Zachary was silent for a moment before he said, “In a few years, when our Lil' Pie starts school, her grades will be excellent, too. Everyone in our family has a high IQ.”Serenity laughed. “Lil' Pie is just over a year old and can’t even speak clearly yet. Whether she’ll do well in school in the future, I can’t say, but grades aren’t the most important thing. I just want our children to be healthy and safe.”Even if her children were average students and did not inherit their father’s high IQ, Serenity could accept it. There were plenty of cases where two top students ended up with a child who struggled academically.One could not expect the family’s good fortune to last forever, after all.“That’s true. As long as our children are healthy, safe, and happy—that’s all that matters.”Zachary considered how wealthy they were and that he had a brother and many cousins. Among them all, excluding his youngest three unmarried cousins, they already had eight children. Once those three ma

Zachary did not smoke or drink.His workload had not decreased, but he tried not to work too late, aiming to rest by eleven at night.During that time, Serenity had reduced her workload a bit.Knowing they were preparing for a second child, Jasmine and Elisa had taken over a lot of work, lightening Serenity’s workload a lot.Elisa and Remy also had a son after marriage, but it was still uncertain if they would have a second child.Elisa often complained that most of their relatives and friends had sons, and she ended up having one too. However, what she and her husband really wanted was a daughter.Clive and his wife had a second child, and unsurprisingly, it was another boy. Even Audrey could not help but worry that they were turning into the Yorks and would have a house full of boys, too.Anthony Stone had only gotten married last year and did not have children yet.Currently, the ones with daughters were Ben and Jane, Zachary and Serenity, and Liberty, who had given birth to

Serenity was speechless for a moment before she remarked, “Xavier is only six years old and he’s just a kid who loves to play. Josh shouldn’t be in such a hurry to whip him into shape.”“He started driving everyone crazy as soon as summer break started. That’s why he got sent off for training.”Serenity chuckled but did not say more. Anyone who had raised kids knew how exhausting it could be.“I’ll get back to work, honey. Let’s have a video call tonight after I get home.”“Sure. Call me when you’re back. If it’s early enough, you can chat with the kids. If it’s too late, it’ll just be me keeping you company.”Zachary grinned. “I’d much rather chat with you.”He waited until Serenity blew him a kiss over the phone before finally hanging up, thoroughly mollified.Zachary did not return to the meeting. It was almost over anyway. Callum and Josh could wrap it up just fine.In high spirits, he got up and brewed himself a cup of coffee.With his wife and kids away, he figured he mi

Grandma May, however, loved nothing more than seeing her great-grandchildren playing together. No matter how mischievous the little ones were, in front of her, they were all perfectly well-behaved.Grandma May had personally raised and educated her grandchildren, but by the time the great-grandchildren came along, she no longer had the same energy. Only the first three benefited from her guidance, as they were born when she still had some vigor left.“Since it's summer break, you could take some time to take them out for a trip.”Josh remarked, “After Xavier’s done with his training, I’ll arrange for Jasmine to take the boys out for a while.”As long as proper safety measures were in place, it would be fine.So far, none of the children from their families had been photographed by the media. Whenever they traveled, their itineraries were kept strictly confidential, especially for long-distance trips.In Wiltspoon, they were easily noticed by the press, but once they left the city

With a blissful family life softening his icy demeanor, the current Zachary appeared far more approachable, which, unfortunately, made him even more of a magnet for unwanted attention. Some overconfident women even had the audacity to approach Serenity and express that they were willing to recognize her as the head honcho while they contentedly played second or third fiddle, as long as she was willing to share Zachary.Serenity was not angered by such absurdity. Zachary, however, was livid.By now, Serenity had grown numb. Ever since marrying Zachary, admirers popped up like weeds. She could not be bothered to react unless they directly disrupted her life. She would simply pretend she did not know about it and leave them be. They were only worth her time if they could get close to Zachary.Over the past eight years, only Jenna Daniels had ever managed to get near Zachary due to the nature of her work. No other woman had come close since.If they could not even breach Zachary’s pe

“Mommy’s flower shop doesn’t have grass. You should’ve said so earlier. I would’ve gone with Great-Nana to cut some for you,” replied the little young master.Callum chuckled. “Daddy was just making a comparison. Does Great-Nana know you’re out?”“She knows. I asked Gramma to bring me here. I missed Daddy, and Mommy too.”Callum’s voice softened further. “Daddy missed you, too.”His son’s legal name was Micah York, but everyone called him by his nickname, Merry.“Daddy, we’re on summer break. Why don’t you get a summer break?”Little Merry could not understand why his parents still had to work every day while he got to stay home and play. Sometimes, they even went on business trips and did not come back for days.Callum burst out laughing. “Only students and teachers get summer breaks. If grown-ups didn’t work, how would we earn money? You only get to go to preschool and buy toys because Daddy earns money, you know.”Merry made an “oh”, only half-understanding, before handing t
