Mag-log inWhen the couple came out of the bathroom, Zachary looked completely satisfied, while Serenity looked embarrassed.Seeing his wife’s flushed, rosy face, Zachary could not help leaning over to steal another kiss. “Babe, we’ve been married for so long, yet you still blush?“Looks like you’re very satisfied with my performance.”“Shut up.” Serenity lightly slapped his lips, stopping him from continuing.She returned to the bed, gently lifted the blanket, and lay beside her daughter. Serenity’s heart melted when she saw Callia’s peaceful sleeping face.Behind her, Zachary supported himself with one hand on the bed while he reached across Serenity’s body to gently pinch their daughter’s cheek.Serenity immediately slapped his hand away and whispered, “If you wake her up and she cries, you’ll have to soothe her.”Zachary smiled. “I barely used any force. How could that wake her?”Callia was his precious daughter, so he would not dare pinch hard. If he made her face red and Grandma May
When Zachary returned to the room, Serenity was showered and was just coming out of the bathroom.“Are the boys asleep?” Serenity asked softly.“I turned off the lights for them, so they should fall asleep soon. The three kids were quite active in the evening. Only when Callia cried for you did they stop playing.”Zachary walked over and pulled his wife into his arms.“Babe, don’t you think it’s sweeter when it’s just the two of us? Ever since we had kids, we don’t even dare speak loudly for fear of waking them.”Not to mention intimacy.Even being affectionate required moving their daughter aside to sleep before they dared to be close. Otherwise, they were always worried she might wake up.“Weren’t you the one who wanted kids? When I didn’t get pregnant for half a year after marriage, everyone thought I couldn’t have children. You didn’t say it, but you were anxious inside. You really like kids.”From how much he adored Sonny, it was clear Zachary loved children.Though he al
Seeing his beloved wife, Zachary happily pointed it out to his daughter and quickly walked over.Serenity helped Grandma May out of the car.She said, “I just got out of the car and already heard Callia crying. She was crying so loudly that the whole neighborhood could hear it.”Zachary said helplessly, “You know how your precious daughter is. When it’s late and time to sleep, she insists on you holding her. It’s like Daddy’s arms are full of thorns.”He loved his daughter dearly.Usually, his daughter liked him a lot.Every night, however, Callia only wanted her mother.When Callia saw her mother, she instantly stopped crying, though tears still streaked her little face.She reached out her arms, asking to be held.Serenity let go of Grandma May, who no longer needed support because she was too busy feeling sorry for her beloved great-granddaughter.“Mommy’s back. Great-Nana feels so heartbroken for my precious little pie.” The old lady wiped the girl’s tears away. “Don’t cr
“Nana, you’re not staying here tonight?”Grandma May had stayed at the manor for two nights. Alex did not want her to leave because he wanted to learn how to win a girl’s heart.“I’m not staying. I’m not needed these days, so I’ll go back and spend time with my great-granddaughter. She’s much cuter than you all.”Alex had no choice but to stand up and walk his nana and Serenity out.He knew that ever since Grandma May had a great-granddaughter, all the grandsons had been sidelined.Alex remembered that as a child, he often asked his mother why she had not given birth to him as a girl, because if he were a girl, Grandma May would surely love him the most.It left Sasha both amused and exasperated.Sasha said she had dreamed of him being a girl. Unfortunately, he was still a boy.She had four pregnancies, and all four were sons.As his mother put it, it was lucky they were filial and well-raised. Otherwise, they would have driven her mad.It was also fortunate that they were bo
The York brothers had privately said they would not follow the same path as Zachary and Serenity. That path could not be replicated anyway.Serenity chuckled. “Although our love story can’t be copied, love itself is quite simple. If you truly like Dr. Jones, what’s there to fear in confessing?”“I’ll wait a bit longer. I want it to be a sure thing.” Alex was not in a hurry, so Serenity didn’t push further.Grandma May said, “Alex is taking his own sweet time, and it’s making me anxious. If I hadn’t stepped in, he’d still be stuck in place!“Sigh, all my grandsons are so good-looking yet dumb. If not for me, you’d all stay single!”Alex nodded. “Yes, yes, we’re fools who don’t know how to pick our wives. But Nana, you never taught us how either.”The old lady laughed. “Does that even need teaching? You’re all booksmart. This is instinct! When will Sheila have her day off?”“She said if nothing unexpected happens, then it’s this Saturday.”Grandma May said, “Serenity, bring the k
When Alex returned home, he saw two familiar cars parked in the yard. One belonged to his sister-in-law, Serenity, and the other was a bodyguard car.Serenity was here.He parked his bike and went inside with the keys.“Nana, Serenity, I’m back!”Serenity and Grandma May were chatting when Alex came in. Hearing Alex’s voice, Serenity turned toward the door and asked, “Did you deliver the fruits to Dr. Jones?”“I did. She hadn’t gotten off work yet, so I waited at her clinic until she finished.”“Didn’t Callia and Heath come along?” Alex asked about the two children as he sat down.“Nana and I won’t be going back so soon, so we didn’t bring them. Heath has preschool tomorrow. Xavier is there too. With her brothers playing with her, Callia won’t fuss.”When Callia had company, she would not look for her mother.“Your brother is off work already. With him at home watching them, there’s nothing to worry about.”Alex responded, “Oh. Looks like Xavier is basically living at your pl
Hunter and his sons truly adored Celine. They refused to accept the return of Caroline, their biological daughter and sister. They always thought she was an intruder who stole everything that belonged to Celine. They felt nothing for her but resentment. However, Caroline had grown up in a harsh envi
Zachary’s mouth twitched. His nana called him a blockhead again. Serenity could not help but laugh. Grandma May liked to call her grandsons blockheads, but were blockheads this handsome?Sugar glanced at Dylan when everyone’s attention was elsewhere. When Grandma May arrived at the Stones’ manor, she
“You’ll live a long life, Nana. Since Doc is here, he can check on you. If there are any issues, we can get him to prescribe some medicine for you.”They were the closest people to Grandma May. Although they knew death was inevitable, Zachary felt anxious whenever he thought of her eventual departure
Sonny had a simple breakfast before he was led out the door by Zachary, carrying his little school bag, while the rain had not stopped yet. The moment they stepped out, the little boy shivered and said, “It really is cold today, Uncle Zak.”“It’s only just starting to cool down.” Zachary bent down to
