Serenity went to her hometown today to handle the issue of the house. She had not asked Jasmine about the date of her engagement yet.However, Zachary already knew.He told her, “Ms. Sox and Josh’s engagement is on 20th of March. It’s already mid-March now, so it’ll be happening soon. Their engagement party will most likely be a grand event since the Bucham family is large and they have many friends.”Even people who were not close to the Bucham family would send gifts out of respect.After all, many people used the Buchams’ intelligence services before.“Their wedding will also be before ours.”Zachary continued, “Their wedding might be before or after the 1st of May. Josh said they were getting their marriage license right after the engagement. He’s in a rush.”Serenity and Zachary got their marriage license first, so they could choose a good day for the wedding later. They were not in a hurry. However, Josh and Jasmine were doing it the traditional way, so Josh was naturally
Zachary was present too. He was still haughty and cold in the eyes of outsiders, and he had an imposing aura that made everyone in the flower shop feel uneasy. Serenity did not linger and pulled Zachary out of the shop after giving him the bouquet.The sky darkened soon after they left Spring Blossoms.Serenity called her sister and chatted with her nephew for a while before hanging up.Sonny waited until his aunt ended the call as he wanted to play with the phone, but unfortunately, his mother took it away.“Mom, I want to watch Peppa Pig.”Liberty tucked the phone back into her pocket and said, “If you want to watch cartoons, I’ll turn on the TV for you. You can’t watch it on the phone.“You can only watch TV for half an hour.”Sonny pouted. When he saw his mother hold the TV remote control and turn on the TV, he compromised and said, “Okay.”After turning on the TV for her son, Liberty went back into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow morning.The doorbell
“What blocks did he give to you? Let me see. I’ll help you put them together.”Sonny immediately slid down from his father’s arms, ran to a shelf that was filled with toys, and took out a box of Legos he had not been able to assemble.Hank saw the set of blocks and cursed Duncan for being sinister in his heart.Sonny was still young. He was not even three yet. Even if he was smart, how could he be able to put together something that difficult?Duncan deliberately gave Sonny a challenging set of Legos so he could have the opportunity to teach Sonny and get closer to Liberty, right?How shameless!He was using Sonny to get close to Liberty!Hank cursed Duncan a million times in his heart.Liberty invited the couple to sit down, poured them each a cup of warm water, and said, “I’m busy. Just leave the invitation there. If I have time that day, I’ll bring Sonny and attend your wedding.”Since they were not worried that she would ruin the wedding and invited her, she would join.W
Liberty could not be bothered less with Jessica. Jessica could not get any useful news, so she had no choice but to return to Hank’s side bitterly.At the same time, she looked around the place.Although the space was not large, Liberty tidied it up and decorated it in a cozy manner.Jessica had to admit that Liberty was much better than her at housekeeping.Hank was teaching Sonny how to piece up the building blocks since he seldom accompanied his son. When he looked at the pile of scattered blocks and the assembly instructions, he found that it really was difficult to build.He would never have the patience to construct something like this.“Do you really know how to build that?” Jessica asked him.“Why don’t you give it a try?”Hank was having a headache and snapped at his wife when he heard her.Sonny looked up at Jessica, then at his father, and asked an innocent and pure question, “Dad, why is she always following you?”Hank was speechless.Before he could answer, Jess
His dad was not able to piece together the blocks earlier.Sonny felt that Duncan was more amazing.It was the first time he missed Duncan.If Duncan knew that Sonny missed him so much, he would feel incredibly flattered.Liberty looked through the clothes and toys that Hank bought for Sonny, then let him open them up and play with them.She went back to the kitchen to work, but she kept thinking about Jessica’s attitude.It was impossible for Jessica to like Sonny because he was Liberty’s son.Jessica’s expression always turned hideous whenever she heard that the Brown family wanted to visit Sonny.Why did Jessica’s attitude change recently?Not only did she not stop the Brown family from visiting Sonny, but she would also accompany Hank when he came over. Furthermore, she bought new clothes for Sonny. That was a bit odd.Jessica might be trying to create a bond with Sonny because the Brown family was trying to regain custody of him. However, she could wait until after the B
After the call, Zachary immediately contacted Josh and told him about Liberty’s suspicion.Josh said, “I just received some news too, and was about to tell you when you called me.”Zachary asked in a low voice, “What news? Is it related to Sonny’s attempted kidnapping?”“Yeah. My brother told me that he found out that Mrs. Newman had a gang leader as a godfather more than twenty years ago. However, that leader got arrested and sentenced to death. Some of the leader’s men were also convicted, but some disappeared from the face of the earth.“I suspect they were taken in by Mrs. Newman. Those men under the leader back then were all ruthless outlaws. It was a large gang too. If Mrs. Newman took them in and made them into bodyguards, their numbers could form a large company.“That happened twenty years ago, so it’s difficult to find out their whereabouts. It’ll take some time to get confirmation. Besides, those men are probably old now after twenty years, but they might have inducted
Case in point, he just asked Josh to investigate Jessica.He could not afford to offend Josh.“Thanks in advance. You’re really a good boss who’s considerate of your subordinates.”Josh flattered Zachary.Zachary laughed. “Enough already. I don’t know you. Just go on your date and soak in the honey jar all day. Be careful not to get diabetes from all the sweetness.”“You also soak in your honey jar all day, but I don’t see you getting diabetes. I just started, so I have nothing to be afraid of. I’m going on my date now. My Jasmine likes BBQ, so I’m taking her out to eat BBQ.”Josh hung up the phone.He and Jasmine often went out to eat barbecue.“Babe, do you want some jackfruit?”Serenity opened up a jackfruit, placed the flesh on a plate, and asked Zachary while walking toward him.Zachary turned pale at the smell of the jackfruit.He immediately stood up and walked away. “Honey, I don’t like the smell of jackfruit. You can eat slowly over there.”Serenity stopped in her
“Although a stepmother is also a mother, Sonny won’t call you Mom. Saying something like that will only upset everyone.”Jessica ignored him.She went straight to the car after leaving Liberty’s apartment block.Hank got into the car.“How about I take you shopping, honey?”“Then drive already,” Jessica snapped.“I said all those things for you. I know your family and you want Sonny back. If you want to take custody of Sonny, he’ll be living with us in the future. I’m just trying to adapt to the role of being a mother in advance.”Hank said while driving, “My parents want Sonny back very much. They couldn’t bear to part with Sonny from the beginning. They’re old, and Sonny is the only Brown grandson, so of course they miss him. However, I don’t intend to regain custody of Sonny.”He looked into Jessica’s eyes and said, “Back then, it was you who persuaded me to give up custody. I feel that it’s good for Sonny to follow Liberty. The people around Liberty now are on a different l
