Alex would set aside a tasting portion for Sheila and ask for her opinion as each dish came off the stove. She got a taste of every dish. The food was delicious. Alex even mentioned that he was not the best chef in the family. Austin was the real pro, given the title of Divine Hands in the kitchen. Apparently, Austin’s wife was a fussy eater to the point that she would only eat his food. Austin won Isabella’s heart through her belly, and the couple was happily married now. Sheila said, “Didn’t you say that Grandma May picked out the wife candidates for your cousins and brothers?” “Yes, Nana helped with the selection, but it was a long road for them to pursue their wives. Austin relied on his cooking to seal the deal with Isabella.” After dinner and a brief rest, Sheila excused herself. She had basically spent the whole day at Alex’s place. Grandma May, Tania, and Sasha would not take no for an answer when presenting Sheila with a gift. The old lady’s excuse was that She

“I will once I’ve met the person who’s meant for me. There’s no rush right now, we can cross that bridge once River gets married, since my elders haven’t been on my case yet.”“They’ll come for you sooner or later.”“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.” The two shared smiles.After spending half the day in the backyard, Alex needed to start preparing dinner, so Sheila followed him back inside.The kids were playing happily and their fathers were watching. Sheila had nothing to talk about with the other two York gentlemen and was not familiar with them, so staying with Alex was more comfortable for her.It had been a while since Grandma May and the rest had gotten up from their afternoon naps. They were discussing something indoors when they spotted the two coming back and reflexively stopped talking.“Nana, what were you guys talking about?” Alex walked over and asked in curiosity.Grandma May replied, “We were talking about River’s wedding guest list, nothing to do with

“It’s on par with the paid playgrounds outside. At any rate, it has everything kids like to play with.”Sheila chuckled. “I guess poverty limited my imagination.”Normal people paid to go to huge playgrounds, while the Yorks built an equivalent at home for their kids, enabling them to enjoy all sorts of amusements without going out.“If you go every day, it gets boring too. Once the kids are a little bigger, we’ll bring them to the corral to learn horse riding. We should let them have some new and exciting experiences from time to time.“Sheila, do you know how to ride a horse?” Alex asked.Sheila shook her head. “No, I’ve only seen them on TV or at the zoo, but we very rarely went to the zoo, either. All the adults at home were too busy to take us there.“If we wanted to go to the zoo when we were young, we’d have to wait up to a year until the New Year holidays, when the adults at home took turns going on leave. Only then would they take us to the zoo for a day. Once we got a l

“They’re on par with each other.”Alex was very confident in his own nephew, but he would not underestimate Xavier either. The Bucham children tended to be a little better in self-defense.As expected, about ten minutes later, the two kids stopped and lay on the ground, panting for air. Neither of them had lost nor won. It could only be considered a draw.After a long moment, Heath sat up from the ground and walked over to Sheila to ask, “Dr. Jones, can I sit on the swings with you?”“Sure.”“Dr. Jones, me too.”Xavier ran over as well, wanting to play on the swings too.Sheila simply got up and made way for the two boys. Unlike her, who only needed a gentle push, they wanted their Uncle Alex to push harder and liked it high.Their happy laughter filled the backyard.Soon, Zachary and Callum came over with the two littler ones in tow. When Micah and Callia saw how happily the two older boys were playing, they immediately let go of their fathers’ hands and ran toward them.“He

The Yorks did not have any electronic gadgets for the kids to play with. The kids could either play with toys or head out to run around, unlike other households whose kids got addicted to gadgets and did not like exercise because the adults kept giving them gadgets to play with.Alex returned to the kitchen to grab the snacks he had especially made for the kids.Xavier took a few pieces in a row, drank another cup of water, and placed the cup down before saying to Heath, “Let’s go out to play. I saw the tree in Uncle Alex’s backyard has a bird’s nest. Let’s climb up to see if there are any baby birds in there.”Alex did not stop the two little boys from climbing the tree and simply reminded them, “Take care not to fall from the tree. If there are baby birds, you guys can’t touch them, either. Just taking a look is fine.”“Got it, Uncle Alex. We’re heading out now.”Xavier ran off, pulling Heath with him. Sheila watched the boys’ happy figures go and remarked, “It’s great to be you
Chapter 5061
Sheila had a very good relationship with her cousins on both sides of her family, even her distant relations, because they were all in the medical line and maintained close contact.They had a huge family group chat in which everyone would normally discuss difficult medical problems. The elders who had seen much and were more experienced would generously share their experience in the group chat and offer the younger doctors guidance.The sound of footsteps came from above.The two turned toward the staircase and saw it was Heath and Xavier, rubbing their eyes as they came downstairs.“Lil’ Bun, you guys are awake?” Alex waited until the two were completely down the stairs before asking. “You could get some more sleep if you wanted to.”He did not want them to disturb his alone time with Sheila. He had not properly expressed himself yet.“Uncle Alex, I don’t go back to sleep after waking up. Are Merry and Lil’ Pie not up yet? Xav, let’s go out to play before they wake up.”Heath

This is a great book but too much repetitive repeating of things it's been dragging on and on,t his story needs to wrap up and have the evil characters get what's coming to them. Serenity and Zachary need their happiness with their baby girl and Grandma May her hearts desire,Liberty and Duncan also.
This can’t happen.
when do we get to finish the book? having read this for so long and now you leave us hanging? that's not fair or right!
Apart from the repetition I love this book. Wish I hadn't caught up to the writer but that's life. I look forward to new chapters. I hope Zachary names his baby after his grandfather.
I hope he fails and Carrie is discovered as "Mrs" Longbottom
Zachary might die or become crippled trying to save her. The full force of the secret Masters Granma May will finally show her FULL powers.
I think Longbottom is going kidnap Serenity and Sonny while at Jane’s.
why is this book taking so long? 1 or 2 tiny chapters a day? no excuse.
I hope Caroline takes over letting liberty and Duncan go back to be close to family
I hope Duncan and Liberty quickly tying their knot. Then follow by Darren and Caroline.
