Chapter 228

Author: Gu Lingfei
“What did Serenity do to keep you from going back to Brynfield?”

“Nothing.”

“Zack, I watched you grow up. In this family, the person who knows you best is me. If nothing happened between you two, you wouldn’t have come back here to stay. What exactly did Serenity do? It’s fine even if you don’t want to tell me. I can find out when I go to her shop later and ask her.”

Zachary stopped and looked at his grandmother, feeling a little angry. “Nana, we agreed that you won’t interfere in anything after I get married to Serenity.”

“I’m not interfering. I’m just concerned and want to know what happened to you two. You’re proud and egotistical, but you pretend to be poor and marry Serenity. She doesn’t know your true identity at all. Even if you’re wrong, you won’t easily bow your head and apologize. When it has come to this point, you need me to be the mediator to help you ease your frozen relationship.”

Old Mrs. York indeed promised Zachary that she would not interfere in the married coup

    Old Mrs. York was infuriated at her grandson’s behavior, so much so she did not want to walk anymore. She sat down on a stone bench by the roadside.She spent so much effort talking her grandson into agreeing to get married, but...Zachary was silent for a moment. He then came over and sat beside his nana. He said calmly, “Nana, you know that love can’t be forced. I was raised by you, and you asked me to marry her to repay your kindness, so I listened to you.“You promised me that you won’t interfere with our married life. The day I got my marriage license with Serenity, I told you that I have to examine her character and see if she’s worthy for me to spend the rest of my life with. Otherwise, we’ll end it in half a year.”Old Mrs. York said grumpily, “With your nasty temper, you wouldn’t admit it even if you fell in love with Serenity.”Zachary was speechless.“Forget it, I’m not angry. I was wrong when I forced you to marry Serenity. You’re right. Love can’t be forced. You can

    “I’m outside now. I’m going to your store to have breakfast with you. By the way, you don’t need to get takeouts for breakfast, Seren. I bought three portions. I’ll bring them over to eat with you and Jasmine.”“Sure. Wait for me in the store then. I’ll be right there. But Nana, you don’t have to get up so early in the future. You can sleep in. I won’t be hungry.”“I’m old now and a light sleeper. I wake up as soon as the sun rises, so I’m used to it. I’m not worried about you going hungry. I just like eating with you. Food tastes especially good when it’s with you.”Serenity laughed.For the past few months, she often ate with the old lady.Old Mrs. York knew that many old stores in Wiltspoon serve delicious snacks. She would often take Serenity and Jasmine to eat all these famous and most authentic snacks in Wiltspoon.Serenity and Jasmine both felt that Old Mrs. York was definitely a glutton when she was in her youth.Now that she was old, she could not eat a lot. Furthermore

    Old Mrs. York looked at her grandson, and her grandson looked at her.Her lips moved several times to say something, but she did not speak. In the end, she burst into laughter.Zachary was exasperated as he watched his nana laugh uncontrollably.Old Mrs. York grinned and patted his shoulder. Zachary had to hold his grandmother for fear that she would fall if she laughed too hard.After a while, she finally stopped laughing and said, “Zack, I was wrong about you. Serenity learned mixed martial arts, and her skill is quite good, so it’s no problem for her to handle a handful of punks.“My suggestion to you next time is when you see her in trouble, regardless if she needs help or not. Just go up and save her. In fact, it’s better if you get hurt while saving her. That way, she’ll feel guilty about it and will treat you exceptionally well.”Zachary’s expression was gloomy, and his thin lips pursed tightly.“You need to know a few tricks if you want to chase after your wife.

    “Yes, sir.”Zachary’s driver and Jim got out of the car.The driver in distress was grateful for the two who got out to help him.After checking the car, Zachary’s driver said, “It’ll take several hours for your car to be repaired. We’re in a rush and can’t help you. I’ll ask some people to help you push the car to the side so you don’t block the incoming traffic. You can call a tow truck later.”The car could be moved to the side with everyone’s combined efforts.As long as the car was moved, it would not block the cars behind.With gratitude, the driver said, “Of course, then I’ll thank you in advance. Um, the young lady I’m working for has urgent business to attend to. Could you give her a ride?”Jim and the driver did not dare to agree without permission, but Jim returned to the Rolls-Royce and respectfully asked their boss. “Mr. Zachary, there’s another person in the car in front. The driver said she’s a young lady who he’s serving, and she has urgent business to attend to.

    “Zachary! Zachary...”Elisa chased after Zachary’s car for a few steps and gave up.He refused to let her get into his car. Even if she lay under his wheels, he would not stop and simply send her to the afterlife.Elisa watched as his car, followed by his entourage of bodyguards, drove away.She stomped her feet.She ran here early in the morning to block his way, which she succeeded, and in return, he helped her a little. After all, his bodyguards had helped to push the car to the side of the road and prevented it from blocking other cars that were coming from behind.However, she was still upset that she was unable to ride in his car.Of course, she would not give up just like that.She would not give up before half a year.It had not been long since her public confession.Hang in there!One day, she would be able to sit in his car. She would be the only young woman who could sit in his car.Elisa, who was daydreaming, felt her mood improve.She called her butler and ask

    Old Mrs. York peeked at Serenity’s stomach, which was flat and plain.Yes, her proud and awkward grandson said that he had not touched Serenity yet. The husband and wife were still pure. It was still too early for her to have a great-grandchild.Serenity disdained how cold Zachary was and could not bring herself to jump him, let alone sleep naked.As for Zachary...Old Mrs. York was worried.She suddenly had a thought. ‘Could the rumors be true? Does Zachary like men, or does he have some sort of physiological problem?‘He’s been married to Serenity for more than a month, and they live together, but he has never exercised his right as a husband.’Old Mrs. York decided to tell the cook at home to brew a nourishing soup for Zachary at noon and let Serenity send it to him to nourish his body. Maybe it would help in conceiving a great-grandchild for Old Mrs. York too.It would also help to mend the relationship between the couple.They could not keep up this cold war and live sepa

    Old Mrs. York was anxious and wanted to slip away, but thought, ‘Wait, I can’t slip away. Elisa is already at the entrance. If I try to leave, I’ll be caught red-handed.‘I need to hide.’Thus, she calmly put down her cutlery and said to Serenity and Jasmine, “I’m full now. I have to go to the washroom.”With that, she got up and walked toward the washroom while saying, “When you get old, every trip to the washroom will take at least half an hour.”Serenity and Jasmine were speechless.“Serenity, are you there?”Elisa appeared just as Old Mrs. York walked away.She rushed in with a mesh bag of sea shrimps in her left hand and a similar bag of sea crabs in her right hand.“Serenity, come take them. They’re too heavy for me!”Elisa was a rich and pampered young lady. She usually had everything handed over to her on a silver platter and never did any labor, so she felt the two big bags of shrimps and crabs were heavy.When Serenity and Jasmine saw this, they rushed forward and t

    “We just finished.”Jasmine quickly cleaned up the dishes, and Elisa asked out of curiosity, “There are four sets of cutlery. Is there someone else?”Jasmine said while cleaning up, “Serenity’s grandmother-in-law came over. She’s in the washroom now.”Elisa hummed and stopped asking.She was aware of Serenity’s marriage. Due to the trending news before, she even told her brother to fire John Hunt. She understood Serenity and the Hunt family’s disputes more than others, so undoubtedly she knew Serenity was married too.Not many people from the outside world knew about it.Elisa was not a nosy person, so she did not ask about Serenity’s love life.After Jasmine cleaned up the table, Serenity poured a glass of water for Elisa.“Why are you back from vacation so soon, Ms. Stone?”“It’s because I’m worried about my sweetheart, of course. I was with my parents by the beach for two days and came back to the city last night. I have something to tell you, Serenity. This morning, I went

    Despite this, lying in bed and enduring the pain, Caroline could not help but start to cry, feeling deeply wronged.When Darren came in and saw her crying, he walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently wiped her tears with a tissue.“They’re not worth your tears,” he said, his heart aching for her.Caroline sat up and buried herself in his arms. “Darren, you’re all I have now.”Darren held her tightly, his voice filled with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, no matter what happens, Ms. Caroline. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.“If you’re really hurting and need to cry, then cry. Let it all out.”It would also help her sever ties with the past and the family bonds that had caused her so much pain.Caroline did cry—a long, cathartic cry. It would be the last time. From now on, she and the Clarks would go their separate ways.Meanwhile, Hunter went to Justin’s house and called Jason’s wife, Ellie, over. He said to his two daughters-in-law, “By no

    After a moment of silence, Hunter repeated the same line. “But you didn’t die, did you? You only got a little hurt, and it’s not even serious.”Caroline almost laughed in anger at this.Sure, she had not died. She had only been injured. Did that erase the fact that her brothers had tried to kill her, though?She retorted, “Dad, if I had tried to kill your three sons, but they didn’t die and only got a little hurt, would you say the same thing to them? Would you tell them it’s just a family dispute, ask them to forgive me, not to sue me, and not to send me to jail?”Hunter instinctively replied, "If you had the intent to kill, how could I let you continue down that path? Of course, I’d have to let you serve a few years in prison…“Carol, I’m old, really old. I only have the boys to rely on in my old age. Are you trying to leave me with no one to depend on in my later years?”Caroline said coldly, “I’ll provide for your living expenses. I’ll make sure you don’t starve. You can even

    Darren did not let go even after being struck.Seeing Darren get hit, Caroline’s expression darkened. She coldly said to her father, “Dad, if you really want to kneel, go kneel at the hospital entrance and shout at the top of your lungs that your daughter is unfilial.“Tell everyone that your sons tried to kill your daughter, and your daughter refuses to forgive them, so you’re kneeling there to force her to forgive your sons.“Let’s see if I give in.”Hunter stopped struggling. After slapping Darren, he felt a pang of fear. He was afraid Caroline might retaliate by slapping him to avenge Darren. Fortunately, while Caroline was furious, she did not lay a hand on him.He began to cry. “Carol…” He wept bitterly.Darren released him, and Hunter sat on the sofa, sobbing, “Carol, I’m old. I have no income, my parents are long gone, and your mother is no longer here. I only have your three brothers to rely on.“If you send all three of them to prison, what will happen to me? Who w

    Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus

    Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m

    The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa

    The Queen family was well-educated and had few members. Sophia had heard of other families fighting over power, but Caroline’s experience shocked her the most. Maybe it was because the Queens was close to her. Sophia quite liked Caroline as well. “How could they… You’re their biological sister!”Caroline smiled bitterly. “Are you having a fever, Carol? Your face is red.”Sophia touched Caroline’s forehead. She said, “You’re burning up. Have you informed the doctor, Mr. Fletcher?”Darren replied, “The fever started at dawn. Ms. Caroline caught a cold. Her fever subsided after taking medication once, but it returned.“It’s time for her to take her medicine.”Sophia spotted the lunch boxes. She told Darren, “Go have your lunch, Mr. Fletcher. I can look after Carol.”“It’s okay, Mrs. Queen. I can eat on my own,” said Caroline embarrassedly. It was her first time feeling cared for by someone her mother’s age. Although Sophia was not part of her family, the lady treated her

    Caroline looked toward Darren. She said, “In my younger days, I often caught colds and coughs when the weather was too cold. The coughing will last throughout the changing of seasons. Therefore, I’ve been looking after my health since I grew up.“My immune system strengthened a lot. I haven’t been coughing for years.“I’m not worried.”Caroline stared at Darren lovingly. “I have nothing to be worried about with you here.”Darren pinched her face lightly with affection. “I’m still sulking. I didn’t want you to risk yourself, yet I couldn’t stop you. I’ll only feel better once you recover.”He was Caroline’s assistant and had to heed her orders. Even if they were dating, he still had to follow her arrangements.“Okay. Don’t be angry. I won’t take risks like this again in the future. You’ll age quickly if you get angry frequently. If that happens, your hair might turn gray before I even grow old.“We promised to grow old together.”Under Caroline’s gentle coaxing, Darren’s expre

    Darren became an orphan when he was only a few years old. After losing everything, he was collected and trained by the training center to be an all-rounder assistant. He could not remember how he lost his parents as he was too young back then. Since he had no memories, there was no pain.Nevertheless, he had seen others interacting with their parents. He knew parents should love their children. There were not many parents who would not shower their children with love. Ms. Caroline was too unlucky to have met one. “I don’t care. I don’t care about my dad at all.”Caroline asked, “Has my dad asked you to give him money? He doesn’t need money. He just wants to know about his sons’ conditions.“Having lived for so many years, he was probably aware of the consequences of his sons’ plan and had advised them not to do it. They didn’t listen to him, so he’s just hoping to get lucky and waiting for some news.”Hunter must have known that her brothers were going to murder her. Sinc
