“Want to come along?”

No matter where it was, wherever Zachary lived, there would be a large collection of fine wines.

“No, thanks. I’m scared of getting drunk again. When you get drunk, you have your wife to take care of you. I am but a single dog. No one would take care of me even if I got alcohol poisoning and died.”

“You make yourself seem so pitiful. You could go on a blind date too and have a shotgun marriage to get a wife to take care of you.”

Josh chuckled. “With you as a precedent, I think I’d better obediently wait for my fate to come around.”

“What’s wrong with me? I’m doing just fine!”

“Sure, sure. You’re doing just fine. So much so that your expression hasn’t warmed a single degree for the past few days. Your work efficiency has increased a lot, but you’ve made life harder for those under you. These few days, more and more people have automatically volunteered to work overtime even into the wee hours.”

York Corporation would not force its employees to work overtime.

I’ve already paid $40 US dollars on this storyline and not even near the end, it’s now saying I need to purchase more. I’ve never had to pay so much for a single story. So I am definitely deleting this app.

    Josh was not surprised that Hank Brown was having an affair.He said, “That sister-in-law of yours changed too much after getting married. When Hank Brown got promoted, he probably thought any other woman would be a better match than her. As time passed, he began losing interest in her.”Zachary’s gaze was cold, and so was his tone of voice. “Why did she change? Because she loved him. She gave birth to a child for him without a care for how her body would change. And to let him focus on his work, she single-handedly raised the kid and took care of the whole household alone. She gave up her youth and her beauty for him.”While Zachary knew that Liberty looked different after her marriage, that was not an excuse for Hank to have an affair. Ruthlessness had long lurked within Hank, but it just had not had the chance to make its appearance before this. Now that he was doing well in his job, he was arrogant and started to look down on his wife, treating her with disgust. If Hank was

    ”Serenity, what’s all this?”Callum had detected the smell of seafood.“It’s seafood. A friend of mine brought it back after holidaying by the beach. She gave me a lot. They’re all fresh, and your brother and I can’t eat that much, so I’m giving some to you guys to bring home and eat.”Callum stole a glance at his nana. Seeing that she was not declining it, he said, “This is a lot.”Seafood was something their family lacked the least.However, since it was given to him by his sister-in-law, he best helped bring them home.“Nana, don’t forget to give everyone a portion to try.”Serenity had meticulously prepared a portion for each family unit, contained in individual nets. After getting home, all Grandma May had to do was to hand it out portion by portion. They were equally divided.“Alright, I will.”Grandma May waited for Callum to put the seafood in the trunk before getting in the car. She then said to Serenity, “Serenity, I texted Zack earlier, telling him to come over and

    Serenity got in her car and sped off.Zachary watched her go before walking into the bookshop. He took a look at the materials that she had not put away yet. He could not make sense of it, so he turned away and went into the kitchen.He washed the wok and put a little water in it before placing the leftovers from lunch into the wok, then turned on the gas to heat it up.Out of boredom, he casually opened the fridge and saw that it was stuffed full of seafood.They were all given by Elisa Stone.Elisa Stone was pretty generous to Serenity, even dragging a carful of seafood back for her.Thinking of how Serenity taught Elisa how to pursue him and that being the reason Elisa gave her so much seafood… and that he’d eaten quite a bit at lunch…“Serenity? Serenity!”Shawn Lowe’s cries came from outside.Zachary immediately turned the fire down to its lowest and speedily ran into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.There was no other reason than for the fact Shawn Lowe had me

    Zachary only came out of the bathroom when he heard Shawn’s footsteps fade into the distance.He was thankful for two things right then and there. One for Nana calling him over, and two for himself resisting his pride and taking the out that Nana offered him. Otherwise, Shawn would have the chance to be alone with Serenity.Shawn walked out of the bookshop, got into his car, and drove away. However, just as he reached a junction, he stopped his car and called Serenity.Serenity quickly picked up his call.“What’s up, Shawn?”“Serenity, are you free later? Around 7:30 pm.”“Why?”Serenity did not say if she was free but instead straightforwardly asked him why.Shawn hesitated before saying, “I have to attend a business reception at Wiltspoon Hotel in a while. I need a female companion. You know me, I don’t have a girlfriend yet, so I wanted to ask for your help to accompany me to the reception.”“Get Jasmine to go with you. I’m not free. My husband’s still waiting in the booksh

    Despite Zachary having said there was no need to get anything else to eat, Serenity still ordered two freshly cooked dishes and two portions of white rice to go.After paying for the food, she walked out of the restaurant carrying the packed food and got into her car.Ring, ring, ring…Her phone started ringing again.This time, the call was from Zachary.Shawn came and went, but Zachary was overly sensitive about it, so he could not resist making a call to Serenity.“I’m coming back now,” Serenity immediately said without waiting for Zachary to speak first, and promptly hung up. Zachary, who was almost immediately hung up on by his wife, looked at his phone in silence for a long while.He knew Serenity was still mad at him in her heart.The two of them had not actually made up. Their current situation was only due to Nana’s interference and out of respect for her.Serenity did indeed return to the bookshop in a jiffy.“Have the leftovers been heated up? We can eat now.”S

    “If you want to, we can take a weekend trip to the seaside too and have seafood freshly caught from the sea.”This was Zachary’s first time suggesting that they take a weekend trip.“It’s already November.”“As long as the sun behaves normally, November in Wiltspoon is still hot, especially during the day. It’s even more suitable to go to the seaside for a holiday then. It won’t be too cold nor will it be too hot.” Serenity rubbed her stomach. “We can talk about this later. I can’t be sure now that I won’t have something else on that weekend.”Zachary gave a hum in response.As he cleared the table and brought the dishes into the kitchen to wash them, he heard his great and mighty wife remind him, “Don’t pour too much dishwashing liquid in and end up filling the sink with bubbles.”Zachary kept a straight face and did not respond.After ten minutes, Zachary was done with the dishes.Having looked in the fridge earlier, he knew there were some fruits in the fridge.He washed

    Zachary saw that Serenity’s attention was entirely focused on her phone and had the impulse to snatch her phone away.The good thing was he had great self-control, so he did not actually do that, lest the relationship deteriorated again.He walked closer, stood in front of Serenity, and said in his deep voice, “Honey.”Bam!Serenity was so shocked by him calling her “honey” that she dropped her phone on the floor.She quickly bent over to pick her phone up. When she saw that her phone screen cracked really badly, she immediately said in dismay, “My phone case cost a hundred bucks.”Zachary took the phone from her and had a look at it. Yeah, it was broken pretty badly. When he heard her words of dismay about the phone case, he said, “I’ll buy you ten in compensation.”“You should buy a few more for me. I’m worried I’ll drop my phone case and break them multiple times when you lose your marbles and call me ‘honey’.”The corner of Zachary’s mouth spasmed. He looked at her in silen

    Zachary was speechless for a moment. “Can’t you see the sincere emotions in my eyes? Shawn looks at you the same way I just looked at you. I’m a man so I understand how other men are. He has a crush on you, and he’s been crushing on you for a very long time.”It was just this silly woman who foolishly thought of him as a younger brother.Shawn did not want to be her younger brother, he wanted to be her man.As for her teasing, Zachary did not stop Serenity from teasing him again and taking advantage of him.“Are there emotions in your eyes? I can only feel killing intent.”Zachary’s expression darkened.His performance had been in vain.Serenity laughed embarrassedly. “Maybe your acting just wasn’t good enough. Any emotion in the eyes has to come from the heart. You don’t love me, so your gaze when you look at me naturally wouldn’t have any emotions then.”Zachary raised his hand.He finally smacked away her mischievous pair of hands.“Mr. York.”“Say it.”“I— Um, I think,

    Trenton was relieved that Dalton was indebted to Camryn. That was why Dalton had been loyal to Newman Enterprise.If Newman Enterprise did not fall into Camryn’s hands, there was no doubt that Dalton would leave the company. If that happened, the company was doomed.When his parents went to prison, he was merely 18, and Carrie only knew how to spend money. Not only that, their relatives were hungry to get a share of the Newman family’s assets. He and Carrie could not have protected their family’s wealth alone.After Camryn regained her sight, she still could not strain her eyes for long hours. Therefore, Dalton remained in charge of the company.Luckily, they had Callum as well. Even if anything were to happen, Callum would not leave Newman Enterprise to fall because many of the Newman family’s assets belonged to Camryn.He would not let Camryn lose anything.“You’ve been brainwashed by Dalton after working with him.

    Camryn said, “She’s just using her lack of money as an excuse to start a fight with me.“Do you really think she has no money?”Carrie had somehow become Mrs. Longbottom yet she was still hiding her identity. Camryn had not understood the entire situation yet.Nevertheless, she was certain that Carrie did not need money.After she spoke, a familiar car arrived.It was the car Carrie had always used in the past.When she returned to the Newman family’s villa after getting out of prison, she only drove that car. She could not take other cars. The cars were still parked in the garage. “Come out, Camryn.”Carrie had gotten out of the car and started shouting for Camryn.When the York family’s bodyguards saw her, they simply glanced at her and did not stop her from entering the store. They knew Camryn had always been lenient with her younger sister.Since Camryn did not give any orders to stop Carrie from entering, the bodyguards simply kept an eye on Carrie to ensure that sh

    “I want to go to Spring Blossoms as Carrie,” she told the bodyguard who was driving. “Your sister’s people are keeping an eye on your apartment. She’ll get suspicious again if you head over in your outfit. Everything Mr. Longbottom arranged will go to waste,” the bodyguard reminded her.Carrie thought it over. “Okay. Let’s head home first. I’ll change my clothes and remove my makeup before heading over.”She would also check if her stand-in had damaged any of her stuff.If she did, Carrie would tell the stand-in to compensate her.The bodyguard remained silent.Once they arrived at Longbottom Villa, Carrie took off her hyper-realistic mask and removed her makeup. After changing her clothes, she returned to being Carrie and went out with her bag.Her two bodyguards did not stop her from leaving.She could do anything as long as it would not rouse Camryn and other people’s suspicions.Besides, Carrie had just gotten scolded by their boss on the phone. Although Mr. Longbottom

    Mr. Longbottom thought he was not so inferior to men younger than him.More accurately, he was far superior. He had status, money, and power.Which of the younger men could be on par with him unless they came from a wealthy family?Many sons of wealthy families could not compete with him.“I can’t go over because I’m busy these days. But I do miss you too.“It’s more difficult because of the festive season. There are many events, and I have to accompany my family. My wife doesn't care about me, but her request is that I be with her during the holidays because we have to meet our friends and families. Do you understand?”Mr. Longbottom had a wife and children. Carrie knew about it. He had never hid that fact.Carrie did not know if he was close to his wife. Although he said they no longer had feelings for each other, Carrie dared not believe him because he had never let other women take his wife’s place.He also never allowed other women to become pregnant with his children.Mr

    Carrie thought she had matured since she could figure out that much. In the past, she would not have understood a thing. Love was about accepting everything about someone. Most people could tolerate their partner’s shortcomings when they were deeply in love. However, without love, even a person’s strength would seem like a fault. Carrie smiled. “Mr. York is a workaholic. Serenity must’ve gotten the habit from him and turned into one herself. I can’t believe she’s working so hard even though she’s pregnant.”“She’s still in the early stages of pregnancy. Going to work is fine.”“Do you need anything else, Mrs. Longbottom?” Jasmine asked.“No. I shall take my leave now, Mrs. Bucham.”Jasmine was on guard and unwilling to reveal much about Serenity. Therefore, it would be better for Carrie to leave. She was not close to Serenity and her friends yet. “Bye, Mrs. Longbottom.”Jasmine saw Carrie out and watched as she got into her car.Once Carrie got far enough from the booksto

    Mr. Longbottom had been surprised by her question. He told her coldly that she should refrain from asking unnecessary questions.One who knew too much would not live long. Carrie got intimidated and dared not ask another question. Although she got more curious, she did not try to gather more information for fear Mr. Longbottom would choke her again if he found out. “Nothing. I just asked because I haven’t seen her in a while.”Of course, Carrie could not reveal that she was looking for Serenity. Jasmine would get suspicious if she did. No one around Serenity was a fool. “Seren is busy with work. I rarely see her these days,” Jasmine said.Carrie knew it was a lie. She was aware that Serenity's closest friends did not trust her yet. It made her feel defeated. It had been months since Mr. Longbottom found her and asked her to approach Serenity. Despite her efforts, she still had not obtained Serenity’s trust, let alone become her friend.However, Jasmine and Serenity go

    The day ended peacefully. The following day, Zachary ate breakfast and had Kevin drive him and his bodyguards to the airport. They were taking an airplane to Annenburg. Before boarding, Zachary texted Serenity to tell her he would soon arrive in Annenburg. Serenity would be returning from the Murphys’ place. On the other hand, Liberty brought Duncan to Queen Manor to visit Mr. Donald. They would soon become related to each other. Since Duncan was in the city, it was only proper that he visited the Queens. Meanwhile, in Wiltspoon, Jasmine had returned to the bookstore despite it being the winter holidays. She found it rather dull being at home all the time. At the bookstore, even when there were no customers, she could chat with the owners of the nearby stores. While some had closed their stores to celebrate the festive season, many chose to stay open. Jasmine was a month further into her pregnancy than Serenity. Her bump was huge. Luckily, it did not restrict her moveme

    After half an hour, Liberty and Duncan finally arrived at the hotel. They bumped into Zachary and Kevin, who had also just returned.“You’re here, Duncan.”Zachary walked toward them. “Hi, Liberty.”Kevin walked over as well. “I told Zachary that you’d be here in no time. Being apart from your girlfriend isn’t easy, right?” Kevin teased.“You’ve experienced it yourself,” replied Duncan as he laughed. Kevin did not respond. He did miss Hayden a lot in the early stages of their relationship. “You two bought so many things.” Kevin saw the items in Duncan’s arms and on his thighs. They were all toys. “Sonny’s getting new toys again, eh?” “Yeah. We bought him some new clothes and toys. I’ve been giving him windmills all the time. It’s time to change it up.”Even Duncan found it slightly ridiculous. He thought Sonny loved windmills just because he saw Sonny playing with them once. That was why he kept getting more windmills for Sonny.Sonny used to be scared of him, but

    She would wear light make-up for work to accentuate her beauty. Sometimes, she could not believe the glowing, confident woman looking back at her in the mirror was herself. She had changed a lot after her divorce two years ago. “I’m letting myself enjoy tonight because I’m with you. I won’t have late-night snacks anymore. Going on a diet is too difficult. I don’t want to do it again.”If she gained too much weight, it would be difficult to get fit again because she was happy and did not lack money. In addition, she had Duncan spoiling her. Since she no longer wanted to go on a weight loss journey, she had no choice but to control her appetite and exercise daily to maintain her figure. “I heard the others saying that you have many admirers here. Although they’ve not said anything, even a fool can tell that they’ve fallen for you just from their gazes.”The men who had a crush on Liberty knew she had a fiance who was the young master of the Lewises from Wiltspoon.
