Julian smiled. “What will my subordinates do if I take on everything myself? I have to give them chances. It’s good enough that I’m at the company during the day.”Back in Wiltspoon, he would be absent for as long as half a month. The senior executives handled every company matter. He would only return to the office if there were any urgent issues. How could a busy person like him go to the office every day? He was not just handling the business side of things but many other areas as well. Walter was the head of the family but had retired early, so Julian was in charge of most of his undertakings. “You sound like other people should be honored that you’re even going to work. The company is yours. The money earned will go into your pocket, not your employees. If you have a business engagement at night, let us know. You don’t have to worry about coming home to a locked door. Just call me, and I’ll open the door for you.”Zoey usually locked the door at eleven o’clock at night. Th

“She’s fine. I brought her to the hospital for a checkup this morning. The baby is growing well. I was beside her when the doctor did an ultrasound. The baby is moving, but Jasmine hasn’t felt any movements yet. She’s fourteen weeks along. The doctor said the fetal movement is usually felt in the sixteenth week.”Julian wanted to correct Josh that it would be weird if the baby did not move at all. It seemed like Josh’s speech was getting jumbled up. However, he understood that Josh was simply inexperienced as a first-time father. If Quinn had gotten pregnant after their marriage, he would probably have the same reaction as Josh. However, that would not be happening anytime soon. Julian had not even confessed yet. He did not know when he could finally have his girl and become a father himself. Hopefully, it would happen before he turned forty. Some people married at a young age and became grandfathers at the age of forty, whereas Julian’s wish was to be a father before that age

“How did you confess to Jasmine back then? Did she accept it right away? Or did she reject you before? Did you feel embarrassed after getting rejected? How did you adjust your mindset?“Don’t laugh at me, Josh. It’s the first time I've ever liked a girl in my life. I have zero experience. Although I’ve witnessed Zachary and Serenity’s journey, they’re different. They got married first.”Julian found it embarrassing to ask for Josh’s help in relationship matters. It was unbecoming of him as the next head of the Bucham family. However, he could not think of anyone else to pose his question to. He did not like letting others know about his private affairs. Usually, he would be the one prying instead. Josh said, “Oh shush. Aren’t you wooing Quinn right now? I can see that you’re treating her very well. She’s not a fool. She probably knows your feelings. Maybe she’s just waiting for your confession.“Jasmine and I just went with the flow. Zachary and Serenity introduced us. We fe

“Everything’s fine now. You should cherish your time with Jasmine since it’s your day off. I’ll get back to work and fetch Quinn from the gym later in the evening to have dinner at home together.”Josh knew Julian was living with the Crawfords. He said, “You should build a good relationship with the Crawfords while you’re there. That way, even if Quinn is hesitant, her family will persuade her to accept you.”Getting her parents on Julian’s side was of utmost importance. Josh was well-liked among the Soxes. Julian said confidently, “The Crawfords like me.”Zoey no longer treated Julian like a stranger. If he and Quinn ate something unhealthy, Zoey would also scold him while preparing him healthier meals for the following days. The initial awkwardness no longer existed between them. Zoey was probably treating Julian like a son-in-law already. That was why she told him off too whenever he did something she disapproved of. “I guessed so. I believe in you, Julian. All the best

Jasmine smiled. “Of course. I knew about you when Serenity said she wanted to introduce you to me. You’re Zachary’s right-hand man. Although we didn’t belong to the same social circle back then, I heard your name often.”Josh chuckled. “I thought you didn’t like me. Our blind date didn’t go that well.”“Did it not? Anyway, I liked you a lot.”“Me too. We’re two peas in a pod. We both love gossip. I even had the impression that you only started dating me because you wanted juicy scoops.”Jasmine gave him a side-eye. “Although I love gossip, marriage is a big thing. I won’t get married to you just to get first-hand gossip. I’d never get married if I didn’t love the person. I chose you because I loved you, and our attraction was mutual.”Their relationship had been smooth sailing. There were no problems, nor were there love rivals. Their families were supportive of their relationship when they knew they were together. Josh’s parents adored Jasmine. When they visited the Soxes to

Zachary told Serenity what Josh shared about Jasmine wanting to bite his arm occasionally. Serenity was speechless. She would rather munch on a drumstick than an arm. Julian was envious of Josh and Jasmine’s lovey-dovey relationship. He hoped that he and Quinn could be as happy as they were. After the call with Josh, Julian was deep in thought. ‘Should I just confess? Or should I buy a bouquet for Quinn later?’He was worried that Quinn would think the bouquet was a waste of money because it was inedible. After a while of being torn over it, Julian finally called his secretary and said, “I want a bouquet of roses. Buy it for me now. I need it before I leave the office for the day.”The secretary was not surprised to receive such a request as Julian’s love for Quinn was pretty obvious. Quinn was the only person who had not realized it yet. The roses Julian bought were definitely meant for Ms. Crawford. “Okay. I’ll head to the florist now and get the bouquet. I promis

Julian stopped what he was doing and raised his head. The secretary brought the roses over. “Put it on the coffee table.”“Okay.”He walked over to place the bouquet on the coffee table. Then, he looked toward Julian and asked, “Is there anything else, Mr. Bucham?”“Nothing for now. You can go on with your work.”“Alright.”The secretary left the office when he saw Julian had resumed working. Julian completed his work as fast as he could. He shut his computer and grabbed his phone and car key. The car was newly bought to take Quinn on relaxing drives. He grabbed the bouquet. After looking at it for some time, he felt that the bouquet was prettier than the ones he had bought for Elisa half-heartedly before. He decided he would buy flowers personally next time. Would a bouquet be enough? Julian recalled Josh buying bouquets and jewelry for Jasmine frequently but it was not suitable for him to give Quinn jewelry. She would never accept it. He even wanted to give her a

The sky was already dark even though it was still early. Days were shorter and nights were longer during winter. Quinn’s class with the kids had just ended. “Julian is here.”A kid spotted Julian’s car and shouted. The children swarmed out of the gym. “Don’t come over. The wind is strong,” yelled Julian. However, everyone still rushed out. Julian passed a few bags of snacks to the older children to be brought into the gym while the younger ones took the fried chicken. Quinn walked out while putting on a thick jacket. When she saw Julian, she smiled and said, “I used to be the most popular person in the gym before you came, but it’s you now.”Will came out too. He said, “You’re just stingy. If you were as generous as Julian and bought everyone a meal every time you came, you would definitely become Ms. Popular again.”“I’m not stingy. How many times can I treat everyone with the little money I have? Julian is the CEO of a huge company. I’m not going to fight Julian for

“A baby’s face changes almost every day. We’ll only know who he takes after when he’s a little older.”Serenity agreed. “I should call Elisa and share this news with her.”Jasmine probably did not have time to tell her friends about her newborn. Serenity also forgot to inform Elisa because she was too worried about Jasmine. Zachary told her to call Elisa only after they were inside the car. There were too many people in the hospital. Serenity held back her excitement and immediately called Elisa when she got in the car. Elisa was extremely busy at the company. She was the only one who could manage their joint company at that moment because Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they wanted to return to the company to work, Elisa would not allow them. Rest was of utmost importance for pregnant women. Elisa was unmarried and not pregnant. She did not mind being busier. She only picked up Serenity’s call after some time.“Seren.”Elisa held the phone in her left h

“All that matters is that you’re okay, honey. Let’s not have more children. We’ll just have this one son.”Josh spoke while holding Jasmine’s hand.Women had to experience immense pain when giving birth. It came with many risks as well. Josh had heard other people saying that a woman usually had one foot in the grave during childbirth.He was genuinely shocked after accompanying Jasmine through her labor. He had been terrified and worried that something would happen to Jasmine.Luckily, everything ended well. Jasmine and their son were safe. However, Josh did not want to experience something like that again. Having one child was enough. There was no need for a second or third child. The Buchams were a big family anyway. He did not have to bear the responsibility of expanding the family alone.“Okay. We shall not have another baby.”Although Jasmine was brimming with motherly love and recovery from a vaginal delivery was quicker, she still thought childbirth was too

It was not just Camila. The rest of the people there also had the same thought. Josh and Jasmine had a great relationship. If something happened to Jasmine, Josh would be devastated and lose all hope of living.“Congratulations. The mother has given birth to a boy safely. The baby boy is six pounds and three ounces.”The people who brought Josh out were the anesthetist and nurse.The nurse instinctively reported the good news when she saw the crowd.Then, she explained, “The father probably fainted from shock after the baby was born. Come over and help bring him to the side to rest. The mother won’t be out that quickly.”Upon hearing her words, everyone’s mood brightened up.Camila, whose legs felt weak just now, was immediately filled with strength and stood up. Without Drake's help, she went to the nurse and asked, “Does the baby need to be in the incubator since he was born prematurely?”The nurse replied, “We’ll put the baby in the incubator and observe him for a while. If

Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain.

With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the

People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe

Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

“Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.
