Chapter 5192
As soon as Callia started her vacation, she came over specifically because of the cool weather.Noelle still lent a hand with the work.After tending to the medicinal herbs, the two of them headed back toward the main house ten plus minutes later.In the dining room, only Laurence’s breakfast was set out.Noelle always ate in the kitchen. No matter how many times Laurence spoke to her about it, she still refused to sit at the same table with him for meals.Standing beside the table, Laurence called out in a stern voice with a straight face. “Noelle!”Noelle, who had just been about to eat breakfast, hurried out when she heard him calling.“Where’s your breakfast?”“Mr. Laurence, I’ll eat in the kitchen.”The kitchen was spacious, and there was also a small dining table inside, so eating there was no different.It was just a little warmer inside.Laurence took out his phone, clicked on Chloe’s contact, and started a video call.At this hour, Chloe had not gone to work yet an
Chapter 5191
While Noelle was checking Laurence’s room for intruders, he wanted to say something to her countless times, yet in the end, he did not utter a single word.He simply let her finish the inspection and silently walk out afterward.The two of them clearly lived under the same roof, with their rooms right next to each other, yet at times, he felt as though an endless distance separated them.He knew Noelle had feelings for him, just as he did for her. Yet neither of them had ever pierced through that thin veil between them.His great vengeance remained unresolved, so he did not dare think about matters of love.As for Noelle, she had engraved Doc’s words deeply into her heart and faithfully followed them. Though she loved Laurence deeply, she always positioned herself as a bodyguard, servant, assistant, and the like.She had never once thought about becoming his woman or his wife.It was not only that she lacked courage, but also that she could not cross that psychological barrier.

Laurence said, “You know I don’t like eating that stuff. Why give it to me? I already said it’s for you, so just eat it. Women who eat more supplements usually have much better skin.”Laurence raised his head and looked at Noelle.She had followed him around, with ample wind and sun exposure, yet her skin remained excellent. Firstly, the skincare products she used were high-quality. Secondly, his Aunt Cheryl’s family was in the skincare business, and the products personally developed by them were especially effective. Countless wealthy ladies and daughters of prestigious families purchased from her.Every time he returned to FC Manor, he would ask Aunt Cheryl for some skincare products—some for himself and some for Noelle.Laurence cared a great deal about his appearance as well. He had been handsome and adorable since childhood, and he certainly did not want to become unattractive after turning thirty. So he paid close attention to maintaining himself, and whenever skincare produc
Chapter 5189
Serenity chatted with Callia for more than half an hour. Zachary became a little jealous and said from the side, “Babe, you’ve talked with our daughter longer than you talked with me. I’m going to say our daughter is biased.”Serenity gently pushed him aside and chuckled as she said, “Lil’ Pie, go rest early. Mom’s hanging up now. The older your dad gets, the more childish he becomes.”“Dad just can’t stand seeing you get along so well with us. He wishes you would think about him twenty-four hours a day.”After his daughter exposed him, Zachary said matter-of-factly, “Your mom is the one spending her whole life with me. Of course, I want her to think about me all day. Alright, stop chatting now and hurry off to rest.”Callia wanted to say it was still very early, but in the end, she reluctantly hung up the phone.Meanwhile, Laurence did not get home in Havenmill until ten o’clock that night.The villa he lived in was very large, and the courtyard was designed in a classical garde
Chapter 5188
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

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.
