“Not yet.”“We’ll go eat together later, my treat.”Liberty smiled. “Alright.”Smiling, Jasmine walked over. “Liberty, you’re finally back. Sonny mentions you every day. Both Seren and I are tired of hearing him talk about you.”Sonny naturally said, “I just miss Mom.”Was he not allowed to talk about Mom if he missed her?Jasmine smiled and lightly pinched his face.The three of them did not chat much as the shop was still busy. When the students started their evening self-study, the area in front of the school returned to calmness.Serenity poured a cup of warm water for her sister and asked, “Has Aunt Audrey gone home?”“Yeah, Aunt Audrey asked me to go to her place for dinner. I missed Sonny, so I didn’t go.”Serenity wanted to say something but she could not hold in her yawn.Seeing Aunt Ser yawn again, Sonny said to his mom, “Every night when I fall asleep, Aunt Ser is still awake and often yawns.”Liberty said with concern, “Seren, you should take care of yourself. Y
When Serenity woke up, it was already early morning the next day.She opened her eyes and saw herself lying in bed, feeling a bit confused. Was she not in the car?How long did she sleep?She turned her head and saw the man sleeping beside her. She shifted her body and quietly watched Zachary.As she watched, she could not help but reach out and touch his face.This man of great eminence was hers!Such thoughts made Serenity feel a sweet sensation in her heart.She intended to lean in and kiss his face. It was right then that Zachary opened his eyes. Seeing her getting closer, he guessed what she wanted to do, so he closed his eyes again.Serenity chuckled softly. “You’re awake.”“I’m not awake, I’m still dreaming. I dreamt that my wife wanted to kiss me, so I’ll wait for her to finish kissing, and then I’ll wake up.”Serenity burst into laughter.“You’re talking now yet you say you’re not awake.”“I was sleep-talking.”As an old married couple, kissing was their favorite
Even though Zachary was outstanding and had enough money to last several lifetimes, she insisted on earning and spending her own money.She said it felt great to spend money she earned herself, without any psychological burden.He entrusted all his assets to her, but she rarely used his money.“I’m fine. I’m still young, in good health, and full of energy. I fell asleep so early last night, and now I feel especially refreshed.”Saying this, Serenity sat up and smiled, “I think it’s been a long time since I prepared breakfast for you. I woke up early today, so I’ll go and get a breakfast full of love ready for you.”Zachary smiled, “I suddenly miss the ordinary life we had when we first got married. Every morning, you would either cook porridge or go out to get some croissants back. It was the first time I had croissants that you brought back.”“I miss it too. How about we go back to Brynfield tonight and stay for a while?” “It’s up to you,” said Zachary indulgently. In their ho
Two days later at FC Manor in Annenburg, a private plane landed at the private airport.Jane and Ben were waiting there.When they saw Zachary and Serenity disembark from the plane, the couple smiled as they approached them.Accompanying the couple on their return was Remy.Originally, Remy wanted to come back earlier, but he could not bear to be separated from Elisa. Elisa had to go on a business trip, so she said she would rush over on the day of the 100-day-old celebration.Knowing that Zachary and Serenity were heading to Annenburg a few days early, Remy hitched a ride on Zachary’s private plane and came back with them.“Serenity,” Jane called out with a smile.She then nodded toward Zachary. “Mr. Zachary, long time no see.”Zachary responded with a smile, “Indeed, it has been a long time.”He shook hands with Ben, and the two CEOs even embraced each other briefly before letting go. Afterward, Zachary shook hands with Jane.Finally, Remy, who had just disembarked, intenti
Remy chimed in after Serenity, “Even if you go, Elisa will still go with you. She’s really dedicated to her career now.”Zachary joined the conversation. “Both she and her cousin are the same. If I hadn’t insisted on bringing Seren here early, she probably would have been busy and could only make it on the day of the children’s 100-day-old celebration.”Jane smiled and said, “Let’s head to the Manor first, it’s windy here.”“Elisa will eventually be part of the Johnson family. It doesn’t matter when we meet.”Remy’s face blushed slightly, but he felt proud and delighted.He and Elisa could already see a glimmer of hope. As long as Mrs. Stone stopped causing trouble and arranging rivals for him, he believed that soon he would be able to bring the beautiful woman home.Remy, who had such beautiful thoughts, could not have imagined that not long after, he would have to seek help from his parents and siblings. After his parents and siblings made a trip to Wiltspoon, he and Elisa’s ma
Jane consoled Serenity, “You don’t have to worry too much, Seren. I believe Ms. Newman’s eyes can be treated as long as Lilian’s willing to help. She’s the disciple of the miracle healer. She might even outperform him.”Serenity said, “Mm, we all trust Dr. Carden.”Dr. Carden also promised Callum that she would fly to Wiltspoon to treat Camryn’s eyes once she resumed visiting patients. “How are Remy and Elisa doing? He doesn’t tell us much about himself, even when we ask him about it. My in-laws hope he and Elisa can be together soon.”Jane changed the topic and asked about her brother-in-law’s love life. “My in-laws wanted to go to Wiltspoon several times, but Remy didn’t allow it. He said it wasn’t time to meet each other’s parents yet. He also hasn’t gotten Mrs. Stone’s recognition. Therefore, we have no choice but to wait anxiously as there’s nothing we can help with.”Upon the mention of Remy and Elisa, Serenity looked frustrated too. She said, “Remy and Elisa’s relationsh
“There’s a famous saying that if women want to live a good life after marriage, they should be capable people or have a strong family behind them. “I only have one daughter now too. If Clo-clo were to move to a distant place after marriage, I definitely wouldn’t be able to bear it, let alone Ben. His daughter is like a rare gem to him. He loves her so much that he’s already guarding her against Laurence and Mr. Ormond’s son.”Serenity could not help but laugh. “Laurence is only three years old. What does he know? Iris’s son is the same age as your two children and only knows how to eat and sleep.”“Ben still protects Clo-clo regardless. He said that he finally has a daughter and would pay extra attention to her. If anyone’s son is suspected of showing interest in his daughter, he’ll nip those feelings in the bud. He won’t let them have those thoughts.”Ben was most wary of their adopted son, Laurence. Laurence was very clever. Even the legendary doctor said he had great potentia
“I’m quite interested in Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette’s story.”Serenity whispered, “Zachary would sometimes tell me a small part of it. Although he didn’t go into the details, it always made me curious.”Jane smiled and said, “I’m only familiar with the latter part of my parents’ story. I’m not clear about their past. Whenever I asked my dad about it, he wouldn’t say anything. My mom would smile and say she didn’t want to talk about it as it was a thing of the past.“No matter what happened to them in the past, it’s great that they have a good relationship now.”Jane knew her mother was unwilling to recall past events as her period of disappearance had been her mother’s most painful days. Her mother had gone crazy for over twenty years because of that. Although her biological father seemed cold, he had been holding himself back. Anyway, her mother suffered a lot, and her father was not doing well either. However, all the hardships had ended. The Lafayette family had a bright fut
