The Flynns and the Remington Group had no business relations and neither were they rivals in the industry, hence Estelle assumed that Skyler and Zion would not have crossed paths. If not, Paige’s identity would be exposed. However, seeing the look on Skyler’s face now, Skyler seems to be acquainted with Zion. “I’ve never met him personally, but I know his family quite well,” Skyler started bringing up the past, “do you remember the Johnsons? My family knows them quite well and our parents were good friends with one another. Zion is one of the Johnsons.”For the Johnsons to be on good terms with the Flynns, Estelle thought that the Johnsons must have had a good background and they were now among one of the most respectable and reputable families in the H city. Zion belonged to one of the influential families that decided to join the Remington Group as the managing director instead of taking over his family business, and this made Estelle wonder. Feeling astonished, Estelle’s eyes w
It would be of great help for those who were incapable to stay and did not do anything. If Yoel had any sense left in him, he had better be in hiding so Zion would not be able to locate him. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure that he stays well hidden,” Skyler said thoughtfully. One look at Skyler and Estelle knew he had in mind. She then asked, “Are you planning on doing the same to Zion as well?”“I might need to be extra cautious with Zion,” Skyler somewhat admired Zion’s ambitiousness. He said, “I’ll test the waters but if Paige ever asks for help, I won’t sit back and do nothing.”The both of them finally agreed and continued watching the stars while leaning against each other.Not long after, Estelle took the flask from Skyler’s hands and took a sip of water. She then got up and said, “I’m getting a bit hungry from all the talk. I’ll go fix us some supper, you stay here. Would you like anything to eat?”“Let me give you a hand. What are you planning to make?” Skyler got up on
“Let’s get to it after I get the check-up at the hospital.”The more she thought about how she felt back when she was pregnant with her kids, the more she was sure that she could be pregnant again. She let out a wistful sigh as she thought about how she was easily pregnant with Elio and Ayla after spending a night with Skyler. Since they spent a lot of time together of late, the chances of her being pregnant were high.Thinking about that, Estelle wanted to forbid Skyler from being clingy to her but she could not bring herself to say it as she too felt happy. Hence, she simply pulled into a smile with mixed feelings of helplessness and excitement. Seeing how she was hesitant, Skyler thought that Estelle might be feeling unwell. He then asked carefully, “Let’s get you to the hospital tomorrow, shall we?”Estelle nodded but soon realized that the next day was a working day. She then asked, “What about your work then?”Skyler was excited that Estelle agreed to go for the check-up wi
Estelle immediately became the center of attention of her family as soon as the news about her pregnancy was confirmed. She and Skyler moved back into the Flynns’ old residence and she was treated with the utmost care to the point where she started feeling slightly uncomfortable. One afternoon, Aunt Frances decided to make her hot soup just because the weather turned cold. She even checked on the soup from time to time to make sure that the soup stayed warm. Seeing how Aunt Frances moved back and forth into the kitchen, Estelle was worried for her and finally said, “Aunt Frances, to be honest, I’m not craving soup.”“Huh, Miss Sanders? Are you starting to lose your appetite? This is bad! If you’re losing your appetite in the first month of your pregnancy, it’d be hard for the following months,” Aunt Frances misunderstood Estelle’s intentions and started worrying, “I’ll prepare some of your favorite appetizers for dinner tonight, okay?”Before Estelle could even reply to her, Aunt
Estelle was puzzled after hearing Uncle Davis’ words. She gave up on insisting to pick up the kids and went upstairs to the terrace instead. It was then that she realized that there was a newly built sunroom with star-themed decorations and a telescope in it. Skyler was considerate and thoughtful. Not only did he make sure that Estelle was well taken care of in her daily life, but he also made sure that she received the best entertainment for her to pass time. Estelle felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in her heart. After spending a few moments on the terrace with the slightly cold breeze embracing her, Estelle returned to the living room and that was when the door was unlocked. It was Skyler who returned home from work. Recently, he enjoyed working at home rather than working overtime in the office. “I’m home,” Skyler changed into the house slippers and flashed a charming smile at Estelle before walking toward Estelle to pull her into a hug. He then asked, “How are you feeling?”Est
Kids at their age were curious about where they came from and the science books they read only described birth rather vaguely and briefly. “Well, I’m not too sure about this,” Elio rushed over to Uncle Davis who walked out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes in his hands and asked, “Uncle Davis, do you know where we came from?”“Huh?” With an awkward expression, Uncle Davis put down the plate and asked, “why are you suddenly talking about this?”“Because we’re getting another younger sibling soon,” replied Elio. The two girls then joined Elio. With the kids staring at him with a curious look on their faces, Uncle Davis got even nervous. “Erm...about that…” Uncle Davis stuttered for a while as he looked around frantically trying to come up with an answer. His gaze landed on the wall and he quickly changed the topic. “I just remembered that Aunt Frances needed more condiments, I’ll have to have a look at the pantry, if not, I need to head out to buy more.”Uncle Davis then charg
Upon seeing how the conversation took a big turn, Skyler hurriedly added, “Before we visit the zoo, you kids should have your dinner first. Uncle Davis and Aunt Frances already prepared dinner. If we waste food, we’ll go back to being a monkey too.”Skyler put what the kids learned from their mom’s story to good use and successfully convinced the kids to sit down at the dining table and have their dinner. He then winked at Estelle. Estelle could not help but sigh in relief as she managed to overcome this obstacle for now. She then whispered to Skyler, “The kids are still young, you should be careful with what you say to them.”“To be fair, Elio’s almost ten and it’s time we had this talk with him,” with a serious expression, Skyler explained, “Elio would be put in charge to lead the Flynns soon, and if he isn’t educated in time, it’d be troublesome if he gets tricked.”For the entire night, Estelle was bothered by what Skyler said to her. She was still bothered by it when she wa
Upon the mention of Skyler, Uncle Davis put down the watering can and said, “I’m free, let’s talk on the sofa. I know Skyler well.”“Thanks,” Estelle sat down and munched on some cookies while asking, “were there any other girls who…”Uncle Davis figured out what she wanted to ask right away and burst into laughter. “There were a few who were interested in him, but none of them pursued him.”“Really?”“Back then Skyler already announced that he was taken and added that those who were planning to go after him should be prepared to face the consequences. Well, everyone pretty much knows how Skyler is anyway.”Back then, Skyler was only sixteen. However, he was already full of himself…Uncle Davis started reminiscing about the past as he added, “I remembered when Skyler’s grandpa and parents were still around… They were relieved and proud to see Skyler being responsible for his own relationship matters at a young age. So, they rejected all the marriage proposals from other familie
