As Grandma May complained about her great-grandchildren being noisy, her companions said, “You love the lively atmosphere anyway. You’re so lucky. We’d be overjoyed if we had this many great-grandchildren bothering us.”Despite her complaints, Grandma May was actually happy about it.She often called Josh and Julian to bring their children over. Julian’s son was a little over two years old. He still had not attended preschool and was an active kid.Julian brought his son to Wildridge Manor frequently because he knew Grandma May liked her place to be lively. His retired parents would also visit the manor. Julian had become the head of the Bucham family. Joyful laughter and squeals of the children could be heard daily at Wildridge Manor.Grandma May had seven great-grandsons, and three of them had started attending preschool. Since they were on summer vacation, all of her grandsons were gathered at the manor. With many children around, even the closest of brothers would start fight

“Run all you want. Even if I don’t succeed, Zachary surely can. If he comes over himself, he won’t be as soft as I am.“If he can’t make you get married, Nana will fly over. When that time comes, you’re done for.”River said resignedly, “It’s not that I don’t want to get married, Serenity. I need to meet someone I like first. The standards to be a daughter-in-law of the Yorks are high.“You should call Zachary now so that he doesn’t get worried. I’ll take the children out to play.”After speaking, River quickly went out with Heath and Callia.Serenity sighed.Once River and the kids were out of sight, she took out her phone. She called Grandma May first instead of Zachary. Grandma May answered the call after some time.Her hearing was not as good as it had been before.She did not even notice her phone was ringing and only realized it after someone beside her notified her.Grandma May quickly put on her glasses and hearing aids before picking up the phone. “Nana.”Serenit

Serenity laughed. “How long have you been enemies with Ms. Lafayette?”“We started going against each other after I joined Crest Co., so it has been five years. I have to admit that she’s competent and formidable. Thanks to her being my opponent, my life isn’t that lonely.”River regarded Rosalie highly.“I do admire Rosalie. She holds a high status in Solville’s business industry and is an elite lady of the Lafayettes. Many tycoons want her to be their daughter-in-law.“However, while the young men of Solville like working with her, they don’t want to date her. Perhaps they think she’s too strong and stands out too much. If they date her, she’ll steal the limelight whenever they’re together.”To River, the talented young men in Solville were simply inferior to Rosalie.They thought being with Rosalie would make them feel suppressed and hurt their pride.While those men admired Rosalie, they did not harbor romantic feelings. They would refuse to marry Rosalie if given a choice.

After thinking about it, Heath said, “Is Uncle River better than Uncle Austin at cooking? We can have our meal at home if that’s true. If not, you can take us out for dinner, Uncle River.“Mom said every place has its unique food. I want to try Solville’s local food.”River smiled. “I learned how to cook, but I’m not as good as Austin. He loved cooking since he was young and had learned from many master chefs.“How can I possibly be better than him? However, I must say that I can also prepare delicious food.“We can have our meal at the hotel we went to just now. The food there is great. They serve many of Solville’s local delicacies.”“Okay.”Heath clapped his hands happily.Callia copied her brother and also clapped her hands ecstatically.Serenity said, “Any restaurant’s fine. It’ll be pretty tiring to cook a meal ourselves.”River most likely did not cook often. Serenity had gone to his kitchen and saw the refrigerator. There were not many ingredients inside, and they we

Damian asked.“Yes, from Wiltspoon—over 1,200 miles away. It’s really far.”Rosalie had never been to Wiltspoon.The Lafayettes had no business interests there, so she had never had a reason to visit. As for going there on vacation, who had the time?Damian suddenly considered sending someone to investigate River’s family background.His sister immediately guessed his thoughts. She warned, “Damian, there’s no way River and I will ever be a thing. Don’t waste effort digging into his family.“We’ve been rivals for years. Neither of us has ever backed down.“If we actually got together, we’d be fighting nonstop. At work, at home, there’d be no peace whatsoever. I have absolutely no desire for a chaotic life like that.”After a moment of thought, she added, “I’ll ask Grandpa if Mr. Jacques is still single. We’ve met a few times, and Grandpa quite likes him and thinks we’re compatible.“He was my senior in school, and we can hold a conversation. If he’s available, maybe I’ll give i

Rosalie stared at her brother in disbelief. “Damian, River and I are sworn enemies. To defeat my opponents, of course, I have to understand them inside out.”“Know thyself and know thy enemy, and you will never be defeated” was an art of war, not a dating strategy. Damian chuckled. “I’m just saying. I’m not going to force you to be with him. But if you look at him from another angle, he really is exceptional. He does have plenty of admirers, you know.”Rosalie pursed her lips. “So what? I don’t like him. No matter how many girls like him, it’s none of my business.”After a brief pause, she muttered under her breath, “Besides, he doesn’t like me either.”Her brother smiled but did not press further. Instead, he changed the subject. “There’s an invitation to a dinner on Saturday night. You should make an appearance. I won’t be going.”“Saturday? Today is Wednesday. Okay, got it.”Rosalie had attended countless corporate events by now and was plenty experienced. Even if she was to
