Chapter 2648

Author: Gu Lingfei
“No need, I have my own car. Oh, if we’re going to drink, I can’t drive. I’ll have the driver come over.”

Darren said, “No need to call the driver. I'll take you home. I don’t drink.”

“Suit yourself.”

Caroline wanted to have a couple of drinks to celebrate the success of her revenge plan.

She immersed herself back into work.

By the time she finished, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

The employees working late in the company had long gone home.

When she walked out of the office building, she saw Darren leaning against the car, waiting for her. As she approached, Darren straightened up and quickly walked toward her.

“How long have you been here?” Caroline asked as she got into the car.

“Not too long, about ten minutes.”

After both of them fastened their seat belts, he started the engine.

Caroline told him to go to a popular food truck. Darren chuckled. “Do you fancy food trucks for late-night snacks?”

“I used to go there often.”

Darren fell silent.

He knew Caroline's

    The night went by and darkness quietly slipped away in dreams.As the sun rose in the east, a new day began.At Wildridge Manor in Wiltspoon, Serenity came down from upstairs.“Liberty!”Hearing that her sister had arrived, she quickly rushed downstairs.Tania was chatting with Liberty.Upon hearing Serenity’s voice, both of them turned to look at her.Serenity approached, greeted her mother-in-law, and then sat next to her sister, asking, “Liberty, how come you’re free to come and see me today?”As the words fell, Liberty playfully tapped her forehead with a finger.“Isn’t it a good thing that I came to see you? Don’t you welcome me?”Serenity immediately embraced Liberty’s arm and laughed. “Very much welcome! It’s just that you have been so busy lately, always too occupied to come and see me. When I visit you, you always say the restaurant is crowded, afraid someone might accidentally bump into me, so you don’t let me stay there for too long.”“I’m just concerned about you

    Having successfully slimmed down and built her own business, Liberty regained her confidence.She would not eat voraciously like before, turning obese and losing so much in the process.“You’ve lost some weight now, so you should eat a bit more meat.”Liberty smiled. “I’m not thin at all. Seren, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”“Go ahead.”“I have a flight to Jensburg at three in the afternoon.”Serenity was surprised and asked, “Is it so urgent?”She knew her sister was going to make a trip to Jensburg soon but did not expect it to be this urgent.“Is something chaotic happening in the Fisher family?”“Chaotic or not, I’ll have to fly to Jensburg frequently. Besides contending for the position of the family head with Caroline, there’s also the matter of our grandparents’ deaths. As their descendants, we should investigate and find the truth. We can’t let their deaths go unexplained.”Serenity nodded.“Is it arranged by Aunt Audrey or is it your decision?”“Mi

    Liberty sighed. “Sometimes, he acts like a child.”The impact of the car accident was significant on Duncan.If it were not for his deep love for Liberty, he might have given up on himself, finding it difficult to stand up again.“I’ll talk to Zack later and ask him to visit him.”“I’ll bring Sonny to see him. He loves Sonny the most. When he sees Sonny, he’ll understand that you’re not blaming him.”“He knows I don’t blame him. I never have. It’s just that he feels useless. After such a long time of rehabilitation, he still can’t walk like a normal person. He scolds himself for being useless and even beats his own legs.“In fact, he has made great progress. Most people in his condition would take more than half a year to stand up, but he was able to do so and even walked a few steps a long time ago.”Duncan was severely injured in both legs and although he persisted in rehabilitation, he could not recover instantly.The doctor said he had a chance to walk normally as long as h

    “I know, I know. I care about your brother-in-law, so you can rest assured and go ahead with your big plans.”Afraid that Liberty would continue to nag, Serenity quickly surrendered and changed the topic, not wanting a lecture just before she departed.“When will you come back?”Serenity asked with concern, “If you can’t come back every now and then, both Sonny and I will miss you.”“Well, it’s hard to say. When I have time, I’ll definitely come back. My home is in Wiltspoon, and my family and friends are all here. Why worry that I won’t come back after going to Jensburg?”Liberty playfully poked her sister’s forehead and added, “Stop hugging me, how old are you? Still acting cute, Sonny will feel embarrassed seeing you like this.”“Even if I’m a hundred years old, in front of you, I’m still the little sister.”While Liberty was catching up and leaving instructions to Serenity, Duncan shut himself in his room and refused to come out.The door was even locked, and no matter how

    The knocking on the door stopped and then resumed.Duncan neither responded nor did he open the door.It was unclear how much time passed before the knocking resumed.It was followed by the sweet voice of Sonny.“Dunc, are you in the room? Are you asleep or awake? Can you open the door for me? I’m holding a tray, it’s very heavy, and my arms are sore from carrying it. Dunc, please come out and help me.“Dunc, my mom is on a business trip, and she didn’t take me with her. She asked me to stay at home with Aunt Seren and Uncle Zak. I feel sad because my mom didn’t take me. I want to cry. Dunc, can you hold me and let me sit on your lap while I cry?”After Sonny finished speaking, he really started crying loudly.Serenity watched in astonishment.When did this kid learn to act?He was acting quite convincingly.Duncan heard Sonny’s cries from inside his room. In less than two minutes, Sonny started wailing again. Thinking that Sonny was crying for real, Duncan immediately took a

    Serenity appeared in his line of sight.“Duncan,” Serenity called out gently.Zachary, who was beside Serenity, took the tray from Duncan and walked inside. Teasingly, he said, “Almost forty and still acting like a child. You even need a child to comfort you. Duncan, don’t you feel embarrassed? I’m embarrassed for you.”Duncan grunted, “If you think I embarrass you, then don’t come. I didn’t ask you to come and be embarrassed for me.”Zachary turned and glared at him. “You’re not happy with a few words from me. If you weren’t my buddy and possibly my future brother-in-law, do you think I’d bother with you? As if I have nothing better to do.”He placed the tray of food on the coffee table and said to Duncan, “Why are you sitting there? Come over and eat!”Duncan remained silent.Sonny, sitting on his lap, lifted his little face. His bright, black eyes looked at Duncan, and in a sweet voice, he said, “Dunc, I told Charmaine that I would make sure you eat. If you don’t eat, Charmai

    Being small with limited strength, Sonny wanted to help but he could only push the wheelchair and not support Duncan to walk.The little guy stayed quiet seeing that neither his aunt nor his uncle made a move. When he saw Duncan sitting down, he suddenly clapped his hands while praising him, “Dunc is amazing, Dunc can walk by himself. Dunc is amazing!”The preschool teachers often taught him to praise those who do well and criticize those who do not.Duncan did well, and he deserved some praise.The three adults were amused by Sonny’s actions.“Duncan, the food is still warm. Quickly eat. After you finish, we can chat,” Zachary said.“Yes, yes, Dunc, hurry up and eat. I promised Charmaine that I would coax you to open the door and eat. If you don’t eat, I’ll break my promise,” Sonny said as he walked to Duncan and sat beside him.Duncan felt warmth in his heart. He suddenly hugged Sonny, kissing the little guy on the cheek, saying, “Not in vain for me to treat you well all these

    “I won’t interfere with your life if we have just met for the first time, whether about casually speaking or doing things. But now, you’re my wife. We want to live a long, healthy life together. I must look out for you and try my best to keep you healthy.”Serenity thought to herself, ‘It seems like he thinks I’ll live forever and never get sick just because he looks after me.‘Then again, we are what we eat after all.’Anyway, she still had to watch her meals.She thought about this but remained silent, accepting her husband's advice quietly.After finishing his meal, Duncan put down his cutlery.Sonny considerately handed him a tissue.Duncan patted the child's head. He genuinely liked and cared for this kid.“Sonny, did your mom mention Dunc before she left on her business trip?"Sonny nodded. “Mom told me to keep an eye on you more and not let you do anything dangerous. She never thought you couldn’t walk or that you’d be a burden to her.”These words were spoken by Liberty

    Austin was extremely patient with the boys. Although they occasionally caused trouble, most of them were minor issues. They would never do something they were not allowed to do.After breakfast, Austin brought them their bags. With a boy in each hand, he left the house. It was to prevent the boys from saying he was playing favorites. Dominic was used to that scene. Initially, Austin was simply Ms. Isabella’s private chef. However, he gradually took on more responsibilities.He would take the two young masters to school. If he had time in the evening, he would also fetch them from school. Austin also made sure Louis and Phillip did their homework, supervised their hobby classes, and played with them. Sometimes, he would even teach them martial arts and train with them. Dominic felt Austin was an all-rounder. It seemed like there was nothing Austin could not do. No wonder Ms. Isabella thought highly of Austin. However, Austin was a young master of a wealthy family. He w

    Louis and Phillip were downstairs having the breakfast Austin had prepared for them. The food was different every morning, and everything was delicious.Having gotten used to Austin’s cooking, Louis and Phillip could no longer stand the food provided in the school. They thought the food there was terrible. Louis was enrolled in an elementary school not far from home. As he was a first grader, he did not need to stay in the dormitories and could have his lunch and dinner at home. Phillip, who was a year younger than him, was still in preschool. He would have breakfast and dinner at home. Actually, the preschool did provide breakfast, but Phillip refused to eat in school and insisted on having breakfast at home. In order to eat the breakfast Austin made, he would get up early in the morning without the adults waking him. After putting on his clothes and washing up, he would head to Louis’s place with his bag. “Austin.”Louis suddenly asked, “Did my sister come back last n

    Isabella had always thought Tati was teasing her. Therefore, she did not take her words seriously. She thought it was completely normal for Austin to treat her well as she was his boss. From Austin’s perspective, she was his source of income. Now that Isabella pondered about it deeper, she realized perhaps Austin did come to Satbury for her. It was not just to be her chef. He always said Grandma May only gave the York lads a year to pursue their fiancées. However, Austin had never left since he started working for Isabella. Even if he did, it was to accompany her on business trips. He was busy feeding and taking care of her every day and had never gone to pursue his so-called fiancée. He did not even try to gather information on her. Was he not anxious?A year would go by pretty quickly. Although it felt like it had not been long since Austin started working for Isabella, three months had passed. Time really flew. Three months had gone by in the blink of an eye. Neve

    When Austin reached the door, he stopped and turned to say, “Ms. Isabella, I only care about my future wife. Other young women are simply strangers to me.“I’m polite to other women when I need to be. If they’re unimportant, I’ll ignore them. Even if that woman is my boss, I won’t cross any lines. If I do, there must be a reason behind it.“Get some rest, Ms. Isabella. You might have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. I’ll prepare a warm honey drink for you in the morning.”After speaking, Austin left. Isabella turned to look at where he last stood. What did his words mean?He said he only cared about his future wife.Aside from this lady, he would not step out of line with any other young woman, even if she were his boss. What did he mean by crossing lines?Was it showing concern? Did he mean that if his boss was a young woman but not his fiancée, he would simply do what was required of him without any personal feelings involved? Was that what he meant?If so, was

    Isabella was cold sometimes, but that was not her true personality. She was a reasonable person. Austin was not worried that he would be mistreated as a live-in son-in-law. “Ms. Isabella.”Isabella looked toward him and waited for him to speak. He asked, “This may be abrupt, but may I ask what your ideal type is?”Isabella was stunned. Why did the question come to her? What was the type of man she liked?‘Someone like Austin,’ she thought. After a moment of silence, she said, “I like men who are capable, responsible, and have correct values. Even if his family isn’t as financially well-off as mine, I don’t mind so long as he’s honest, competent, and sincere about his feelings for me.“Of course, it’ll be great if we have the same social status. That way, we’ll have similar perspectives and more common topics. If we get married, we’ll be joining forces instead of it being a one-way financial aid.”“Although you can accept someone who isn’t from a similar family backgrou

    After a moment of silence, Isabella said, “It’s okay. I know I was forcing it.”There was no point in asking Austin if he did not want to reveal anything. If he wanted to tell her, he would do so without her asking. However, her curiosity spiked with his silence. She was eager to know who his fiancée was. He was already so protective of his fiancée even though he had not met her before. It made Isabella jealous. It was her first time feeling that kind of emotion throughout her life. Although it was not a strong feeling, she still felt it. “You weren’t forcing me to tell you. You were simply curious. Most people have a curious side. It’s only natural for you to be inquisitive as well.”Austin said gently, “It’s not just you. Those who knew that my nana had chosen fiancées for my brothers and me were also curious about who the ladies were.“To be honest, we didn’t even know Nana had been choosing fiancées for us since a few years ago until she handed their pictures to us

    “You can drink it now. It’ll turn cold if left aside for longer.”Isabella took the ginger ale and drank it with elegance. She put it down after drinking half of it. “I’m drunk, but only slightly. I can walk, and my brain is still alert. I know what I’m doing and saying.“I’ve had enough ginger ale.”She did not want to consume too much liquid late at night. “Which family is your fiancée from, Austin? Where is she? Do you mind telling me?”Isabella was insistent on getting answers. Austin had never told her when she had asked him about it before. He kept saying he would focus on working and that he was not in a rush to get married. After all, he was only in his twenties; Zachary only got married at thirty years old. If he was unsuccessful in wooing his fiancée that year, he did not mind waiting for a few more years. Isabella suddenly felt jealous of Austin’s fiancée, having had his heart without even doing anything. She wondered what Austin’s fiancée had done to cat

    Austin stared into Isabella’s eyes. He could detect some feelings in her gaze, but it was not obvious enough. What she felt for him was still mostly admiration. It was not the right time for him to confess yet. He would continue to wait. “You’re the best and most outstanding lady in my heart, Ms. Isabella. I admire you more.”Austin added gently, “You give off a strict and cold aura sometimes, but you’re always a nice person in my eyes.”Isabella had treated him well ever since he became her private chef. It only got better after she discovered he was a young master of the Yorks. Austin believed her when she said she viewed him as a friend because her actions reflected it as well. However, he was not content with being just friends. He wanted to be her husband. He wanted her to trust him and love him forever. He would also reciprocate her feelings and trust. Isabella smiled. “Even my parents are scared and avoid me when I’m in a serious mode. Louis and Phillip w

    Austin responded, “Don’t worry, Ms. Edith. I’ll take good care of Ms. Isabella.”Edith had come in a hurry and left just as quickly. The hidden meaning in her cousin’s words was not lost on Isabella, but she did not comment on it.She allowed Austin to accompany her into the house. The lights were still on inside, but the first floor was empty. Everyone else had already gone to bed.Since Isabella had not returned yet, the housekeeper had left the lights on for her.The house was warm, so once inside, Isabella took off Austin’s coat and handed it back to him.Austin accepted the coat and followed her to the sofa. After she had sat down, he asked gently, “Ms. Isabella, would you like some ginger ale for a hangover remedy?”Isabella rubbed her temples and said, “Yes, please. I don’t want to wake up with a splitting headache tomorrow.”Austin immediately went to prepare it for her.Isabella leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. After some time, she heard Austin’s
