Chapter 10

Author: Gu Lingfei
Serenity went to Liberty’s place.

She opened the door and went inside the house to find her sister was already up. Liberty was busy in the kitchen.

“Liberty.”

“Seren, you’re here.”

Liberty came out of the kitchen and was happy to see her little sister. “Have you eaten? I’m making a pot of pasta. Do you want a plate?”

“I’m good. I had breakfast. Have you started cooking? You don’t have to if you haven’t because I brought you and Sonny breakfast.”

“Not yet. Sonny had a fever last night. I didn’t sleep much the whole night, so I got up late. Your brother-in-law had to get breakfast from the shop. He wasn’t happy about it. He accused me of doing nothing all day and I could’ve made him breakfast since all I did was look after a child.”

Liberty was hurt.

Serenity was furious for her sake. “Why did Sonny have a fever? You should take him to see a doctor later even if the fever’s gone in case it comes back. Seriously. I can’t believe Hank didn’t bother to help and even yelled at you when Sonny was sick.

“Is Hank still insisting on going Dutch after I moved out, Liberty?”

Liberty took a seat on the sofa and unwrapped the food. She dug in and said, “I’ll take Sonny later. He’s still insisting on splitting the expenses. He said that all I do is spend money rather than earn my keep. He mentioned that I have no idea the pressure he’s under. As part of the family, I should contribute to the household expenses.

“I bet his sister taught him that. My sister-in-law can’t stop poking her face into our affairs after we got married. Hank used to be good to me, and his sister ruined that.”

Prior to handing in her resignation letter, Liberty worked her way up to the financial chief position. She was paid handsomely. Liberty gave up a lot for love and marriage but received hate from her in-laws in return.

Liberty only spent her money on the home. The clothes she bought were with Serenity’s money. The shopping only came once in a while, and buying things like cosmetics were less frequent than new clothes.

However, her in-laws would kick up a fuss about Liberty’s spending whenever she bought new clothes and cosmetics. Even if Liberty explained that it was with Serenity’s money, her in-laws would argue the gifted money was a joint asset with her husband, so she had no right to use it for herself.

“Liberty, why don’t you send Sonny to a kindergarten? You can pick up your career again and earn as much as, if not more than your husband.”

Serenity felt sorry for her sister.

While Serenity was living under the same roof with her sister and family, Serenity would take on all the housework to help her sister out. Now that she had moved out, Liberty got more on her plate.

“Hank said to wait until Sonny is three or four before enrolling him in a kindergarten.” Liberty was interested to return to the workplace. If nothing else, the burden of a car loan, mortgage, and elderly care was weighing heavily on the family.”

Serenity frowned as she sensed that Hank was treating Liberty like cr*p, and it was only getting worse. Serenity had to ask, “Do you think my brother-in-law is seeing someone else?”

Startled, Liberty uttered, “I don’t think so. I know how much he’s making. He doesn’t have extra money to keep a mistress.”

“But he’s been increasingly rude to you. You must think about your future. Don’t be a misunderstood stay-at-home mom without an income.”

Liberty fell silent for a moment before stating, “We’ll see. Don’t worry about me, Seren. I’ll be okay. How are you doing? When is your husband coming back from his trip?”

“It’ll be a while. He can be busy since he’s working in a major corporation.”

Liberty inquired about Serenity’s life at the new home in detail. She was able to relax once she was sure her little sister was doing well.

Now that Serenity had spent some time with her nephew, Liberty urged her to get back to the shop.

While riding her e-bike to the bookshop, Serenity reflected on her sister’s life of endless bickering. Distracted, Serenity failed to pay attention to her surroundings and nearly rammed into a car. With her fight-or-flight instincts kicking in, Serenity swerved to the side and narrowly missed the car. At the same time, she hit the brakes.

The car also came to a screeching halt.

Serenity glanced at the car. It was a Roll Royce, a luxury sedan!

Behind the Rolls Royce was a row of identical vehicles. The people in those cars must be the bodyguards of the person in the luxury sedan.

Since Wiltspoon was a metropolis, luxury sedans were not a rare sight.

Serenity made a gesture of apology to the driver before starting her e-bike and slipping away.

There was no way she was going to wait to be yelled at.

The driver turned his head over to the man in black in the backseat. “Mr. Zachary, it’s the missus.”

Zachary’s face fell as he clearly witnessed Serenity almost knocking onto his car. She was obviously distracted. To have an absent mind while riding on a busy road, was she trying to get herself killed?

    It was only right to be polite for her first meeting with River’s parents. River had also given her family members gifts when he attended her family gathering and met her parents. As a result, her family and relatives ended up speaking highly of him. After entering the house, Serenity let River lead the way. He brought Rosalie to Grandma May. “Nana.”He greeted Grandma May and said, “This is Rosalie, Nana. She’s my girlfriend. I brought her back to let you have a look at her.”Grandma May had a kind smile on her face.“I finally get to meet you, Rosalie. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you ever since Serenity told me about you.”Rosalie grinned. “I’m usually very busy, so I really couldn’t take time out to come over for a visit.”“It’s okay. I know you youngsters are busy. Work is important.”Next, River introduced his parents and uncles to Rosalie. After she greeted all of them, he continued with his brothers and sisters-in-law.Rosalie was used to River’s good l

    Despite being doted on a lot, Callia was a polite child. With an outstanding mother like Serenity educating her, Callia would grow up to be an excellent person in the future instead of being spoiled rotten. “Miss you too.”Callia hugged Rosalie’s neck tightly. She even pecked Rosalie’s cheek, which made Rosalie’s heart soften.Whenever she saw Callia, she had the urge to give birth to a daughter as adorable as Callia, too.“Aunt Rose, sister. My sister.”Callia introduced Rosalie to Jeanne, who greeted her. Jeanne was much more fluent in speech compared to Callia. As expected, her being half a year older made quite a huge difference. Rosalie squatted down and reached out her hands to pull Jeanne into her arms.She smiled and told River, “I’m overwhelmed by the children’s cuteness.”River pretended to sound jealous. He said, “See? My niece and nephews are revolving around you. Even I, their uncle, have to step aside.“You’re too cruel, Lil’ Pie. You asked Rosalie to c

    “Unfortunately, my gramps is no longer alive. I wasn’t even twenty when he passed away. Now, I’m thirty-one, and he’s been gone for over a decade.”River missed his grandfather dearly upon mentioning him. Aside from Rowan, who was unable to spend much time with Gramps, the other York brothers were extremely close to their grandparents. Although the old man prioritized Zachary more, he still treated the rest of them well. Their gramps would educate each of them in different ways. He said they had distinct personalities and strengths.Zachary was the only one who had to learn more. Since he was the successor, he had to be all-rounded and resourceful. For example, he had to be good at assigning the right people to the right tasks. Gramps had said that by being resourceful and trusting the right people, Zachary would simply have to sit back and oversee everything. “Gramps’s biggest regret was not being able to witness us getting married. Zachary had been twenty-six when Gramps

    Grandma May was extremely approachable. She could switch between being an elegant and noble lady and a down-to-earth, ordinary old woman. While she enjoyed rare delicacies, she could also accept simple food.Rosalie said, “The land my family owns has been developed into commercial buildings or housing. We’ve never used them to plant flowers and trees like your family does.”River gestured at the driver to continue driving.He said, “Our manor is far from the city center. You might’ve noticed this along the way, but there aren’t many people who live nearby. Even if there are, they’re mostly families like ours.“My nana said it’d be a shame to disrupt such a peaceful place. That was why we didn’t build any buildings or houses on our land. Besides, ordinary people wouldn’t want to live here because it’s too far from the city.“It’ll be inconvenient for them to travel to work. Unlike us, most people don’t have flexible working hours. No one will criticize us even if we’re late to

    “Are your brothers easy to get along with?” Rosalie asked. Each York gentleman was unique, not to mention that most of them were cousins and not biological brothers.Rosalie was worried that River’s brothers and sisters-in-law would be difficult to get along with. Ah, she did not expect there would come a day when she would feel unconfident. She cared about River, so she hoped his family would like her, too.“My brothers and sisters-in-law are very friendly. I know you’ll still feel worried no matter what I say, so you can see for yourself when you arrive at my house.”Although River kept reassuring Rosalie, she still felt anxious.Since they were almost arriving, he would let her experience it for herself.Rosalie smiled. “I never thought I’d feel nervous one day. It’s your fault for making me fall in love with you, River.”River stared at her affectionately. “You also stole my heart, but I was confident when I met your family and relatives. I wasn’t nervous at all.“Besi

    Before River brought Rosalie back to Wiltspoon, he had already met all of Rosalie’s relatives and friends. In fact, many of them already knew him.It was just that now he was Rosalie’s boyfriend.The transition from rival to boyfriend meant that Rosalie’s relatives and friends needed to get to know him all over again.“There’s no need to be so nervous. They won’t bite. Don’t worry, I guarantee my family will like you.“Think of Lil’ Pie. She likes you so much. Serenity said that when Lil’ Pie woke up this morning, she was already talking about you.”In reality, River was worried Rosalie would be nervous, so he had specifically called Serenity to ask her not to take Lil’ Pie out but keep her at home instead. This was so Rosalie would have someone familiar to interact with who could make her relax a bit.Even Lil’ Bun was not out playing. He was staying obediently at home, waiting for Rosalie’s arrival.Heath felt that the adult world changed really fast.From the time his mother
