Seeing Kaden stay silent, Everly too fell silent for a moment before saying, “If you really feel like you owe him, I’ll treat him to dinner this Friday night. That should do it, right?”Kaden immediately lit up with a smile. “That’s settled, then. Friday night, you’re inviting Sonny to our house for dinner.“No, we should go to Clearfield Hotel to eat. If we invite him over to our home, others will misunderstand when they learn about it.“Grandpa, I know you think highly of Sonny and are trying your best to matchmake us, and to tell you the truth, I think highly of him too. If we both liked each other, I wouldn’t say no, but neither of us has felt that spark.“We just respect each other, plain and simple. So please, stop going to all that trouble.“I’ll just have two kids via IVF, as I planned. Even if they don’t have a father to watch them grow up, as long as I educate them with care, the kids will still turn out well.“There are so many kids who grew up in single-parent familie

Kaden could not very well insist, so he had no choice but to give up. “Alright. If it’s possible, do stay an extra two days so we can properly host you. If you really can’t make the time, we’ll just have to make up for it the next time.”After they ended the call, Kaden put down his phone and ruminated as he sat on the sofa.Sonny was so busy, and Everly was equally so. They really had to squeeze their schedules around if they wanted to take even just two days off. Under these circumstances, dating was indeed difficult.If they were both in Clearfield, making time here and there to meet, have a meal, or go shopping together was plausible.However, they were based in cities so far apart. Though their companies were now collaborating and they occasionally made business trips to each other’s cities, it was absolutely impossible for them to cultivate any feelings based on those few days’ worth of interaction.Even if they did, there would not be much time to solidify the relationship.

“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.”
Chapter 5543
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

Who cares about all this baby stuff. What a waste of time to have read this.

I've had red and payed for a dozen other stories maybe more on different exciting other apps.. BUT U DON'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP WRITING SHIT. WILL NOT RECOMMEND U EVER... PUT YOUR DEDICATED READER'S OUT OF MISERY....& GET LOST LIKE YOUR STORY.
How many love stories contain so much about murder and death? Now the storyline contains plans for Madame Fisher to gather everyone together and burn everyone to death- this is horrible. Author please change the trajectory of the novel and finally finish it on a happy note.
Again nothing in these chapters. Get back to the real stories and characters
