Chapter 521

Author: Gu Lingfei
Liberty nodded and answered, “I took a few days off. Sonny was frightened, so I wanted to stay with him.”

“Then what are you doing here? Where’s your son?”

Liberty was speechless.

Should she tell the truth?

Duncan looked around, but he did not see the strong and smart little boy.

However, the boy was afraid of him. Every time he saw Duncan, he was so afraid that he would burrow into Liberty’s arms as if Duncan was the devil.

“Sonny is taking a nap at home. Mrs. Lane is watching him, so I came out to run some errands.”

Duncan hummed and asked, “What kind of errands?”

When Liberty hesitated to speak, he laughed and said, “If you can’t tell me, then forget it. I was just being nosy because I happened to see you passing by and remembered that you took leave.

“Well, carry on with your business. I’ll leave now.”

Duncan retracted the large hand that was on Liberty’s bike, turned around, and left.

“Take care, Mr. Lewis,” said Liberty.

Duncan did not look back but raised his hand in

    He could still act.“Josh and Callum, you two accompany the clients back to the company. I’ll go over and talk to Serenity.”Zachary instructed the two in a low voice then walked toward Serenity in large strides.The bodyguards naturally did not dare follow him.“Did Mr. York see someone he knows?”The few clients watched in amazement as they saw Zachary walk toward an unfamiliar woman.After all, unless it was family, he usually kept women at least three meters away from him.“Yeah, they’re acquaintances.”Josh smiled and ushered the clients toward their cars.Seeing that Josh did not plan to elaborate, they knew their place and stopped asking.“Seren.”Zachary walked up to Serenity and stretched out his arms to straighten her jacket. “What are you doing here? Did you come here just to wait for me because you knew I was meeting clients for business here?”The rain stopped at noon but it was still cold.Serenity saw the throng of men in suits getting in their luxury cars a

    Earlier when the entourage appeared, Serenity did not notice Jim leaving to the back of the hotel to hide.She also had no idea that the man sitting beside her, who had been caring for her and gave her all the tingly warmth in the cold, was actually a superb actor. She said to Zachary, “My sister called earlier. She and Hank had agreed on the conditions for the divorce.”“How did it go?”“All the properties under Hank’s name will be divided equally with my sister. She’s not asking for the house and car, but he has to compensate an additional sum of money to her. Sonny’s custody will belong to my sister, and he has to pay three thousand per month for child support.“His request is that my sister will give him the evidence against him, including all copies she made. He also made her promise not to retaliate against him after the divorce.”“What did your sister say then?”“She agreed, but she only promised that she would not retaliate against him herself.”“She’s giving us the ch

    “Liberty is still going through the divorce and hasn’t completely secured her job yet. Let’s help her pay for the rent in the meantime.”Zachary was more than willing to simply hand over a house for his sister-in-law and her son to live in. Liberty was the person closest to his wife, so he would not mistreat her.However, he could not do that now.Thinking of the sisters’ characters, even if he gave Liberty a house, she would not accept it.“My sister will get more than one million dollars worth of assets from Hank. She won’t let us pay the rent for her.”The sisters supported each other, but they would not take it for granted.Both the sisters would not pluck the moon from the sky for each other to go overboard in providing help; they simply respected and supported each other where necessary.Zachary did not say anything.Soon, they arrived at York Corporation.Zachary stopped the car and looked sideways at Serenity.Serenity was looking at him too and grinned. “We’re at you

    Feeling Serenity’s concern for him, Zachary said in a warm voice, “I have a dinner party tonight, so I won’t be home early. You don’t have to wait for me. Go to bed early, but sleep in my room.”His handsome face turned slightly red as he said the last sentence.That was because he remembered how he was the one who told her that his room was off limits and had forbidden her from entering his room.Now, he was the one asking her to enter his room.Serenity smiled. “Sure. I’ll leave the door unlocked for you. Hurry up and go in. Don’t stand here in the cold wind.”Zachary turned around reluctantly and went into the building.Serenity watched his handsome figure walk farther away before driving away.After entering the office building, Zachary saw Josh standing there, looking at him with a smile.Zachary was speechless.‘This gossiper!’He shot a side glance at Josh and walked straight ahead.Josh did not care about how Zachary looked at him and he followed suit. After entering

    “What did you say to him?”“What can I say? I can’t tell him bluntly that his successor is trying to steal your woman from you. This was caused by your personal matters, so you deal with it yourself. I’ll ask Mr. Chaplin to squeeze in a time for you to meet with Mr. Lowe.”Zachary said indifferently, “Save it for after the New Year’s. I’m going on a business trip in two days.”Josh froze, suspecting he had misheard. “You’re going on a business trip? Where to? Can you bear to leave your wife? Your relationship happens to be improving now.”Zachary was silent for a long time before saying, “There’s no harm in telling you this. The whole city will know sooner.”There was finally gossip to share.As the representative of all gossipers, Josh’s ears immediately perked up. He grinned and asked, “What happened?”“The sister who Mrs. Stone has been looking for is most likely my mother-in-law.”Josh paused before saying, “You have a mother-in-law? I mean, didn’t your mother-in-law die a

    If Serenity had known from the beginning that Zachary was the heir of the York family, she would not have married him so suddenly.It could be said that the entire York family, starting from Grandma May, hid the truth from Serenity.Josh spat in his heart, ‘The whole family are liars.’Even if Grandma May wanted a granddaughter-in-law, this was not the way.Josh suddenly felt distressed when he remembered that he did not confess his identity to Jasmine. He decided that the next time he saw her, he would tell her that he was actually from the Bucham family; lest he followed in Zachary’s footsteps.“Well, you do you. I’m not you, so I can’t make decisions for you, but your wife’s temper is stubborn. If you don’t handle it well, you two might end up separating.”Zachary’s face went as white as a sheet.He was afraid that Serenity would break it off with him.That was why he wanted to wait until their feelings were deeper and she was reluctant to leave him; only then would it be ap

    In fact, Zachary felt that actions spoke louder than words.It was easier to prove his love for her with concrete actions than to say sweet nothings with his mouth.Of course, if Serenity liked to listen to mushy words, then he would learn no matter how cringy it was.Josh stood up and leaned over to remind his friend in a whisper, “Ask about Ms. Sox.”Zachary pushed him away lightly with one hand. After chatting for a while longer with Serenity over the phone, he helped Josh ask, “Seren, will Ms. Sox be back at the store this afternoon? My colleague was thinking of going to see her because she’s not feeling well.”Serenity replied, “Jas is not coming over. I told her to rest at home and come back when her fever was completely gone. Does your colleague want to see her? He can call her directly and ask her out.”“Ms. Sox is sick, and the temperature dropped today so it’s even colder. My colleague will blame himself if her condition worsens after he asks her out. Send me a message

    Zachary accepted the bag from Mr. Chaplin.Inside contained two red brocade boxes.He took one box out.Josh was not stupid and knew that Grandma May retrieved this from her private treasury to please Serenity.He envied Zachary for having a good grandmother who was worried about his marriage.Grandma May was the pillar of the York family and was respected by everyone. No one would stop her if she arranged for a sudden marriage like the one between Zachary and Serenity.Josh wanted a handful of grandmothers like that.Unfortunately, his grandmother passed away.“I’ll go back to work.”Josh did not want to be further provoked by his best friend again. There were some things that should not be envied.He stood up and left the office with Mr. Chaplin.Zachary looked at the two diamond rings that his nana had sent him and took out his cell phone to call her. “Nana, I’ll buy these two rings from you. How can I accept wedding rings as a gift from you?”Grandma May laughed. “Sure.

    Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain.

    With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the

    People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe

    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.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty 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.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During 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.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s 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

    “Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every 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.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As 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.

    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
