Noelle went quiet for a while before turning to Laurence. Laurence pulled a stoic look. When their eyes met, Laurence spoke sternly, “What? Are my instructions not clear enough for you? “Maybe you are just not willing to taste test the food for me.” Noelle glanced at the refreshments delivered by the housekeeper. She replied respectfully, “Sir, the fruit and pastries at the O’Connors’ house are definitely fresh and tasty.Isabella was known for her refined palate. Her home only stocked the best of the best. Chase said, “We have several fridges at home. Mom has one of her own, and what she eats is totally separate from what the rest of us got.” This was the truth. The food Austin cooked for Isabella was works of art that never repeated. Austin would just whip something quick for the kids. Though the ingredients were fresh, the cooking lacked the finesse found in the food for Isabella. It was a good thing Austin was an amazing chef. Even his lazy dishes were so good that t

“Xavier is a decent guy.” After much silence, Laurence put in a good word for Xavier. Chase fell silent in his thoughts before sighing. “That’s true. No one else but him has the guts to ask for Callia’s hand in marriage.” “I wouldn’t say that. My mentor is very fond of Callia. She constantly talks about bringing the families together through marriage, but Oliver feels the same way about Callia as I do. I guess it’s more of a sibling bond since we grew up together.” Lilian absolutely adored Callia and wanted to drop Oliver at Serenity’s place, so Serenity could raise him as her son-in-law. At least, Oliver and Callia could get close as children. The senior family members wanted the kids to spend time together and grow up with a strong bond. Things would work out better for them in the future. Their feelings for each other were indeed deep, but the affection was like siblings, not love. Lilian often nagged Oliver about not falling for a cute and pretty girl like Callia. Oli

Laurence would handle the boys’ accommodation behind the scenes. If Laurence were seen with the Johnsons, Manny would know that he was the guy they had been searching for. Laurence wanted to keep the Longbottoms guessing. Unable to wipe out the threat, the Longbottoms could only watch as Laurence rose to power in Havenmill. Longtail Group dabbled in every business venture Longbottom Corporation was involved in, making both companies direct competitors. While a partnership was an option, Laurence did not want to work together with Manny. Longbottom Corporation was his once he got his payback and brought the Longbottoms to their knees. Manny and his people spent three decades keeping the wheels turning in the office. Little did they know, they were only doing the legwork for Laurence. “I wonder if Chloe can make time. I miss her,” Chase remarked. Laurence turned to him. “I hope you’re not getting any idea about Chloe. Chloe isn’t into dating someone younger like you. She wo

“Laurence, let’s head over to the gazebo and catch up a bit. I’ll get the housekeeper to bring some refreshments.” Chase glanced at Noel, who was still as icy as ever. Noelle did not care whether she got on Laurence’s nerves or not. As Laurence’s bodyguard, Noelle was responsible for his safety. “Alright. Let’s go.” Even though Laurence talked a big game about not caring about Noelle, he wanted to find a shade for Noelle to stay out of the sun. With a big grin, Chase led the way. The pair quickly stepped into the gazebo in the backyard. Before they could even take a seat, Noelle hurried over and pulled out a pack of tissues to give the bench a good wipe down. She then stepped to the side, so the men could sit down. Chase stole a glance at Laurence. Sure enough, Laurence pulled another grimace. Noelle sure saw herself as nothing more than a staff member. Everything she did centered around him. It made sense why Laurence went silent when Callia spoke of Noelle. Laur

After giving the instructions to the housekeeper, Chase took quick paces ahead. Laurence told Noelle, “I told you not to follow me.” “I want to keep my master safe.” Noelle answered in a rigid, no-nonsense manner.“Noelle, can we drop the formal title, please?” “Sir.” Laurence stopped and cocked his head back to snap an angry look at Noelle. Noelle halted her footsteps, staying six feet away from Laurence. Though her expression was a picture of respect, her eyes flickered with determination. Even if looks could kill, Noelle would not back down. Her late mentor wanted her to stay by Laurence’s side and keep him safe from harm. Noelle gave her word that no harm would come to Laurence so long as she lived. However, when she was gone, she would ensure he lived on. In the face of danger, she would jump in and give everything to secure a chance of survival for Laurence. Noelle was determined to keep her promise to the very end, even if it meant giving up her life. “Lau

Laurence smiled and said, “Someone has to do the job.” Heath was in a better position than Laurence because he had cousins to share the burden. Meanwhile, Laurence was on his own. He did not have any family. “Laurence, are you going down for a nap? Chase, take Laurence to the guest room,” Austin muttered.Before Laurence could reply, Austin sent Chase to escort him to a room. Rising to his feet, Austin uttered, “I’ll close my eyes for a bit. I didn’t sleep well last night.” “My dad hasn't slept a wink ever since he found out Callia was coming.” Laurence burst out laughing. That sounded about right. Callia was the center of the universe in the York family. She was adored and spoiled by everyone alike. They just could not help but dote on Callia. The way Laurence saw it, Callia and Chloe were like sisters to him. Austin said, “I was too excited to sleep. If you had been a girl, your mom and I wouldn’t be in this situation.” “No way Mom is like you. It’s not like I

More blank pages????
The pre-arranged payment of $9.99 monthly has been taken from my account 04/26/24, and yet there aren't daily readable chapters
Either that or they all got fired and the owners of the company is writing the book
I think I’m going to stop reading this for about a year and maybe then there will be enough chapters to keep me going for a few days. I really wish I knew which days the author will be writing and which days they’re off….i don’t know why but I keep getting the feeling that the authors have changed.
Plus Julian!
Just finish the dang book
So what do we read
No one in this family is capable of finding a girl just an old grandma knows it all and every one is beautiful and men cook woman no What is this where in the world is this happening
Can liberty n Duncan hurry up n get married…omg is there another 4 grandsons after this one..what is going on with Kevin n Hayden they have disappeared also
No chapters again today so sad!!!!!!
wtf WTH is really going on here! So done with this book!
Next chapter
Who cares about new chef Jovan or whatever Please finish this darn book already
Really boring
This is boring. I can see how to could end the entire book. Old grandma May is getting all her grandsons set in different parts of the country to protect and end the Longbottoms later own. it's all a circle of events to payout. That includes Julius also. I have figured this out . Just a guess.
Purposely haven’t been reading everyday in hopes there will be new chapters updated and more reading time but that doesn’t work. This is ignorant and disrespectful of the author! We paid for this book and it cost me a lot of money for it! I’m so done now!
No update end boring 🥱
Every Thursday we get no new chapters until the weekend then we get 4 or 5 chapters of crap. We are so fall away from the main point of this story.
You are not listening to your readers. We do not need new characters we need to end the main story. Everyone needs to leave bad reviews on how they just want money and don’t care about their readers.
This is crap, when my points run out I’m through with this book and this site! I can’t even remember how the book started with all these delays!
It’s very boring now
We don’t care about the competition
So boring omg, please go back to the unfinished characters we are interested in please.
Stop introducing new people and complete the book
Too long and disapointing
This was a very boring chapter and not needed to write the book toward completion. So disappointed!
