The girl’s expression changed, and Serenity added, “By then, you will also be a person who has been imprisoned. Yanny’s mom was imprisoned because of a wrongful accusation, but you will be imprisoned because of what you did. I did just witness you threatening him.” The girl felt afraid all of a sudden, and she stomped away in a huff. After all, she was only a spoiled nine-year-old kid. Serenity turned toward Yannick and ruffled his hair. “Were you going to agree to her demands if I didn’t pass by just now?” Yannick kept quiet as he agreed with Serenity’s words. “You mustn’t forget that you still have me no matter what. I know you want to protect your mother, but you’re still young. So, you can just tell me when you run into any trouble. I’ll figure it out for you, and we’ll protect your mother together. Okay?” Yannick's eyes reddened and he nodded after a pause. Serenity looked at the time and it was almost time for her appointment with the principal.“Alright, go back to
Yara was taken aback when she heard that Caden was going to enroll in first grade. “Caden wants to be in the same class as Cynthia, right? Why don’t we transfer Cynthia to a different school? Solaria’s Foreign Language Elementary School is the best elementary school in the world…” Yara rambled on in hopes that Serenity would enroll Cynthia and Caden in that school, and that her son could attend the school together. “We’ll move to the neighborhood near Foreign Language Elementary School by then. It’ll be easier for the kids to go to school, and we can take care of them all the time. Don’t you think so, Mrs. Valor?” Serenity looked at Yara with a smile on her face. She knew what Yara had on her mind. Solaria’s Foreign Language Elementary School was a school exclusively for aristocrats. Many prestigious families had enrolled their children there. The tuition fee was several hundred thousand dollars a year. The houses in the neighborhood nearby were even more expensive. Yara was ob
In the memorial hall of Valor Residence, Jackson looked at his father’s portrait while he confessed bitterly, “I’m sorry, Dad. I thought that I would never forgive that woman in my life, and I had wanted her to atone for her sins with her death. However, I love Serenity too much. I don’t want her to suffer. Please forgive me, Dad.” Jackson lit a candle and stayed for a while before he left. After he returned to the main house, Elliot told him that Serenity had brought Micah, Caden, and Cynthia for a small vacation. “Alright,” Jackson said without asking any more questions. Serenity and he had an agreement previously, that she shouldn’t let him know if she wanted to bring the kids to meet that woman. Jackson understood everything once she said that they were going for a short vacation. It was the best for them. Meanwhile, in the kindergarten, Frederick was the only one sitting aside with a music score in his hands during the children’s playtime. Everyone was having fun togethe
"I understand, I understand!" Mary said, her voice choked with emotion. "This is already good enough. I... I wouldn't dare to hope that Jackson would forgive me or visit me. I know that letting me off is already the biggest compromise he can make."Edward patted his wife's shoulder to comfort her. "Now now, cheer up. Serenity brought the children to see you today; this is a happy occasion!""Yes, yes, it's a happy occasion!" Mary quickly said, regaining her spirits. "I'm going to make lots of delicious food for the children and take them to fun places in Latveria!"The three children had different personalities. Jacqueline was very close to Mary so she kept pestering Mary non-stop, while Micah and Caden, the two boys, remained relatively quiet in the living room.To be more precise, Micah was silently observing Caden, while Caden was completely spacing out, seemingly indifferent to everything that was happening around him.Serenity knew that Caden was different from ordinary child
Well... he's definitely behaving! Serenity couldn't help but think with a smile.Because Jacqueline saw Caden make a video call, she also wanted to video call Daddy and Fred."Have you forgotten? This trip is our little secret. Didn't we agree not to tell Daddy about it? How about this? Mommy will call Mr. Knot and ask him to get Fred on the phone with you," Serenity said.She had agreed with the children to not tell Jack about their visit to Latveria. She had also not told the children that Mary was their grandmother yet. She would tell them when they're older.After all, it was a long, complicated story that could not be explained with a few simple words.And so, a moment later, Jacqueline could be seen holding Serenity's phone, chatting excitedly with Fred.Serenity asked her eldest son, "What about you? Do you want to make a video call with anyone? Um, anyone except for Daddy."The little boy shook his head. He didn't have anyone he particularly wanted to contact. He didn't
Lisa has been enjoying herself these days. She had visited many interesting places in San Marco with her parents. She felt as if she was on a holiday. She had even made a travel itinerary for her parents.If it weren't because she was pregnant, so she couldn't get too tired, she would have taken her parents to visit all the major tourist attractions in San Marco.She had also become a regular visitor in Terry's office. No one stopped her anymore. She could go in and out of Terry's office unimpeded now."Miss Quest, Mr. White is having a meeting. He said that if you're here, you could wait for him in his office," his secretary told Lisa.As soon as Lisa put down her bag in Terry’s office, her phone rang. It was a call from Gale Porter.Speaking of which, she hadn't talked to Gale on the phone for a while now, but before she came to San Marco to look for Terry, she had had a short text conversation with Gale, and he had even wished her good luck."Gale! I'm so surprised to get a ca
"What do you think?" he asked, unabashed."Well... yes, we met on a blind date, but we're just friends. It's true that we tried to get to know each other with the intention of getting serious, but... we've never done anything intimate..." Her voice became smaller and smaller under his gaze.'Come on, what the hell are you feeling guilty about?' Lisa bit her lip and grumbled inwardly.She was single at the time, so there was nothing wrong with her going on a blind date!Besides, she and Gale didn't do anything out of bounds."Really? You didn't even hold hands?" Terry asked casually."Uh-huh," Lisa responded.The next moment, his breath brushed against her cheek, and his handsome face magnified in front of her."Terry, what... what are you doing?" she asked weakly.His fingers gently stroked her jaw. "And you've never been this close?""...Uh-huh." She blushed slightly.His lips moved towards her ear. She could feel his warm breath on her ear.Lisa felt her ear getting hotte
"......" Ugh, fine, pretend she never said anything.Terry spent the rest of the morning discussing with Lisa about what kind of distance to maintain with her favorite idols.In the afternoon, Lisa continued to stay in Terry's office, eating snacks and drinking tea, having a great time.The senior executives and secretaries who were in Terry's office frequently were used to her by now. They were all very respectful towards Lisa. Anyone could see that she would most likely become Mrs. White one day.Finally, people eventually stopped coming to the office that afternoon. Lisa suddenly stopped what she was doing, her body tensing up. She looked down at her abdomen in disbelief."What's wrong?" Terry immediately noticed her abnormality.Even while he was doing work, he would glance at her from time to time, keeping an eye on her.Lisa raised her head to look at Terry and blinked a few times. She saw that Terry was putting down the pen in his hand and getting up to come check on he
