The York men would not commit such preposterous acts.“I believe I’ve raised you guys well. All of you are nice, capable, and responsible young men. You won’t do those things. It’s been a while since I practiced self-defense. I might not be as agile as before, but I can still summon my strength to deal with you if you ever do those things.Kevin said, “Nana… Can you at least wait for me to finish my sentence?”“Well, you didn’t say it all in one shot. How dare you blame me. It’s only because I’m your nana that I tolerate you.”“Nana, I’m going to take a look at a house tomorrow, and I need a psychicdiviner. He doesn’t need to be competent. Most importantly, he’s able to lie and twist things around.”Bewildered, Grandma May said, “I understand that you need a psychicdiviner to look at the house, given that buying a house is a big matter. If you buy a house with bad energy, your life will be negatively affected. The most dreadful thing is buying a house with the worst energy because
Grandma May was not at all worried. She merely faked her worry for Kevin.After Kevin hung up, Grandma May contacted a diviner and requested the diviner to fly over to Jensburg with his apprentice. Their flight ticket, meals, and accommodation would be covered. All they needed to do was contact Kevin and listen to his instructions.The diviner heartily agreed.After settling Kevin’s matters, Grandma May was in a cheerful mood. She headed to her eldest grandson’s house at night. When the butler heard the bell ring, he went to open the door, only to see Grandma May. Sam was dumbfounded. While opening the door for her, he asked, “Old Mrs. York, you should call us before you come over so we can pick you up. Did you come here by cab?”Although Grandma May could still drive, she was already old. Her grandchildren forbade her from driving even though she was physically strong. They wanted the chauffeur to drive her wherever she went.“My chauffeur sent me here. He left after I got out of
“This time, which rich young lady is interested in Zack?” Grandma May asked, “Does Seren know about it? When she’s back, I’ll talk to her and teach her how to deal with love rivals.”When Grandma May was young, she had love rivals too.Zachary resembled his grandfather.“I think Ms. Daniels met Missus in Wiltspoon or somewhere else. Missus was ready to deal with her, but the next day, she discovered that Ms. Daniels had left Wiltspoon the previous night.” “Ms. Daniels? Is it Mr. Daniels’s daughter, Jenna Daniels? Unsurprisingly, she’s interested in Zack. She’s quite capable, and she’s an only child. She should be taking over Daniels Group in the future.“Ms. Daniels is arrogant. Considering her status, she certainly thinks that only men like Zack deserve to be with her. Having said that, Mr. Daniels is a clever man. He won’t allow his daughter to be the other woman. ”Sam stayed silent, not knowing how to respond.That was all he knew. He was clueless about other things.“Ms.
Sam had encountered all kinds of issues. Based on Serenity’s condition, he could straight away tell that she was schemed against.Sam’s expression instantly turned solemn.It was very bold of the person who plotted against Serenity, the wife of Zachary York.What was more, Serenity was at the social function with Zachary. This meant the person had made a move against Serenity in front of Zachary. No wonder Zachary’s face was extremely dark.Grandma May also got a fright when she saw Zachary carrying Serenity into the house hurriedly.“Zack, what’s wrong with Seren?”“Nana, I’ll explain to you later.”Zachary was not surprised to find his nana in his house.As Grandma May was idly living her life, she was always going around. Her grandsons would always welcome her.While Zachary was speaking, he had already hurried upstairs with Serenity in his arms.Grandma May stood at the stairs watching him.Sam walked up to Grandma May and whispered, “Old Mrs. York, Missus might’ve been
Zachary was at a loss for words.“After getting Sam to ask Jim and the rest, I found out about the incident. You both are really unlucky.”Grandma May grinned and asked Zachary, “Do you want me to get you some tonics?”Zachary’s face was slightly red. “No. I’m good.”“Did you meet Shawn?”Zachary fell quiet for a moment before he nodded. “The Lowes realized that my relationship with Seren is stable and that Shawn has gotten over Seren, so they assigned him back to Lowe Enterprise from their subsidiary. He’s now Mr. Lowe’s secretary. He follows Mr. Lowe around every day. Mr. Lowe is the one guiding and teaching him in person.”Lowe Enterprise would eventually be handed over to Shawn. The Lowe’s relatives could stop eyeing the company.Shawn was Mrs. Lowe’s son and Jasmine’s cousin. Before Jasmine became Josh’s wife, the Lowe’s relatives had given up and quit eyeing Lowe Enterprise.Having Josh as his cousin-in-law, Shawn thought that those who dared compete for Lowe Enterprise w
Zachary accepted the paper and said, “No need. Just pick the closest date.” He had long prepared the betrothal gifts for Serenity. His elders wanted to add on, which was why he had yet to send the gifts over.After looking at the few dates his nana had picked, Zachary decided on the closest date. Once the betrothal gifts were sent over, it was time to prepare for the wedding.He wanted to hold a grand wedding for Serenity to impress the whole of Wiltspoon. He wanted his wedding to surpass that of Josh and Jasmine.He wanted everyone to know that Serenity was his wife and that he was taken. Hopefully, those undesirable admirers would not come to him anymore. He would not fall in love with anyone else he met.“Are you and Seren doing fine lately?” Grandma May asked in a seemingly casual manner.“We’re doing great. Seren and I are always fine. She’s been quite busy lately and always neglects me. If I hadn’t reminded her about my presence, she would’ve forgotten about me.“You do
“Your undesirable admirers…”“Nana, I don’t have any. Seren is the only person in my heart. No matter how young or pretty other women are, I only have eyes for Seren.”Grandma May nodded. “I trust that my grandson whom I raised isn’t a merciless person. I too believe that Serenity still loves you. She’ll protect her man in the face of love rivals.“If she doesn’t bother to protect you, it means that she doesn’t love you anymore.”Zachary pulled a long face despite knowing that Grandma May was telling the truth.Serenity was not the kind who would perceive love as her everything. If he had the slightest intention of having an affair, Serenity would surely break off her relationship with him. She would willingly let another person have him and not bother to squabble with the other party.As Serenity said, if he could be snatched away, then it was not true love. If that was the case, what was the point of persuading him to stay? If she could keep him by her side physically but not m
Grandma May said unconcernedly, “Why should I be worried about Kevin? He’s already panicking. Before I came here, I received a call from him asking me for a favor, and I helped him. I’ve prepared the cabbages, but am I supposed to slice and boil them before feeding the pigs?”Zachary’s face turned dark.At the mention of cabbages, Grandma May hinted that her grandsons resembled pigs.Had Grandma May seen good-looking pigs like her grandsons?She always described them as pigs.Grandma May yawned and rose to her feet. “I’m sleepy. I’ll go to bed now. You should sleep early.”“Good night, Nana.”Grandma May was ready to head upstairs to rest. After taking a few steps forward, she paused to turn around and ask Zachary, “After Duncan was discharged from the hospital, does he need Liberty to look after him? Duncan is just stubborn. He’s in love with Liberty, yet he’s pretending as though he’s able to get over her.“If he remains stubborn and continues to fake it, I’ll matchmake Liber
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
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
