Chapter 1723

Author: Gu Lingfei
Toward the end of her sentence, Serenity’s smile faded. She said, “Hank and Jessica’s case is a good example. Of course, Jessica isn’t to blame completely. Much of the blame rests with Hank.”

Karma had hit Jessica now.

However, it had yet to hit Hank.

Zachary showed a pathetic look and said, “Honey, I don’t care. I belong to you. You need to protect me. Don’t allow anyone to take advantage of me.”

“Alright, I’ll protect you. I’ll keep you company at any social function you attend. I’ll announce my ownership of you to everyone. Zachary fully belongs to Serenity. If anyone has the audacity to snatch my man, I’ll beat them up.”

“Honey, why do you sound as though you’re comforting a child?”

“How should I say it then?”

Zachary stopped speaking.

Serenity kissed him on the cheek. After that, she hugged him with her upper body lying on his chest. With a soft voice, she said, “Babe, don’t be angry. I’ll walk the talk. I’ll keep you company at every social function to prevent others from

    At least, this was Serenity’s innermost feeling.It was better than all other poetic phrases that she copied from elsewhere.There was a message at the back of the paper.He turned it over.[I’m jogging outside. Let’s have breakfast together later.]Zachary folded the letter joyfully and put it back into the envelope. After that, he slid open the drawer and placed the love letter inside.He got up and walked toward the window. Once he pulled open the thick and heavy curtains, the sunlight shone in.The morning sun in summer was dazzling. Once the hot summer was over, the cool fall would come, which was also time for Zachary and Serenity’s wedding.Zachary was more eager for the arrival of the baby that belonged to him and Serenity.The psychic told the couple decidedly that their baby would come in the fall. No matter how much the two of them loved each other, the baby would not come until it was fall season.Ben from FC & Co. now had a son and a daughter, which made Zachar

    Without much hesitation, Serenity answered, “Okay. Liberty goes to the hospital to look after Mr. Lewis whenever she’s free. Mrs. Lewis was the one who begged her to do so.”Zachary was not surprised. Considering Duncan’s current condition, Mrs. Lewis deeply regretted her actions. She would not even mind kneeling down to beg Liberty as long as Duncan could recover.“Is Duncan willing to meet Liberty?” Zachary asked concernedly.“I didn’t ask Liberty. But she’s insistent on looking after Duncan. She must have a way to get into the ward.”She would sneak in, by hook or by crook. Sure enough, Serenity and Liberty were sisters. Serenity knew her sister very well.Zachary replied, “I hope Duncan doesn’t overthink things and gets well soon.”Comparing Duncan’s previous and current states, Zachary could identify with Duncan. If it were Zachary, he would have difficulty regaining confidence as well.“He’ll recover.”Serenity said to him, “Let’s jog two more rounds. After Sonny wakes

    Sonny blinked, but he did not know how to express his discomfort. “He’s usually very loud, but he’s groggy today. He must be unwell. Bring the thermometer over and measure his temperature, Seren.”Serenity had already brought the thermometer without Zachary telling her and took Sonny’s temperature. A few minutes later, Zachary took the thermometer from Sonny’s armpit and handed it to Serenity. She held it up to look at it. She said, “100.9 degrees Fahrenheit. He has a fever. His temperature didn’t feel hot when I touched his forehead, but the number on the thermometer is so high. I’ll head upstairs to change my clothes. Let’s bring him to the hospital now.“I’ll call his instructor to request a leave of absence too.”Serenity took out her phone and called the self-defense instructor from the gym to request a day off on Sonny’s behalf as she spoke. Zachary said, “Don’t panic. Let’s try lowering his temperature first, then call the family doctor to check on him.”“That works

    The family doctor said, “Missus, I’ll prescribe some medication for the child just in case. If his temperature can be lowered through physical means, he doesn’t have to take any medicine first. If his temperature can’t go down to normal and the fever persists above 101.3 degrees, feed him some medicine. I’ll come over again tomorrow.”“Don’t we have to give him medicine now?” Serenity asked. Zachary said, “Let’s avoid feeding him medicine if his condition doesn’t require it. Every medicine has some side effects.”If one kept taking medication or getting an IV drip for minor issues, it would be troublesome in the future once there was drug resistance. Serenity knew to avoid taking medicine as much as possible, but she and her sister always panicked and were extremely nervous whenever Sonny was unwell. They desperately wanted the child to get well immediately. Therefore, the first thing they did every time was to bring him to the doctor, put him on an IV drip, and take medicine.

    Duncan looked at the insulated lunch box. He could not reach it after she moved it to the edge because of his injured legs. He was that useless. Everyone had been encouraging him to focus on recuperating. The doctor said the chances of recovery were high, but it was not a hundred percent. Who knew if he could make full recovery?If he could not, then he would merely be like just now, a person who could not even sweep a lunch box to the floor. It was as if the lunch box had a mouth and was laughing at him. He could not stand the sight of the lunch box, yet he could not get rid of it. Duncan was about to fly into a rage when Liberty’s phone rang. He saw her picking up the phone and heard her say, “Seren.” He knew it was a call from Serenity.Liberty did not pay attention to Duncan while she was on the phone call. Only then did he dare to remove his icy mask of disguise and drink the sight of her with his eyes greedily. He was desperate to be with the person he liked for twent

    Duncan felt bad for Liberty, but he still did not want to be a burden to her. He said icily, “I said I’d give you six hundred thousand dollars. It’s double what my mom offered you. Leave now. Immediately. Right at this second. Leave!”“Mr. Lewis, I won’t take the six hundred thousand dollars. Mrs. Lewis hiring me is a long-term job, but you’re offering me a one-off amount. I’ll suffer a huge loss. However, if you were to give me six hundred grand for no specific reason each month, I won’t feel comfortable accepting the money. I prefer earning money by working. It makes me feel at ease when I spend it too.”Duncan was speechless. “Long-term? Are you planning to do this for your entire life?”“With your current attitude, I think it’s largely possible.”Duncan said, “I’ll get better. I’ll definitely recover.”Liberty laughed. “That’ll depend on whether you’ll cooperate with the treatment. If you keep this up, I’ll suspect your ability to stand up again. If you end up wheelchair-bound

    “Liberty!” Duncan called from inside the ward. “I’ll go in and have a look, Mrs. Lewis.”Liberty withdrew her hand lightly and turned to return to the ward. Mrs. Lewis did not follow her in. As long as Liberty was present and did not call for their help, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis knew not to enter and leave them alone. Their son’s attitude was terrible, and he had not restrained his temper yet. However, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis knew their son wanted Liberty to stay and care for him. Mrs. Lewis returned to sit beside her husband. She sighed and said, “I was too stubborn back then. I’ll learn from Tania from now on.”Derek told his wife, “I’ve advised you many times, but you wouldn’t listen. Our son isn’t young anymore. Other people his age already have children in middle school, but he doesn’t even have a girlfriend. Since he finally has someone he likes, who cares how many times she has gotten divorced? It’s fine as long as our son likes her.“You didn’t heed my advice at all. Now, we

    At the hilltop villa, when the call with her sister ended, Serenity retook Sonny’s temperature after he was done eating. She said to Zachary, “It’s 99.86 degrees Fahrenheit. Should we bathe him again?”Zachary poured a glass of water for Sonny to drink up. He said, “Sonny had just eaten his fill. Let him rest before giving him another warm bath. Breaking a fever is a gradual process. There’s no need to panic or worry. The medicine Dr. Thompson prescribed is still on standby.”Ring, ring…Zachary’s phone rang. Serenity said, “Sonny’s fever is going down. You’re busy and have lots of work to do, so you should go back to the office. I’ll look after Sonny at home.”Zachary did not reply but answered the call first. It was Mr. Daniels who called.“Mr. Daniels.”Zachary hated Jenna, but he still treated Mr. Daniels politely. The two companies were looking to collaborate after all. However, Zachary would be willing to give up on the golden opportunity and not work with Daniels Group i

    Austin replied, “Both Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. It’s really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.”Sometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, “Phillip is just afraid he’ll get here too late and that you’ll assume he’s not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.”The house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

    Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

    While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabella’s room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, “Are you up yet, Ms. Isabella? It’s time to have breakfast.”Isabella w

    Austin was extremely patient with the boys. Although they occasionally caused trouble, most of them were minor issues. They would never do something they were not allowed to do.After breakfast, Austin brought them their bags. With a boy in each hand, he left the house. It was to prevent the boys from saying he was playing favorites. Dominic was used to that scene. Initially, Austin was simply Ms. Isabella’s private chef. However, he gradually took on more responsibilities.He would take the two young masters to school. If he had time in the evening, he would also fetch them from school. Austin also made sure Louis and Phillip did their homework, supervised their hobby classes, and played with them. Sometimes, he would even teach them martial arts and train with them. Dominic felt Austin was an all-rounder. It seemed like there was nothing Austin could not do. No wonder Ms. Isabella thought highly of Austin. However, Austin was a young master of a wealthy family. He w

    Louis and Phillip were downstairs having the breakfast Austin had prepared for them. The food was different every morning, and everything was delicious.Having gotten used to Austin’s cooking, Louis and Phillip could no longer stand the food provided in the school. They thought the food there was terrible. Louis was enrolled in an elementary school not far from home. As he was a first grader, he did not need to stay in the dormitories and could have his lunch and dinner at home. Phillip, who was a year younger than him, was still in preschool. He would have breakfast and dinner at home. Actually, the preschool did provide breakfast, but Phillip refused to eat in school and insisted on having breakfast at home. In order to eat the breakfast Austin made, he would get up early in the morning without the adults waking him. After putting on his clothes and washing up, he would head to Louis’s place with his bag. “Austin.”Louis suddenly asked, “Did my sister come back last n

    Isabella had always thought Tati was teasing her. Therefore, she did not take her words seriously. She thought it was completely normal for Austin to treat her well as she was his boss. From Austin’s perspective, she was his source of income. Now that Isabella pondered about it deeper, she realized perhaps Austin did come to Satbury for her. It was not just to be her chef. He always said Grandma May only gave the York lads a year to pursue their fiancées. However, Austin had never left since he started working for Isabella. Even if he did, it was to accompany her on business trips. He was busy feeding and taking care of her every day and had never gone to pursue his so-called fiancée. He did not even try to gather information on her. Was he not anxious?A year would go by pretty quickly. Although it felt like it had not been long since Austin started working for Isabella, three months had passed. Time really flew. Three months had gone by in the blink of an eye. Neve

    When Austin reached the door, he stopped and turned to say, “Ms. Isabella, I only care about my future wife. Other young women are simply strangers to me.“I’m polite to other women when I need to be. If they’re unimportant, I’ll ignore them. Even if that woman is my boss, I won’t cross any lines. If I do, there must be a reason behind it.“Get some rest, Ms. Isabella. You might have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. I’ll prepare a warm honey drink for you in the morning.”After speaking, Austin left. Isabella turned to look at where he last stood. What did his words mean?He said he only cared about his future wife.Aside from this lady, he would not step out of line with any other young woman, even if she were his boss. What did he mean by crossing lines?Was it showing concern? Did he mean that if his boss was a young woman but not his fiancée, he would simply do what was required of him without any personal feelings involved? Was that what he meant?If so, was

    Isabella was cold sometimes, but that was not her true personality. She was a reasonable person. Austin was not worried that he would be mistreated as a live-in son-in-law. “Ms. Isabella.”Isabella looked toward him and waited for him to speak. He asked, “This may be abrupt, but may I ask what your ideal type is?”Isabella was stunned. Why did the question come to her? What was the type of man she liked?‘Someone like Austin,’ she thought. After a moment of silence, she said, “I like men who are capable, responsible, and have correct values. Even if his family isn’t as financially well-off as mine, I don’t mind so long as he’s honest, competent, and sincere about his feelings for me.“Of course, it’ll be great if we have the same social status. That way, we’ll have similar perspectives and more common topics. If we get married, we’ll be joining forces instead of it being a one-way financial aid.”“Although you can accept someone who isn’t from a similar family backgrou

    After a moment of silence, Isabella said, “It’s okay. I know I was forcing it.”There was no point in asking Austin if he did not want to reveal anything. If he wanted to tell her, he would do so without her asking. However, her curiosity spiked with his silence. She was eager to know who his fiancée was. He was already so protective of his fiancée even though he had not met her before. It made Isabella jealous. It was her first time feeling that kind of emotion throughout her life. Although it was not a strong feeling, she still felt it. “You weren’t forcing me to tell you. You were simply curious. Most people have a curious side. It’s only natural for you to be inquisitive as well.”Austin said gently, “It’s not just you. Those who knew that my nana had chosen fiancées for my brothers and me were also curious about who the ladies were.“To be honest, we didn’t even know Nana had been choosing fiancées for us since a few years ago until she handed their pictures to us
