Se connecterThe Yorks raised their children strictly according to Grandma May’s traditional playbook. It was not just about getting good grades in school; the kids were also required to have incredible life skills. In short, they had to be well-rounded, fully capable individuals who could handle anything thrown their way.As the future head of the Fisher family, Jeanne shouldered a massive burden. Even though her parents pampered her and spoiled her rotten, she had to master every single lesson required of an heir. That was why basic household chores like cooking and prepping meals were a total walk in the park for her.Serenity smiled and said, “You rarely get a chance to visit, and here you are helping me with chores. I’m starting to feel a little guilty.”“Oh, I do this at home all the time. Sometimes I even cook full meals for Mom and Dad.” “How are your parents doing lately?” Serenity asked, checking in on Liberty’s life.In truth, the two sisters called or video-chatted with each oth
Jeanne spent about half an hour walking around the office before receiving a call from Serenity. Instead of heading back up to Sonny’s office, she headed straight for the exit. “Aunt Seren!” Seeing Serenity, Jeanne jogged out of the building.Serenity had not bothered driving into the company parking lot to avoid the hassle. Instead, she had just pulled up by the front gates and gave Jeanne a call.Watching Jeanne jog toward her, Serenity smiled and said, “Slow down! You’re in heels.”However, Jeanne did not stop.“Did you let Sonny know you were leaving?” Serenity handed her a large bag of snacks and reached out to gently stroke her cheek, adding, “You’ve lost weight. Have you been skipping meals? I know work is important, but your health comes first. You need to eat on time and stop staying up so late.”“I lost weight? I thought I was gaining some.” Jeanne took the heavy bag of snacks from Serenity. They were all her favorites. When she was a little girl, she had been a to
Jeanne’s eyes instantly lit up, and she asked, “Who?”“Ms. Callia.” Jeanne went speechless for a second. “Callia is our cousin. Of course, he stays in close touch with her. I’m asking if Sonny has a romantic interest! You’re his personal secretary, and you’re always with him, so you must know something.”“In that case, no, there really isn’t anyone. Mr. Brown doesn’t closely associate with any young women outside of work. In fact, ninety-nine percent of the female executives we do business with are much older than he is, usually by ten to twenty years, and some are even grandmothers.”Jeanne looked disappointed. “Are there really no younger ones? Don’t those business moguls have daughters, younger sisters, or granddaughters?”“Well, they do bring their daughters or granddaughters along to networking events sometimes to show them the ropes, but none of them have much personal contact with the boss.”Joseph smiled at Jeanne and added, “Ms. Jeanne, if Mr. Brown ever falls in love,
Jeanne knew there was gossip. She immediately stood up, slid over to sit right next to Sonny, and asked with intense curiosity, “Wait, Sonny, who wouldn’t be interested in you? Do you actually have a crush on someone? And she doesn't feel the same for you?”Good grief, who was this incredible woman who could actually resist her classy, handsome, generous, and utterly competent older brother?“No, I don’t have a crush on anyone.” “Oh, you definitely do! You definitely thought of someone just now, which is why you said there’s at least one person who wouldn’t be interested. Who is she? Tell me, Sonny. I promise I’ll keep your secret. I can even help you win her over! I’ll become her friend, get close to her, and then act as your ultimate wingwoman!”Jeanne nudged him, trying to coax the name out of him. She was dying to know who this mystery girl was. She deeply admired whoever had that kind of willpower.Sonny flicked Jeanne's forehead lightly, completely amused. “Do you really
“Uncle Zack is truly devoted to Aunt Seren. They’ve been married for decades, but they're as in love as if they were still in their first relationship—no, they’re more in love than most people's first relationships.”Sonny replied, “Well, Mom and Dunc have a great relationship too, you know.”“Oh, absolutely. My parents are incredibly devoted to each other, and Dad spoils Mom more than anyone. That's why when I eventually marry, I want to find a man just like him.”Jeanne was well aware that her future husband would have to marry into her family rather than her marrying into his. In fact, her parents had started scouting the local areas and neighboring cities for eligible young bachelors. They specifically looked for families with multiple sons, knowing that parents with an only one child would rarely agree to let their son marry into another family.Of course, the candidates could not be slackers either; spoiled trust-fund brats were strictly out of the question. While they di
Sonny said with a smile, “Never. I always have time for you.” He motioned for Jeanne to sit on the sofa. “Coffee or tea?” After much thought, Jeanne replied, “I’ll just have a glass of water. I want to go to bed early tonight, so no caffeine for me.” “Alright.’ Sonny poured Jeanne a drink and grabbed some of her favorite snacks. Making herself at home, Jeanne took the snacks and ripped open the wrapper to munch on. “Are you heading to Aunt Seren’s place for dinner?” Sonny asked while taking a seat across from her. “Since I’m here, Aunt Seren is going to be upset if I don’t have dinner with her. I’ll give her a call in a bit, but I can only do dinner. I’m heading back to Jensburg first thing in the morning.” “Look at you, busier than I am.” Sonny took out his phone. “I’ll let Aunt Seren know now.” He dialed Serenity’s number. Once the call connected, he said, “Aunt Seren, Jiggy was in Gallinger for business and stopped by Wiltspoon. She’s going to yours for dinner
Nana dragged her luggage and walked straight to the sofa. She sat down and said, “Zachary, I want to move in with you and Seren.”Zachary’s face stiffened. “Nana, you promised me—”“I’m not stirring trouble, so what are you so nervous for? What are you worried about?” Nana rebutted. Following that, sh
It did not sit well with Zachary.He pulled a long face the entire afternoon, leaving everyone at York Corporation on tenterhooks. It was a mystery who stepped on the toes of the stone-faced CEO. As if his usual aloof demeanor was not enough, the tensed lines running along his chiseled face only mad
Jasmine looked at her cousin suspiciously and asked, “Shawn, why are you asking about this?”Shawn would not admit his feelings for Serenity and that he was looking forward to Serenity’s divorce, so he lied. “I just care about Serenity. I don’t mean anything else. Serenity is a nice girl. If her husb
In a show of support, Jasmine circled Serenity’s new ride and complimented, “Not bad. How much was it?” “More than a hundred thousand bucks.” “Was it paid in full or are you taking up a loan?” “My man made the full payment.” Jasmine beamed and patted her best friend’s shoulder. “Wow, Serenity. It di
