“I don’t think growing up without a father made my life any worse. You and Mom loved me and gave me plenty of security and affection. I grew up perfectly fine.”Kaden scoffed. “Really? Who was the one who came home crying because she wanted a father, saying that everyone else had one and she didn’t, so she wanted one too?“And who was it who wrote in an essay that she’d never experienced what it was like to be loved by her father, had never seen her father in person, and wanted to know what it felt like to have a father’s love and companionship?”Everly was speechless.That was when she was still young.Fine. She admitted it. Deep down, she had always craved a father’s love.Now that she had grown stronger, that longing had faded considerably.“Isn’t Sonny good? If you and Sonny got together, your children would definitely be exceptional. You’re both smart and capable, and Sonny is handsome. Just imagine how adorable and good-looking your children would be?”“Grandpa, there are

“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
Chapter 5540
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

i think Julian's girl will be Lily...I don't know why, but I've never wanted Lily for Julian... I'd like it more if it's Elisa's friend or any other girl
no, I think it's Lily
The author takes long to get to the point. At the end he will get you hooked so that you want to read more. I am surprised at how many chapters I have read so far despite being in the maze. Is it possible that the girl that got Julian heart to beat faster is Theresa? His cousin?
one of the worst writers I have ever read
Very disappointed on the number of chapters released
I would like to see this story conclude soon. And more than 1 chapter a day is a reasonable expectation...I would think. Never reading anything 'ongoing ' on this app. It's too frustrating.
I would like to finish reading the novel so if you could finish all the chapters so we can
Can we get more than 1 chapter a day pls!
I am excited about Julian’s story, but the lack of progress you make on the other characters is very disappointing. You add some much chit chat and nonsense we can read four chapters and end up in the same place. If you want to add other stories fine, but move the other ones along.
Bravo!!! You managed to add one chapter today. I lost my interest to go on reading this novel. As I understand from today's chapter you mix another person Josh cousinand you aren'tgoing to finish this novel soon. I'm not going to play you game and pay you if you aren't going to add enough chapters.
So one chapter I notice you give us every Monday. But now you also added Julian in the mix this book will never end. I’m so over this book. Seriously losing interest.
Now another story line to just keep the book going Seriously over this
I think is time to stop reading this novel. This is disrespectful, specially when we keep paying more and more each day! Too disappointing!
your novel/story is interesting but this 1 chapter update is discouraging my interest in the story. kindly adjust ...
