“It makes us feel like failures when none of our disciples are getting married. It’s embarrassing to say that the ones we taught cannot get a wife or husband.”The old gentlemen nodded in agreement. Sugar quickly grabbed Elisa’s arm and said, “Let’s go, Elisa. I’m tired of listening to them bugging me to get married.“I’m only twenty-six, not thirty-six or forty-six. Do they have to bug me? They’re even older than me. Why didn’t they get a wife when we were urging them?”Elisa exited the house with her. As they walked, she smiled. “You’ll get used to it.”The girls left. The old bunch also said they wished to go on a stroll without Audrey and Darrell’s company. Audrey arranged for Clive and Remy to accompany them instead. Remy was a young master of the Johnsons, who were in-laws to Doc. He could definitely engage in conversations with the old gentlemen. Meanwhile, at Wiltspoon Hotel, Dylan leaned against his chair after eating and called Zachary. When Zachary picked up,
Dylan was speechless. “Zachary…”“Since she doesn’t want to meet you, it’s useless to find her. You should wait until she comes to you. Give her back her stuff. The more shameless you are, the less likely she’ll fall for you.“Be an honest person and a responsible man. Don’t cheat or deceive her. Serenity almost wanted a divorce because I lied to her back then. “Haven’t you learned anything from my experience?”Zachary refused to help Dylan. He wished Dylan would take a long time to court his future wife. Who asked him to choose the difficult path instead?Grandma May’s choice of women would never go wrong. She even gave Dylan hints multiple times. He was too dumb to decipher her words. He was asked several times if he would regret his choice. He was also told that he should not beg her for help if he were to change his mind. However, Dylan did not take the hint. Who could he blame?Zachary did not tell Dylan that Imogen and Chameleon Fox were most likely the same person.
Dylan immediately sat up straight. He said, “I don’t regret it.“It’s fine, Zachary. I’ll think of something myself.”Dylan thought of how he had rejected his nana’s arrangement. He feared being laughed at by his brothers and getting scolded by Grandma May. Therefore, he decided not to get Zachary’s help and figure something out by himself.“Remember to return the item to the lady when you find her. Otherwise, it will only make her impression of you worse.“You should attract her with sincerity and honesty. That way, you will have a happy future with her.”Zachary shared his experience with Dylan as someone who had gone through it before. Dylan replied, “I know, Zachary. I will give it back to her when she looks for me next time. Are you guys coming back to the city now? I hear cars in the background.”“Yeah, we’re on the way back to the city.”“I shall not take up more of your time. I’ll return to the company and get some rest. I have two meetings in the evening.”“Take care
“Dylan’s the only one who didn’t listen. Since he likes taking the long way, let him do it until he starts questioning life.”Grandma May sounded happy to see Dylan suffer.Consequences would befall those who refused to take their elders’ advice. Many of her grandsons were obedient. Having one of them acting stubborn occasionally spiced things up.Zachary and Serenity exchanged glances. He silently held her hand. He was glad that he eventually gave in and obeyed his nana’s arrangement to marry Serenity. Otherwise, who knew what she would have done to make him regret his decision?“Nana.”There were only three of them in the car, besides the driver. Serenity wanted to confirm something. “Is Ms. Doyle the girl Dylan likes?”Grandma May smiled. “Why are you asking when you’ve guessed it? Don’t tell anyone about it. Dylan is a little dense. I told him not to regret his choice or ask for our help if he ever decided to pursue Imogen again, yet he didn’t take the hint.“He dese
“You’ll live a long life, Nana. Since Doc is here, he can check on you. If there are any issues, we can get him to prescribe some medicine for you.”They were the closest people to Grandma May. Although they knew death was inevitable, Zachary felt anxious whenever he thought of her eventual departure. They were depressed for a long time after their grandfather’s passing. Whenever the York lads gathered, their eyes would turn red if their gramps was mentioned. Grandma May said, “I’m fine now. Our family doctor visits and does regular checkups on me from time to time. Dr. Carden also examined me the last time she came. There are no problems. I’ve been paying extra attention to my health.“Anyway, I can still help to take care of your baby. I hope I get a great-granddaughter. I don’t want to meet your gramps in heaven without hugging a great-granddaughter or taking her to school. “Your gramps couldn’t meet his great-granddaughter. I have to look at her in his stead, so I can tell
Serenity lowered the volume of her phone before sending a message to Liberty, telling her that they had found Mr. Patrick. Technically, it was Mr. Patrick who found them. She also told Liberty to continue texting instead of calling because Grandma May was resting in the car and did not want to wake the old lady. When Liberty received the message, she immediately replied: [Where has Mr. Patrick been all these years? Are you sure he’s Tiara’s assistant? Could it be an imposter?]Serenity: [Mr. Patrick was rescued by the legendary doctor and his friends. He’s been living with them while hiding his identity all these years. There are some issues with his health as well. He has been looking for our mom and Aunt Audrey all this while. Mr. Patrick came to look for Aunt Audrey after only confirming her identity recently.]Although Aunt Audrey could not remember much, she still had vague memories of Mr. Patrick. Besides, Doc was accompanying him. Even if they did not trust Mr. Patrick, th
If her daughter were to be a Fisher, it would mean that Duncan was marrying into the Fisher family. Their sons could take on Duncan’s last name, but not their daughters. Liberty did not know if Duncan could accept that. Anyway, those concerns were for the future. She simply had to think about how to expand her company and invest in other industries to earn more money at the moment. She wanted to become a recognized businesswoman in Jensburg. Liberty did not want to rely on Hayden all the time. She could only be truly strong when she was capable of doing everything herself. After Serenity and Liberty’s conversation ended, Serenity napped while resting her weight on Zachary. Liberty also placed her phone on the bedside table and lay down again. She had partitioned a small room in her office for breaks. The room had a four-foot-wide bed, a small closet, a bedside table, and an en suite. That way, she had a mini private lounge and could rest in her office during afternoo
Sometimes, Duncan was worried that he would turn resentful from missing Liberty. During those times, he would tell himself she was having it worse. She had to leave her young son with Serenity and did not even have much time to call him. “Half an hour’s rest is enough for me. I was guessing you’re already awake and wanted to call you before you started working again.”“Mmhmm, I’ll work after having my coffee. What’s wrong?”Liberty added, “Miss me?”Duncan replied affectionately, “I miss you. I miss you every day and every moment. I think I’m going insane.”He heard Liberty laughing. His work efficiency would definitely increase by a whole level after hearing her laugh. “You just got back not long ago.”“I want to be with you twenty-four hours a day. It’s been quite some time. A day feels like years to me. How many years do you think has passed for me?”Liberty smiled. “Probably ten or twenty?”“That’s right. I miss you so much.”“I miss you too. Our company will be close
