Serenity had reported the issue to the police. She would let the police handle it rather than privately asking for compensation from the Newmans.If the Newmans gave her a new car as compensation for her damaged car, she would accept it. However, she would only accept a new car of the same brand.Serenity bought the car in the fall of last year. She had driven it for less than half a year.Camryn silently shoved the card into her pocket.Serenity went quiet for a moment. Then, she asked Camryn in a more relaxed tone, “Ms. Newman, if I insist on pressing charges against Carrie, will you be able to survive in the Newmans’ house?”“I’ll have a rough time, but that’s how I’ve always been living in that house. Whether or not you press charges against Carrie, they’ll treat me with the same attitude.”Camryn added calmly, “Mrs. York, you can do whatever you want. You don’t have to take me into consideration. After all, the incident started all because of me. You did that to Carrie just
Camryn’s aunt heard that there was a specialist in Annenburg. She thought of begging the specialist to treat Camryn’s eyes. Her aunt said even if it was not possible to meet the said specialist, it would be good to have the specialist’s apprentice take a look at Camryn’s condition as well.The specialist’s apprentice was Camryn’s last hope.After a long period of treatment, Camryn could vaguely see. However, her vision was so unclear that she was no different from a blind person. Even so, she was elated and hopeful of regaining her sight.Nevertheless, she did not dare let anyone else know apart from her aunt.Anyhow, she was like a blind person right now, not able to see.“Ms. Newman, how do you know there are other people in my store when you’re visually impaired?”Camryn laughed and replied, “When I entered your store, I heard their footsteps. The steady footsteps belong to the men whom I guess are your bodyguards.”Serenity and Jasmine exchanged glances.It was said that th
Beep, beep.Upon hearing the sounds of car horns, Camryn quickly got up. At that instant, she had no idea which direction she should walk.Judging from the continuous honks, it was almost time for school hours to end.Camryn walked directly to the right.A honk rang out again.Did she walk in the wrong direction?She hesitated for a moment before she turned around and walked back.Callum had no choice but to get out of the car. He strode toward Camryn and reached out to grip her wrist. Camryn instinctively struggled, but after sensing the cologne on him, she stopped struggling.Callum directly stuffed her into his car. He even looked back and helped her pick up her gifts and white cane. He crammed the things into his car and placed them beside her.Ring, ring…Callum’s phone rang.He parked his car by the roadside first to avoid blocking the parents who came to fetch their children from school.Only after parking his car did he answer his sister-in-law’s call.“Serenity, I
In the evening, parents came to pick up their kids after school. Following the usual rush hour in the bookstore, Serenity headed to her sister’s house for dinner, whereas Jasmine went on a date with Josh. The bookstore would not operate at night.Serenity bought two bags of fruits for her sister.Serenity and Liberty still got along the same way as before. It did not change just because Serenity had become Zachary’s wife.Serenity had the key to her sister’s rented house. She straight away unlocked the door with the key. She pushed open the door, only to see a girl. To be specific, it was Sonny. Sonny was walking around the house in a pretty dress, looking delighted.“Sonny?”Serenity entered the house and shut the door. While laughing, she asked her nephew, “Why are you wearing a dress?”“Aunt Ser.”Sonny scampered over and showed off his dress. “Aunt Ser, do I look good in it?”Serenity placed the two bags of fruits on the coffee table. She carried her nephew and said with a
Thinking about it, Duncan had a net worth of hundreds of millions. Everything he bought was of good quality and expensive. It was normal that he did not know how to ask for a discount. Liberty did not voice her thoughts. Duncan’s spending habits had nothing to do with her. She was simply his tenant. “Aunt Ser, when will I have a little sister?” Sonny asked innocently. Serenity served food for her nephew. “I don’t know either. Even if I got pregnant, what if it’s a little cousin brother?”She had been discussing with Zachary how the York family had always given birth to sons.She suspected the York family was not fated to have daughters. Sonny gave it some thought and said, “Aunt Ser, I want a little sister. I don’t want a cousin brother.”“Why don’t you want a little cousin brother?”“A cousin brother can’t wear skirts, just like me.” Serenity burst out laughing. When she saw her sister eating like a bird and not eating meat, she said, “Liberty, you’ve been waking up
Sonny was happy to see Zachary. His tiny body leaned toward Zachary. Zachary quickly put down the items in his hand to carry the child. Serenity bent over to pick up the two bags of fruits and a carton of milk he had bought. She said with a smile, “Why are you here? Didn’t you say you had a business engagement? I bought two bags of fruits for my sister, and now you too. We even bought the same types of fruits.”Zachary carried Sonny into the house. “That’s because our hearts are linked. Something came up, so my client can’t come over. Tonight’s schedule was canceled, so I rushed over to have a meal.” He knew that his beloved wife was at his sister-in-law’s place. That was one of the benefits of having bodyguards following Serenity. He could give Serenity freedom and not ask about her whereabouts during usual days, but he would also be able to find her with just a call if he wanted to know her location. “Liberty,” Zachary greeted. Seeing that her brother-in-law had come, Libe
Liberty kept quiet.Serenity spoke, “You never took care of Sonny before. He’ll not be able to get used to it and cry if you take him to your place. If you want to visit Sonny, you can come over every day during the daytime and play with him.” Mr. Brown said embarrassedly, “Serenity, we didn’t take care of Sonny before, so we’re trying to make up for it now. We’re old and bored at home. If we help your sister to take care of Sonny, she’ll be able to focus on earning money too.”He asked the child in his arms next, “Sonny, do you want to follow Granddad and Grandmom home?”Sonny asked, “Is Mom coming?”Mr. Brown was stunned. He replied, “Your mom isn’t going, but your dad is in Granddad and Grandmom’s home. Sonny, follow us back and stay with us, okay? That way, your mom won’t be tired as well.”Sonny twisted and turned to get down. He ran back to the table, climbed onto his chair, and sat down. “I want to eat. If Mom isn’t going, I won’t go too. I want Mom!”Mr. and Mrs. Brown
In Mrs. Brown’s words, her son would not be hers if she returned to her old home. Her son would be under Jessica’s complete control. Besides, Hank and Jessica had not held their wedding yet. Jessica said only to hold the wedding after their house renovation was done. She would appear more presentable that way. They were living in a rented house. Jessica’s family would not even have a place to stay if they were to have a wedding before that. If Mr. and Mrs. Brown could take care of Sonny, they would not be as bored as they were now and could nurture their relationship with Sonny. After all, Sonny was the Brown family’s only hope of continuing the family line. Jessica was not getting pregnant. They did not even know whether she was fertile or not. Liberty had vegetarian food. She finished her meal in no time. Seeing her former in-laws whispering to each other, she walked over and took the four bags of fruits her sister and brother-in-law brought to the kitchen.
