Chapter 1103
Hank gave Jessica a sideways glance and joked, “Jessica, did the sun rise from the west today?“I went to Liberty’s diner early in the morning to have breakfast and accompany Sonny. When I saw you, I was afraid that you’d quarrel with me and embarrass me in front of Liberty. I didn’t expect that you’d be willing to let me bring Sonny home to stay for a few days.“You treated Lucas badly, so I thought you hated children.”Jessica hated Lucas since he broke her cosmetics. However, he was Chelsea’s son. As long as Chelsea and Hank did not break off their sibling relationship, they would still come over and meet up.Jessica hated the boy, but the only thing she could do when Lucas came over was to lock their bedroom so that Lucas could not get in.Lucas would make a mess of the place, and his grandparents would not care. They were happy to let the little brat do whatever he wanted.Jessica knew that Chelsea’s three children were raised by her parents-in-law. They treated their three
Chapter 1104
“It’s conducive to our family’s happiness. I’m not a petty person. When all’s said and done, you’re Sonny’s father and have to pay for his child support, so you have to maintain your bond with him. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste if he isn’t close to you despite him growing up with your money.“We’ve been together for so long, but I haven’t gotten pregnant yet. Maybe I’ll be able to conceive if you bring Sonny over. There are many people who remain childless after years of marriage, but after they adopt a child, they have one of their own after a year or two.”Hank was overjoyed to hear this and praised her. “Jessica, I was right about you. You’re a wise and sensible wife and mother.”“What woman doesn’t think about making a good life for herself when she marries her husband. I was forced to become a shrew because your family bullied me. Your sister, especially, is a troublemaker.“She stirred up your marriage with Liberty, and now she wants to stir us up too. Hank, I’m not trying to s
Chapter 1105
Jessica wisely dropped the topic.No matter how terrible Chelsea was, she was still Hank’s sister.Hank could not really cut ties with his sister.In any case, Jessica made her stand. Her purpose was to let Hank and her get closer to Sonny, and to break down Liberty’s defenses. As time passed, Liberty would not object if they wanted to take Sonny out to play.Then, she would be able to complete the task given to her by that unknown lady.She was not being ruthless. Her family’s lives were on the line. All she had to do was bring Sonny to a crowded place so that the other party had the opportunity to strike. Sonny would be fine as long as he behaved well.If anyone was to blame, it was Serenity.That person was targeting Sonny because Serenity offended her.The woman also said that she was just using Sonny as bait to lure Serenity out. The person she wanted to deal with was Serenity....Spring Blossoms always opened earlier than others. Camryn had already opened the store bef

Camryn maintained her smile and answered, “I also sell flowerpots, fertilizers for flowers, potting soil, and so on. What do you need, sir?”Callum pursed his lips. The woman in front of him spoke with a constant smile, but she gave off a wispy feeling. However, her words were sharp.“I’ll just take a look.”Callum walked past Camryn and entered the store to wander around.After making a round, he turned to find that Camryn was following him not far behind.Why was she following him when she was pretending to be blind? Was she revealing herself?“Sir?” Camryn called out to Callum when she did not hear his subtle footsteps anymore.Callum felt uncertain again when he saw her expression. Was she blind or just pretending to be blind?He decided to test her.After looking around the store, his gaze finally locked on a potted cactus. He took the pot and put it on the counter, asking, “I want this one. How much is it?”Camryn turned toward the direction of his voice and walked towa

Callum took out his phone but saw that there were no cashless payment options on the counter. He asked, “Your store doesn’t accept payments via e-wallets?”Camryn said honestly, “I can’t see, so I didn’t set up cashless payments. I don’t have an e-wallet account.”She took out her phone and showed it to Callum. It was an old-fashioned model that sported a keypad. She could only make phone calls and send messages with the phone.Camryn could not see, so she could only call others by pressing the keypad. She could not use a smartphone either.“I posted a sign at the door saying that the store only accepts cash. If you don’t have cash and if my two shop assistants are present, you can pay her via Apple Pay and she’ll pay me back in cash.”Callum hummed and took out a one hundred dollar bill from his wallet, handing it to Camryn.He did not tell her that it was a hundred-dollar bill.Then, he stared at her and watched as she touched the money. After feeling it several times, she wen

Zachary hummed in response. When he saw Callum holding a cactus, he asked, “Did you buy that?” “Yeah, I went to Spring Blossoms before work.”“Spring Blossoms?” Zachary found the name a little familiar. He seemed to have heard it from his beloved wife before.Callum did not hide it and said honestly, “It’s Ms. Camryn’s flower store. The name of the store is so unoriginal.”Zachary said faintly, “Flowers blossom during spring.”Callum choked.“Since you went all the way there, why didn’t you buy more potted plants?”Callum pouted and said, “I didn’t go there to buy flowers. I bought this cactus because I had no choice.”He could not just leave without buying anything when he caused her to prick her hand with the thorns.“Wouldn’t a ball cactus look nicer if you place it next to your desktop? Normal cacti have longer thorns. Be careful not to get pricked.”Zachary made a few passing remarks and entered the office building. He left his brother behind and went upstairs first.C
Chapter 1109
Camryn was very surprised to hear that.He was from York Corporation.Was he an employee of York Corporation or someone from the York family?Camryn could not tell.She thought, ‘I’ll ask Serenity who that number belongs to the next time she comes to my store to buy flowers.’Serenity did not know Callum had begun to approach Camryn. After Zachary sent her to the bookstore, she chatted with Jasmine for a while before her old classmates she invited over to help weave the handicrafts arrived. Serenity told them to weave a small trinket according to her instructions.She first had to make sure that their skills were not rusty, then she took a lot of materials from the small storeroom and distributed them to everyone to take home and weave.After sending them off, Serenity turned and was just about to go back into the store when Elisa arrived in her car. She watched Elisa park in front of the bookstore and get out of the car.“Seren.”Elisa walked over to Serenity with a smile. “W
Chapter 1110
Whether it was Serenity’s hometown or the neighboring villages, the young worked in the cities while only the older generation stayed behind. The elderly could not do much farm work, so the fields were deserted. Since there was someone rich who wanted to rent the fields from them, they would not refuse the opportunity to earn money.Serenity and Jasmine were very pleased to hear this.After Elisa finished updating them about the investment project, she looked at Serenity and hesitated a moment before saying, “That was the good news. Time for the bad news. Seren, I also got someone to inquire about what your relatives were up to while talking about contracting the land.”“Everything they’ve done has been bad news. Just say it, Elisa. I’m prepared to hear whatever it is they’re doing recently. At most, they hauled away the bricks, sand, and gravel and sold them.”“The trucks of materials you sent to rebuild the house were still there. They were stacked properly untouched. Your relati
