Serenity’s clothes were all dirty, and the strap of her bag was torn off by those people.Thus, she dared not go back to the rented house, afraid that her sister would be upset if she found out.Liberty was in high school and was facing pressure in her studies.Their family did not have much money either.After their parents died in a car accident, the insurance payout they received was divided among their grandparents and relatives, leaving only a small amount of money for the two of them.Liberty said that they needed to live frugally in order to have enough money for both of them to finish university.Serenity felt that Liberty would have to spend money to buy her a new backpack if she damaged hers, so she did not dare to go home.Fortunately, her classmate, Jasmine, who had always been good friends with her, took her back to the Sox residence.Camila was shocked and heartbroken when she saw Serenity.She hugged the little Serenity, comforting her and promising to help her
“Mom, are you going to take these to Serenity now?” Jasmine asked while biting an apple.“Of course. Are you staying for dinner? I’ll come back to prepare dinner after sending these to Serenity,” Camila asked while she opened the car door to get in.“Carlson, come with me. You can help me carry the stuff upstairs when we arrive.”Camila called for her husband.Carlson smiled and said, “I would go with you even if you didn’t ask me to.”He opened the door to the passenger seat and got into the car. After leaving some instructions to Josh and Jasmine, the old couple drove off.Josh stood on the steps of the porch, watching his parents-in-law prepare so many things for Serenity and hurriedly deliver them to her. When his wife came back after closing the gates, he said to her, “They’re giving Serenity as many things as they gave us when you got pregnant.”“Seren and I have been friends for over a decade. My parents watched her grow up and think of her as their daughter. Now that Ser
“Ms. Stone.”Julian’s familiar voice sounded ahead.Elisa and Remy, who were in a good mood, suddenly wanted to teleport home so they did not have to see Julian’s smug and smiling face.Julian really was smug.He saw Remy beside Elisa and how their fingers were tightly interlocked intimately.However, he still acted like a glaring third wheel.Remy’s handsome face instantly darkened.He was glad he followed Elisa back to Wiltspoon early instead of listening to his mother when she tried to make him stay longer. If he had let Elisa return to Wiltspoon by herself, then she would definitely have been picked up by Julian.Julian clearly did not have any feelings for Elisa, but he still clung to her tightly. Not only did he send her gifts every day, but as long as she had to leave Wiltspoon, he would be her personal airport transfer. He was even more diligent than Remy.“Ms. Stone, I’ve been waiting for half an hour. You’re finally here. I thought you had already left.”Julian wore
“Mr. Johnson, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to sit in my car. I’ll understand. I came here to pick up Ms. Stone. You’re just an add-on. If the add-on doesn’t want to be an add-on, then you can find your way back.”Julian spoke with a smile, but to Remy, every word sounded like thorns, pricking at his heart.Julian asked Elisa, “The suitcase in Mr. Johnson’s hand is yours, right? It’s pink so it should be yours. Girls like pink.”Then, he stepped forward and took the suitcase from Remy, brought it to the back of the car, and easily placed it in the trunk. After closing the trunk, he smiled at Elisa and said, “I reserved a table at Wiltspoon Hotel and ordered your favorite dishes. We can go eat right away.“You can go home after the meal, or if you want to go on a stroll, I can arrange for someone to accompany you.”In other words, he would not accompany Elisa himself.Julian came to pick Elisa up, but he planned to leave once he sent her back.His father found out that Zach
After thinking about it, Julian added with a smile, “But I can understand. Serenity has been married to Zachary for a year, and many outsiders say that she’s infertile. Now that she’s expecting, they must be relieved. It’s natural for everyone to be happy for her.”Remy chimed in, “Many people will be happy for you too if you can become a father in the future, Mr. Bucham.”Julian had hypoactive sexual desire disorder. If he did not meet a woman who could evoke a response from him, he could never become a real man in his life. He would be like an eunuch, let alone become a father.Remy’s words struck Julian, but fortunately, Julian was an open-minded person.Although he had this disorder, he did not care. It was not life-threatening, so the worst-case scenario was for him to remain single for the rest of his life. Being single was quite nice for him.He smiled and said, “If I have the opportunity to become a father, I don’t know if it’ll make others happy, but my old man will defin
“That’s because they’re blind and can’t see a treasure that is right in front of them.”Remy pulled her into the Stone family villa and spoke as he walked, “I’m glad they’re blind though, otherwise I’d get jealous if I had a whole bunch of love rivals.”Elisa giggled.She felt relaxed and at ease with Remy as it was her true personality that he fell for.After sending the young couple home, Julian left the Stones’ residence and headed straight to his home. He coincidentally ran into Jasmine, who had been called back by her mother-in-law.When Jasmine’s bodyguard saw Julian’s car, he quickly pulled over to the side and let Julian’s car pass first.Julian and Jasmine rolled down their car windows at the same time.“Julian,” Jasmine greeted.Julian hummed gently and asked, “Why are you coming home at this time?”When Jasmine resumed watching over the bookstore, she had always returned home at night.“Mom called me back. There’s something she wants me to do, so I’m here.”Juli
The nutritionist did not interfere with everyone’s freedom to eat out. She was invited by her aunt to take care of the family’s diet, so she only had a say over those who ate at home. Her reach did not extend to those who ate outside.Now, her main focus was Jasmine.Josh was the first in their generation to get married, and the baby in Jasmine’s womb would be the firstborn of the next generation. The whole Bucham family attached great importance to this, not just Rebecca.To ensure that Jasmine would give birth to a healthy and intelligent baby, the recipes for pregnant women that she formulated were rich in nutrition. The dishes themselves were naturally of high quality and varied every day. The recipes would not change regardless of Jasmine liking them or not.Fortunately, Jasmine was a foodie and was not picky about food.They always got along well.When Rebecca and the nutritionist heard footsteps, they both turned to look at the door.“Jasmine.”Seeing that her daughter-i
Theresa glanced at Rebecca and the other did not say anything, so she stopped talking as well.After all, Jasmine was her aunt’s daughter-in-law.The baby in her belly was also the next generation of the Bucham family. Theresa was only here to give nutritional advice.In fact, there was not much that Rebecca could say either. The food was made by her in-laws, and Jasmine did not go back to her home to eat every day either. There was no problem eating it once in a while.“I’ll go to the washroom,” Jasmine said and hurried there.After she left, Theresa said softly, “Aunt Rebecca, will Jasmine blame me for saying too much and being controlling? Pickled products should be consumed less, even for normal people. Pickled food never appears on our families’ dining tables, but Jasmine fancies them so much.“She even ran back to her home to eat it. Are the meals I planned for her aren’t to her liking? It was you who called me here, and I only came because of you and Josh.”Rebecca said s
