Serenity followed them out of the house. She shouted after Sonny’s shrinking silhouette, “Sonny, don’t run so fast. Be careful not to fall.”“Aunt Ser, I won’t fall. I’ll go now.”Carrying a large bag of toys, Sonny ran off with a group of kids. Their voices echoed back from a distance.Serenity turned to Zachary, who had followed her outside, and said, “This kid is so outgoing. He gets along with everyone.”“Isn’t that a good thing? If he couldn’t and clung to adults all the time, we’d all have headaches.”Zachary replied with a smile, “It’s quite challenging being human, and kids do not have it easy either. They get criticized as mischievous for being lively. If they are quiet and reserved, they are called dull. No matter what they do, adults can always find a reason to criticize them.”Serenity was silent.It seemed like it was true.Being human was quite challenging.“Do you still need to catch up on sleep?” Serenity questioned.As soon as Zachary held Serenity’s hand,
Her abilities are not too shabby either. At least before Alvin emerged, everyone within the Daniels family believed that Jenna would be the successor to the group.“Zachary, take a look at this news article.”Serenity handed her phone to Zachary.Zachary corrected her, “Call me ‘honey’. When you call me by my name, I always get nervous, fearing that you’re going to scold me for doing something wrong.” With that said, he took the phone from her and asked while looking at it, “What news?”After glancing at it for a moment, Zachary returned the phone to his wife. His expression lightened as he said, “What’s so interesting about her news? I’ve said it before, the one who can handle her is her father. We don’t need to intervene. Her father will take care of her.”If Mr. Daniels could not handle Jenna, letting Zachary step in would surely harm the Daniels Group.Zachary would not have mercy on those who tried to disrupt his marriage.As for that person living in the same residential
Zachary chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, my dear. I absolutely won’t engage in illegal activities like murder or arson. York Corporation conducts lawful and legitimate business. Even if someone is my adversary, I only compete with them through business and slowly lead them to defeat.“If the opponent is formidable, it might take me years to bring them down. Look at me and your cousin, we were arch-rivals for years, but I couldn’t take down Stone Group, and likewise, Stone Group couldn’t defeat York Corporation.“The ability to bankrupt someone within the blink of an eye? Well, I do not possess that kind of skill.”Zachary admitted he was not as formidable as the male protagonists in novels who could bankrupt companies in an instant. Dealing with his enemies required a long process.“If you decide to take matters into your own hands, I will not interfere. I don’t have the energy to deal with such matters right now, but I trust you!”With her head resting on Zachary’s shoulder for j
Kevin handed her the bouquet of flowers and grinned. “My nana always says I talk too much, that I’m quite the talker. Meanwhile, you’re quiet and reserved, a woman of few words. That’s why she thought we’d make a great match so you wouldn’t feel lonely.“We call this complementarity. If both of us were introverted, our little home would be completely silent in the future. It would then be too quiet.“I didn’t say much, I was just admiring the loving relationship between Zachary and Serenity. Haven’t you noticed how beautiful her dresses are? Would you like to try one on? I’ve bought several new dresses for you that I think would suit you well.”Hayden had dressed up once in women’s clothing for him. She also mentioned that she had only done it for him.He should be content with that.Humans tended to be greedy.He had already seen how stunning Hayden looked in women’s clothing and he wanted to see her in it more often.Kevin stayed by her side after leaving the main house, prais
Hayden pushed his hand away and said, “I don’t want anything, you don’t have to give me gifts.”The gifts he gave were all things that girls would like.Even though she was a woman, she did not care for girly gifts.“I won’t give you gifts then. How about you gift me something, Hay? I rarely receive gifts from you.”Kevin followed closely behind Hayden, walking with a big smile on his face. “If you give me a gift, no matter what it is, I’ll like it.”Hayden could not be bothered to respond to him.Zachary and Serenity watched from the pavilion as the two of them walked one after the other. Serenity smiled and said, “They’re quite lively.“Kevin talks a lot, while Hayden is more reserved. When they’re together, they really complement each other.”Grandma May had chosen their spouses based on their personalities. As long as they spent some time together, they would gradually fall in love with each other.Zachary embraced Serenity as she leaned on him. The couple gazed into the
“It’s already eight o’clock, and I noticed you haven’t come downstairs for breakfast. Alice, are you alright?”Alice habitually supported her protruding belly with one hand and smiled. “I’m fine, just been having some restless nights lately, so I decided to stay in bed. When Clive got up, I was already awake, but I didn’t feel like getting up. Haven’t you gone to the office yet?”“I'll go in a bit. There’s not much going on lately, so I’ll check in and then go to the bookstore. Jasmine is looking after the bookstore, and Seren is still on her honeymoon. She won’t be back at the company for this whole month.”After their wedding, although the newlyweds had not gone on a honeymoon or returned to work, they spent almost every day at Wildridge Manor, living a slow-paced and leisurely life, as happy as a pair of larks.Occasionally, Elisa visited the manor and saw the newlyweds enjoying their relaxed life, which made her envious.“Seren is still in her honeymoon period. Let her enjoy the ha
As they were talking, Alice furrowed her brows while cradling her stomach. She said to Elisa, “Elisa, I might actually be going into labor early. The pain is becoming more noticeable.”“I’ll take you to the hospital immediately.”Elisa started to get nervous.She helped Alice get up, but Alice stopped her and said, “First, go to my closet and get the pre-packed maternity bag I prepared a while ago. We need to take it with us to the hospital. Also, my prenatal checkup records are in the drawer of my dressing table, we should bring those too.”“Alright, you stay seated for now. I’ll go get them. Don't worry, don't be nervous, I won’t be long.”Elisa rushed out to get the maternity bag. She grabbed that along with the prenatal records, and in no time, she dashed down the stairs.Alice was still waiting for her, but to her surprise, once Elisa grabbed the maternity bag and her prenatal records, she dashed off without waiting for Alice or even asking her along.Alice was bewildered.
“Mom.”Elisa rolled down her car window and said to them, “Alice might be going into labor. She mentioned having some abdominal pain. We need to get her to the hospital quickly.”Audrey asked, “Who are you taking to the hospital?”“Alice, of course. She’s about to give birth.”Darrell asked, “Where is she?”Elisa turned her head and did not see Alice in the back seat, only the maternity bag.She was stunned for a moment.Realizing the situation, she slapped her thigh and said to Remy, “Remy, turn around now. Alice is still at home.”Remy was speechless.Audrey burst into laughter. She would have expected such a blunder from her son, not her daughter.Elisa blushed and said apologetically, “Alice asked me to take some things to the hospital, so I grabbed them and rushed out, thinking she had already left…”Remy laughed as he turned the car around, “Elisa, are you kidding me? You got me all worked up, and I followed you hastily without even thinking about the situation.”Af
