According to Sawyer, if Koben had not been born, he would be the youngest in the family. He had the family’s undivided attention as the baby, but Koben took away affection that belonged to the youngest five years later. That was the reason why Sawyer and Koben did not get along. Fortunately, Sawyer still watched over Koben outside of home, but the bickering still happened behind closed doors. “They all came back?” Heath replied, “Since you were at Uncle Austin’s, and Koben was dying to get to you, they made their way back and followed Koben to yours. Uncle Austin is made aware of their arrival.” Expecting more family to arrive, Austin went to get groceries since the ingredients at home were not enough to feed them all. It was lively to have the kids gathered around the dinner table. The company helped with the appetite, and they could clean out a horse. Austin loved the bustle, and so did the O’Connors. Even if the kids could scream the house down, the O’Connors would n

Ring, ring…Xavier’s phone went off. He glanced at the caller ID and told Callia, “It’s Heath.” Callia gestured for Xavier to take the call. Xavier mumbled, “Shouldn’t Heath be busy? Why does he have time to call me?” Still, he accepted the call from his future brother-in-law. “Xavier, Koben and the others are on the flight. They will be arriving three hours later. You need to pick them up at the airport.” Taken aback, Xavier said, “So soon?” Heath replied, “Soon? Koben has been talking my ear off about getting there, but I didn’t have time to take him since we were expecting guests at home. I managed to keep him down until today. “Koben has been nagging for days that he wants Callie. You didn’t tell him that you were going over, so he had to wait for a few days before traveling to Uncle Austin’s.”Xavier replied, “He’s permanently attached to Callie. I can’t have a decent talk with Callie when he’s around. Koben never leaves Callie alone. The thing I can’t stand the

No one in their right mind would lay a finger on Callia in school. For starters, Callia was a straight-A student, the apple of the faculty’s eye. For another, it was no secret that she had a big send-off on the first day of school. No one had the nerve to hurt her. When she was in the ninth grade, her cousins were in the tenth and eleventh grades in the same school. They had her back. The biggest nuisance she faced daily was being bombarded by love letters for her cousins. She had never received one because no one had the guts to express their love to her, knowing she had a close family friend and boy cousins. She served as a human mailbox for her cousins, sorting through mountains of love letters without ever seeing one addressed to herself. She did receive quite a few gifts, and some of them were for her. The girls, eager to court her extended family, knew better than to ignore the messenger, so they made sure to slip her a little something when they had a gift for the boys

Hand in hand, Xavier and Callia strolled further down the shaded path of the backyard.The O’Connors’ residence was not quite Wildridge Manor, but the scale of the place was massive. It was quiet in the backyard with tree-lined paths, a little bridge over trickling water, and a winding pathway. It was pure bliss just to take a stroll in the area while catching the breeze. Austin had two sons, and the younger was twelve, so the manor was quiet. At times, the leaves rustled against the blowing wind, breaking the silence of the backyard. “Do you want to take a seat?” Spotting the gazebo up ahead, Xavier asked Callia tenderly. “Alright.”Xavier pulled her along to the gazebo. “This brings back memories. You couldn’t walk straight when you were one, but you ran behind us anyway.“You fell when we were running around your family’s manor. Heath wasn’t the one to pick you up. It was me. We tried to make you stop crying before the adults heard you.“You were everybody’s darling.

Xavier stopped and said earnestly, “Callie, I’ve been telling Heath since the age of six that once you grow up, I’m going to make you my wife and give you the world. “I’ve been waiting for you to grow up, watching over you while chasing your suitors away for twenty years. “That has been my focus in the last two decades, and I’m not stopping now. I’m devoted to carrying on for the rest of my life. “I don’t care about the other fish in the sea. You’re the one for me. I’m happy to be chained to you for the rest of my life. I couldn’t care less about other women who fancy me because you’re the love of my life. You’re the only one for me.” Xavier brushed his fingers against Callia’s face, his eyes tender. He said lovingly, “Callie, do you know how it feels to wait for the woman you love? I’ve waited for you all my life just to see you graduate.“Though we won’t be getting married just yet, in my eyes, you’re already my wife. I love you more than life itself.” Callia met his gaze

Xavier said frankly, “And how am I supposed to coax you? Should I make a bottle of formula for you and feed you while I carry you? When you were still young enough to be drinking formula, I did that often enough.”Chester was immediately left speechless and his childish face flushed red.It was true that the youngest of the York boys had been taken care of by these older boys until they grew up.“Chester, have you finished your summer homework? Didn’t you say you wanted to go back to Wiltspoon? If you haven’t finished your homework, you won’t be able to enjoy yourself to your heart’s content even if you go back.”Chester replied, “I already graduated from elementary school and I’m starting middle school after the holidays, so I don’t have any homework.”It was just that Chase had dug out his middle school books for Chester to learn from and had bought a lot of workbooks for him to complete after self-studying every day. Chase would even check them after coming home from work.It
