Chapter 1116

Author: Gu Lingfei
The clock struck nine.

There were two more hours before the event ended.

Yet, Zachary had come all this way to take his wife home.

Mr. Jefferson smiled and said, “It’s nice that you dropped by, Mr. York. It’s my mother’s eightieth birthday. Can we have the honor of you joining us at the party?”

Without replying to Mr. Jefferson, Zachary uttered in a low voice, “Jim.”

Jim stepped forward with a gift in his hands.

Zachary said, “I’m sorry to bother you. This is a little gift for the birthday girl. I wish nothing but happiness and longevity to your mother.”

Although Zachary did not attend the celebration, he was giving Old Mrs. Jefferson all due respect by preparing a gift.

Jim handed the present to Mr. Jefferson. He accepted the gift and thanked Zachary profusely.

Standing there, Zachary appeared rather dashing. The bouquet looked brilliant under the night light.

Seeing that Zachary had no intentions of coming in, Mr. Jefferson did not insist and told the maid to fet

    Together with the other ladies, Mrs. Stone stood at the entrance of the Jeffersons’ residence and watched as the familiar Rolls Royce drove away. “Mrs. Stone, Mr. York is really good to your niece. We’re only halfway into the party, and he’s here to take your niece home.” Mrs. Stone replied with a smile, “Zachary is good to Seren, so good that us oldies are jealous too.” One of the ladies next to Mrs. Stone probed, “When are Mr. York and your niece planning for a wedding? It’ll be nice for us to join the celebration.” Mrs. Stone curled her lips and remarked, “My older niece, my husband, and I went to Wildridge Manor two days ago. We were there to discuss the wedding. We got a date pick in early fall, so it’s a few months till the wedding. Don’t worry. You are all invited. Don’t forget to bring a gift.” The ladies replied with smiles, “Of course.” It was an honor to be invited by the York family. No one would pass up on rubbing shoulders with the Yorks. In fact, many wante

    Of course, Zachary would not go crazy for Serenity if he could easily have her swoon over him. Zachary was brought back to what Mrs. Lane said to him. He loved the person Serenity was now. Serenity would not be the same person he fell in love with if she changed. Such was her personality. “I don’t have a love rival. I’ll be jealous if I have a strong love rival who’s eyeing you. I would worry that someone will steal you away from me. I’m not that great after all.” Serenity spoke matter-of-factly—she had no rivals in love. Sure, there were many women who coveted him. However, these women could not even take the first step to confess their feelings to Zachary. It was not like Serenity ever met these women either. There had never been catfights. Her love life had been smooth sailing as she monopolized all of Zachary’s affection. He gave her all of his love and affection. With that in mind, Serenity believed she was a lucky woman. She got someone who loved her! Serenity

    “Where are we going?” The couple indulged in a little romance until Serenity realized that they were not en route to Brynfield. “To the villa on the hilltop.” “Oh,” Serenity remarked. Zachary stared at her with a worried look, afraid she might be displeased or not like it. The villa on the hilltop did not leave Serenity the best of memories. Zachary held Serenity captive in the estate for two days after the revelation of his identity. He was afraid to lose her, but it took everybody to talk sense into him before he could let go and allow her to leave. Since the day she set foot out of the villa, Serenity had never returned to the place. “Seren, we don’t have to go if you don’t like it there. I’ll get the driver to switch course for Brynfield.” After a pause, he mumbled under his breath, “Nana is still staying in Brynfield.” Serenity replied, “We can go to the villa on the hilltop. No need to switch routes.” The guy must think that he might startle Grandma May in B

    Mrs. Newman would have everything sorted if they were faced with an ordinary person. It was a different story because the person they were targeting was Mrs. York. “No. Did Mr. Newman come looking for you?” “Yes. He came with gifts to apologize again, but I wouldn’t meet with him. I told Callum to handle it.” Since Callum would have to engage with the Newmans in the near future, he could use the practice by dealing with the matter. Poor Callum. “I wouldn’t be so kind as to forgive Carrie even if Mrs. Newman came to me. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to myself.“The feud between Carrie and I is past reconciliation.” Serenity took Camryn’s side too, and Carrie had it in for Camryn. The fact that they took different stands determined that they were on opposing sides. “No need to patch things up with her. She’s spoiled and thinks she should get her way in everything. She’ll always hold a grudge even if you forgive her. She’ll get even with you every chance she gets

    Zachary gave it a thought before saying, “It sounds like a good plan. The DNA test is the most direct approach and compelling evidence.“I’ll send someone to bring him here. You can get a DNA test with him. You can slam the evidence in their face during the trial unless Noah isn’t their grandson.” Serenity said, “Um… What if Noah isn’t their grandson…” Zachary was speechless. The couple’s minds went blank. In the end, Zachary said, “Just get a DNA test with your grandfather. The old man is not going to cooperate for sure. Here’s where Noah can come into place. He can get a few strands of hair from your grandfather. The hair follicles have to be intact to do the DNA test.” The DNA test did not always have to be done with blood. Noah was the youngest grandson in the Hunt family. Serenity had roughened the boy up a couple of times to the point Noah revered Serenity now. It was a great opportunity to use him. Believing that Zachary’s plan was doable, Serenity remarked, “We’l

    Sam replied, “Thank you for the heads-up, Cecilia. Mr. Zachary wouldn’t be happy if I went in.“Is the bedroom arranged according to Mr. Zachary’s instruction?” “It’s all done to give the romantic feel. I can guarantee the missus will have a great experience, and they will take their relationship up a notch.” Mrs. Lane replied expectantly, “I hope we’ll hear some good news from the missus soon.” Mr. Zachary had been working hard. “You can talk about it with me, but don’t bring this up to the missus. We don’t want her to feel the pressure. Mr. Zachary has not been together with the missus for a long time. They might want to have some alone time before adding a family member.” Although Sam looked forward to the missus carrying a child, employees like themselves had no right to rush the couple if they wanted to enjoy a few years without kids. Mrs. Lane said, “I know. I won’t say such a thing in front of the missus. More than anything else, I hope the missus and Mr. Zachary wi

    “Sure,” Zachary dotingly responded. Serenity put the bouquet on the coffee table and pulled out her phone to capture the romance in the room, preserving Zachary’s love for her in a digital form. After Serenity took photos and videos, the couple took a few more together. Serenity was over the moon. “Take a look upstairs.” Serenity said with a smile, “Did you decorate the room like this too? It must be beautiful and romantic. I’m so glad.” Zachary grinned without a word as he took her by the hand upstairs. Serenity was right. The red carpet extended to their bedroom door. Pushing the bedroom door open, Serenity could not stop herself from smiling. The setup in the room was no different from downstairs, but the love language was written in the air. A glass of wine in this sensual room would push the flames of desire to an all-time high. It was a night of pleasure and intimacy. With the sun rising in the east, the break of dawn took over the night and welcomed a new d

    Well, Grandma May was occupied getting her other grandsons to ditch the singlehood. Inspired by her first successful matchmaking, the old lady wanted to keep the momentum going and put her other grandsons, who were at the right age to marry but stayed single anyway, on the market. All that was left to do then was to wait for the birth of her great-granddaughter. A reward of five hundred million dollars would be given to the one who would give her a great-granddaughter! Zachary had a moment to himself as he finished his breakfast and read the paper for fifteen minutes on the sofa in the living room. He then got up and walked out of the house to get to work. Prior to leaving, he reminded Mrs. Lane to take good care of Serenity. By the worried look on his face, Mrs. Lane was tempted to suggest he brought Serenity to work with him. “Jim.” Before getting into the car, Zachary suddenly told Jim, “You don’t have to follow me today. I need you to do something for me. Go to the Hu

    “A baby’s face changes almost every day. We’ll only know who he takes after when he’s a little older.”Serenity agreed. “I should call Elisa and share this news with her.”Jasmine probably did not have time to tell her friends about her newborn. Serenity also forgot to inform Elisa because she was too worried about Jasmine. Zachary told her to call Elisa only after they were inside the car. There were too many people in the hospital. Serenity held back her excitement and immediately called Elisa when she got in the car. Elisa was extremely busy at the company. She was the only one who could manage their joint company at that moment because Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they wanted to return to the company to work, Elisa would not allow them. Rest was of utmost importance for pregnant women. Elisa was unmarried and not pregnant. She did not mind being busier. She only picked up Serenity’s call after some time.“Seren.”Elisa held the phone in her left h

    “All that matters is that you’re okay, honey. Let’s not have more children. We’ll just have this one son.”Josh spoke while holding Jasmine’s hand.Women had to experience immense pain when giving birth. It came with many risks as well. Josh had heard other people saying that a woman usually had one foot in the grave during childbirth.He was genuinely shocked after accompanying Jasmine through her labor. He had been terrified and worried that something would happen to Jasmine.Luckily, everything ended well. Jasmine and their son were safe. However, Josh did not want to experience something like that again. Having one child was enough. There was no need for a second or third child. The Buchams were a big family anyway. He did not have to bear the responsibility of expanding the family alone.“Okay. We shall not have another baby.”Although Jasmine was brimming with motherly love and recovery from a vaginal delivery was quicker, she still thought childbirth was too

    It was not just Camila. The rest of the people there also had the same thought. Josh and Jasmine had a great relationship. If something happened to Jasmine, Josh would be devastated and lose all hope of living.“Congratulations. The mother has given birth to a boy safely. The baby boy is six pounds and three ounces.”The people who brought Josh out were the anesthetist and nurse.The nurse instinctively reported the good news when she saw the crowd.Then, she explained, “The father probably fainted from shock after the baby was born. Come over and help bring him to the side to rest. The mother won’t be out that quickly.”Upon hearing her words, everyone’s mood brightened up.Camila, whose legs felt weak just now, was immediately filled with strength and stood up. Without Drake's help, she went to the nurse and asked, “Does the baby need to be in the incubator since he was born prematurely?”The nurse replied, “We’ll put the baby in the incubator and observe him for a while. If

    Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain.

    With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the

    People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe

    Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

    Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

    “Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.
