Callia smiled and said, “You’re not old at all, Dad. You’re still very young. When I go shopping with you, people think we’re siblings. They can’t tell we’re actually father and daughter.“Mom isn’t old either. You both are still very young. Dad, don’t think about retiring yet. Work a few more years so Heath can get more familiar with everything before you retire.”Callia felt sorry for her brother. Once their parents retired, all the company responsibilities would fall entirely onto Heath’s shoulders.Although her father was already semi-retired, he still managed affairs and went back to the office for half a day at a time, which allowed Heath to take a breather.“Your big brother is already familiar with everything, and everyone trusts him. Besides, Xavier is helping him too. You don’t need to worry about Heath. He’s much more capable than I was at my age then.“I remember taking over the family business when I was around his age.”Zachary’s words carried both affirmation and p

“No matter how much pressure you’re under, it still can’t compare to Heath’s. Sometimes I really feel sorry for him having to shoulder such heavy responsibilities.”Callia truly felt sorry for her older brother. She said, “In a few years, when I’m capable enough to help share his burden, he’ll be able to relax a little.”Chase immediately said, “Callia, just do whatever you want to do. Don’t worry about Heath lacking help. The few older ones will go back and help out. You just focus on doing what you want.”In their minds, the older boys existed precisely to make Callia’s life easier.Since childhood, they had known their generation only had one girl, and it was their duty to protect her. Even if the sky collapsed, they would make sure it never crushed her.“I also want to do business. I want to become a domineering boss like Chloe.”Chase laughed. “You’re different from Chloe. Her domineering aura is something she was born with. You look so soft and cute. There’s no way you can

Every one of them loved sticking close to Callia.If Callia took Chester out to have fun, how could the other younger cousins possibly not follow along?Koben would definitely cling to Callia and refuse to leave her side.Callia was speechless.Chester said, “Chase, I think you just can’t stand seeing me happy. You’re jealous that I get to go out and play with Callie while you have to work and can’t go anywhere, so you’re deliberately saying this stuff to scare her!“Don’t worry, Callie. It’s fine even if they all come along. We all know martial arts, so we can protect you. The only troublesome one would probably be Koben.”Callia smiled awkwardly.She had said she wanted a summer vacation where she did not have to babysit kids, but she had spoken too quickly and mentioned taking Chester out to play. Once the other younger cousins heard about it, how could they possibly not want to tag along?By then, she would once again become the big sister in charge of babysitting everyone.

“You don’t have to be in such a rush to go back to the manor, either. In about two days, those cousins of yours will probably come over to visit for a few days. Don’t forget, Callie is here at the moment. Our cousins always go where she is during the holidays.”Chester pleaded, “Chase, what I mean is, can’t I have a relaxing holiday without any homework to do? It’s not entirely for our cousins.”Chase laughed. “I know, that’s why I’m telling you to stay at home. I’m the only one who’ll nag you about your studies here.”Callia finally chimed in, “Chase, you should stop scaring Ches. With his smarts, he definitely won’t fall behind as long as he studies hard once he starts middle school. He just went on break, so let him kick back and relax first.“Don’t put Ches through what Uncle Rowan endured.”Chester immediately bounded forward to hug Callia’s arm, smiling so very sweetly.“I always knew you would treat me the best, not like Chase. All he knows is to nag me to study and do my
Chapter 5184
Laurence had driven from Havenmill over to Satbury. The journey had taken more than two hours because the traffic in central Satbury was particularly bad.It was past seven o’clock in the evening now, which meant by the time he got back to his residence in Havenmill, it would be about ten.“Oh, is that so? Alright, then, I won’t make you stay.”Chase brought two bags filled with food and drink items over and handed one to Noelle as he said, “Noelle, this is from my mom and Callie to you. You have to take it.”Noelle looked hesitantly at Laurence.She had already eaten with everyone and did not feel right taking gifts from Isabella on top of that.Laurence said mildly, “Just accept Aunt Isabella and Callie’s thoughtfulness. Don’t make Callie sad.”It was only after he said this that Noelle accepted the bag and thanked Isabella and the rest.Chase handed the other bag to Laurence and said, “Laurence, you have one too. This bag’s yours. I don’t know what’s in there, all I know is

Noelle was dragged indoors by Callia.There was no one in the hall. Isabella was working upstairs in her study.She had not gone to her office that day, but there were still some things she had to handle. Her secretary would email it to her for her to do so.Meanwhile, Austin was in the kitchen, preparing dinner.There were guests tonight and his most beloved niece was here. He had to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Most things, he did himself. The most the housekeeper did was to help wash vegetables.Callia pulled Noelle over to the sofa to sit down and said, “Noelle, have a seat while I check if Uncle Austin needs help.”“Let me. I take care of Mr. Laurence’s meals daily too, so I think my cooking skills are decent enough.”Noelle got up to follow Callia into the kitchen to help.Callia smiled. “Sure, let’s both go help.”She did not treat Noelle like an outsider.The two entered the kitchen.“Uncle Austin, do you need our help?”“Uncle Austin.” Noelle greeted Austin respectf

Reader Comments
These chapters literally made me want to sleep!
Why do I keep losing check in rewards without reading? I’ve lost over 50 rewards earned in a week. Is this happening to anyone else. Trying to get enough points to be able to read more than the daily 3 short chapters!!!
Serenity got pregnant 6 months after marriage. Sonny was 3 then, and he should be 5 now, but he's still 3, or they go to 4. They say he's still in preschool. Give me a break, aurthor!!!!!
I put in a review and afterward was kicked out of my account. I finally got back in. I guess they didn't like my review because it was a 1 star review. They don't look at anything we say. Just the money they get from us.
Move on with the story line
It’s a pain in the back side but apparently no one reads nor responds to any questions or comments unless it involves payment owed! Imagine that!!!
I don’t know why it’s happening but for some reason my account keeps opening on chapter one of this book once I finish reading the most recent updates. I log onto the support site for an answer and get nothing back from anyone. To get back to where I am I have to scroll through the chapter list!
3 chapters of nothing
These chapters are a waste of time and money! We all know Laurence’s background and why everything about him is kept secret! We don’t need to read all that to remember. Apparently our memories are better than yours. Are you going to start dragging out repetitions?
3 chapters (if we can call them that) Sonny talking to Laurence. I you have nothing to write end the book
He could only be 4 years old- though we have been reading this book for two years-in the “life” of the characters it has been less time.
Who lets a 4/5 year old dictate where he will live?? How absurd! More wasted gibberish in these tiny chapters.
3 whole chapters about kids wanting baby sisters who were playing in a garden! I can’t!
How is Sonny five? Was Serenity pregnant for two years? It wasn’t too long ago that you mentioned he was three. Why would he need to attend preschool in the fall, if he is five?
