Serenity stopped the car in front of York Corporationโs building before giving Zachary another call. While on the road, she had called Zachary no fewer than twenty times. The jealousy-ridden sourpuss refused to take her calls. It made her worried sick! Fortunately, Zachary finally accepted her call. โIโm at the entrance of your office building, Zachary. Can you take thirty minutes off work? Come out. I need to talk to you.โ Jumping to his feet, Zachary approached the window in the meeting room and pulled open the curtains to look down. Since he was on a high floor and far away from the ground, Zachary could not tell if the car at the entrance belonged to Serenity. โAre you listening, Zachary? Say something.โ Serenity uttered anxiously, โCome out. Iโll wait for you at the entrance until youโre off work if you donโt come out.โ Zacharyโs husky voice came through. โHang on. Iโll be right out.โ Closing the curtains, he turned on his heel to walk out of the meeting roo

โYouโre a b*stard! You wonโt even give me a chance to explain. What you see isnโt always the truth.โ Serenity let go of Zachary and angrily pinched him on the arm. He scared her. She thought they were entering another phase of silent treatment. Zachary quietly took her pinching. It hurt like hell, but he did not care. All was good knowing that she cared about him. โShawn confessed his feelings to me, but I rejected him. Iโm your wife. I wonโt leave you unless you decide you donโt want me anymore.โ โReally?โ The concealment of his identity came to mind. Would she stay by his side when she was to find out that he had been lying to her for so long? โDonโt you believe me?โ Letting out a sigh, Zachary pulled her into his arms. โSerenity, I was really angry when I saw you with Shawn. My instinct told me to leave. I know that you were not to blame. Shawn was all over you.โThe truth isโฆ Iโm jealous. โIโm green with envy. Iโm jealous at the thought Shawn loves you and

โAlthough you can kickbox, you should stay away from him. Your husband is petty-minded and canโt stand to see you together with him. Iโll get jealous even though heโs the one all over you.โ Zachary was feeling jealous in the past but he never admitted to it back then. It would not matter to Zachary who Serenity was with if he did not care. Now that he had feelings for Serenity, Zachary lost his head and was out for blood. โIโll chase him away if he comes along, but I canโt cut off his legs to stop him from coming.โ Zachary put on a stern look and said, โIโll make sure he doesnโt show his face.โ โWhat are you planning to do? Donโt do anything stupid.โ Zachary pinched her cheek. โDonโt worry. I wonโt do anything stupid now that I have you.โ He wanted to spend the rest of his days with her. Zachary had made plans to end partnerships with the Lowes and even steal from them some projects that were in talks. The Lowes would know the Yorks were putting the heat on them. Zac

โIโm not petty like you.โ Zachary replied hesitantly, โYouโre mad.โ โYes, Iโm mad. I sent you so many text messages, yet youโre cruel enough not to reply to any one of them.โ While getting out of the car, Serenity pulled Zachary out together with her. She put the umbrella into his hand and said, โYou should get back to work. I got to go.โ She was still hungry. Serenity did not have the chance to drink the hot cocoa he made for her this morning and now her stomach was aching. โIโll watch you leave from here.โ Since Elisa and her mother came looking for Serenity, they must be there to talk about Mrs. Stoneโs sister.Zachary could not keep Serenity for long. Serenity sat behind the wheel and waved at Zachary, saying, โLet me know beforehand if youโre coming over for lunch. Otherwise, you wouldnโt even have any leftovers.โ โSure.โ Zachary would not head to the shop if Mrs. Stone and her daughter were there. Serenity soon drove away. Standing there, Zachary watched

For the sake of peace and quiet, Jasmine did not hesitate to lie on the floor at Mrs. Dawsonโs birthday celebration. It meant that the pressure to get married was pretty bad for Jasmine. Josh would not be able to wiggle his way out of the situation if Mrs. Sox caught him visiting Jasmine. Although Jasmine was his type, nothing was carved in stone yet between them. They had not reached the stage of meeting the parents. Josh only let the head of the Bucham household know about it while keeping it from the others. He was afraid the seniors of his family would turn up in a large group at Jasmineโs house and scare her off. Jasmine thanked Joshโs show of concern. The pair did not chat for long and ended the phone conversation. โฆ Elisa and her mother waited at Serenityโs shop for Serenityโs return. Shawn left after Elisa and her mother came along. Shawnโs mother warned him to keep a distance from Elisa. The Lowes did not want to cross the fiery princess of the Stones. Mrs.

โHave you met Serenityโs husband before?โ Mrs. Stone asked her daughter. If Serenity and her sister turned out to be her nieces, Mrs. Stone, as the aunt, should assess the men for her nieces. โIโve never met him before. He seems to be busy at work. You know only elites could join York Corporation, and work can get busy. I think her husbandโs working in higher management, so work must take up a lot of his time.โSerenityโs expression started to soften when she talked about him. I think theyโre developing feelings for each other.โ Elisa did not pay an awful lot of attention to Serenity's marriage. As she had loved before, Elisa could tell the subtle changes in Serenity toward her husband. After much thought, Elisa added, โBut they have not become a real couple. Their marriage is only in name at present.โ โThey entered the marriage without any feelings for one another. Everything should fall into place since theyโre keeping the marriage in name while nurturing their relations

โMy breakfastโs probably not warm anymore. Iโll go heat it up in the kitchen. Elisa, youโre a regular here. Please keep Mrs. Stone entertained.โ Elisa replied with a smile, โDonโt worry. My mom and I wonโt be strangers. Your shop is home to me.โ Serenity thought to herself, โMy shop is not up to your standard with the wealth your family owns.โShe took the breakfast packed by Zachary to the kitchen and heated it up before enjoying her meal in the kitchen. Zachary made her hot cocoa. Thanks to the insulated cup, the drink was still warm. Her arms and legs were feeling cold since the weather turned chilly, and her Aunt Flo came to visit as well. Cupping the insulated cup, Serenity felt the warmth in her belly after taking a sip of hot cocoa. Ring, ring, ringโฆHer phone rang. While sipping on her hot cocoa, she pulled out her phone for a look. It was Zachary. She took the call. โAre you at the shop?โ Zachary looked at the time before calling. โYes, Iโm at the shop.โ

โIs Shawn gone?โ Zachary had not forgotten about his love rival. โI didnโt see him when I came back. Are you still jealous?โ Zachary fell silent for a while before replying, โWell, you said thatโs how I am. I guess jealousy might become a habit of mine.โ Josh and Grandma May would be throwing shade at him if they were around. Serenity chuckled. โI should make you eat your greens every day then.โ Since he enjoyed turning green with envy, she might as well serve up all the greens he could eat. โI love to eat whatever you make me.โ โZachary, you sure have honeyed lips. Whatโs up with all the sweet talk recently?โ Zachary twitched by the corner of his lips. Nana often complained about his lack of sweet nothings to Serenity. Now that he had given it a go, Serenity fussed about his honeyed lips. She probably did not like sweet talk. โI donโt want to take up more of your time.โ โOkay.โ Serenity was the first to end the call. Zachary moved the phone away from his ear

Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.โHowโs Sonny been lately?โLiberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.โSame as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.โSerenity added, โSonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesnโt seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesnโt like going to the Brownsโ place, and he doesnโt want to take their calls either.โHankโs mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why heโs upset with them.โDuring the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f

Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.โBabe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Donโt worry too much,โ Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.โYou are my rock. If even you are nervous, Iโll start feeling anxious too, and that wonโt be good.โHearing this, Zachary immediately said, โSeren, donโt worry. Iโll protect both of you. Alright, I wonโt be so nervous anymore.โHe gently touched her rounded belly again. โLilโ Bun should be a calm kid. Heโs not that mischievous.โHe felt that the babyโs movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m

โJust hit the gym a few more times. Lately, youโve been spending less time there.โEvery day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.โOw.โ Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, โIs it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Letโs go to the hospital right away.โHe was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.โDonโt be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. Itโs not happening so soon. Itโs just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.โAs she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.

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 Serenityโs 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 Zacharyโs eyes, his wifeโs 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

โYou should have gotten rid of them all back then and cultivated a network of people loyal only to you.โ Manny felt that his father should not have spared those people in the first place.Tony said, โThere were too many of them, all relatives and friends with the same goal as us. We couldnโt eliminate them all at once.โBack 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 familyโs 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

Tati also finished her plate of pastries.She followed Isabella out.โIsa, youโre always so busy and exhausted. If youโre 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. Itโs the same either way.โTati wanted Isabella to take the day off so Isabella could spend some time with Austin and nurture their relationship.However, Isabella still declined Tatiโs kind offer.She said, โNot today. Thereโs an important meeting today, and I have two important clients to meet. Iโm fine, really. Donโt worry. From now on, I wonโt touch alcohol.โGiven 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 someoneโs 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, โItโs all thanks to Ms. Isabellaโs guidance.โHe 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.โAfter eating the sweets, I feel much better.โ 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.โJust ignore him. Are you really going to skip work because of him?โIsabella added calmly to Tati, โIf you let him provoke you, heโll only cling to you even more. If you act like he doesnโt exist and donโt respond no matter what he does, heโll naturally give up once he sees that youโre completely unresponsive.โTati said, โIโm afraid that heโll go and bother Edith and Eleanor if he doesnโt get anywhere with me. They donโt have the same resolve as we do.โShe, therefore, decided to bear the brunt of it.โEvery time I see hi
