“I’m just telling the truth. What’s there to be embarrassed about? My grandson is such a young, successful, handsome, and caring man. I wonder which lucky girl will end up with you.”Olivia then asked, “Sonny, are you dating anyone? It’s time to start thinking about it. You’re not getting any younger. When your father was your age, you were already in preschool.”Sonny put down his glass of water and said, “Grandmom, I haven’t met anyone I liked yet. There’s no rush. I’ll get married before I’m thirty-five.”Olivia would ask about his love life every time he came over for dinner. He was used to it.He was already thirty-two. At his age, many men and women were married with children, yet he was still single and had never even been in a relationship before.It was no wonder the elders were worried.Those from his grandparents’ generation typically married much earlier. In their eyes, one should already be thinking about marriage once they hit their twenties. Sonny was still single

That was the only reason Jessica could enjoy such a comfortable life.At home, Luke barely did anything anymore. Everything was Jessica’s job now. Even when a sauce bottle fell over, she would ask Jessica to put it back upright.Even then, Olivia still constantly scolded Jessica for being a poisonous woman and brought up old grievances.She called Jessica a slut, saying that if it were not for Jessica inserting herself into Hank and Liberty’s marriage, Liberty would not have asked for a divorce. Then, they would now be related to the richest family in Wiltspoon by marriage, and the benefits of which were unimaginable.Hank would not have to be a ride-hailing driver, either, and possibly would have become a high-ranking executive at a large company long ago, earning a yearly income in the millions.She even regularly badmouthed Jessica in front of Sonny.Sonny listened, but did not do as his grandmother said.To him, Jessica just had to take good care of his father. If his grandp

“We’re eating together as a family. It’s enough to just throw together a few simple dishes. It’s not like I’m picky.”Sonny looked at Jessica, who felt a little awkward, then said, “Sorry to trouble you again, Jess.”“Oh, it’s no trouble at all, no trouble. I have to buy fresh ingredients to cook every day anyway, and it’s just a couple of extra dishes, so it’s no trouble at all,” Jessica hurriedly said.Ever since she had torn Chelsea a new one in Sonny’s defense, Sonny had become a little more amiable toward her.This child was a forthright one and very sensible. It was all because Liberty had taught him well.Sometimes, Jessica would think of the child she had lost. If she had successfully given birth and not lost the child while having to go to prison, the child would have been entrusted to Hank’s parents to care for. It was hard to say how they would have taught the child.Even Hank could not raise a child well.She sighed internally. She and her child simply were not writt

Sonny laughed. “Yes, yes, I’m working for myself. Alright, I really have got to go now. Talk to you later.”Then, he hung up.He had arrived at Hank’s door.He walked up to it and rang the doorbell.Very soon, his grandmother opened the door.“You’re here, Sonny.”Olivia smiled happily when she saw that it was her precious grandson. She turned to say to Luke, who was sitting on the sofa inside, “Dear, Sonny’s here.”“Grandmom.”Sonny entered their home, then greeted his grandfather.Hank and Jessica came out of the kitchen where they had been preparing dinner.Usually, the family had simple meals, not because they could not afford more luxurious food, but because everyone was getting on in years now and they were afraid of getting high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Luke had blood pressure and uric acid on the higher side, so he had to be careful about his diet.Tonight, Sonny was joining them for dinner, so Jessica had specially bought more food, while Hank had not wo

“Now that you’ve taken over the position of family head, you’re going to hold a banquet, right? Have you chosen the date already? I’m going to Clearfield tomorrow for work, and I might be there for about a week or so. If you’re still picking a date, choose a later one, so that I’ll be able to make it.“We definitely have to attend such an important occasion to support you.”Laurence had taken over the leadership of the Longbottom family and was officially assuming the position of the head of the family. He was definitely going to hold a banquet and invite all the who’s who of Havenmill.His friends and family definitely had to attend, too, not only to support the event but also to back him up and to tell the world he wasn't just an orphan—he actually had plenty of backers.Laurence said, “I’ve not picked a date yet. Don’t worry, it won’t clash with your schedule. You said you were coming back soon, though. Why do you still have to go on a week-long business trip? Are things very bu

“That’s right, Noelle. You have us to back you up, so don’t worry about being looked down on by people. The most important thing is that you don’t look down on yourself.”Noelle was touched beyond words.With Jane’s and Lilian’s reassurances, she felt better.After all, it was not that she did not love Laurence. She just worried that her status was not a match for Laurence’s.“If Laurence tries to give you that necklace again as a symbol of the love between the two of you, just accept it. You deserve it and are certainly worthy of it as well.“As long as Laurence doesn’t look down on you, there’s no need to bother or care about whatever anyone else says. Don’t make things hard on yourself.”Noelle nodded.“Where’s Laurence?”Lilian only thought of her disciple after she managed to persuade Noelle.“He’s preparing dinner. I said I’d do it, but he wouldn’t let me. He said he hadn’t cooked in such a long time that he was about to forget how to cook, and that he had to practice mo

Ok author what’s up with you ? All the women are just so weird it’s frustrating. I’m not saying they have to throw themselves at the men but dam they just so cold . It’s making me rethink finishing this book . I’m annoyed!
Oh haha that’s funny! Thee couple is good for each other.
These interludes with Josh and Jas are some of the most insightful about the back and forth, power play, insecurities of entering a new relationship. Good sub plot.
