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
Serenity was stunned. She said, “It can’t be. I think… Jane, I think I haven’t gotten my period this month.”Was she really pregnant?“My periods have been irregular recently. It was late sometimes, so I didn’t pay much attention. However, it usually comes a few days later.”“You’re definitely pregnant.”Jane smiled. “Some people do get morning sickness after just getting pregnant.“Congratulations, Seren!”Serenity grinned too. “I don’t know whether I’m pregnant or I’ve eaten something bad yet, Jane. Don’t congratulate me just yet. It might be a false alarm.”“From my experience and instinct, you must be pregnant. Lilian’s a doctor. We’ll find out once she checks on you.”After speaking, Jane pulled Serenity out. She requested a maid to look for Lilian too. Next, Jane forced Serenity to sit on the sofa. Everyone was concerned about what had happened to Serenity. Jane said with a smile, “Seren may be pregnant. Her period hasn’t arrived, but she never thought of this pos
Serenity said, “It’s not confirmed yet. I vomited because I felt nauseous after smelling milk on Clo-clo when I carried her. “Jane and the rest said I’m most probably experiencing morning sickness.“We’re waiting for Dr. Carden to come over and examine me. However, you came before she arrived. Don’t worry. I’m fine.”Although it was not confirmed that they were pregnant, Zachary could not contain his smile anymore. He held Serenity’s hand and grinned. He said, “They’ve been through the same process and are experienced. If they say you’re pregnant, then you are.“Where’s Dr. Carden? Is she here?” Zachary stood up and asked. He was desperate to lift Dr. Carden over immediately. Oh, that would be inappropriate. He would have to invite her over as if he were inviting a VIP. He could not offend Dr. Carden. Jane said, “You’re too fast, Mr. York. Lilian couldn’t keep up with you.”Iris teased, “Mr. York must’ve sped up the stairs once he heard Seren had vomited. Dr. Carden mig
Zachary said anxiously, “Please let Dr. Carden examine Seren now, Mrs. Young-Johnson. I’m dying to find out.”The women were still in the mood to have a pleasant chat. They were clueless about how anxious he was. Jane smiled at Lilian and said, “Lilian, please conduct a checkup on Seren now and see whether she’s pregnant. She was vomiting severely just now. I think it’s morning sickness.”Serenity’s face was red. Her husband’s panicked expression made her blush from embarrassment. The people present in the children’s room were young wives with noble identities. Everyone stayed silent when Lilian took Serenity’s pulse. Zachary was a nervous wreck. Serenity was smiling, but she was nervous too. She would be sad if they got excited over nothing. Lilian told Zachary and Serenity a moment later with a smile, “You’re pregnant. If you think my pulse-taking is inaccurate, you can confirm it at a hospital.”Upon hearing that, Serenity nodded continuously while grinning. She s
The people in the room went out unnoticed. They left the space to the husband and wife. Zachary hugged the person in his arms tightly. He said softly, “I’m happy and excited too.”“Zachary.”“Mm.”“I…”Serenity raised her head from Zachary’s embrace. When he lowered his head and saw her red eyes, his heart ached for her. He kissed her eye gently and coaxed her softly, “Don’t cry. My heart breaks looking at you cry.“Now that you’re pregnant, you must keep your emotions stable.”“I know. I’m just too excited. I’ve been so stressed over the past year, especially when Jasmine got pregnant despite marrying later. I got more anxious.”Zachary kissed Serenity’s lips lightly and said, “Say no more, Seren. I know. I know everything. I’m sorry that you had to be so stressed because of me.”The people of Wiltspoon started paying attention to her belly half a year after their marriage. However, Serenity did not get pregnant. Although he had announced they were not in a rush to have ch
Chloe was extremely likable. Serenity only carried Oliver after Jane took Connor. Lilian and Tim entered as well. She took her son from Serenity’s arms and passed him to Tim. She said, “Coax your baby boss quickly. He cries so much and is so loud that even the roof can shake from his wailing.”If Baby Oliver could think, he would have thought, ‘Do you think I have a lion’s roar?’Tim started coaxing his son, who was in his arms. The baby was hungry. His father failed to coax him, so Oliver still ended up in his mother’s arms. News that Serenity was pregnant did not spread. Only the Johnsons knew of it. Zachary was anxious. He was also worried that someone would bump into Serenity as many people were at the party. He decided to bring her back to Wiltspoon right away. Serenity did not want to leave that soon, but she had no choice but to agree, as she could not persuade her husband. Zachary told Ben and Jane apologetically, “Ben, Serenity has to rest because she’s pre
Tania said, “It seems to you that our son doesn’t have any good qualities.” Zachary was the eldest grandson of the York family. He was raised by Tania’s in-laws. It had been her first time being a mother. She did not know how to raise a child. As her in-laws were willing to take her child in, it had taken a burden off her shoulders. Tania’s husband had just taken over York Corporation at that time. He was extremely busy. She often accompanied her husband to business engagements as well. Her in-laws took care of her eldest son and they treated him as the successor of the York family. Of course, since her eldest son was raised by her in-laws, he was closer and more obedient to them. After Zachary’s grandfather passed away, his grandmother was the only person who could boss him around. Tania was unable to meddle in her eldest son’s affairs. Luckily, her in-laws were great seniors. They had educated Zachary and the other children well. She and her sisters-in-law had lef
