Serenity and the rest in Wiltspoon were unaware of the drama unfolding at the Fishers in Jensburg. However, Serenity knew about Belinda’s visit to the Stone family. She brought this up to Zachary when they were chatting at night. Serenity guessed Belinda had something up her sleeves for staying in Wiltspoon for half a month. Zachary reassured her. While she kept an eye on Belinda’s whereabouts, he had also sent someone to tail her. Belinda would not be able to accomplish anything. Serenity had always believed in her man. Since Zachary told her not to worry, she could sleep in peace. Luckily, her morning sickness only lasted for a short period. She once feared her morning sickness would persist throughout her pregnancy, like Alice.However, Serenity would get sleepy easily. If Zachary did not wake her up, she could sleep the entire day. The next day, Serenity opened her eyes. As usual, the first thing she saw was her husband. Zachary said with a smile, “Good morning, hone
Zachary did not have to go to work and they would spend the whole day stuck to each other. They went downstairs after having breakfast in their room. Tania and Liam were chatting with Liberty and Duncan in the living room. Sonny was in Tania’s arms. When Serenity was at the staircase, she heard Tania saying, “Sonny has lost some weight. You should eat more during lunch later, Sonny. You must be well-fed this weekend. I can’t bear seeing you getting thinner.”Liberty laughed. “Aunt Tania, Sonny didn’t lose weight, he gained a few pounds even.”It was normal for elders to fuss over young children. “Kids are cuter when they are chubby. I like chubby children.”As Tania spoke, she gave Sonny a peck on the cheek and said, “Don’t listen to your mom, Sonny. You should eat more to grow tall.”Sonny said sweetly, “I can eat a lot, Grandma Tania. I eat more than Aunt Ser.”“Really? We should have a competition to see who eats more later,” Serenity chimed in. Sonny saw Serenity wal
After Sonny spoke, he looked toward Zachary and asked, “Are you angry, Uncle Zak? That Aunt Ser doesn’t have a baby girl.”Zachary sat on the sofa with Sonny on his lap. He answered the boy’s question after Serenity sat beside him. “I’m not angry. Although I yearn for daughters, a son doesn’t sound bad either. It’ll be great if Serenity gives birth to an adorable son like you.”Actually, Zachary had little hope. It was only when they had their future told by Grandma May’s psychic that they started betting on having a daughter.Serenity also said that the baby’s gender did not matter. They only got pregnant after trying for a year. The baby would be precious regardless. Sonny sighed in relief. He slid down Zachary’s thighs and went to Liberty. He said, “Uncle Zak and Aunt Ser aren’t angry at me, Mom. You shouldn’t tell me to lie anymore.”Everyone laughed. Liberty blushed as she grinned. She lightly pinched her son’s face and said, “Go play outside, but don’t go too far.
Duncan smiled. “I’ve been busy.“You and Serenity are on your honeymoon too. I didn’t want to disturb you guys.”Although Zachary and Serenity did not travel overseas for their honeymoon and settled with a drive within Wiltspoon, he wanted to refrain from intruding on their time. If he and Liberty were to get married, he too would prefer some uninterrupted time during their honeymoon. He would want to travel with his wife and watch the sunset or sunrise. Those kinds of days sounded amazing. After the butler had taken Sonny to Rowan, he saw Josh and Jasmine while on his way back. He entered the main house and informed Zachary, “Mr. Bucham is here, Mr. Zachary.”Tania beamed. “Speak of the devil.”Serenity continued, “Luckily we weren’t badmouthing him.”Everyone burst out laughing. Josh entered the house with Jasmine. He brought gifts too. “Jas.”Serenity waved at her best friend when she spotted her. Zachary got up and walked to Josh. He accepted the gifts from Josh and
Serenity smiled and said, “Zachary is not a hen-pecked husband. I don’t nag him that much.”“But he always uses Serenity as an excuse for things he doesn’t want to do. He often says things like, ‘My wife doesn’t like me smoking,’ ‘My wife doesn’t like me drinking,’ and ‘I can’t socialize because I have to go home and be with my wife.’ Basically, he always uses his wife as an excuse.”“Josh.”Jasmine scolded her husband playfully, “No one will think you’re a mute if you stay silent.”Josh laughed, “I’m just afraid people will mistake me for a mute, so I have to say something.”Duncan teased him, saying, “You make it sound like you’ve never used your wife as a shield. The people in Wiltspoon all know that you and Zack are both doting husbands, overly devoted, and famous for being wife-obsessed.“It’s just the pot calling the kettle black.”Josh chuckled, “Duncan, you’re biased. You’re siding with Zachary and ganging up on me with your brother-in-law.”Duncan blushed from the teas
Who knew if this young lady might be a suitor for one of the young masters?This young woman was Carrie.After getting out of the car, she walked directly to the security booth window and began hitting the guard with her phone.He did not expect her to become physically aggressive, so he was not prepared. He received a light tap from her. Once he realized what happened, he quickly stood up and backed away, avoiding a second attack from Carrie.“Why did you hit me?”“I hit you just because you’re a watchdog, what’s the matter? Let me tell you, let me through immediately! Do you know who I am? I’m Camryn’s sister, her own sister! I’m the sister-in-law of Callum York. If you dare block me and prevent me from going up the hills, you’re asking for a beating!”Camryn’s sister?In the past, the Newman family did not have much interaction with the York family. Most of the staff at the villa only knew that Camryn had a brother who was in college. There had been no mention of a sister by
Despite that, one of the guard dogs managed to bite Carrie on the foot.Camryn was not at home. Without her permission, the butler did not allow Carrie inside. Instead, he gave her some money to get vaccinated at the hospital.Terrified by the encounter with the dogs, Carrie grabbed the cash and quickly fled. Before leaving, she made it clear that she would settle scores with Camryn.This morning, with the company of her two cousins, she returned to the Newmans’ villa. Only then did she find out that Camryn had gone to spend the weekend at Wildridge Manor with Callum.Carrie was furious.On the spot, she set out with her two cousins via a taxi and headed straight for Wildridge Manor.Carrie had let her be bitten by the guard dogs, and she was determined to hold Camryn accountable. She also planned to report to the few Mrs. Yorks, exposing Camryn’s cruelty beneath her seemingly benevolent exterior.After all, they were still biological sisters from the same mother despite their po
A few minutes later, the taxi driver dropped the three of them off at the entrance of the manor.“Here you go, folks, we’ve arrived. Who’s paying the fare?”The two cousins got out of the car, lost in their own thoughts.They were only there to bolster Carrie’s confidence, so they did not want to reach into their own pockets to fork out more expenses.They were no longer the pampered young masters of wealthy families. They had bidden farewell to their days of extravagant spending. Now they worked regular jobs, earned a few thousand bucks a month, and had to support their wives and children. They needed to be frugal.Unlike Carrie.Despite her bitter feud with Camryn, she was still a young lady of the Newman family and had a share in the family’s wealth.Once she returned to the Newman family and reclaimed her bank cards, phone, and car keys, she would have endless wealth. This taxi fare had to be on Carrie.Observing her two cousins getting out without any intention of paying
