Maddie stopped trying to run the shops after failing to manage them well, so she simply rented them out, earning a living from rentals.Either way, she did not need the money. Kaden would give her a monthly allowance for household expenses, which was enough. She was also able to withdraw a considerable amount every month from the family trust fund, and her daughter would give her some money from time to time too.Even if she closed down the small companies and lived off the money Kaden and Everly gave her, she would still be able to maintain a luxurious lifestyle.Her in-laws were well-off, and her daughter was their only scion. In the future, all of it would be her daughter’s. Everly might not listen to her, but she would not abandon Maddie and would definitely take care of her mother in her old age.That was why Maddie could not be bothered to mess around with a business. After all, it was said that the fastest road to ruin was starting a business. She did not want to be the mada

Traffic was light late into the night. They arrived at the Flemming residence after about ten minutes or so.Sonny parked the car but did not honk. It was late, and the neighbors had gone to bed. Honking would have disturbed them.Outdoor lamps lit up the yard, and the lights were still on in the main building. Sonny guessed Kaden had not gone to sleep yet and was waiting for his granddaughter’s return.He turned to wake Everly. “Ms. Flemming, we’re here.”Everly woke up almost immediately. She said after taking a look, “Press the doorbell, and someone should come out to open the gate. We have live-in domestic staff.”The Flemmings had few family members, but the house was huge. If only three people lived there without live-in employees, it felt too empty.Everly was about to get out of the car, but Sonny already took off his seatbelt and got out first.He pressed the doorbell.Very soon, someone came to open the gate.When he saw it was Sonny sending Everly back home, the emp

Meanwhile, the beautifully dressed Everly had also shattered people’s preconceptions about her, and many men sidled over to say hi to her, get her number, and offer their name cards.Everly did not give out her number and only accepted the name cards, which she received many of in one night; not more than Sonny, though.Once the banquet ended and they got into the car, Everly told Sonny, “This is the first time I’ve ever been this popular with the opposite sex, after all these years of attending all sorts of events with my grandfather.”Sonny chuckled as he drove. “You weren’t as unapproachable tonight, so everyone became a little bit braver, mainly because you really are beautiful tonight.”“Am I usually that unapproachable?”“Quite. Definitely couldn’t call you approachable.”Everly thought for a moment, then admitted, “Maybe I was a little unapproachable. I’m just used to putting on a stern face because of work, so it gave people the impression I was standoffish.”It was more

Harrison led Everly and Sonny into the house and went straight to Arndt.Arndt was a little younger than Kaden and still in excellent health. Dressed in a suit, he looked no older than his early sixties.Several of Clearfield’s big names in the business world were gathered around him. They were all considerably younger than Arndt and treated him with the utmost respect. The Lang family’s standing in Clearfield was on par with the Flemmings.The Lang family was much larger too. Arndt had three sons and two daughters, and his children had given him more than a dozen grandchildren.Kaden had always been envious of this old friend of his. He envied Arndt’s large family. In the Flemming family, he only had one child, and Everly was his only grandchild.Arndt’s grandsons were far too young to be a match for Everly. Otherwise, the two families might have become in-laws. Kaden had even joked that the Langs would bring liveliness to the Flemming family as well.After visiting the Yorks in

The Lang residence was not far from Flemming Group. Under normal traffic conditions, it would take only about ten minutes by car. However, they had left during rush hour, and the traffic was horrible. A journey that should have taken ten minutes ended up taking almost an hour.Whenever Sonny came to Clearfield in the past, it had always been for business. He would arrive, deal with whatever needed handling, and leave as soon as it was done. It was his first time attending a high-society gathering here.He barely knew any of the major business figures in Clearfield. Unless their companies had worked with his, he might have heard some of their names, but he had never met them in person.On the other hand, Everly was a local. She had accompanied Kaden to all sorts of events since she was young and was familiar with practically everyone.When their car entered the Lang estate, Harrison, the butler, was directing traffic and guiding guests into parking spots. Upon seeing Sonny's car lic

Sonny stepped out and opened the car door for Everly, saying, "You're wearing a gown and heels, so don't drive. I'll be your chauffeur tonight."The car he used in Clearfield was provided by the company.Everly said, "I have a driver."However, she still got into Sonny's car.Right as Sonny got in too, she said, "If we don't bring my driver, then one of us can't drink tonight.""I won't drink. I'll drive us. Tonight's banquet was originally an invitation for your family. I'm only filling in for someone else. Not many people know me anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I drink or not."It's only awkward to refuse a drink if it's offered by someone close.”Sonny drove while continuing, "With me around, you don't have to worry. Even if you get drunk, I'll make sure you get home safely."He would be her escort today.Everly smiled. "I don't usually drink much anyway. A few sips at most. No one dares force me to drink. Even if I actually got drunk, no one would dare to do anything

I feel stressed up too by these two people. It's two people with two different characters strangled in a web of frustration with no one wanting to give up from each other. And very funny they both love each other, but have to display their egos first. What I like is Serenit is going to cool down.
This was a good opportunity for Serenity to be pregnant instead of dragging this out. I know she’ll have issues getting pregnant. Omg
Omggggggg I’m so sad ...!!!
I don’t love the violence from seren she’s too sweet to and so is he to fit to treat him like that. I just wish she tells him how she’s feels and they talk it out and I hope she’s pregnant
it is distressing to start a story then get stuck with waiting for the other chapters to come out.. too long waiting time makes one lose interest in the story... focus on the main characters Zachary and serenity, the other characters story be written as s separate one..
fellow readers: l highly doubt that this book will end anytime soon. There are several books on this app that r similar to this one & also being dragged for the sake of money. it seems to me that they watch how popular the book will get & made sure all of us "readers" are hooked then drag the story
Just let Seren cool off and she and Zachary have a happy ending with a grand wedding and pregnancy cause the way it’s going the story is going to drag on and become uninteresting
to the author. please don't ruin the image of the main character Zachary. it started being a romantic comedy and getting darker as we are going through the end. I am losing interest and being angered the way the story is heading to.
I’m invested …. Hurry and write more!!!!
I agree Dawn. If this drama continues for many more chapters I’m done with this book. I knew Serenity would be upset, but this level of chaos and abuse is not ok. They need to talk it out and make up.
Too much irrelevant line, please get to the point, I hope it is a happy ending between Zack and serenity
I agree no enjoyment anymore now stressful reading. I liked they way it was well developed, but light reading it was enjoyable. I don’t understand why it had to turn dark.
this book indeed started good light to read however now its becoming more dramatic and becoming stressful to read
Let’s hope we get the ending we want
Good bye not going to be going with this junk storyline. Too much money also
this is sad they both are in pain watch she is going be pregnant and leave he is going to be miserable and she is too she is stubborn and so is he her cousin is going to dislike I bet people start to plot against her.
This is terrible author why did you have to be so dramatic, I don’t think I can enjoy your book anymore. So sad your book was great to this point now it’s like all the others over the top and ridiculous. I liked your steady characters and they were realistic, but you ruined it.
I’m scared to continue reading, I didn’t think it would go like this
These authors get you in but them write the same trashy lines. Can’t you write something happy in this troubled world. Violence isn’t the answer. Rethink the story line if you want our money
This was painful to read. Both of them are out of control and Zachary handled it horribly. Knocking her out…there was way too much domestic violence by both of them. This setback is going to be difficult to overcome.
