After getting into the car, Serenity asked her husband, “Are you really going to introduce that psychic to Mr. Bucham?”Zachary adjusted Sonny’s position so that the boy could sleep more comfortably.“Of course. Nana might be asleep now, so I’ll ask her for his contact tomorrow and pass it on to the head of the Bucham family, Walter. Then, he can ask the psychic to read Julian’s fortune.That way, Julian could not run away.If they gave the contact information to Julian, he might just throw it away.“Do you think Mr. Bucham is telling the truth? Does he really have a condition?”Zachary thought about it and said, “It might be true, but it might also be an excuse. The only one who can prove it is the head of the Bucham family.”He believed that Walter had already received the news.There was nowhere for Julian to run.Like Zachary, Julian was a very powerful person. However, no matter how amazing he was, Walter was more powerful. Julian was no match for his father.If the psyc
Zachary’s grandparents’ relationship was remarkable. His grandfather doted on his nana until the end of his life.Julian choked and then hung up the phone.Serenity listened to the conversation between the two men and laughed. “Mr. Bucham’s parents are also pushing him to get married pretty insistently, huh?”“He’s about the same age as Duncan. You’ve seen how anxious Mrs. Lewis is about Duncan’s marriage—that’s how anxious Julian’s parents are. As parents, they probably have the same mentality. They start to grow anxious when their children reach their thirties.Zachary was the same. When he turned thirty, his nana began to push him and made him marry Serenity.In the past, he had many misunderstandings about Serenity.Now, he was thankful for his nana.“I don’t care about other people, but I want my brothers and friends to be happy.”Zachary was not a nosy person.He only cared about the people around him and wanted them to be as happy as he was.Serenity leaned on his shou
“Okay, drive safe,” Camryn spoke softly.Dalton hummed and watched her get out of the car. She walked to the gate of the villa, took out her key, touched the lock, and slowly unlocked the side door.Anyone who looked at Camryn like this would think that she was a normal person.They would not believe that she was blind.She could live like a normal person in familiar environments.Dalton watched her unlock and push open the door before leaving.Then, he saw Callum walking over.Dalton instinctively wanted to slam on the brakes, but he drove too fast. By the time he saw Callum clearly, his car had already driven past Callum.He gave up on braking.Through the rear mirror, he saw Callum walking toward the Newman family villa.Did Callum see him send Camryn back?If he did, then there was no helping it.Callum already misunderstood their relationship, and Camryn was unwilling to explain it to him. Dalton did not intend to reveal his true identity either, so he could use this a
Callum saw Dalton sending Camryn back.Before Camryn returned, Callum asked his bodyguard to drive away from the Newmans’ villa, but after thinking about it, he got out of the car midway and walked back, intending to wait for her at the entrance of her residence.Dalton was unfamiliar with Callum, so he failed to recognize Callum by the latter’s back when he drove Camryn back in his car.When Dalton left, Callum was only a hundred meters away from the Newmans’ villa. He saw Camryn getting out of Dalton’s car.Callum was originally worried about Camryn, but when he saw that scene, his thoughts went haywire. The more he thought about it, the angrier and more jealous he felt.Just what was the relationship between that man and her?She was with him for the entire afternoon and evening.“Tell me. Who is he?” Callum questioned her.Camryn did not answer him and tried to walk past him.Callum reached out to grab her wrist, pulling her back.She tried to wrench his large hand away,
“Camryn...”Callum said in a low voice, “Tell me who that man is, and I’ll go back.”After a moment of silence, Camryn said, “He’s someone I saved fourteen years ago. We’re like siblings to each other. He has a girlfriend he’s about to marry.”She did not mention Dalton’s name.It was to prevent Callum from doing a background check on him.She just told Callum that Dalton and she were like siblings.She was telling Callum to stop thinking nonsense.“Why didn’t you mention him before?”“Did you ask? Why would I talk about him if you’ve never asked?”Callum was struck speechless.He thought she had a monotonous circle of life.He also investigated her before and found that her life was indeed dull. However, he realized that he did not investigate her in-depth. If he had delved deeper, maybe there would have been a surprise.Now, he really was surprised. No, he was shocked.He was shocked by her and thought that she actually had a boyfriend.It was good if they were just lik
Camryn spoke faintly.The nanny asked from the other side of the board, “Ms. Camryn, are you dating Mr. York?”“What’s it to you?”The nanny choked.After a moment, she smiled sheepishly. “Ms. Camryn, Mrs. Newman and Ms. Carrie were around before. They didn’t like you and targeted you all the time. We were hired by Mrs. Newman, so even if we sympathize with you, we couldn’t help you openly.“You also know that I’ve never done anything to hurt you. I just don’t pay much attention to you usually.”If she did not pay attention to Camryn, then she did not have to hurt her.The nanny was neither good nor evil.“Mrs. Newman and Ms. Carrie have been arrested. Mrs. Newman will probably get a heavy sentence, but Ms. Carrie will be released in a few years. She has always been against you. What will you do when she’s released?“Mr. York is quite good. Most importantly, his family is powerful. If you and Mr. York get together, you must hold onto him tightly. As long as you can marry into
Zachary got up and walked up the stairs; he could not be bothered about Callum anymore.“Zachary...”“Get out!”Callum was speechless.When his eldest brother’s figure disappeared, he grumbled, “He only cares about his happy life and doesn’t care about his brothers anymore.”Sam came in with a bouquet of flowers. Callum had ordered Sam to cut blooms from the garden for a bouquet as soon as he arrived.“Mr. Callum, you got the cold shoulder from Mr. Zachary, didn’t you? Why didn’t you look at the time first. Only roosters get up this early.”A rooster needed to get up early because it had to crow.“Mr. Callum, I’ve wrapped the bouquet for you as you ordered.”Sam handed the bouquet to Callum.Callum took the bouquet and looked at it, then said with contempt, “Sam, I remember the flowers blooming brilliantly in the garden. Why are the flowers in this bouquet so small? They don’t look pretty either.”Sam said, “The missus likes those large and flashy flowers, so I can’t cut the
Sonny perked up when he heard that they were sending breakfast over to his mother.Zachary looked at the two with a smile in his eyes and said, “Honey, when I see you and Sonny, you look like a parent who has to wake their child up for school every day.”Serenity looked at him and was just about to tell him to change his clothes, only to see that he had already changed.“Did you get up early? You already have your suit on.”“A certain lovesick fool called me and woke me up.”Serenity guessed that it was Callum and asked, “He called so early? And you didn’t ride on the radio waves to beat him up?”“I didn’t beat him up since he’s my brother. He can’t even solve a little problem, but he had the gall to laugh at me back then. The person who can help him the most is Nana, but he doesn’t know to go to her instead.”“Speaking of, I haven’t seen Nana in two days. I miss her.”Zachary picked Sonny up and went downstairs with Serenity.“She must have gone out to pick out more granddaug
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. When
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.
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
