Fortunately, Alice did not keep her husband waiting for too long as the nurse soon pushed her out of the delivery room.“Babe!”Clive ran to Alice.Alice’s hair was messy, and her lips were cracked.Even so, Alice was in good spirits when she saw that everyone was waiting for her. She said to her husband, “Clive, we have a son! They said the baby looks like me.”Felicity said, “Yeah, your son resembles you. The baby is very healthy.”Clive leaned down and kissed his beloved wife on the forehead. He said in distress, “Thanks for your hard work, babe. Let’s not have any more children. One is enough.”Alice’s family hoped that she would give birth to a boy.The Stones had a big business empire, and Clive said that they would only have one child. Alice’s family felt that their daughter’s position in the Stone family was secure because she had given birth to an heir.After giving birth, Alice was also glad that she had a son. That way, her son would not have to endure the pain of c
Alice held her son and kissed him several times, smiling. “Of course, he looks like me. I gave birth to him! His mouth looks like Clive’s.”Alice glanced at her husband and said, “He has both our features, but he looks more like me.”Clive said dotingly, “It’s better that way since I’m not as good-looking as you.”Everyone laughed.Alice and Clive were a good-looking couple. The baby was still so small, so it was hard to tell whose looks he would take after. Yet, everyone was sure he would be a handsome little boy in the future.Alice needed more rest after giving birth, so everyone left after a while.Clive and Audrey stayed in the hospital to take care of Alice and the baby.After coming out of the hospital, Serenity and Zachary went to the Stones’ residence.The Stones were beaming with joy because they just welcomed a new baby.The Hunt sisters bought a lot of nutritional supplements for Alice.Audrey said to her nieces, “We don’t lack anything at home. Why did you buy so
Zachary had been reading up on pregnancy and knew that pregnant women should get enough exercise. It was not healthy to stay in bed or sit still all day.“Don’t worry, Aunt Audrey.”Audrey was happy with her niece’s husband and sighed when she looked at Liberty. Serenity was lucky to have met Zachary, who pampered her after they were married.On the other hand, Audrey felt sorry for Liberty.Liberty had a failed marriage with a vile man. After the divorce, Liberty led a better life and even had a sincere admirer—Duncan. However, Duncan got into a car accident and was undergoing rehab for his broken legs. No one knew when Duncan would fully recover.If Duncan could not recover fully, Audrey would not approve of Liberty and Duncan being together because Liberty had suffered enough in her previous marriage. She was hoping Liberty could be as happy as Serenity for the remainder of her life with her soulmate, rather than get dragged down by a disabled person.Audrey was just a pragmat
Liberty read between the lines of Audrey’s suggestion and nodded with a smile. “I hope my food will be served all over the country one day.”“Liberty, that day will come,” Serenity cheered.She had complete faith in Liberty’s ability to pull it off.Audrey laughed and said, “All women of Fishers are capable.”Especially the eldest daughter.If it had not been for their family’s demise decades ago, Liberty would have been the matriarch of the Fisher family.The women in the Fisher family were all capable.Caroline Fisher was a good example. She pretended to be weak and deceived the entire family.Perhaps the only person who could see through Caroline’s act was her biological mother, Belinda.Serenity hesitated to speak and she kept mum till the end.She was fully aware that her sister was capable but becoming the matriarch of the Fisher family might be very intense. After all, it involved grudges across two generations.The current matriarch was so cruel as to kill her elder
Audrey did not notice Serenity’s hesitance, but Liberty did and guessed that her sister wanted to talk to her about the Fisher family from Jensburg.After the Hunt sisters went out, the only ones left in the living room were Darrell, Zachary, and Remy.Grandma May did not follow Zachary and Serenity to the Stones’ residence after the hospital visit, so Zachary arranged for someone to take his nana back to the villa. Zachary did not know and could not care less whether Grandma May made a detour before going home. She was an active elderly woman who just would not stay at home.The three grown men drank tea and chatted about business matters.The Hunt sisters walked out of the house. Liberty wanted to help her sister down the steps, but Serenity smiled and said, “Liberty, I’m less than three months in, and my body hasn’t changed much yet. Aside from the morning sickness a while back that reminded me of the pregnancy, I’m not any different than before. You don’t need to help me down t
Liberty paused for a moment and said, “Caroline is in a very difficult situation now. If we go back, it’ll be even more difficult for her.”Caroline was Belinda’s daughter. If she had been trained as a successor since she was a child, she would have been able to take over smoothly. However, she was swapped out and had spent over twenty years in the housekeeper’s household.Her level of education was incomparable to the others in the Fisher family.After Caroline returned to the Fisher family, the fake heiress, Celine, continued to stay with the Fishers and became the second young lady of the Fisher family. In the eyes of outsiders, the Fisher family was partial to Celine. After all, they had been living with Celine for more than twenty years.In the past, Belinda did her best to raise Celine because she did not know that Celine was not her blood. Although Celine was not particularly outstanding, she was still much better than Caroline, who had just returned to the Fisher family. At
Staying single was better than settling for a bad marriage.Everyone’s way of life was different.“I saw Belinda Fisher at my wedding. She didn’t leave immediately after coming to Wiltspoon. I thought she would visit Aunt Audrey, but nothing happened even after two weeks.”Serenity had never met Belinda before and only noticed her presence when Zachary pointed it out to her at their wedding.It was Serenity’s idea to invite Belinda to their wedding because she wanted Audrey to see Belinda and confirm her identity.Even though Audrey and Caroline had done a blood test, it was best to confirm again.That way, they would know who their enemy was before they took their revenge.“Maybe she’s feeling guilty, or maybe she has already left.”Liberty was busy with her sister’s wedding and did not pay attention to the Fisher family.She did not even see Belinda there.“I think she may be investigating Aunt Audrey and our grandmother.”Serenity made a guess. “News spread in Jensburg th
Liberty poked Serenity’s forehead and said, “Zachary is concerned about you. Besides, he only talks to me when you’re the one in the wrong. He doesn’t make false accusations. If he doesn’t care about you at all, he won’t even pay attention to what you do.”Serenity smiled. “Yes, my Zachary’s the best. My bad, Liberty. He’s just concerned about me.”“That’s right. Yet you got unhappy when your mistakes were pointed out.”Liberty poked Serenity’s forehead again. “I told Zachary to inform me if he couldn’t handle you. I’m the only person who can make you behave.”Serenity stuck out her tongue playfully. They continued strolling in the Stones’ courtyard to exchange secrets and then returned to the house. Not long after, Audrey and Elisa went to the hospital with a few containers packed with food. Remy drove them while Darrell was tasked to entertain Zachary. Since Serenity and Liberty had visited Alice and the baby, they left shortly after having a meal at the Stones’ house.
