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
Grandma May did not budge. She said, “Dylan, you can ask Kevin about this and learn from him.”“I’m not running away, Nana. How can I do that when you’re doing all of this for our sake? I have really been having those dreams for some time now, and they have all been about the woman in my drawing.”He
Carrie was furious.November was not as sunny as summer but remained rather warm in Wiltspoon for this time of the year. Even during winter, one could get by with a long-sleeved shirt on a sunny day, not to mention that it was barely winter now.Carrie felt hot after standing under the sun for a long
The convoy of bridal cars that Zachary sent to Serenity was approaching. A hundred-car bridal convoy set out from Wildridge Manor to The Oasis. The grand fleet of cars attracted a lot of attention, and many people took pictures.Zachary, who was not usually keen to be in the media, graciously invited
Julian said, “Ms. Crawford, you don’t have to be so polite. We’re friends now, and you also saved my life.”Quinn smiled. “Okay. Let’s not be too polite with each other. I find it awkward too. I prefer being casual, so being overly courteous makes me uncomfortable. You don’t have to keep mentioning t
