Zachary’s scorching lips could touch Serenity’s cheek if she cocked her head back. Putting down the flowers, Serenity stripped his arms from around her, stood up, and turned around to meet him face-to-face. “I asked. Shawn came back because his mother wasn’t feeling well. He took two days off and combined with the weekend, he had four days to visit his mom.“He thought about dropping in to see Jas since he was passing by the bookshop. He didn’t come for me.“Jas told me that Shawn called her before coming to see if I was at the shop. He only came when he was sure I was not there. I ran into him when he was about to leave. We didn’t talk for more than five minutes.“Harry and Milo were outside watching. You know your bodyguards will be on your side if anything does happen.” Serenity helplessly pinched his face. “Oh, you. You’re always jealous. I told you that I see Shawn as a younger brother. I don’t have that kind of feeling for him.” Taking her pinching hand, Zachary leaned

Zachary asked. “We need to deliver some poultry to my sister, so we should leave now.” Her sister might be asleep if they went too late. The last thing they wanted was to wake Liberty up. Serenity closed the shop and got into Zachary’s car while the bodyguards took her car back.During the ride, she asked Zachary, “Any news on the kidnapping at the zoo? Was it not the Newmans?” Zachary took a moment in silence before answering, “The only thing confirmed is that Mr. Newman wasn’t in on it.” “If it wasn’t him, was it Mrs. Newman?” He mentioned nothing about Mrs. Newman. “Josh is still investigating. Nothing is concrete for now, but we have our eyes on Mrs. Newman.” Zachary had believed the prime target was him right from the start. After a series of investigations though, he realized that the mastermind was after Serenity, not him. Since Mrs. Newman and her daughter had a grudge against Serenity, they zeroed in on Mrs. Newman. “Mr. Newman and his wife seem to have a lo

Holding Serenity in his arms, Zachary lovingly uttered, “I can make time once I’m done with the tasks at hand. I’ll take you to visit Ben and his wife. Ben carries his mom’s last name too.” Zachary whispered in Serenity’s ear, “You’re the heroine of a book too, honey. Everybody wants to be you.” Serenity nudged him away. He would always breathe hot air into her ear along with his whispers. The sensation stirred activity in her loins and tempted her to jump him. The couple returned to the home at Brynfield after delivering the eggs and poultry to Liberty. Mrs. Lane was home. She brought over the couple’s pets. She had been looking after the animals, and now she was back at Brynfield. The moment the door was opened, Snowball came running wagging its tail. Serenity was startled. At a closer look, she squatted and stroked Snowball’s head. She said to Zachary, “How did Snowball get so big?” Zachary was not keen on little animals. He only allowed pets at home because he loved

“A grandson-trolling nana.” Serenity defended Grandma May. “How did Nana troll you? Everything she does is for your own good. Tell me. How did she troll you?” She gave Zachary a tiny shove, but Zachary caught her by the wrist. “Seren, you have not washed your hands after touching the dog. Go and wash your hands. Don’t use your grubby hands of dog fur to touch and push me. You know I can’t stand the fur.” Serenity was lost for words.Mrs. Lane said with a smile, “Go on and wash your hands, missus. I made you supper. You can have your supper when your hands are clean.” The mention of food was enough for Serenity to let her man off the hook this time. Retrieving her hand from Zachary’s grasp, Serenity got up to wash her hands. While cleaning her hands, she asked. “What did you make me, Mrs. Lane?” “Your favorite.” Mrs. Lane gestured for Snowball to retreat to its doggie pen. Snowball was a smart dog. Knowing that its charms could not rub off on its male owner, it did not

After Duncan scared Jessica away, he looked at the closed door and pulled out his phone to call Liberty. It did not take long for Liberty to accept the call. “Why aren’t you open today, Liberty?” Duncan came off a bit harsh. “Seren and I are off to take care of some stuff in our hometown. I’m closed for the day to resolve the ownership issue with our parents’ home today. What’s the matter?” Duncan asked, “Oh. Is it going to be resolved today? Do you need to go to court?” He could give a hand if Liberty wanted to take the Hunt family to court. “We’re settling it out of court. I got to go, Mr. Lewis. Talk soon.” “Sure.” Duncan hung up the call. Why did he not receive any news about Liberty’s home issue being resolved? She did not tell him anything. Come to think of it, why would she tell him? He was not anybody to her. She had no obligation to talk to him about her personal matters. With that in mind, Duncan felt a lot better. Since All You Can Eat was not op

For personal and professional reasons, Duncan could not tell Lily to get out. “I guess you must not have breakfast yet, Duncan.” Lily drew close with a smile and put the food containers on Duncan’s desk. “Mrs. Lewis told me to bring them to you. She said you often sleep late and wake up late, so you don’t have time to eat. Mrs. Lewis told me to bring you breakfast when she found out that I was going to meet you.“I was driving behind you just now. I saw you going to a diner called All You Can Eat. Do you usually have breakfast there?” She should try the food there sometime. Was the food that good? Lily wondered whether Duncan was at the diner for the food or the operator. “Ms. Harmon, my schedule is full for the day, so I don’t have time to discuss a partnership today. I need to get to a meeting in a minute.” “I’ll book a time with the secretary later. We can talk business when you have time. What time is your meeting?” “Nine o’clock.” Lily looked at the time. Ten more

Lily knew Duncan would say that. She uttered with a smile, “Duncan, Mrs. Lewis wants you to go with her. I can’t replace you. I’m only the daughter of Mrs. Lewis’s friend anyway. I’m not family.“I’m not keen on social events either, but we don’t have a choice most of the time. We have to fulfill our obligations.” Duncan had attended plenty of business parties to talk business. Before Lewis & Co. took off, he had to attend business engagements to drum in partnerships. Lewis and Co. was now a well-known company in Wiltspoon. Duncan would only discuss big contracts with other CEOs while the trades on a smaller scale were left to his management team. He started to attend fewer of these gatherings unless his two best friends were going. With company around, Duncan would turn up briefly. However, more often than not, Zachary would not show up. Hence, it fueled Duncan’s lack of presence at social events. “Who is the organizer? Where’s the party?” Duncan asked. Lily replied,

Instead of going out, Mrs. Lewis stayed at home and waited for Lily’s return. She wanted to know if Duncan ate the breakfast Lily delivered. Picking up on the sound of an approaching vehicle, Mrs. Lewis walked out of the house. “Mrs. Lewis.” Lily got out of the car and approached Mrs. Lewis with empty food containers. Judging by the smile on Lily’s smile, Mrs. Lewis could tell that her son ate Lily’s homemade breakfast. The pair strolled back into the house in talk and laughter. Handing the food containers to the maid, Lily helped Mrs. Lewis to sit on the sofa. “Why didn’t you stay longer at Duncan’s office?” “Duncan has a meeting coming up. I didn’t want to take up too much of his time. Mrs. Lewis, I told Duncan that you told me to deliver the breakfast, and he ate it all up. He even asked me if you had a new chef. He thought well of my cooking.” Mrs. Lewis was all smiles as if Lily was about to become her daughter-in-law. “You should deliver Duncan packed breakfas

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.

Zachary, afraid that his wife might refuse to spend time with him at his office in the future, emphasized that he was not busy today.He had already cleared his morning schedule because he needed to accompany his beloved wife for her prenatal checkup.His secretary was well aware of Serenity’s checkup dates. Whenever he saw Serenity turn up at the office with his boss, his secretary would quietly adjust his schedule.Sometimes, on the day of the Serenity’s checkup, his secretary would not schedule any appointments for Zachary at all.Even if appointments were scheduled, Zachary would request they be canceled or rescheduled.Now, in Zachary’s eyes, his wife’s matters were the most important.With Alex now able to share the workload, Zachary felt that he, as the eldest of his generation who had shouldered the bulk of the burden for so many years, deserved a break.Plus, there was the elite team the company had trained; if not now, then when would they be put to use?Everyone was

Tony turned around and left.Only after hearing the door close did Carrie dare to open her eyes.She had woken up while Tony and his son were on the phone, but she did not dare move, fearing that Tony might suspect her of eavesdropping.Just now, when that old lecher stood by the bed looking at her, there was definitely a murderous glint in his eyes. She could feel it.Sooner or later, he would kill her.Carrie was filled with panic. She wanted to escape but was afraid she would not succeed. No one was there to help her.For a moment, Carrie even considered running to Camryn to confess everything, but she quickly dismissed the thought. The reason she ended up in this situation was entirely due to Camryn.She and Camryn were sworn enemies. Their conflict would not end until one of them was dead. However, even if she died, she would drag Camryn down with her.-Meanwhile, in the CEO's office at York Corporation, Zachary, seated at his desk, kept glancing up at his pregnant wife.

“You should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.” Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, “There were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldn’t eliminate them all at once.”Back then, he had incited everyone to join him in wiping out the entire main family, sparing neither the elderly nor the children.It was because they were all from the collateral branches, jealous of the main family’s long-standing control, and shared a common goal that his conspiracy succeeded.He had also spent over a decade waiting for the right opportunity.Who would have thought that even after wiping out the main family, he still could not obtain the family seal, token, or totem? Without these, he could not become the true head of the family and could only act as a proxy. Many of the connections loyal to the head remained inaccessible.Moreover, much of the

It was his father. Manny composed himself and picked up Tony’s call as he walked toward his car.“Hey, Pops.”“How’s it going, Manny? Has there been any progress?”Tony was still in Carrie’s room at the moment, but had gotten up and walked to the balcony to call his son.Carrie was still fast asleep, though her face was set in a frown. She was obviously discomfited.Tony had pestered her for the majority of last night, so it would be weird if she did not feel any discomfort.Despite her begging, Tony would not let her go. He even forcefully drugged her to make her mess around with him while out of it. He was simply an old pervert.Before she passed out, she cursed him in her heart. However, she knew that Tony only treated her so roughly because she was just his mistress—a tool for him to vent his frustrations on.If she really was his wife, he definitely would not treat her like this.In the past, she had ambitions of taking Mrs. Longbottom’s place and becoming the real missus

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.“Isa, you’re always so busy and exhausted. If you’re feeling even a little unwell, you should have a good rest. Stay home for the day. I can handle the work you have on hand. It’s the same either way.”Tati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tati’s kind offer.She said, “Not today. There’s an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. I’m fine, really. Don’t worry. From now on, I won’t touch alcohol.”Given her current status and position, no one would dare to force her to drink during social engagements.Many people also knew that Isabella would not drink outside her home, fearing that she might fall victim to someone’s schemes.However, Isabella would occasionally make an exception. When she was in a good mood, she would have a couple of drinks.Hearing this, Tati stopped t

Austin still smiled gently and said, “It’s all thanks to Ms. Isabella’s guidance.”He felt that he had indeed improved a lot.Grandma May really understood him well. The wife she picked for him could actually help improve his culinary skills.“After eating the sweets, I feel much better.” Tati picked up another piece of pastry and ate it.Austin quietly retreated, not wanting to disturb their conversation and also to avoid overhearing their private matters.“Just ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?”Isabella added calmly to Tati, “If you let him provoke you, he’ll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesn’t exist and don’t respond no matter what he does, he’ll naturally give up once he sees that you’re completely unresponsive.”Tati said, “I’m afraid that he’ll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesn’t get anywhere with me. They don’t have the same resolve as we do.”She, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.“Every time I see hi
