Chapter 2769

Author: Gu Lingfei
“Remy and Elisa have sent them off to take the plane.”

Josh said, “They’ve only been here for a couple of days, and they’re already leaving. I haven’t had the time to invite Mr. Young-Johnson for dinner yet.”

Serenity smiled and replied, “When you have time, you can fly to Annenburg to have dinner with Ben. His visit this time was simply to bring Laurence and play with Sonny for a couple of days.”

“I don’t have any free time now. I can’t get away. Zachary just ended his honeymoon and returned to work today. I’m so busy that I don’t even have time for a cup of water.”

Josh complained of his fatigue to Serenity.

“I’m taking the day off tomorrow. I haven’t told Zachary yet. If he disagrees, Serenity, help me persuade him. It’s been non-stop for a month. Tomorrow’s leave is not for rest, it’s to accompany Jasmine to the hospital for the prenatal checkup.”

Serenity readily agreed, “Sure, if Zachary disagrees with your leave, I’ll talk to him. You’ve been working hard lately. If needed

    Hearing the last two sentences from Zachary, Josh chuckled. “I don’t nag you, but you have no idea how busy and tired I am. We agreed before that when you’re back, you’d let me take a few days off. I have to remind you so you’ll keep your word.“And also, you promised that next year when Jasmine gives birth, I get a two-month paternity leave.”Zachary replied, “It’s not like you’re the one giving birth. Why do you need that long of a paternity leave? Taking one month off is enough to take care of your wife during her postpartum recovery.“Plus, so many members in your family are around. After postpartum, you won’t need to take care of her. I indeed promised to give you two months of leave at that time, and I thought it was quite generous. Yet, you still find it insufficient.”Josh retorted, “When Serenity gives birth, and if you manage to come to the office every day, work as usual, and don’t want to take care of your wife during her postpartum, then I’ll only take a one-month pate

    “Then I’ll call Nana now and tell her and the butler that we’ll be home to eat Italian food after work. Let’s invite Callum and his wife, the more, the merrier. Everything tastes better with more company.”Serenity added, “You go ahead with what you were working on, I’ll call Nana. Or I’ll invite in the family group chat, whoever is in Wiltspoon who is free tonight to come over for dinner. That should be enough people, and it’ll be lively enough.”Zachary chuckled, “They’re all busy, let’s not tag everyone in the group. Just invite Callum and his wife.”“Alright, I’ll do as you say. Hurry and finish up. You need to get them done before you can relax tonight.”Having just returned to work today, Zachary naturally would not entertain guests or work overtime.He would leave work on time and head home to be with his wife. At his wife’s repeated urging, Zachary begrudgingly returned to his desk and resumed work.Meanwhile, Serenity called Grandma May to inform her about the Italian

    After walking a few steps, Hugh turned around to look.It had been a while since Hugh last saw Caroline. Now, seeing her, he found her more attractive than before. There was a change in her aura—she seemed more confident, more astute, and capable.He thought he might be seeing things.Hence his momentary pause.Hugh almost did not recognize Caroline when he saw her.“If she were like this from the beginning, my brother might have set us up, and I might not have refused,” Hugh muttered to himself. However, even though Hugh could start liking Caroline now, he did not want to. He disliked the Fisher family.Caroline was a product of the Fisher family, but her upbringing away from them had toughened her up, making her resilient.Caroline was pretending to be someone she was not.Hugh preferred simpler girls and kept his distance from those who acted or deceived as Caroline did. Such girls suited Hayden. If they were a pair, the world would be in trouble.Fortunately, Hugh did

    After the cold exchange, Caroline said, “Mr. Hayden, I wanted to discuss the cooperation on your company’s project. I’ve brought the proposal with me. Take a look, Mr. Hayden.”With that, Caroline took the proposal from Darren and handed it over to Hayden.Hayden accepted and opened it for review.After finishing, Hayden placed the proposal on the coffee table, remained silent for a moment, and said, “Ms. Caroline, I think your proposal looks good, but Fisher Enterprise isn’t the partner I'm looking to collaborate with.“I feel that Fisher Enterprise’s strength is insufficient,” Hayden expressed frankly.Hayden was willing to collaborate with Caroline’s private company, and it would not be just one partner, there would be several, just to give Caroline a bit of face.After Liberty’s company was established, they would also obtain projects from Queen Enterprise.Caroline, with a good temper, smiled. “Mr. Hayden, I understand that currently, Fisher Enterprise is inferior to your c

    At least Hayden met with Caroline.If others came over, Hayden might not necessarily meet them.After taking the elevator down to the first floor, Caroline said to Darren, “You go back to the company. I’ll head home to take care of family matters. Mom has been busy these days.”Belinda was still at the hospital “taking care” of Hunter.Darren had also heard about an incident in the Fisher family, but the specifics were unknown to the people at the company. All they knew was that Belinda and her three sons had not returned to the company, leaving Caroline to oversee things.This led to discussions among employees. Despite Caroline often being scolded by Belinda as ineffectual, she was Belinda’s biological daughter. If something truly happened in the Fisher family, she would ultimately be the one to carry the weight.Those who had tried to block Caroline from taking a higher position were now scrambling, attempting various means to meet with Belinda and questioning what Caroline ha

    “Kevin.”Hayden was in a good mood, speaking with a hint of a smile.On the other end of the phone, Kevin felt pleasantly surprised. He chuckled. “Hay, what got you so cheerful? Even saying my name comes with a smile. I’ve known you for so long, and this isn’t something that happens often.”Hayden had affection for him, but her attitude toward Kevin was often icy.That was also Hayden’s personality; she had developed a demeanor of indifference and seriousness.“Do you wish I were in a bad mood?”“Definitely not! I wish you to be in a good mood every day, carefree and happy. But you carry such a heavy burden, which leads to immense pressure and the absence of a smile. Every time I see Hugh smiling carelessly, I feel like sticking tape over his mouth.”Kevin’s beloved was tirelessly dedicated to managing Queen Enterprise.Yet, Hugh had plenty of time to spend with his female friends, one after another, without settling down with anyone.Hayden chuckled. “Then go and seal his mou

    Since Kevin did not grasp the hidden meaning behind her words, Hayden never revealed it to him either. She would surprise him tomorrow night. The entire Jensburg would be in for a surprise as well. Hayden had confirmed her feelings for Kevin. If everything went well, she would get married to him within two years. She loved him and no longer wanted him to be labeled as gay. He was a straight man. She was the one who had deceived everyone. Hayden was willing to show up as a woman in public for once for Kevin. He would be elated. However, they might not have thought that the fact Hayden was a man was already cemented in everyone’s minds. Even if she attended the banquet in women’s clothing, others would probably think she was a man dressing up as a woman for Kevin instead. After all, Kevin had worn women’s clothes to please Hayden before. At that time, Queen Enterprise’s employees had found the “woman” familiar. They thought the “woman” was Kevin’s sister. However, the

    “I’m a little hesitant about it now, Mom.”Upon hearing that, Sophia said, “Don’t hesitate. You’re a girl. You’re allowed to dress up as one. You’ve worn men’s clothing for more than twenty years. It’s time for you to switch back. Think about how happy Kevin would be if he could accompany you to the banquet while you’re in a dress.“When that time comes, everyone will realize that you’re actually a woman. No one will criticize you and Kevin’s relationship anymore. Many people have come to me, asking me to stop you from dating Kevin. They mentioned he was ruining a good child like you and that you must have changed your dating preference because he kept bugging you.“I wanted to retort that you two were absolutely straight, yet you refused to return to being a woman. Since I couldn’t reveal it, I had no choice but to hold back and distance myself from those who gossiped about it. Mr. and Mrs. Queen were under a lot of pressure. They could ignore what outsiders said simply by dist

    Austin replied, “Both Mr. Louis and Mr. Phillip woke up very early, especially Mr. Phillip. He gets up earlier than Mr. Louis every morning. It’s really hard on him, getting up so early in such cold weather.”Sometimes, he himself felt like staying in bed a little longer, reluctant to leave the warm comfort of his blankets.Even after the New Year, Satbury remained quite cold. In contrast, over in Wiltspoon, the temperatures had begun to reach a high of over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime, with nighttime lows around fifty degrees.The two provinces and cities were simply incomparable. The temperatures in Wiltspoon were just so very comfortable for Satbury locals.Isabella smiled and said, “Phillip is just afraid he’ll get here too late and that you’ll assume he’s not coming over for breakfast, then not prepare any for him. He's such a little foodie.”The house was never short of snacks for the little ones. In fact, any goodies were always reserved for them first.Yet,

    Even when she attended banquets, she would show up in formal clothing. Isabella did not remember the last time she wore a dress. Perhaps it was when she was in third grade. In fact, she liked wearing pretty princessy dresses when she was young. Her mother had told her that.As Isabella was the first child and extremely adorable, Delphine had dolled her up like a princess. Her pretty dresses filled the closet. Her parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives would always gift her many beautiful dresses. As she grew up, perhaps when she was in fourth grade, she stopped wearing dresses. Regardless of who gave her new pieces, she would refuse to wear them and give them to her cousins instead. After everyone realized she disliked dresses, they gradually stopped giving her them. Delphine had asked Isabella why she disliked wearing dresses. Isabella reasoned that she could not walk quickly enough while wearing one. She valued speed and efficiency. Delphine said she had alway

    While the private chefs Ms. Isabella had hired in the past were respectful, they were leaning toward flattery instead of sincere dedication, like how Austin was toward Ms. Isabella.Dominic was experienced. He could sense that Ms. Isabella treated Austin differently. She was also a special existence to Austin. It was normal for young people to be attracted to each other. Initially, Dominic wanted to advise Austin not to even think about dating Ms. Isabella. However, upon discovering that Austin was a young master of a wealthy family, he decided not to interfere. Dominic was glad that he did nothing.Austin returned to the house. Instead of heading straight to the kitchen, he went upstairs. He stopped outside of Isabella’s room and knocked on the door lightly. No response came from within the room. Perhaps Austin was too soft when he knocked. He knocked on the door again with more force and asked, “Are you up yet, Ms. Isabella? It’s time to have breakfast.”Isabella w

    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.

    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
