. York than to offend a Mrs. York.”Alex agreed. “Exactly. It’s the same for the rest of us younger ones too.”He would rather offend his own brothers and cousins than offend their wives.“You probably haven’t met Rowan much, so you don’t know this, but he’s the most pampered one. He latched onto Serenity early on, and every time a new wife joined the family, he’d immediately go and do the same.“Now all the missuses spoil him rotten. As long as one of them is around, none of the men dares say a word to him. He’s the most perceptive one of us all. Even Zachary has said so.”Sheila smiled. “I haven’t seen Rowan much, but he still seems like a child. He doesn’t seem very settled yet.”“He’s the youngest. We all spoil him. Even if the sky falls, he has eight older brothers

The two couples watched different movies, and they were in different screening halls. Naturally, they did not run into each other inside.However, after the movies ended, they ran into each other outside the cinema.Alex and Sheila went to his car first, and Callum and Camryn followed behind, less than a minute apart. So, of course, they crossed paths.“Callum.”As Alex drove past the spot where Callum had parked, he spotted the man. He slowed the car, rolled down the window, and called out with a half-smile that did not quite reach his eyes.“Alex? You and Ms. Sheila came to watch a movie, too? Where’s Merry?”Callum was a little surprised to see Alex. When he noticed Sheila in the passenger seat, he gave her a polite nod and smile in greeting.“So you do remember Merry. You told me to fetch from school, then just dumped everything on me. If you were busy working overtime, fine, but you had me babysitting while you ran out to—”“Alex.”Camryn leaned slightly toward her husban

Sheila said, “It’s fine. I don’t exactly need you to pick me up after work. I can just ride home by myself tonight.”“But I’ve bought movie tickets. I wanted to take you to a movie. It starts at five past nine tonight.”Sheila thought about it for a moment before replying, “Then wait for me here. I’ll ride back to the hospital first, park it, and then come out again.”“Alright.”She turned around, rode back into the hospital, parked it, and then walked out.By then, Alex had turned his car around and was waiting. Once she got in, he said, “I just gave Marvin a call. I told him we’re going to the movies and that you’ll be back late, so he’ll leave the door unlocked for you.”“I have my own key. As long as he doesn’t double-lock the door, I can get in.”“Still, it’s better to let him know in advance.”“If I’m not home, he won’t lock the door anyway. But yes, he’ll worry.”Alex was thoughtful like that, calling ahead to inform her uncle.Soon, the two of them arrived at the cine

Alex reminded Trenton, “Trenton, when you take Merry out to play, keep an eye on him. Don’t go too far.”Trenton nodded. “We won’t. We’ll just stay around here.”He understood how seriously the York family took the children’s privacy. Until they were adults, the media was never allowed to capture their faces, and if anything slipped through, Zachary would step in personally to make sure those images never made it online.“Yeah, just wander around nearby. When you’re back in the manor this weekend, he can run around as much as he wants.”Micah asked, “Uncle Alex, are we going back to the old manor again this weekend?”“Yep,” Alex replied. “Your Aunt Lily will be coming over, so we’re heading back again. What, you don’t want to go? Your great-nana misses you all.”After their last visit, Grandma May stayed on at Wildridge Manor.Callia had originally wanted to stay behind to keep her company, but Grandma May felt bad seeing Zachary and Serenity traveling back and forth every day.

Micah replied, “Great-Nana is doing well, and Lil’ Pie is doing great too. She’s getting smarter every day. She can say a lot of words now.”Trenton smiled. “Of course. She’s growing.”Kids always changed so much in such a short time.The uncle and nephew chatted nonstop along the way.Occasionally, Alex chimed in with a sentence or two, but since he was driving, he could not get too distracted.As they were about to reach the Newmans’ residence, Micah suddenly said to Trenton, “Uncle Trent, I’m going to have another aunt soon.”Trenton replied, “Oh, you’re getting another aunt? Is it your Aunt Rosalie? Your Uncle River just got married.”After processing what his nephew meant, he turned to look at Alex and asked with a grin, “Alex, you’ve got a girlfriend already? Since when? I didn’t even hear that you were dating. Don’t tell me you’re pulling a flash marriage like Zachary and Serenity?”“I do have feelings for someone. I just haven’t won her over yet, but she won’t escape me

“Thank you, Uncle Alex! You’re my favorite!”Micah thanked him happily.Trenton immediately sounded a little jealous. “Merry, didn’t you say I’m your favorite uncle? How is it your Uncle Alex now?”“I love all of you, but I love Mom and Dad the most, and Grandpa, Gramma, and all my uncles too.”Trenton laughed. “Wow, you really spread the love around equally, don’t you?”He picked Micah up into his arms, then said to Alex, “I just got back from a business trip. I’m exhausted and don’t feel like driving, so you drive. I’ll keep Merry company.”Alex replied, “I wasn’t counting on you to drive anyway.”A few minutes later, Alex drove off from the preschool with the uncle and nephew in the car.“How did things go?” Alex asked.Trenton leaned back against the seat and replied, “It was resolved smoothly. Still, it was exhausting. Running a business is really hard. I’m nowhere near as capable as Camryn.”“Take it slow. You’re doing well—better than a lot of second-gen heirs. Most of
