Occasionally, Duncan would feed her snacks.By the time the movie ended, Liberty was full to the brim thanks to Duncan. She said, “Great. I haven’t even eaten supper yet, but I’m all stuffed. Now I have to take another walk to digest what I’ve eaten.”Duncan stood up. Liberty and the bodyguards hurried to support him as he walked outside.Duncan laughed. “Please wheel me back to the hotel on foot then. That’ll be your workout.”Liberty laughed too. “That’s fine with me, but if we’re walking all the way back, I might not be able to recognize the roads. If we get lost, we might end up spending the whole night walking in circles in Jensburg. You can’t blame me then.” “I won’t.”The sky was even darker now.By the time they came out of the movie theater, the streets were no longer bustling, gradually becoming less crowded.Liberty pushed Duncan as she walked slowly. The bodyguards followed them, protecting them silently.As they walked, it began to snow.“Duncan, it’s snowing. L
“Liberty, it’s very late. You should turn in. I’ll go back to my room to sleep too. Let’s have breakfast together tomorrow morning.”Duncan’s voice was a little hoarse.Liberty took the initiative to kiss him on the cheek. “Goodnight, Duncan.”“Goodnight.”Liberty wheeled him out. Then he wheeled himself back to his room.The smile on his face simply could not be restrained.It was very sweet.The rest of the night passed silently.It was the early morning of a weekend. There was no need to go to work. Coupled with the sudden cold weather, even Zachary who was usually an early riser did not feel like getting up. He stayed in bed, acting as a heater for his beloved wife.The drop in temperature in Wiltspoon made it feel so very cold, but it was actually only around fifty degrees Fahrenheit. It was predicted to reach a high of sixty degrees in the daytime.For Wiltspoonians though, this was already considered extremely cold weather.Many hurried to buy thick winter clothing on
Uncle Zak was lying to him.Serenity replied to Sonny, “It’s snowing there, is it? Sonny’s got pretty good luck to be able to see real snow so soon after getting there.”“And you can even make snowmen! I’ve never made a snowman in my whole life.”“Was breakfast yummy? Make sure to put on more layers so you don’t catch a cold, okay?”“Your Uncle Kevin has gone on holiday and will only be back in around two weeks. If you went with him, what about your preschool?”If Kevin knew about this exchange, he would sigh in relief that he had fortunately left quickly enough not to get clung to by a little third wheel.After receiving a response from Serenity, Sonny video-called her.The aunt and nephew talked for half an hour over the phone.After they hung up, Zachary muttered, “I didn’t know until today that Sonny was so chatty that he could talk to you for half an hour straight.”Serenity laughed. “He might be a chatterbox in the future.“But he’ll also be a warm-hearted boy.”A warm
Serenity uttered an “oh” in realization and then said to her husband, “Zachary, why don’t we go back to stay in the manor for two days too?“We don’t work on the weekends and nowadays the bookstore is closed on weekends too.”In the past, when she only had the bookshop to manage, she would open it on the weekends because she might still earn a little.Now that her business had grown, the bookstore only remained open because it had sentimental value to her and Jasmine. They did not care how much it earned.That was why they no longer opened on the weekends.Before Zachary could reply, he received a text from Josh. After reading the text, he showed his phone to his beloved wife and said with a smile, “Alright then. We’ll go back to the manor and spend the weekend there too.”“They’re coming too? Let’s invite Josh and Jasmine over to have lunch together then. Can we have a barbecue party? I haven’t had a good barbecue in a long time.”Liam was very much used to his daughter-in-law’
Zachary and Serenity wanted a daughter too, especially because he saw Chloe’s photos and videos every day.Ben’s precious baby girl was growing cuter by the day. She was fair and lovely with her big, round eyes and her lively watchfulness. She would definitely be a very smart child in the future.Ben posted several times a day on his Instagram stories. Without exception, it was always to show off his precious baby girl.Of course, only a few people were allowed to see his stories every day.Ben refused to show his darling baby girl’s face. No one in Annenburg knew what the twins looked like. They were too young and were well protected by the adults, who did not allow the media to take photos of their faces.Zachary could see Ben’s Instagram stories only because Serenity was on great terms with Jane. Otherwise, he would never be able to see it with just the acquaintanceship he shared with Ben.Zachary even felt that Ben was doing it on purpose. Despite knowing it was difficult for
“Honey, I want you to wear the jewelry I gave you tonight.”“Doesn’t matter whose gift I wear tonight, as long as I’m wearing the diamond ring you gave me.”Callum pecked Camryn on the lips. “Alright, I’ll let Mom have this round.”Camryn pinched Callum’s cheek in amusement.“Oh, right. That Mrs. Longbottom you and Serenity mentioned before will be attending the dinner tonight too,” Callum suddenly said.At the mention of the young woman who sounded and looked like Carrie figure-wise, Camryn lost her smile.She said calmly, “It’ll be a good time to observe her carefully then. She’ll slip up at some point if it’s a facade.”“I got someone to look into it when I was free. She really is Mrs. Longbottom. Her husband really is a Longbottom.”“Hmm.”Camryn only suspected that Mrs. Longbottom was Carrie and had no evidence to prove it.If Mrs. Longbottom and Carrie were one and the same, then there was a scheme in the works, which also meant that there had to be a schemer manipulati
Austin said to Grandma May, “Didn’t you say you wanted me to spend time with you, Nana?“But the moment we got back, before you’ve even taken a sip of water, you’re already planning to meet up with your old friends and play cards.”Serenity said, “Nana, it’s not easy for the old ladies to save up. You shouldn’t make them lose all their savings to you every time you come back.”Grandma May chortled. “I don’t take their money. Whoever loses gets one stroke drawn on their face to see who gets to become a Sharpie cat in the end.”Everyone was speechless at this.They could not understand the world of these old kids.All they could do was let them be.Soon, Josh and Jasmine arrived too, followed by Josh’s parents.This made the place even more lively.When Grandma May spotted Josh’s father, Wyatt Bucham, she asked, “Hey, Threebie. Has your oldest brother not come back from visiting his in-laws yet?”Wyatt was the third oldest among his cousins.Grandma May had always called him T
“Where are you going, Grandma May?” Josh asked when he saw that she was leaving.“I’ve been away for so long and only just returned, so I want to meet up with my old friends to catch up with all the gossip and play some cards.”She never put on the airs of a rich madam, so she got on particularly well with the employees’ mothers who lived at the foot of the hill.Those old ladies loved gossiping with Grandma May too.“You guys chat! I’m heading out. There’s no need to call me back once you guys start the barbecue party, just get someone to send me and my friends some of the food and I’ll eat with them. There’d better be some steak!”Serenity said, “Nana, you’re getting on in years. You should cut down on red meat.”“Oh, alright. I’ll listen to you. If you tell me not to eat it, I won’t then,” Nana conceded.“When I tell Nana not to eat red meat, she scolds me, but when Seren does it, Nana agrees right away,” Zachary grumbled.Grandma May was a typical example of someone who shu
