Even though there was a nanny and a butler at home, a mother would still have to devote her attention to caring for her child. Sometimes, this would keep her so busy her husband would be neglected.By then, there would be little chance for the couple to have time alone together like they did now. Tania understood this from experience.“Alright. Once winter break starts, I’ll bring Sonny back for a couple of days.” Serenity could not bear to ruin Tania’s joy, so she decided to bring Sonny back to visit before their week-long trip to Annenburg. They would be back by Christmas.“Just for a couple of days? Is Sonny going to Jensburg?” Tania asked in concern. “Jensburg is so cold, and it snows often. Will Sonny be able to bear it? He might find it fun if it’s only for a short visit once in a while, but he might catch a cold if he stays there every day. It’s hard for us to adapt to the bitter cold over there.”The temperature in Wiltspoon usually dropped around ten degrees and everyone w
Serenity replied, “Alright. We’ll leave Sonny to you when the time comes. We’ll come back first to finish up our work, and when it’s almost Christmas, we’ll take another trip to pick you guys up.”The elder couples of the two families were retired and bored. If they were staying together, they would at least have a fun time even just playing cards. If they talked to Ben about this, Ben would surely agree.Tania happily headed for the kitchen to get the cook to make more of Serenity’s favorite dishes, making sure her son’s palate was taken care of at the same time. When she returned from the kitchen, Grandma May got home. She immediately abandoned her friends and returned to the manor with Sam when she heard Zachary and Serenity were back to see her.“Nana,” Serenity greeted sweetly.Grandma May smiled back kindly. After they hugged, she pulled Serenity over to the sofa to sit down. Tania personally prepared some fruits and various types of snacks for Serenity. Before Serenity got p
Grandma May laughed and said, “Now that’s the Audrey Fisher I know. She should take back whatever should have been hers in the first place. She doesn’t need a reason! Even if Mr. Patrick doesn’t have much evidence regarding Tiara and her family’s deaths, he’s one of the witnesses. His statement is proof too. If Tiara wasn’t murdered, why was he being hunted?“Doc and the rest were the ones who saved him. Even though they’ve been retired for decades, they’re still talked about, and with Dr. Carden’s reputation, they’ll return to the public’s eye and remind everyone of their past.“With their testimony to prove that Mr. Patrick was being pursued and was seriously injured as a result of that, everyone will believe every single word he says. Now, all Mr. Patrick has to do is take good care of his health. It’ll be great if he can go with you guys to confront Belinda, otherwise, just get him to record a video and the other old fellows to accompany you guys as backup. Belinda might deny it
“Nana, once we’ve had lunch and a bit of rest, we’ll head back to pick Sonny up before heading over to my aunt’s to eat.”Grandma May hummed in acknowledgment. “I’ll get ready to go with you then. It’s rare for those old fellows to come to Wiltspoon. I must play my part as the host. Then, I’ll stay with you guys for a few days. What were you two talking about before I got back?”She sped through the matters at hand. Serenity and the rest fell silent for a moment.Then, Tania picked up the conversation. “Sonny’s going to visit the Johnsons once his school lets out for the winter. Seren and Zack are both busy with work. I’m following Sonny to take care of him so they can work with peace of mind and finish up as soon as they can. Do you want to come with, Mother?”“Of course I do. I miss my great-grand-goddaughter terribly. I’ll go pick some jewelry from my stash later to bring with me and give it to her as part of her inheritance.” Grandma May did not mean costume jewelry by that. Sh
At Dylan PLC—a Dylan-owned company that had nothing to do with York Corporation, not even any business dealings. This was mainly because his company was not involved in any of the industries York Corporation was in.Dylan had just returned from a meeting and was at the door to his office when he heard a familiar but furious voice.“Dylan York!” It was Chameleon Fox. Dylan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fox was wearing red. She was wearing something different, but it was still red as usual. He found her incredibly beautiful and moving when he saw her in her red attire at night but in the daytime, she was even more astonishing.It was a shame she did not have a fine temper, though that was precisely how he liked her.“Mr. York, this lady insisted on seeing you. We tried but couldn’t stop her.” Following her was his head of security, a few security guards, the receptionist, and his secretary.The security guards were limping and appeared to have been taught a lesson b
Dylan pushed open the door to his office and invited Fox. The crowd watched as the lady in red strutted in and their boss maintained a gentlemanly smiling face with a good temper the whole while.Dylan was considered one of the better-tempered Yorks, though he would still be stern at work, leaving the impression on his employees that he was a serious man. Everyone would privately agree that he was similar to Zachary.Although they had never seen Zachary in the flesh, they had heard he was a cold and emotionless person. Remembering that Dylan said the woman in red was here to collect a debt, they thought it was reasonable. Even their boss had to greet his debtor with a smile.They wondered how much he owed her. Once the door to his office closed, the rest filed into the elevator.“There aren’t any problems with our company, right?” Ford asked the receptionist, Rita. He was only in charge of security and thought she would have a better idea of the company’s internal situation.Rita
Fox sat up and took a few sips of her water before gesturing as if she was about to splash it on Dylan. He just looked at her with a smile. In the end, she put down the cup.“Stop being such a kiss-ass. When are you going to return my stuff to me?”Dylan sat down opposite her and repeated himself. “I really don’t remember where I put it. I haven’t found it yet. When I do, I promise I’ll return it to you myself. You just have to leave me your address and contact number. Why don’t I buy you a new one? Tell me where you got it.“A new one wouldn’t be mine. I don’t want it. Like I said, this method of yours to get my number is terrible. It’s pretty much stealing. No, in fact, it is. You are stealing.”Dylan smiled neutrally. “Ms. Fox, you seem to have forgotten how it ended up in my hands. If you hadn’t been disrespectful first, I wouldn’t have responded in kind.”Fox had nothing to retort with. The two just glared at each other.After a few minutes, Fox relented. “It was my fault, D
“Dylan. Mr. Dylan. Mr. Dylan York. Tell me what I have to do to make you return it to me. Don’t tell me you don’t remember where you put it. That’s just an excuse and I don’t believe a single word of it.”Dylan looked the same as ever as he said, “There’s no use even if you call me daddy. Believe it or not, I really can’t remember. If you want to approach Serenity, go ahead. She is easygoing and affable. She likes girls like you the most. Oh, yeah. She has some self-defense skills, too. When you’re free, you can even spar with her.“On second thought, she is pregnant right now. You’d better wait until she’s given birth before you try that. Even if you ask her to ask me for it, it’ll be of no use if I can’t find it. Worst comes to worst, I’ll just upset her and get a beating from Zachary.”Dylan shrugged it off, making Fox so angry she stomped her feet. Still, she could not do anything to him. That thing was not at his home. She had already turned his house upside down. She seriously
