Married at First Sight Chapter 3138
“Both of them, of course. It’s their kid. And you keep saying ‘grandson’. If your mom hears you, she’s going to give you an earful. You know she wants a great-granddaughter.”Liam was speechless for a moment before he retorted, “Does she think it’ll end up that way just because she wants it? I’m willing to bet that the baby’s definitely a boy. Our first grandson! I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, though. My first grandchild will be the apple of my eye.“We can just enjoy spending time with our grandchildren at home in the future.“Besides, the psychic said that Zack and Serenity will have a boy and a girl. Que sera sera. We’ll get a granddaughter someday. They can have a son now and work on having another kid in a few years and complete the set then.”Tania did not mind much whether her first grandchild was a boy or a girl.Serenity had only gotten pregnant one year after getting married. The elders had been looking forward to it so much that the baby’s gender did not matter.

Tania had never paid attention to how big Serenity’s company had gotten. All she knew was that the company started turning a profit long ago and partnering with many major hotels, schools, and companies.She knew that Serenity valued the quality of the vegetables the most and used farmyard fertilizer where she could. She bought the fertilizer wherever she found it and used as little pesticides as possible. If she could avoid using them, she would. Every manager she employed to run her farms had more than a decade of relevant experience.Serenity said that she wanted to provide vegetables to school cafeterias because students were the future of the country. For that reason, she would not harm them just for the sake of profits and wanted to ensure they could eat with peace of mind.Whenever she visited one of her farms, she would take some vegetables home to consume.From farm to table, these vegetables are served at her home and the cafeterias at the company and farms. Nobody would

“Of those who have joined the workforce, they’re either helping with the family business or setting up their own. Which one of them isn’t successful? They’re all wealthy enough that they might actually scoff at our assets.”Tania had no comment on that, but finally said, “I’ll leave it all to my grandchildren then.”Just like Grandma May.After her sons got married, she tried giving her sons and daughters-in-law a portion of her assets, but apart from the jewelry she gave her daughters-in-law, they refused anything else.They told her to spend however and as much as she fancied to her heart’s content.How could an old lady spend so much money on her own though?She had many filial grandchildren too. Even then, she could not spend all her money, so she decided to invest it.As the person who raised the outstanding man that Zachary was, she had never made a loss in her investments before. As a result, her personal assets just kept growing.Grandma May then said she was going to l

Elisa teased the secretary, “Do you want to get married, Helen? I can introduce some guys to you. I guarantee you’ll be happy for the rest of your life.”Helen was a young, fresh graduate and was recently hired as Serenity’s secretary.Helen refused politely. “Thank you, Ms. Stone. However, I’ve been dating my boyfriend since I was in uni. We’re in a steady relationship, and I have no thoughts of breaking up.”“Where does your boyfriend work?” Elisa asked. “He recently got a job at a small company. I don’t know if he’ll stay for long. He said his remuneration package isn’t as good as mine.”Upon mentioning her boyfriend’s job, Helen's smiling expression turned into worry. She had a good relationship with him. However, he had not gotten any good job offers but still liked comparing himself with her. He believed that as a man, his salary could not be less than that of his partner. He found it embarrassing. Nevertheless, just like Helen, he was a fresh graduate without much

Serenity walked out of the office with her bag. The preschool was a ten-minute drive from the company. When she arrived, many luxury cars were already parked outside. Sonny was studying in the best preschool in Wiltspoon with fellow students coming from wealthy families. It was like a luxury car gallery outside the preschool before and after class started.Serenity got out of her car and walked to the entrance. She handed her pass to a teacher and waited for her to guide Sonny out. In the meantime, Serenity looked around. Mrs. Longbottom was not there. She did not see Mrs. Longbottom when she dropped off Sonny at school that morning either. Now that Serenity did not see Mrs. Longbottom after having met her frequently those days, she could not help but feel that she and Camryn might be overthinking. Maybe Mrs. Longbottom was not Carrie after all. Was their uncanny voices truly a coincidence?Serenity took her phone and sent a voice message to Camryn. She whispered, “Di

Serenity said, “Even if we can’t prove it this time, there’ll be other opportunities to do so. As long as she’s pretending, we can definitely find a flaw.“Tasha doesn’t know Mrs. Longbottom or Carrie well. She probably can’t prove anything.”Camryn agreed. “We’ll have to wait for another chance to present itself. I think Mrs. Longbottom is targeting you. You meet her much more often than I do.“Do you ever see Mrs. Longbottom’s younger sister-in-law every time you bump into her at the preschool?”Serenity answered, “No. She would always say that her sister-in-law just entered or wasn’t out yet. I don’t know if she’s telling the truth or not. I’ll hide in my car the next time I meet her to see if she truly picks up a child.“Did something happen at your company?”Serenity changed the topic. “Just attending a few meetings and handling some important documents. Since I’ve regained my sight, I should check on the company occasionally. I can’t push all my responsibility onto Dal. M

Next, Sonny told the driver and bodyguard, “I got a certificate, mister driver and mister bodyguard.”They showered him with compliments too. In the meantime, Serenity initiated a video call with Liberty. Liberty only answered after some time, whispering, “Seren, I’ll call you back later if this isn’t urgent. I’m negotiating with a client now.”“Alrighty. You can go on with your work. It’s nothing urgent. I just picked Sonny up. He wants to tell you that he got a certificate.”Liberty laughed. “Sonny did a good job. I’ll call you back later.”“Bye.”“Bye, Mom. Please earn more money to pay for my school fees.”Liberty smiled. “Okay. You have to study hard and listen to Aunt Ser, Sonny. Don’t be naughty. If you are, I’ll ask Aunt Ser to slap your butt.”Sonny winced. “I’m a good boy.”After speaking, he quickly ended the video call. He could imagine his mother’s hand reaching out from the phone to slap his butt. However, that had never happened before. Whenever he made a m

Serenity brought Sonny to Lewis & Co. He played in Duncan’s office for a while. As the trip to FC Manor was still on his mind, he told Serenity to take him to York Corporation not long after. He wanted to meet Zachary as soon as possible. Duncan laughed. “I guess your love for me is just lip service. You just got here, yet you’re already leaving to look for Zachary.”He shut down his computer and stood up by using the table to support his weight. After taking two steps, he sat in his wheelchair and moved it forward. He said, “I’ll go with you. I have a project that I want to discuss with him anyway.”Serenity wanted to push Duncan’s wheelchair but was rejected. “I switched to an electric wheelchair. I can control it myself.”Serenity said, “You should’ve done that long ago.”“If I did, your sister might still not be mine now.”Serenity was speechless. She thought Duncan was a casual and honest person. She was sorely mistaken. He established Lewis & Co. and increased its

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

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
