There were too many people in the zoo, so it was easy to create a disturbance and take the opportunity to kidnap a child. On the other hand, everywhere was being monitored in the busy downtown. It would not be easy for the other party to make a move, and they would not dare to act rashly. Zachary guessed that the other party would at least wait for a few months before acting again. Serenity said after some thought, “You have a point. In that case, I’ll treat the zoo incident as an accident and carry on with my normal life. I’ll slowly lure the snake out of its hole.” Zachary kissed her forehead appreciatively. “My wife is getting smarter.” “Was I dumb before?” “No, you’ve always been smart. I like how smart you look.” He was trying hard to survive. “I think I was too dumb to be fooled by you.” Zachary quickly stopped Serenity from talking further. After a kiss, he gently touched her lips and said in a soft voice, “Honey, go to sleep. It’s late.” “Good night.” A
“Also, Lucas was also taken away. If Serenity hadn’t asked someone to go after those people, who knows what will happen to your sister now?” Chelsea kneeled and thanked Serenity after her son was lost and recovered. Even Jessica was shocked. A mother could do anything for her child. Hank said, “Didn’t you see Zachary bringing so many people to pick them up? Besides, Mr. Stone also brought a bunch of people. Sonny is being protected by so many people. As a father, I couldn’t even reach him to care about him.” Jessica was speechless. “On the other hand, Lucas was frightened, and so was my sister. Not only my sister but all of us were terrified.” Hank did not have a good relationship with his sister lately, but Lucas was his nephew, after all. If he had not brought up the trip to the zoo, his mother would not have asked his sister to bring Lucas along, and the accident would not have happened. Fortunately, Lucas was saved. Otherwise, Hank would feel guilty about it. A fami
Jessica responded, “It wasn’t easy for your parents to raise you, but it was easy for mine to raise me? On what basis are you asking me to tolerate them? Your mom never raised me, and she always targets me. She says that I’m not as good as Liberty and keeps comparing me to her. Am I not allowed to be mad? “She always tells me how good Liberty is and how bad I am. She says that I don’t know how to live and always order takeouts instead of cooking at home. I’m usually busy too. She doesn’t cook even though she has nothing to do at home, and she expects me to cook for her when I’m home. Isn’t that bullying? “When I first went to your house, your mom treated me very well, and so did your sister. I only kept talking about Liberty to your sister and mom because I thought she was bad at handling her relationship with your mom. Now, I realize that they’re just too good at acting and managed to fool me as well.” What was more, Jessica got herself into this situation herself. “So much fo
Jessica took so much effort to snatch Hank away from Liberty and became the missus. She would go on no matter how difficult the road was. Otherwise, she would be seen as a joke by Liberty. Liberty would say that it was karma! “Go to sleep and stop turning and tossing in bed. Lucas isn’t your son. My sister might not even act like you. You’re just his aunt, and yet you’re so frightened that you can’t sleep.” Hank embraced Jessica and yawned. He closed his eyes and said, “I’m so sleepy.” Jessica cursed internally. She was not acting like this because of Lucas. Lucas was a spoiled brat. He ruined a lot of her skincare and makeup, so she hated him very much. She was flustered to see Lucas being carried away, but she was not worried at all. In fact, she was quite pleased. Serenity and her sister were just kind-hearted and generous to be willing to send people to save Lucas. Jessica thought that she would not save Lucas if it were her. It would be best if he was abducted. Che
Grandma May only muttered for a while. She did not continue the topic. “Babe, ask Mrs. Lane to drive the car you gave me during Valentine’s. It’s too inconvenient to go out without a car,” Serenity suggested. “Okay.” Zachary agreed with a smile. He finally gave his wife a Valentine’s gift. Grandma May said to Serenity, “Seren, this is how it should be. Your man earns money for you to spend, so spend as much as you want. The more you spend, the happier he’ll be, and the more motivated he’ll be to earn more money. If you don’t spend enough, the money he earns is just a string of numbers to him. He doesn’t feel anything and won’t feel accomplished by looking at them.” Serenity said with a smile, “Nana, I’m not short of money to spend.” Zachary often transferred money into the card for her daily spending. She had almost finished her savings, but she could not finish spending the money from Zachary no matter what. Besides, she was not a reckless spender. Everything she w
“Honey, you must think of a way to save Carrie. She has never been treated roughly before.” Mrs. Newman was worried about her younger daughter. She had not even been that worried about her son, who was still in high school. However, her son went to a boarding school and was in his senior year. He could only return home once a month, so she only had to transfer money to her son’s card. Her son was much more mature than her daughter, but she did not like that he was protective of his elder sister, Camryn. Whenever Mrs. Newman’s son was at home, she had to be gentler toward Camryn to prevent her son from quarreling with her. “Carrie is just in detention for fifteen days. She’ll be out when the days are up. We should be worried about Mrs. York suing her.”Mr. Newman sighed. “We have to apologize to them.”He was also anxious that his cherished daughter had caused trouble. However, unlike his wife who simply thought of getting their daughter out, he thought further ahead. “It’s
Camryn faced the car and tried to see who parked the car. Unfortunately, it was still dark in front of her, with only a glimmer of light. That faint light was not enough for her to see things clearly. The light felt so close yet so far. “Do you still walk to the store every day?”A raspy voice could be heard. Camryn recognized it. It was Callum’s voice. Callum was tricked into sending Camryn back to her store once by his sister-in-law. When she thanked him and asked for his name, he did not hide his identity like his brother and told her that he was the young master of Yorks. “Mr. York.”After finding out it was Callum, Camryn showed her signature smile. “Does the Newman family not have a driver?”“The Newman family does. I don’t.”Callum pressed his lips together. The wife candidate his nana chose for him was a blind and pitiful girl. She lost her dad and was not loved by her mother. “Get on. I’ll give you a ride to the store.”Camryn did not move. She asked Callum
Callum turned to glance at her and said, “You’re blind. You can’t wave the bus down even if it passes by.”Camryn replied, “The security guards at the main entrance are very helpful. They would wave down the bus for me every day and watch me get on.”Callum did not say a word. They did not know each other well, after all. Callum initially did not intend to make a move so fast. After being tricked by his sister-in-law, he started pursuing Camryn passively so that his brother and sister-in-law would not watch him make a fool of himself. His nana only gave him the basic information. He knew nothing else. Without understanding and familiarity, there was nothing much to talk about. One of them drove attentively, while the other paid attention to the music playing in the car along the way. The car stopped when they arrived at Spring Blossoms. Callum turned toward Camryn and said, “Ms. Newman, we’ve arrived at your flower shop.”She replied okay and unfastened the seatbelt. N
