LOGIN“Rowan doesn’t dare to say he’ll surpass all of you, but at least he wants to close the gap so that people won’t say the youngest son of the York family is useless while you’re all so outstanding that he can’t even catch up.“All of that is pressure. Don’t be fooled by how carefree and playful he seems, like a kid who hasn’t grown up. He’s actually under immense pressure. Only in front of us sisters-in-law can he truly relax a bit.”Among all of them, it was the sisters-in-law who truly did not pressure Rowan.Whenever one of his brothers bullied him, he would complain to that brother’s wife, and she would stand up for him.Rowan knew his sisters-in-law were his strongest backing.Zachary snorted. “Having pressure is a good thing. The worst would be if he were completely carefree with no sense of pressure, then he’d never improve.“But from what I see, he’s very optimistic. Even if the sky fell, he would treat it like a blanket.”Serenity agreed with her husband’s assessment.R
The business of York Corporation was stable, and with so many capable cousins, they could share much of the workload, so Zachary was never overwhelmed.After marriage, Zachary rarely left early and returned late. Before that, his health had suffered somewhat due to heavy workloads, immense pressure, frequent late nights, and constant social drinking.Later, with fewer late nights and social events, and with his wife keeping an eye on his meals, those minor health issues gradually improved.“Babe, let’s sleep early to get a proper, healthy rest,” Zachary said gently.If they kept talking, he feared Serenity would feel upset thinking about her late parents.Serenity let out a soft hum in his arms.“By the way, how are Alex and Dr. Jones doing?” Zachary asked, successfully shifting his wife’s attention.“Dr. Jones hasn’t fallen for him yet. Alex said he’s taking it slow, focusing on companionship first, then confessing his love for her when she gets more familiar with him.“Nana i
When 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
“I ate in the car.”Josh was speechless.“By the way, I saw something interesting earlier. Do you want to hear about it?”Zachary gave him a look and walked ahead. His handsome face remained expressionless, and his lips pursed into a line as he stayed silent.Josh hated that attitude, but he could not s
They then waited until late at night when there were only a few cars on the road. They waited by the road for Serenity to pass by and stop her car.“How much money she spent has nothing to do with me. Back then, when she used money to cut off our ties as grandparents and grandchildren, she said we ne
“We’ve been operating our business on this street for years now. You all know what Seren’s like. Whatever that’s written online is bullsh*t.”Serenity did not say much to defend herself. It was Jasmine, who could not stand people getting the wrong message about her best friend, sticking up for Sereni
Serenity put the bags on the coffee table before hugging Sonny and asking him gently, “Sonny, are you eating porridge?”Sonny nodded. “Yes.”“Are you full?”Sonny rubbed his belly, thought about it, and shook his head. He felt that he had not had enough and was still a little hungry.Serenity smiled. Sh
