Serenity took Zachary’s call. “I’m not a hot water bottle!” The first thing that came out of Zachary’s mouth was to correct what Serenity called him. Serenity chuckled. “I’m feeling cold now, so I thought about you. You’re warmer than a hot water bottle.” Zachary’s voice was gruff. “So, you wouldn’t think of me if you weren’t feeling cold?” Serenity gladly admitted to that fact. “I probably would’ve gone right to bed if I weren’t cold. Oh, I’ll send you a goodnight gif.” Zachary was speechless. “Are you done with your work? You should carry on if you aren’t. I’m going to bed.” Serenity was about to hang up the call. “Serenity.” Zachary huskily asked, “Are your DNA test results with Mrs. Stone out yet?” “The results are out. Mrs. Stone is my aunt. We’re related by blood.” Although his heart sank, Zachary did not show it in his face or tone. “Congratulations on finding your family.” “Thank you.” She only had her sister for fifteen years. Now that an aunt sudde

Zachary, on the other hand, became more addicted and fell deeper in love with Serenity.Ring ring ring...Zachary’s phone rang again.He thought it was Serenity, but then he saw the caller ID and it was Duncan.“Duncan.”Zachary leaned back on the black swivel chair and asked indifferently, “Why are you calling me so late at night?”“There’s something important I need to tell you. Do you know that your wife has an aunt? It’s Mrs. Stone. It turns out that the sister Mrs. Stone has been looking for is your mother-in-law.”Duncan was not as gossipy as Josh, but he loved to watch drama and gloat on the sidelines.He just felt that he should relay this news to his best friend.“Stone Group and York Corporation have always been at odds. Clive and you will never appear at the same place together. The relationship between the two of you is completely frozen... I just thought of something.”Duncan muttered in hindsight, “When you treated Clive to that meal back then, did you already k

“Zachary, maybe Serenity didn’t tell you because she didn’t want you to worry?”Duncan felt that he made a mistake and quickly offered an explanation.However, Zachary hung up the phone.Duncan said to himself, “Damn it. What am I supposed to do if the couple gets into a quarrel because of this?”Once Zachary cared about a person, he would want the other party to put him first. In simpler terms, he was overbearing.His domineering nature would sometimes let people feel like he cared about them, but other times, it made people feel suffocated as if they could not breathe.What was worse was that Zachary would feel like he was in the wrong. For example, he felt like he fell in love with Serenity, so he was willing to do everything for her. However, Serenity was independent and would not tell him everything for him to help her with. Thus, Zachary would feel that Serenity did not trust him and did not treat him as family.Duncan called Zachary again, but it went to the mailbox becau

After witnessing her sister and Hank getting to know each other, falling in love, and then ending up in such an ugly divorce, Serenity felt that it was better to rely on herself than on others. Even if he was someone she shared a bed with, she could not be completely dependent on him.That was because the person who shared her bed might become a person who shared someone else’s bed at any time.“Are you calling me narrow-minded?”Zachary’s voice was low and chilly, like the weather in this cold winter month.He wanted to know everything about her because he cared about her.However, she did not take the initiative to tell him, saying that he was narrow-minded and that he got angry over trivial matters.Was this trivial? Even someone like Duncan knew about it, but Zachary only found out because Duncan told him.If Duncan did not tell him and he did not ask, she might have never told him.He cared about her, but she was not touched. Instead, she felt that it was useless to tell h

A few minutes later, Serenity sat up from the bed and pondered. She then slid out of bed, began to pack her household goods, and took them back to her room.She would not sleep in his bed anymore.She angrily moved back to her room to sleep.Zachary was likewise still sulking.He received the message from Serenity and read it, but he did not reply. Instead, he deleted it instantly.He only had one thought in his mind, and that was how Serenity accused him of being narrow-minded and did not treat him as a family.Putting the phone on the desk, Zachary got up and paced back and forth in the office, incredibly annoyed.In the end, he went and made himself a cup of coffee.After drinking the coffee, he forced himself to calm down and got back to work.He intended to work through the night.Serenity was so angry that she tossed and turned, failing to fall asleep, but after an hour or so, she stopped being angry. It was not the first time he acted like this. If she got mad at him e

“Don’t worry, Ms. Hunt. Take your time with breakfast. Your sister just called me and said that she sent Sonny to the store. Ms. Sox is already there. She told us to head directly to the store later. There’s no need to drop by her new place.”Serenity sighed in relief and sat down at the dining table.Mrs. Lane prepared sandwiches for her today with all kinds of fillings, as well as a pot of black coffee.Black coffee...Serenity took out her phone and photographed the pot of coffee, then sent it to the petty man.Unsurprisingly, Zachary did not reply to her.Serenity grumbled.“Are the sandwiches not good, Ms. Hunt?”Mrs. Lane heard Serenity grumble and thought the sandwiches she made were lousy. She asked, “What kind of sandwiches do you fancy? Tell me and I’ll make them for you tomorrow.”“I’m not a picky eater, Mrs. Lane. I like all kinds of sandwiches.“You sit down too. Let’s talk while we eat.”With Zachary not at home, Mrs. Lane was a lot more comfortable.Although

“Zachary doesn’t fully treat me as a family either. What right does he have to demand me to be completely open with him when he can’t do the same for me? He’s being hypocritical. He has to have the final say in everything. When things don’t go his way, he gets angry and says I don’t think of him as family.“I got mad too and said that he was self-centered and narrow-minded, so he hung up on me. When I sent him a message, he refused to reply to me. He’s always like this. He stops replying to my messages every time he’s angry, and he doesn’t pick up my calls either. He’s like a petty woman.”Mrs. Lane was speechless.Zachary was indeed like that. Serenity’s analysis was spot on.Zachary was raised as a successor since he was young. All his younger brothers revolved around him.When he took the helm of York Corporation, whether it was Old Mrs. York or his parents, they relented and let him in complete charge of the company. In York Corporation, his word was law.His brothers and eve

Seeing that Mrs. Lane was mopping the floor, Serenity did not think much of it and went off by herself.Mrs. Lane sent her off at the door and watched her enter the elevator before returning to the house. She hurriedly got her cell phone to call Zachary.At first, he did not answer.Mrs. Lane called him three more times, but he still did not pick up.She sent him a message.[Mr. Zachary, the missus took some medicine.]In less than a minute, Zachary called Mrs. Lane.“What medicine did Seren take?”Zachary spoke in a voice that still sounded the same as usual, low and cold, but Mrs. Lane was familiar with him and could hear the nervousness in his tone.“She said she didn’t sleep well and had a headache and sore eyes, so she took a painkiller.”Zachary suddenly stopped talking.He got the fright of his life!Mrs. Lane was vague.He thought Serenity took some pills and attempted suicide.Well, he was obviously far off the mark.Serenity had a cheerful personality.

Tati had made it clear that she did not love Austin, and purely admired him. Why was Isabella looking at her like that? Austin’s fiancée would never be her. If it were, Austin would have treated her differently. So who on earth was Austin’s fiancee?Why would Old Mrs. York choose someone from Windermere for him?Austin came to be a chef before pursuing his future wife. Which city in Windermere was his fiancée from? Was it Satbury?If it were Satbury, which elite daughter could it be?There were many elite daughters in Satbury, but not many were superior to the O’Connor daughters. Tati recalled Austin’s special treatment toward Isabella. A thought crossed her mind, ‘Is Isabella the lady Old Mrs. York has chosen for Austin?’“Tati, I want to discuss something work-related with you.”Isabella thought Tati remained silent because of Austin’s news. Therefore, she used work as an excuse and brought Tati to the study on the second floor. After closing the door, Isabella poured

Louis and Phillip were not the only ones worried. Even Delphine and the rest were anxious too. While they did think it was inappropriate for someone of Austin’s status to be their chef, the food he made was truly delicious. They had already gotten used to his cooking. If he were to leave, they would have to adjust their tastes to another chef’s cooking. Tati had even more concerns. Isabella admired capable people. Austin was highly skilled in cooking and had a head for business too. Moreover, he was a young master of a wealthy family. That made him more suitable for Isabella. Would Isabella be attracted?Isabella probably could feel how differently he treated her, right?“Did you chase Austin away, Isa? Why didn’t he come back with you?”Louis continued asking questions. He was worried that Isabella might have fired Austin. Not only could Austin make delicious food, but he would also play with the boys. Louis and Phillip really liked Austin. They thought he was fun,

Austin knew her question was related to Tati.He was aware of Tati’s admiration for him.Nevertheless, he recognized Tati’s feelings as pure admiration. On the contrary, Tati must have noticed that he treated Isabella differently. She probably told Isabella about it in private, but Isabella simply did not have plans for marriage due to her heavy responsibilities. Austin said with certainty, “No. Although I haven’t succeeded in pursuing her, I’ve set my heart on her. She’s my fiancée, and she’ll become my wife in the future. The York family doesn’t allow divorce unless our wives cheat on us. However, that definitely won’t happen.“Every woman Nana chose has a good character and values.“I’ll be loyal to my marriage and family. I’ll only love my only wife for my entire life. How outstanding other women are is none of my business.”Austin did not want to be like Dylan. He would rather spend more time inventing recipes. Isabella said with a hint of regret, “Okay.”She had to te

Isabella could not find anyone who suited her tastes in Satbury. She knew the city was filled with talented young men, but none made her heart race. Their goal was usually the O’Connor family business. The men knew Louis was young and that Isabella was the head of the family. If they could win her heart, it would be equivalent to conquering the O’Connor family. From there, they could gradually swallow the family whole. Isabella dared not date anyone. She was scared of falling into someone’s trap. She would not let her feelings show, even if she had a crush on someone.“Many people are aiming for my family’s status and wealth. I dare not date or get married for fear that I’d destroy the family once and for all. Those people will go to great lengths for money and power.”Isabella was even wary of young masters of wealthy families, let alone ambitious men from inferior backgrounds. “I know Nana is doing this for us. She had chosen our wives. Our parents didn’t need to worry

Isabella knew it would not be that quick. By the time Louis could take over, which would be twenty years later, she would already be close to fifty years old. If she got married and had children within the next two years, her children could inherit her businesses a few years after Louis took over the family business. That way, she could finally retire for good. “Austin, you’re aware that I sent someone to Wiltspoon to investigate your background, right? There was no information about you being a young master of the Yorks. Was it because you didn’t want me to know about it?”“No.”Austin said honestly, “I wasn’t aware. Zachary was the one who told me that you investigated me twice. You couldn’t find the connection between me and York Corporation because Zachary covered it up for me.“He knew that I was here to cook and improve my skills. If you knew I was a young master of the wealthiest family in Wiltspoon, you might not have hired me as your private chef. If so, I wouldn’t be

Isabella smiled and said, “If the person taking over the family business doesn’t have true ability, they won’t be able to bear the responsibility. In this way, they can still prove themselves. Of course, starting a business from scratch and inheriting from a generation or two back is different.“For those who are supported by their family, no matter how many achievements they have, others will say they relied on their family’s support. If they fail, people will call them useless and a waste, and that family wealth will never last more than three generations. They’ll just wait for your family to go bankrupt.“So, without real ability, no one can take over the family business.”Austin was silent for a moment before responding, “What you say is true. My eldest brother, for example, is very capable. Although we could all take on the responsibility, none of us is as steady as he is. He’s the real anchor of our family. With him around, we don’t have to worry even if the sky falls.“Becau

Oh, right. Ruth mentioned that the York family elders were very open-minded.Open-minded elders and a good family culture were what cultivated outstanding children. It was little wonder that Austin was exceptional and bore such an impressive demeanor. It turned out that he was from a prestigious family.“Isa, what's wrong with Austin? Can we start eating now?”Louis and Phillip were completely confused. All they knew was Austin was not from a simple family, and that he was very capable. Even Ruth had shaken hands with him.The two boys were too young to understand anything besides that. They were just hungry and wanted to eat. It was cold, and the barbecue was very comforting to eat hot off the grill.Isabella smiled and said, “All you two think about is eating. Well, the meat and vegetables are all cooked, so we can start eating now.”As she spoke, she grabbed some meat, shrimp, and vegetables for her baby brothers. Then, she began eating, and everyone followed suit.Ruth too

After Austin left, Isabella asked her friend, "Ruth, do you know the Wiltspoon Yorks? Is Austin really one of them?"“You’ve never been to Wiltspoon, Isabella, and it's so far away. Plus your family doesn't have business there, so it's normal you don't know much about them. I was there for half a month for a trip, and my in-laws have business there.“Last time, when I went on a business trip with my husband, we heard a lot of gossip and rumors related to the York family.“In Wiltspoon, there are several prominent families, but the wealthiest and most powerful is the York family. York Corporation holds the same status in the business world of Wiltspoon as your family does here.”Ruth was introducing the York family to everyone, giving them a preliminary understanding of the family. After that explanation, Ruth added, “The York family has a great family culture to boot. The men in their family are all very loyal. Once they marry, they will remain loyal to their wife and family for

“Your family? As in, Wiltspoon’s York Corporation? Is that your family’s company?” Ruth asked in shock. She looked at Austin, disbelief written all over her face. The members of the O'Connor family were all watching the two of them.“Yeah, that’s my family's company. Our ancestors were good enough to build a strong foundation my elder brother now manages.”“Where do you fall in the order of your siblings and cousins?” Ruth had once traveled to Wiltspoon with her husband for a business trip and had spent half a month there, so she knew a bit about the most prominent family in Wiltspoon. She had also been deeply impressed by the good values the Yorks had. She had heard that the York sons were all exceptional, talented individuals, and indeed, Austin was exceptionally handsome—so much so that it could even incur a god’s jealousy. But how did a young master of the York family end up working as a chef for the O'Connor family?Though York Corporation was based in Wiltspoon, its fina
