Chapter 1225

Author: Gu Lingfei
“Let’s go inside. You must have dinner with us tonight,” Mr. Sox said to his future son-in-law.

For Josh to propose to his daughter before everybody, Mr. Sox was pleased with his future son-in-law. Unlike Mrs. Sox who took to Josh immediately, Mr. Sox needed some warming up.

Despite Mr. Sox’s approval of Josh, the man kept a stoic face and remained courteous to Josh.

“I will stick around for dinner even if you don’t invite me,” Josh brazenly commented. He said hello to Mrs. Lowe and nodded with a smile at Shawn.

“Call your father, Shawn. Tell your dad to join us for dinner here after work.”

Mrs. Lowe happily informed her son to call her husband over. Dinner together would be pleasant.

She had always hoped her niece would find a rich husband. To make it happen, Mrs. Lowe had been playing the matchmaker. It was a pity her niece was not too keen about it. Jasmine went so far as to lie prostrate on the floor at a banquet to stop her chances of marrying up. Since then, Mrs. Lowe

    Josh’s statement made Jasmine blush. The guy just could not wait. “Alright. We’ll have the engagement party, then the visit to city hall, and finally the wedding.” Josh respected Jasmine’s wishes and only wanted the best for her. Doing things in the right order would make the Soxes happy. The engagement party was bound to be a huge event since Josh was a man of position. The attendees were the movers and shakers of Wiltspoon’s higher society.Josh gave a call to his parents and told them that he proposed to Jasmine. Of course, Jasmine said yes. He asked his parents if they were free to come over and discuss the wedding details with his future parents-in-law. Delighted by the news, Mrs. Bucham replied, “I’m busy right now, but nothing comes before my son’s marriage. Alright, I’ll ask your dad and uncle to prepare the gift and head over to your in-laws’.” “Thank you, Mom.” Mrs. Bucham answered with a smile, “Don’t mention it. I’m happy for you. Josh, be nice to Jasmine.

    Jasmine said, “You must introduce to me the girl who wins Julian’s heart. I’m curious as to the type of woman who can tame Julian.” Josh drew close to her ear and kissed her cheek before uttering in a raspy voice, “You’re now part of the Bucham family. We will be the first to know when Julian finds a girl.” Jasmine gave him a nudge. “The elders are around.” Yet, he kissed her. Sure, Jasmine was bold. However, she was shy to engage in any sort of intimacy in the presence of elders. “The closer we are, the happier they get.” Jasmine took a quick look at the oldies. They were going back and forth on the date of the engagement party to pay attention to the couple. “Let’s go for a stroll,” Jasmine suggested. Josh was more than happy to oblige. “Mom, Josh and I are going to take a walk.” Jasmine told her mom before dragging Josh out the door. The floral display at the gate shimmered under the night sky. Josh had installed colorful fairy lights along the roses. Once the

    Unable to stand the wait, Serenity gave Zachary a call. The phone was ringing, but Zachary did not pick up. “Is he really jealous?” she mumbled to herself as she gave up calling him.She placed her phone on the cash register and sat in silence for a while before taking out her crafting tools. She might as well pick up on crafting since she had nothing to do. Serenity was only getting to it when a bouquet of flowers appeared before her eyes. Lifting her chin, Serenity met a pair of beady eyes. “You… Why didn’t you pick up your phone? You could’ve at least answered your text message.” Dropping the crafting, Serenity took the bouquet and groaned. Zachary looked deeply into her eyes and replied, “I’m here now, so I didn’t take the call. I was busy during the day so I could get off work early today.” Seeing that she had finished a miniature tree, he picked up the copper wire product for a look. “Didn’t you hire people? Don’t tire yourself out. You need to watch your hands

    Zachary’s scorching lips could touch Serenity’s cheek if she cocked her head back. Putting down the flowers, Serenity stripped his arms from around her, stood up, and turned around to meet him face-to-face. “I asked. Shawn came back because his mother wasn’t feeling well. He took two days off and combined with the weekend, he had four days to visit his mom.“He thought about dropping in to see Jas since he was passing by the bookshop. He didn’t come for me.“Jas told me that Shawn called her before coming to see if I was at the shop. He only came when he was sure I was not there. I ran into him when he was about to leave. We didn’t talk for more than five minutes.“Harry and Milo were outside watching. You know your bodyguards will be on your side if anything does happen.” Serenity helplessly pinched his face. “Oh, you. You’re always jealous. I told you that I see Shawn as a younger brother. I don’t have that kind of feeling for him.” Taking her pinching hand, Zachary leaned

    Zachary asked. “We need to deliver some poultry to my sister, so we should leave now.” Her sister might be asleep if they went too late. The last thing they wanted was to wake Liberty up. Serenity closed the shop and got into Zachary’s car while the bodyguards took her car back.During the ride, she asked Zachary, “Any news on the kidnapping at the zoo? Was it not the Newmans?” Zachary took a moment in silence before answering, “The only thing confirmed is that Mr. Newman wasn’t in on it.” “If it wasn’t him, was it Mrs. Newman?” He mentioned nothing about Mrs. Newman. “Josh is still investigating. Nothing is concrete for now, but we have our eyes on Mrs. Newman.” Zachary had believed the prime target was him right from the start. After a series of investigations though, he realized that the mastermind was after Serenity, not him. Since Mrs. Newman and her daughter had a grudge against Serenity, they zeroed in on Mrs. Newman. “Mr. Newman and his wife seem to have a lo

    Holding Serenity in his arms, Zachary lovingly uttered, “I can make time once I’m done with the tasks at hand. I’ll take you to visit Ben and his wife. Ben carries his mom’s last name too.” Zachary whispered in Serenity’s ear, “You’re the heroine of a book too, honey. Everybody wants to be you.” Serenity nudged him away. He would always breathe hot air into her ear along with his whispers. The sensation stirred activity in her loins and tempted her to jump him. The couple returned to the home at Brynfield after delivering the eggs and poultry to Liberty. Mrs. Lane was home. She brought over the couple’s pets. She had been looking after the animals, and now she was back at Brynfield. The moment the door was opened, Snowball came running wagging its tail. Serenity was startled. At a closer look, she squatted and stroked Snowball’s head. She said to Zachary, “How did Snowball get so big?” Zachary was not keen on little animals. He only allowed pets at home because he loved

    “A grandson-trolling nana.” Serenity defended Grandma May. “How did Nana troll you? Everything she does is for your own good. Tell me. How did she troll you?” She gave Zachary a tiny shove, but Zachary caught her by the wrist. “Seren, you have not washed your hands after touching the dog. Go and wash your hands. Don’t use your grubby hands of dog fur to touch and push me. You know I can’t stand the fur.” Serenity was lost for words.Mrs. Lane said with a smile, “Go on and wash your hands, missus. I made you supper. You can have your supper when your hands are clean.” The mention of food was enough for Serenity to let her man off the hook this time. Retrieving her hand from Zachary’s grasp, Serenity got up to wash her hands. While cleaning her hands, she asked. “What did you make me, Mrs. Lane?” “Your favorite.” Mrs. Lane gestured for Snowball to retreat to its doggie pen. Snowball was a smart dog. Knowing that its charms could not rub off on its male owner, it did not

    After Duncan scared Jessica away, he looked at the closed door and pulled out his phone to call Liberty. It did not take long for Liberty to accept the call. “Why aren’t you open today, Liberty?” Duncan came off a bit harsh. “Seren and I are off to take care of some stuff in our hometown. I’m closed for the day to resolve the ownership issue with our parents’ home today. What’s the matter?” Duncan asked, “Oh. Is it going to be resolved today? Do you need to go to court?” He could give a hand if Liberty wanted to take the Hunt family to court. “We’re settling it out of court. I got to go, Mr. Lewis. Talk soon.” “Sure.” Duncan hung up the call. Why did he not receive any news about Liberty’s home issue being resolved? She did not tell him anything. Come to think of it, why would she tell him? He was not anybody to her. She had no obligation to talk to him about her personal matters. With that in mind, Duncan felt a lot better. Since All You Can Eat was not op

The big shots in Satbury usually had entourages of their own, but none would put on a spectacle as big as Tony would.As they departed in their car, Tony’s gracious demeanor utterly shattered.His face twisted into an ugly, cruel expression as he said, “I’ve never been treated like this before, even when the legitimate branch of the family still lived, and those two ignorant little girls actually refused to see me multiple times.”Manny was very angry too and he said, “Pops, since they refuse to go about this the easy way, we’ll have to show them the hard way. We can approach it from other angles, and once they’re completely out of business and they have nowhere else to turn to, they’ll be at our mercy.“Won’t they have to do as we please then? I want to marry them, they’ll have to marry me, and if I don’t, I’ll just make them my mistresses. Don’t the O’Connors have plenty of daughters? I’ll fuck every one of them

    “Isabella O’Connor is so outstanding, so why are you asking me to go for Tati O’Connor instead?” Manny said under his breath in puzzlement.He had seen photos of the two ladies and Isabella’s appearance was more striking. She had a cold and aloof aura that easily triggered his desire to conquer her, and after just a few glances, he was captivated.If it were up to him, Manny would choose Isabella.Tony looked at his son, smiled, and said, “You can’t control her. Of course, if you manage to make her fall for you, we can talk about switching. But for now, focus on Tati O’Connor.”Tati was also beautiful. However, she did not have Isabella’s cold demeanor. She seemed much gentler, like she smiled often.“Marrying Tati O’Connor would be a big advantage for both you and our family.”Manny thought for a moment and then nodded in understanding. “Got it, Dad.”Manny’s good looks, wealth, honeyed tongue, and generosity toward girls made him good at winning them over.

Indeed, he was Mr. Longbotton’s eldest son, Manny.“Dad.”Manny went to his father’s side and glanced at the building before him. He asked, “Aren’t we driving inside?”In Havenmill, Manny could do whatever he wished because his father was the interim head of the Longbottom family. While he had no respect for ordinary people at all, he was clever enough not to offend people he should not.He never parked his car outside the places he wanted to go and simply drove his car through the gates. However, Manny

    “Sonny’s fine. He has recovered. You want to get Sonny from school?”After thinking about it, Serenity agreed and said, “Okay. I’ll message Sonny’s teacher later to tell her you’ll be taking him.”“Okay, Serenity. Thank you.”Hank was thankful that Serenity did not make things difficult for him. Serenity and Liberty had great character. Liberty had a new relationship and already let go of her resentment for Hank. She could coexist with him peacefully. On the other hand, Serenity still held grudges against Hank. However, since he and Liberty had divorced, he could no longer hurt her. He was also Sonny’s father.

She got curious when she saw her two friends no longer watching their phones.“It ended long ago. Imogen stopped him before it even got to fifteen minutes. She got soft-hearted too quickly.”Serenity was eating a plate of fruits. She said, “The person who falls in love first will always give in quickly.”“Dylan can’t eat spicy food. Eating chili peppers for more than ten minutes is enough. He might really die from the heat if he continues.”Elisa smiled and said, “Well, it’s not as if Dylan isn’t in love too.
