Reuben was surprised. “Are you going to Bayview Villa?”
“Is there a problem?” Noah looked displeased.
Reuben quickly shook his head. “No, your wish is my command!”
River had called Eira in advance and asked her to prepare a few signature dishes for dinner. She realized she needed to bring her children home as well. Since returning two days ago, she had been so busy she hadn’t had a chance to pick them up After bringing Zeke and Siobhan to Bayview Villa, River tried calling Noah.
Noah didn’t answer her call the first time, so she conversed with Zeke while waiting.
Half an hour later, as River was about to make another call, she heard the sound of a car engine outside The bodyguard entered and said, “Mr. De Marco is here, Ms. Healy.”
River was surprised. “Noah?”
The bodyguard confirmed, “Yes, he brought the children home.”
Zeke, who had been in the living room, frowned slightly upon hearing that. He was aware of Noah and the many stories linking River to him.
Why are River’s children with Noah? Could it be because Noah’s son is friends with River’s kids?”
Zeke wondered.
River met them at the door while Siobhan asked Zeke, “Daddy, are you in a bad mood?”
Zeke smiled and ran his fingers through Siobhan’s hair. “Nah, just lost in thought. Don’t worry.”
Outside, River watched Noah enter the villa with the children.
“Mommy!” Liora rushed to hug River’s leg.
Tyler quipped, “Quit hanging onto Mommy.”
Axel added, “Tyler, Lia’s a girl. Don’t scold her.
Liora shot back at Tyler, “You’re just jealous because you can’t sweet–talk Mommy like I can!”
Tyler was rendered speechless.
River smiled at the kids and asked Noah, “Why did you suddenly bring them here? I was thinking of A Simple Trick To Moles & Warts Goes Viral In Whitechapel Doctor’s Simple Way To Remove A Hanging Belly Works Immediately going over myself.”
Noah’s expression was unpleasant, and his tone was sharp. “Can’t I come here?”
River said, “That’s not what I meant. Why are you speaking so harshly-“
Noah told the children, “It’s cold outside. Get inside!”
The kids cast concerned glances at River before going inside.
River wondered why they looked at her differently.
Noah asked, “Zeke Jung is here, right?”
River nodded. “Yes, why?”
“So, you invited a man you just met into your house?” Noah questioned.
Noah frowned. “Do you know what kind of person he is?”
River realized the reason for Noah’s displeasure and asked, “What are you worried about? Are you concerned he might harm me?”
“You invited him here after knowing him for pnly three days? Are you getting along with Zeke?” Noah A Simple Trick To Moles & Warts Goes Viral In Whitechapel Doctor’s Simple Way To Remove A Hanging Belly Works Immediately River replied, “No. Are you suspecting something between me and him? Noah, he and I are business partners!”
Noah said, “You shouldn’t have so many unnecessary interactions with him in a professional relationship!”
River was frustrated. “Can you be more reasonable? Why do you think so poorly of people? He invited me to his house, so why can’t I invite him to taste Eira’s cooking?”
Noah’s gaze turned cold. “You went to his place?”
River was stunned.
“So, you were at his place when I came to see you at the hotel that night, but you weren’t there?
Noah was visibly angry.
River was taken aback. “You came to see me? When?”
“On your second night in Staten City,” Noah replied.
River remembered Noah telling her to wait for him that night.
‘So he did come,’ she thought.
River explained, “He invited me for a barbecue, but it wasn’t at his place. Why didn’t you text me that you were there?”
Noah sneered. “Seems like Zeke has left quite an impression on you!”
River asked, “What makes you say that?”
“Why would you willingly have a barbecue with him when you never did in the past?” Noah mocked.
“I don’t want to argue anymore! Come in or leave!” River walked away.
Noah followed with a tense expression. He wouldn’t allow an unknown man to stay in River’s house.
Noah entered the living room and made eye contact with Zeke.
Zeke stood up and extended his hand graciously. “I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. De Marco.”
Noah shook his hand courteously. “You have quite a reputation, Mr. Jung.”
River found herself at a loss for words.
“Zeke greeted you kindly, but you chose to mock him,‘ she thought.
River opted to remain silent. Instead, she headed to the kitchen to assist Eira.
aroline opted to remain silent. Instead, she h Meanwhile, Liora observed Siobhan closely and asked, “Are you his daughter?”
Siobhan smiled and replied, “Yes, I’m Siobhan Jung. And you are?”
“I’m Liora Healy! Do you like my name? Liora giggled.
Tyler took a sip of water and teased, “Do you think your name is the best in the world, Lia?”
Liora glared at Tyler. “Must you mock me in front of others?”
Tyler nonchalantly leaned back against the sofa. “Why not?”
Liora gnashed her teeth and sought Axel’s help. “Axel, please rein in your younger brother.”
Axel turned his gaze toward Tyler and urged, Ty, show a bit more consideration for Lia.”
Tyler defended himself, “I’ve always been considerate. Lia, do you have trouble breaking the habit of Guys, Try This Tip Tonight And Never Have To Rely On Viagra Again The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids seeking help when you can’t win an argument?”
Liora’s frustration reached its peak. “I can’t take it anymore!”
She launched herself at Tyler, pinning him down and unleashing a barrage of blows.
Their sudden scuffle took aback Siobhan.
“These two are so… lively,‘ she thought.
Siobhan was engrossed in watching them when Axel apologized, “I’m sorry. My younger brother and sister have outgoing personalities.”
Siobhan turned to Axel, her lips forming a faint smile. “It’s fine. They’re quite entertaining.”
Siobhan’s smile momentarily entranced Axel. He blushed and looked away. “Is that so…”
“Hmm. I wish I had siblings, too, so I wouldn’t be bored at home,” Siobhan mused softly.
Axel offered, “You can come and play with us.”
Siobhan’s eyes held a tinge of regret. “It’s not convenient, though. I’m from Staten City.”
Axel recalled his father mentioning this during the ride home with Reuben. He nodded, unsure of how to Guys, Try This Tip Tonight And Never Have To Rely On Viagra Again The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids respond to Siobhan’s comment.
Tyler finally pushed Liora away, eyeing her with feigned anger. “Could you try to calm down and be more ladylike?”
Liora grumbled, “I’m a lady, too! My anger is your fault!”
Tyler snickered. “You’re scaring her.”
Liora looked at Siobhan with a shocked expression.
Blushing, she asked shyly, “Am I too fierce, Shiv? Did I scare you?”
Siobhan giggled. “Not at all. This is quite fun.”
Tyler observed Siobhan from the side.
‘She exudes elegance, grace, and gentleness, just as the Jung family’s heiress should. But girls like her wouldn’t usually play with someone like me,‘ he thought.
Liora hopped off the sofa and told Axel, “It’s Lego time, Axel.”
Axel nodded and turned to Siobhan, extending a courteous invitation. “Would you like to join us?”
“Can I?” Siobhan blurted out unconsciously.
Realizing her slip, she promptly closed her mouth, lowered her gaze, and blushed.
Tyler, seated next to the Legos, added, “Feel free to join us. No need to be so formal.”
Siobhan’s blush deepened.
Liora stepped forward, taking Siobhan’s hand. “Let’s play, Shiv!”
Siobhan agreed softly, “A–Alright.”
Meanwhile, Noah and Zeke occupied separate sofas.
Noah glanced at Zeke with hostility and asked, “How did you manage to visit Novamere with such a busy schedule, Mr. Jung?”
Zeke replied casually, “I came primarily to see River. She’s a remarkable person worth befriending.”
Noah’s expression turned chilly. ‘Already on a first–name basis, huh?
He sneered. “You can judge someone’s character in just a few days, Mr. Jung?”
Zeke pondered. “Three days might seem short, but how can I run my company if I can’t even judge someone’s character accurately?”
