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
It all happened in a blink of an eye. Mrs. Lafayette had Chloe in her arms already. Jane’s adoptive mother, Fiona, carried Connor. The Johnson family’s elders did not even have the chance to move. Jane whispered into Serenity’s ear, “See? I’ve already fallen out of favor. There’s a saying that grandparents are closer to their grandchildren than their children. My parents only love the two babies now. If I didn’t bring them back whenever I visited my family, my mom would ask me why I bothered returning.”Serenity understood that feeling. The same would happen if she did not bring Sonny back to Wildridge Manor. Her in-laws would be unhappy. Zachary, who was being entertained by Ben and the other men, could not resist staring at the baby girl when Mrs. Lafayette returned to the sofas with the baby. Laurent said, “You can stop looking, Mr. York. You won’t have the chance to carry my niece. Even I, her uncle, rarely get to hold her.”However, Suzy had been able to snatch a f
After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “I’m not in a rush, but Seren is. She’s been immersing herself in work to avoid thinking about having children.”He knew everything.He felt sorry for her. Sometimes, Zachary also blamed himself for pulling Serenity into a stressful environment, which made her feel pressured. He and his family never urged her to get pregnant soon. However, Serenity was his wife. As the York family’s missus, the pressure would come naturally to her and swallow her whole. Ben patted Zachary’s shoulder. “You can wait until the genius doctor’s here if you want to, and let him conduct a checkup on you and your wife.”Zachary did not say a word. He firmly believed that he and Serenity did not have issues.He also feared that having the doctor examine them would indirectly stress Serenity out more.She had been drowsy lately because of the tremendous pressure she felt. It affected her sleep, which made her feel tired.“If not, you can hold it off. If
Dylan walked over and stood by the table. He did not stand beside her as he feared she would toss him over her shoulder.She did not like him being too close to her.“Are you still not admitting that you’re Imogen? I got the answer from my Nana. You’re Imogen. You’re also Sugar.”Imogen closed the book. She raised her head to look at Dylan. Her eyes were bright, and she had a smile on her face. “Are you sure your Nana said so? Do you have evidence that I’m Imogen Doyle?“Do I resemble her a lot?“Are our voices similar? What about our figures?”After a moment of silence, Dylan said, “Your face and voice aren’t like Imogen’s, but you two do have similar body shapes.“You’re called Chameleon Fox. It means you’re cunning and a master at disguising your looks. The only group of people who can disguise themselves perfectly in this world are the students of the legendary masters in the Imperial Force.“Sugar is Silver’s student, and Chameleon Fox is one of your fake identities. I don
Leticia knocked on the door of Imogen’s room but did not receive a response.“Jen is probably asleep. Stop knocking on the door. Look at the time now.”Winston reminded his wife that she should not wake their daughter as it was already late at night. Leticia stopped knocking and said, “I just wanted to talk to Jen because I haven’t seen her lately. I guess I’ll have to wait till her next day off if she’s asleep.”Although the Doyle family lived in the same mansion, the youngsters were always busy with company matters.They would always head out early in the morning and only be back late at night. Even during holidays, they barely had time to themselves because they had to meet clients.While Davidson Group was one of the best megacorporations in Huntington, the clients who worked with them were equally strong. There were also many competitors who would like to snatch business deals from Davidson Group.Therefore, Davidson Group had to maintain good relationships with their clie
However, Zachary was punished the least among the York brothers.He already started behaving like the eldest since he was young. He was calm and composed, unlike his naughty younger brothers. Gramps and Grandma May punished them often. Nevertheless, the York brothers liked being with their grandparents.“Enough of that. Let’s talk about you and Ms. Doyle. Have you wondered why she isn’t admitting that she’s Chameleon Fox? That’s just another alias of hers. Her true identity is Imogen Doyle, a young lady of the Doyle family.“She wants you to fall in love with Imogen instead of treating her as Fox. Although she’s also Fox, that isn’t her original self but simply an identity created through makeup.“If you two were to get married, you’d have to spend the rest of your lives as husband and wife. Ms. Doyle can’t possibly live with you as Chameleon Fox forever. She has already returned to her family. She’s no longer going on adventures with her teacher as Sugar either.“Everyone knows h
After a moment of silence, Imogen said, “You don’t like spicy food. Even drinking some spicy soup feels like taking poison to you. You don’t have to make yourself suffer. Just go back and never appear before me and my family again.“You’ve never liked me from the start anyway.”The person he loved was Chameleon Fox.Although it was one of her aliases, Imogen still felt that Dylan did not love her.She was probably the only person in the world who was jealous of herself.She raised the window and drove away.Dylan returned to his car and started following Imogen’s car from behind.Imogen initially wanted to go shopping with her friends. Upon seeing Dylan following her, she changed her mind and went home.When they arrived at the Doyles’ mansion, Imogen was able to drive inside while Dylan’s car was denied entry. Luckily, Leticia and the rest were not home.Otherwise, Dylan would be in trouble.He waited in front of the gates for some time. A security guard walked over and kn
A few minutes later.Imogen wanted to pretend she could not see the “statue” at the entrance of the company, but Dylan rushed out and blocked her way. Fortunately, she was not driving at a high speed and was able to stop the car immediately.She lowered the car window and scolded, “If you want to die, don’t die under my tires, Mr. Dylan. I don’t want to dirty my tires.”“I’m sorry for choosing such a dangerous way to stop your car, Imogen. However, you wouldn’t have stopped if I didn’t do this,” said Dylan apologetically.“What business do you have?”Imogen took a few deep breaths and added coldly, “It’s late and cold. Why are you standing here? Don’t blame me if you fall sick from the cold. I didn’t order you to stand here.“If you catch a cold, it's your problem. I’ve already said I didn’t need you to treat me to a meal.”Dylan smiled. “Considering that I’ve stood here for so long, will you do me the honor of letting me have a meal with you?”He handed her the frozen bouque
Imogen enjoyed the time she had spent with Grandma May. Therefore, she did not want to trouble the old lady.“I heard Old Mrs. York is a playful old lady. She loves having fun. She’s very healthy as well. I want to invite her to our place. She’ll be able to witness some interesting scenes.”Imogen replied, “You should unleash your dissatisfaction on Dylan, Layla. Don’t disturb Old Mrs. York. While she’s healthy, she’s already eighty. She shouldn’t travel far distances at her age. We won’t be able to bear the consequences if something happens.”Old Mrs. York was the anchor of the York family.Imogen dared not risk her safety.She liked Grandma May and the Yorks.Her teacher had also said he could be at ease if she were to marry into the York family. If it were any other family, he would be worried about her husband or his family mistreating her.“Does Old Mrs. York know how to use WhatsApp?”“Yes. She’s good with electronic devices.”“Okay. Give me her number. That way, I can g
Layla scoffed. “Who knows if you’re truly sincere?”“I know you all won’t believe me no matter what I say, Ms. Doyle. I’ll prove that I’m serious about Imogen through my actions.”Dylan spoke with honesty, “If there’s a sliver of possibility that I’m playing around with Imogen’s heart again, you don’t have to teach me a lesson. My family will gladly do the honors. Besides, I’m not that kind of person. Back then, I thought of developing a relationship with Imogen because of Nana’s orders.”“That’s right. You listened to your nana and came to pursue Jen for three months. Jen was young and naive. Just when she started getting attracted to you, you ran away and said you realized you couldn’t fall in love with her.“Is Jen’s love worth so little? Would you even have given an explanation if Jen didn’t go to you for one?“It’s been months since then. Just as Jen has moved on, you reappear and disrupt her peaceful life. You came back to pursue her because you couldn’t get the woman you lo
“We can talk about this next time. By the way, Layla already left.“I still have some work to do. I’ll hang up now. Don’t call me again even if the world is ending. I’ll hate you if you disturb me and make me work till late at night.”Dylan said, “Okay. I won’t disturb you. Go on with your work. Remember not to exhaust yourself.”Imogen hung up without another word.Before Dylan could even put his phone back into his pocket, he saw a luxury car exiting the parking lot.Since it was past working hours, most employees had already left.That luxury car probably belonged to Layla.Dylan had met members of the Doyle family before. However, he did not have a deep impression of them.Layla Doyle was the president of Davidson Group. Although there was still a board of directors above her, she still called the shots for most matters.Therefore, she was extremely busy. Back when Dylan deliberately approached Imogen and treated her well to pursue her, he had only seen Layla once from afa
Dylan smiled. “Look, Imogen. It’s dark, and it’s time to have dinner. Aren’t you hungry? Why don’t you come out and have dinner with me? I can take you back to the office to continue working afterward. What do you think?“How much work do you have left? I bought two movie tickets. We can go watch a movie after you’re done working.”Imogen rejected him coldly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Dylan. I’m not free. I’ll be heading home for dinner after work. Since it’s a rare day where I don’t have to attend an event, I want to have a good rest.”She had already made an appointment with a few of her best friends to go shopping at eight o’clock that night.She had no time to accompany Dylan.How could he think of having dinner and watching a movie together? It had only been one day since he decided to pursue her again.Dylan could dream on.Imogen had not even admitted she was Chameleon Fox. How could she possibly accept him?Did he think she was an easy target?In the past, Imogen had loved him s
