“Sheila, I’ll head back first. See you tomorrow.”Alex looked at Sheila deeply for a moment, waved with a smile, and rode off.Sheila stood at the doorway, watching him leave.Only after he disappeared from sight did she go into the clinic.Marvin and Enid knew she had returned, but they did not come out, not wanting to interrupt her conversation with Alex.On Marvin’s desk were two baskets of fresh fruit, still with leaves attached.At a glance, it was obvious these fruits had just been picked.“Sheila, you’re back. Alex brought over two baskets of fruit and said they’re freshly picked from his home. His grandmother asked him to deliver them to you.“They’re very fresh. He said they hardly use pesticides since they’re for their own consumption, so they’re completely organic and safe to eat.”The seasonal fruits this time of year were persimmons and pomelos, common fruits on the market.Enid brought a fruit knife and cut open a pomelo. She peeled and split it into segments be

Sheila laughed. “Everyone’s like that. If there are too many boys, they want a girl, and vice versa. They always want the best of both worlds.”In reality, not everything could turn out as one wished.Alex said, “Exactly. Now that my eldest brother and his wife have a daughter, my nana finally has a great-granddaughter, so she’s a bit more satisfied. Before that, whenever she saw someone else’s daughter, she wanted to take her home.”The one Grandma May most wanted to take home was Ben Young-Johnson’s only daughter.He only had one daughter, and every time Grandma May visited FC Manor, she wished she could take Chloe back home. This made Chloe’s late grandmother, Elizabeth, wary of Grandma May, guarding against her like a thief.After Elizabeth passed away, Grandma May had not visited FC Manor for a long time.In life, one would inevitably have to bid goodbye to many people.Thinking about how old his nana was, Alex could not help but worry that one day, she would leave them too
Chapter 4992
“All that good reputation is just rumors. It’s a carefully crafted image. Look at their daughters-in-law. None of them is ordinary. They’re all from prestigious families, all strong and capable women.“They’re all well-matched in status. Even the so-called Cinderella who married into the York family is actually from a wealthy family. So don’t be naive, and don’t believe those stories.“That’s just an image built for the men in their family. Cinderella’s story isn’t real.”Sheila said calmly, “Whether their image is real or staged has nothing to do with me. I’ve said it before. Alex and I are just neighbors. We’re ordinary friends.“It’s not what you think, so stop bringing him up all the time.”Sheila had no intention of marrying into wealth, so she did not care about Alex’s background.Whether he was a wealthy scion or an ordinary worker, to her, he was just a neighbor and a friend she got along with.When making friends, she valued character, not family background.“Kent, I’v
Chapter 4991
After hanging up, Kent’s expression turned extremely grim.He slumped weakly into his chair and stared blankly at the night outside the window.It turned out that Alex was actually from the richest family in Wiltspoon. Regardless of his rank among the York brothers, he was still an heir, someone Kent could never hope to reach in his lifetime.Alex was truly lucky to be born into such a powerful family.No wonder Alex could casually buy a house in Westbrooke Gardens. No wonder he carried such an air of nobility. Kent had to admit it even if he did not want to praise his rival.Alex’s overall qualities far surpassed his own. That was exactly why Kent felt threatened and mocked Alex for living off his relatives.Little did he know that he himself was the joke.The luxury car Alex drove clearly belonged to him. He did not need to rely on anyone because he had more than enough money himself.After a long while, Kent snapped out of it and immediately called Sheila.Sheila had just g

“The York family’s property?” Kent asked in shock, “Those are properties of the Yorks?”Alex’s last name was York!If the shops on Westbrooke Street belonged to the York family, and Alex was helping his sister-in-law collect rent, then she must be the eldest daughter-in-law of the York family. This would mean Alex was indeed a son of the Yorks!Kent had heard that the Yorks had nine sons in this generation, so what was Alex’s birth order?“Boss, thank you for helping me find out all this.”“It’s not hard to find out. Just ask the shop owners on Westbrooke Street, and you’ll know who the real landlord is.“You just never looked into it, Kent. That’s why you didn’t know.”Kent had never looked into it. He only knew that the Joneses’ family clinic belonged to the Jones family. It was built on land they had purchased long ago.Buying land and building a multi-story structure in such a prime location showed that the Jones family had long been well-off.He also knew that Sheila’s pa

“Alright, thank you. You’ve really thought everything through.”Kent had not even thought of booking a hotel in advance. He had planned to look for one after they got tired.Mary was much more thoughtful.His parents were right. When he was with Mary, she handled everything carefully. He did not need to worry about anything, and she treated his parents even better than her own.Sheila did not love him. She never took the initiative to visit his parents, nor did she care for them, accompany them, or take them out.She also did not show the same care, concern, or tolerance that Mary did.Sheila simply did not love him. In her eyes, he was just one of many seniors, nothing special. So she would never behave like Mary.Perhaps this was the difference between loving and not loving someone.Mary loved him wholeheartedly. She accepted everything about him, cared for him, and treated his parents exceptionally well.Kent silently made a decision.When he thought about their family bac
