Zachary said all the right words to console Serenity even if he did not believe them himself. Although he was in a high position, Zachary knew that the requirement had grown stricter when it came to talent acquisition. Liberty had been out of touch with society for three years, and even if she had experience, her skills would be rusty. It probably would not be easy for Liberty to find a job. “Are you at work? Carry on with your work. I’ll hang up.” “Sure.” Zachary waited for Serenity to disconnect the call. After the conversation with her husband, Serenity gave her sister a call to plan for her future. Serenity only ended the call when it was time for Liberty to start cooking. With her phone almost out of battery, Serenity pulled out a charger for her phone. As afternoon drew close, Zachary phoned the Wiltspoon Hotel’s manager to prepare two sets of lunch. He also ordered a few extra accompanying dishes to be delivered to Bookit, a bookshop near Wiltspoon High School. The l

Perhaps it would not be long before Serenity and Zachary turn into a real couple and live happily ever after. Snapping out of her thoughts, Serenity thanked the hotel manager and saw him off at the door. She watched as the manager got into the car and drove away before heading into the shop. As there were two lunch sets, the other share was without a doubt for Jasmine. By the time Serenity got back in, Jasmine had washed her hands and was seated behind the cash register. With her best friend approaching, she said with a smile, “Come on and eat. The Wiltspoon Hotel is a seven-star hotel. We tried their food at the dinner party the last time. I couldn’t stop thinking about the delicious food after I got home.“Thanks to you, I finally get to relive the taste.” Jasmine shoved the cutlery into Serenity’s hands while complimenting Zachary with glee, “I can’t believe Mr. York can be so thoughtful. He bought you lunch and had it delivered to you. He must feel bad that you’ve been hav

Surprised, the few CEOs immediately asked Josh, “Mr. Bucham, does Mr. York have someone he likes? Do you know who the lucky girl is?” Fancy that. Even Zachary had a shot at love. The probability was slim to none. “Shh… You gotta keep it a secret or Mr. York will reproach me for being nosy and a blabbermouth. Mr. York hasn’t fallen in love yet. He’s merely a bit interested in the girl. Judging by his character, Mr. York will tell the whole world once he’s fallen head over heels with a girl.” Mr. York would put the word out there so admirers like Elisa would not harass him. The CEOs nodded their heads. It was good enough for them to find out that Mr. York was interested in girls. It got one of the CEOs thinking as he had a daughter who had reached marrying age.Since Mr. York was a straight guy, the CEO intended to bring his daughter along to observe during business discussions at York Corporation. Who knows? His daughter might catch Mr. York’s attention. The girl, who Mr. Yor

“I got my salary today. I’ll wire you the living expenses later. Spend it on food and everything necessary. Don’t be too frugal,” Zachary said.“It’s fine. We still have a chunk of change left from the hundred thousand dollars you gave me the last time. We kept our household expenditures low, so not much of the money was used.” The furniture took away tens of thousands, but that was a one-time purchase. The remaining dozens of thousands could last the household for several months. Besides, Serenity was not going to spend his money all the time. “Just save the unused portion. Men can be extravagant with their spending. Just keep the money that I’ve wired to you. It can serve as an emergency fund. Otherwise, I’ll burn through all my money.” Serenity gave it a thought before answering, “Alright then.” She would keep a record of all the transactions. The money Zachary wired to her every month would be saved and put in writing. It would be easy to divide the money when they w

“Serenity, did you make these? They’re beautiful.” Elisa complimented Serenity’s handicraft. Picking up a newly made maneki-neko for a closer look, Elisa praised, “Wow, it’s so pretty.” “I can give you a few if you like, Ms. Stone. They’re not worth much though.” “I love them. I love them a lot.” Elisa nodded her head incessantly. “Thank you.” She then asked, “Do you sell these, Serenity?” “Yes, I do. I have an online business, selling these knick-knacks. Sales have been pretty good, and this month has been the best month yet.” Elisa replied with a smile, “Send me the link to your online business later. I’ll share it on Facebook to drum up your business. They’re really beautiful.” Having learned of Serenity’s business, Elisa was more than happy to advertise Serenity’s products. If a woman of her standards found Serenity’s crafts appealing, others were bound to love her creations too. Those who might not share the same aesthetics would also help with Serenity’s business

Not only was Elisa’s family against her courting Zachary, but her best friends also persuaded her to let it go, saying that it was not an easy pursuit with Zachary. Besides, her family and the Yorks were rivals in business. Only Serenity encouraged her to go for it. Elisa clung to Serenity, deeming the latter to be her confidante. “I wouldn’t go after Mr. York despite his brilliance if he had a wife or girlfriend. I’m a good catch, so I don’t need to steal someone else’s man. The fact is that he’s single. Now that I’ve found the one, I must put it into action and try. Even if nothing comes out of it, I won’t regret trying.” Elisa let it all out of her chest. Serenity had caught wind of Elisa’s haughtiness, but she had the means to be lofty, spoiled, and willful after all. All Serenity saw in Elisa was an ordinary lovesick girl. It appeared to Serenity that Elisa was in a positive frame of mind. Elisa had a non-distorted outlook on life. Serenity had overheard some gossi

“Girls chasing after boys is really not that different from guys chasing after girls. Invest in his interest and hang in there. Your efforts will see you through. He’s bound to say yes if you keep asking him out.” Elisa gave it a thought before replying, “I know I should persevere and stick with it. To be honest, my sister-in-law initiated the first move on my brother. I saw the whole thing. My brother was like Mr. York at the time – lofty, detached, and unconcerned.“My sister-in-law was all over my brother every day and eventually wore my brother down with her persistence. There was a time my sister-in-law wanted to give up and stopped turning up anywhere near my brother. The surprising thing was that my brother got used to her being around. Her absence and intention to back out of his life turned him to being more forward with his feelings.“Now my brother’s known in Wiltspoon for worshiping the ground his wife walks on.” Elisa was most envious of her brother and sister-in-law

Elisa was rendered speechless. Was she bratty and willful? Come to think of it, Elisa had to admit that she did act like a spoiled brat. It was largely because she was the apple of the Stones’ eye. Her family’s love did not give her a stuck-up attitude, but Elisa was not the easiest person to get along with. She would not hesitate to kick out anyone who had gotten on her list of dislikes if she found them hanging around her. She had no consideration for other people’s feelings. Even her relatives were not spared from her wrath. It took a while before Elisa gratefully said to Serenity, “Thank you for telling me this, Serenity. No one ever talked to me about changing my bad behavior.” Serenity thought to herself, ‘Who would say something so blunt to your face?’She made a bold suggestion because she did not belong in Elisa’s circle. Besides, Elisa saw Serenity as her love guru. “Seren.” Having woken up from her afternoon nap, Jasmine came out when she overheard Serenit

Remy gave it some thought. If he were to become a father, he would also be extremely happy, to the point that he would forget about posting on social media.They were usually busy people and did not have the habit of posting regularly anyway. Josh only started sharing a lot on Facebook after he got married. He simply wanted to show off his life after marriage and irritate his friends who were still single. Even Zachary would post about his love life on Facebook occasionally. Remy suddenly felt he had to keep up with the trend and post something on Facebook during his free time. Remy and Elisa went to buy some supplements before heading to the hospital. There were still many people in Jasmine’s ward. Most of the men were sitting in the small living area while the women were chatting with Jasmine or looking at the baby in the room. The baby boy was already fed and in fresh diapers. He was sleeping soundly. “Jasmine.”Elisa walked over with the supplements she had brought.

The secretary wished she could skip work and visit Jasmine at the hospital with Elisa. However, that could never happen. She was simply an employee, while Elisa was her boss. The only alternative was if Elisa invited her along. Nevertheless, the employees could meet Jasmine during their break or visit her at her house. Elisa left excitedly. A Maybach was parked at the entrance of the company. When Remy spotted Elisa exiting, he stuck his head out and waved at her. Upon seeing him, she was no longer in a hurry to get to her car. She quickly walked over. “Why are you here? Why didn’t you go inside?”Elisa was beaming. As she had received good news, she had a smiling face regardless of who she met.“I just arrived. I didn’t drive inside when I saw you coming out. Where are you going?”Remy got out of the car.“Jasmine gave birth. I want to go to the hospital to visit her and her baby. You came at the right time. We can head over together, but let’s get some supplemen

“Yes. Health is the most important thing. Everything else is secondary. With the York family’s wealth and numbers, they won’t have to worry about not having a successor even if your child is slightly more ordinary.”Of course, Elisa personally hoped the next successor of the York family would be her nephew.The Stones and the Yorks could be considered relatives because Elisa and Serenity were cousins.The successor of the Stone family was most likely Clive’s son. If the York family’s heir was not Serenity’s child, would the two families’ relationship that was finally mended become strained again?After all, the head of the York family would no longer be a relative of the Stones if that were the case. However, Elisa did not voice her thoughts. She did not want Serenity to feel pressured. As an aunt, she also thought her nephew’s health was more important than anything else.“You must be busy, Elisa. You should go on with your work. I shall not disturb you. I appreciate your

“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. 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
