Chapter 169

Author: Gu Lingfei
It was eleven o’clock at night by the time Serenity closed the shop. She rode her e-bike home.

“Drive safe, Serenity.” The female store owner from next door graciously said.

Serenity replied with a smile, “I will.”

Watching Serenity’s receding figure, the female store owner muttered, “She’s such an independent child with a sad past. It was a good thing she stood up to her bloodsucking relatives and refused to succumb to their absurd demands.

“Just watch her. Serenity will rise above all the bad. Her good fortune is written in the stars, and she’s bound for success. Things are difficult before they are easy. Those who picked on her will be sorry.”

The female store owner then glanced at her husband and pursed her lips. “You’re always into the mystic mumbo jumbo. Why don’t you start a business on fortune telling or something? Why don’t you give me a reading? When will I be rich?

“Hurry up and move the stuff into the shop so we can close for the day. We should wash up and get som

Why leave the door unlocked, don’t the FL/ML who has a house have keys or codes for their front doors in this story? It baffles me. Nice story though.

    Alex grinned. “Sorry. It’s just a slip of the tongue.” He squeezed past Austin and got into the dining hall first, sitting in his usual seat. Austin arrived last. He wanted to sit next to his sweetheart, but Isabella sat between his mother and grandmother. Austin could not ask either of them to move. He settled into his regular spot. During dinner, Grandma May would check on Isabella constantly. “I have a good understanding of Austin’s culinary skills. I was his first cooking tutor. I made some of the dishes. Try them, Isa.” It was no secret that Isabella was fussy with food. Grandma May asked the chef to pull out all the stops for tonight’s dinner. The food had to be to Isabella’s standard. Still, Grandma May could not shake off her concern. She cooked up a few dishes for Isabella. She would have prepared the entire feast if her age had not stopped her. Isabella smiled awkwardly. Her tastes were refined, and she would only eat what she wanted. However, she was meetin

    Sure enough, the rumors rang true. The elders of the York family took excellent care of themselves. Isabella’s future parents-in-law looked like they were pushing fifty, but they were well in their sixties. They carried themselves with grace even at an advanced age. They definitely turned heads in their primes.The great genes were passed down from generation to generation and ultimately to Austin, his brother, and his cousins. They were all hot.Isabella could understand why many women were dying to marry into the York family. The Yorks were the wealthiest in Wiltspoon, and all the heirs were established in their careers. Most importantly, the Yorks had strong family values. The York boys would never be caught dead in an affair once they were married. All women dreamed of having a handsome man completely devoted to them and their marriage. No woman in their sane mind would turn away from such a husband and family-in-law. If Isabella had not experienced it firsthand, she wo

    Austin and Isabella’s ride rolled up outside Wildridge Manor around half-past seven. The car cruised into the driveway and stopped at the entrance of the main residence. When they reached the foot of the hill, Austin asked Sam to roll down the windows to show Isabella the view. Isabella, despite having seen it all, was in awe of the night scene from the gates to the main residence. She said, “Ruth said that your family residence is to die for, and she wasn’t kidding.” The night scenery was amazing. Austin smiled. “I’ll take you on a walk around the estate after breakfast tomorrow. I don’t think we’ll have time tonight.” Everybody was expecting Austin and Isabella. It would be Isabella’s first encounter with Austin’s family. She would not have time to take a stroll. She had a few days to spend here anyway. Austin could take the time to show her around the manor. “Alright.” The pair got out of the car. Austin took her hand and led her into the main residence. Isab

    With all his questions answered, Louis said goodbye and hung up. Isabelle said amusedly, “I thought he missed me. I think he’s just dying to hang out at your place.“Louis and Phillip love you.” Austin uttered, “I love them both too, and not because I’ll be their family. They are just so lovely, sensible, and innocent.” He took Isabelle’s hands. “Let’s come here again during the summer, Ms. O’Connor.” “Don’t call me that in Wiltspoon. Just call me Isabella or Isa.” Austin grinned. “I’m used to it. “You’ll always be my precious Ms. O’Connor.” Isabella gave his cheek a squeeze before leaning against his shoulder. They enjoyed a moment in each other’s warmth. It was around a two-hour drive from the airport to Wildridge Manor. Austin told Isabella to take a nap. He would wake her up when they arrived at the destination. Isabella said, “I slept three hours on the plane. I can’t sleep anymore. If I sleep now, I doubt I can get any sleep at night.” Ring, ring, ring.

    Isabella said amusedly, “What? Are you worried that if Austin doesn’t come back, you’ll miss out on good food? “We have several private chefs. Are you telling me that their food is inedible?” Louis answered, “That’s not it. We are not fussy, but Austin makes the best food. He even spends time with us. “He takes us out, and you won’t yell at us when he’s around. We just love hanging around Austin.” Isabella was lost for words. She just did not put the kids down in front of Austin, but the boys saw Austin as their get-out-of-jail-free card. It appeared that Austin had their backs through and through. “Don’t worry. Austin will come back with me. He hasn’t quit his job. He’s on vacation.” Feeling at ease, Austin said with concern, “Why does Austin have to take time off, Isa? Are you there to marry him? “We don’t want you to go, Isa. Don’t live in Austin’s house forever, please.” Louis heard that women would stay in the house of their husband after they married. He was

    Following the birth of the child, Grandma May had officially become a great-grandmother. Austin said in surprise, “Oh, Serenity will spend her maternity break at Wildridge Manor. She can get some peace and quiet there. The air is fresh too.” The manor was the best place to rejuvenate and recuperate when work was not involved. The Yorks were often occupied with work. Due to the long travel to the manor, they would leave and return in a rush, unable to experience the tranquility and peace the estate had to offer. The older members of the family preferred to move back to the manor after retiring. They could never get bored, even if they stayed indoors for a month. The manor was huge and had great scenery. The household employees lived near the foot of the hill. Grandma May would engage with the senior members about everyday topics. Life was bliss. Sam concurred with a smile. The other ladies of the family were ecstatic to learn that Serenity would be back at the manor. Isa
