Chapter 1366
Now, it was time for Lily to make her move. The maid served tea. Lily picked up a cup and elegantly took a sip. Serenity opened one of the boxes and tried a dessert. As the food was good, she invited everybody to sample. Zachary was not keen on anything sweet. He would only try it if the food was made by Serenity, so he would not bother with anyone else’s. Duncan would prefer not to eat sweet food either. Nevertheless, he would still taste the food out of courtesy. Now that he tried Lily’s dessert, Duncan thought his senses were not overwhelmed by the sweetness, so he took another. Seeing that Duncan grabbed the dessert twice, Lily reflected joy in her eyes. Although Lily said she was here to meet Serenity, everybody, excluding William and Sonny, knew Lily was here for Duncan. Still, Serenity could feel Lily’s intention to be good friends. Zachary and Duncan were best friends, and Lily liked Duncan. If Lily could win Duncan’s heart and be a couple with him, there w

“Do you want to go horse riding?” Zachary asked while behind the wheel.Determined to have a date with his wife, he did not allow his chauffeur to come along. He did the driving instead. The security convoy kept a good distance from the couple. “I don’t know how to ride.” Serenity was honest. Zachary smiled. “I can teach you. It’s the perfect weather to ride since it’s neither warm nor cold. I’ll take you to the family’s stable.” “Your family has a horse stable too, huh?” “My family is your family. Don’t be a stranger to me. We have a lot of horses in the stable. A lot of people who love riding would frequent our stable.” The equestrian facility had brought in quite the revenue. Those who had done equestrian were loaded. “Dylan is responsible for the operation. He lives and breathes horses. He’s doing good in the equestrian business. We can expect a sizable profit every quarter.” Serenity remembered Dylan as a smiling little sunshine. The boy was tan, probably from

Serenity had no idea what to feel when she got the results back. Despite engaging in intimate activities for a while, she had not been knocked up. Now that Serenity was in the hospital, she intended to do a full medical examination. Zachary did not want to as he believed they were fit and great in health. He simply believed that their time had not come yet. “Since we’re here, we might as well go for a physical. What if there’s something wrong with us? Early detection is early prevention.” Serenity tried to convince Zachary to have the full medical examination with her. “I’m healthy. I always have a full check-up every six months, so I would know if there’s something wrong with me. You’re fine too. You rarely catch a cold. How can you have an issue? We don’t need an examination. It’s just not our time yet.” Zachary dragged Serenity to leave. He was not in the mood for a physical. Zachary firmly believed he was fine! So was Serenity! “Many people look healthy, but som

The bodyguards drew close and stared at Serenity. “Missus.” Drawing a few deep breaths, Serenity tried to get a grip on herself. “I’m fine.” She lowered her head and looked at the urine test results scrunched in her hands. Serenity folded the piece of paper and slipped it into her pocket before walking away. The security team followed her out of the hospital and into the hospital’s parking lot. While walking, the bodyguards prayed that Mr. Zachary was waiting for the missus in the car. Mr. Zachary had a bad temper, but he was all bark and no bite every time he fought with the missus. Mr. Zachary would never abandon the missus. Alas, the bodyguards were in for a disappointment. They marched behind Serenity to the parking lot, but Zachary’s car was nowhere in sight. Only two vehicles belonging to the bodyguards were still there. Serenity cocked her head back and asked, “Where’s your car key?” With a bodyguard fishing out his car key, Serenity put her hand out. The bod

“Sir, ma’am, Mr. Zachary is back.” “What is he doing here?” Liam asked skeptically, “Did Serenity come back with him?” “Only two cars returned. Mr. Zachary drove one himself, and the other was the security vehicle. It appears the missus isn’t in the car.” “Oh.” Liam then instructed the maid, “Tell the kitchen to cook extra servings. Zachary should at least stay for dinner.” The maid wanted to laugh. This was Mr. Zachary’s home. It was normal that Mr. Zachary could dine at his own place. Yet, Mr. Liam acted as though Mr. Zachary was the guest trying to freeload a meal. The maid gave the couple some space. Liam turned to his beloved wife. “Have you figured out a way to checkmate? I’m going if you’re stuck.” “Let me mull this over. Don’t bother me. I will come up with a way. What did Eunice say? Is Zack back? Oh, he has time to come home?” “Who knows? He rarely comes back to the manor now that he has a wife. He usually just comes back for a brief talk. It’s like th

“Your nana mentioned that whoever brings a daughter to the family will get a five-hundred-million-dollar reward from the family fund. Your mom and I will give you something too. Well, we won’t give more than your nana. We’ll add five hundred million dollars to the pot too.” Liam and his wife had personal assets amounting to several hundred million dollars. The extra five hundred million dollars out of their pockets was not a small amount to them. “No one has gotten the five hundred million dollars. Zack, maybe you and Seren will get lucky.” Tania gleefully chimed in. “I’ll give half of my jewelry to my granddaughter if you give us one.” Zachary looked at his parents. He waited until his parents had a happy moment to themselves before murmuring, “The pee result was negative.” “Negative?” Liam turned his attention to his wife whose smile froze. Tania uttered, “It’s okay. You’re still young. You’ve only been married for six months. You still haven’t had your wedding recept

Zachary answered, “I didn’t say anything harsh. I just left. Why would she feel hurt and cry?” The thought of Serenity shedding tears broke his heart. “How would you feel if Serenity leaves you alone in the hospital?” Tania asked her son. Her son had no game when it came to relationships. It was no wonder Grandma May made Zachary marry Serenity to repay her kindness. With that temper of Zachary’s, any woman would give him the snub. Zachary pursed his lips and said, “It’s not like I don’t have legs. I know the way. I know my way home even if she doesn’t leave with me.” Tania was at a loss for words. “I said we’re fine in health, and there’s no need for a physical. She said that I’m scared of doctors and that I looked like I’ve seen a ghost.” Zachary whined, “She won’t trust my word. She doesn’t trust me enough. She can’t get pregnant just because we want her to. I’ve not been married to her for long. We can get a physical when we can’t get pregnant in a decade or so.” Ta

Zachary could not pull a longer face. “Don’t you wish to have grandchildren too?” Tania said, “Yes, we do, but we never want to rush Serenity, so don’t put the blame on us. We never pressure Serenity to give us a grandchild.” “Seren puts the burden on herself.” Zachary knew Serenity was feeling it when she talked about getting a physical.He believed Serenity was stressed from trying to get pregnant. “You should be telling Seren that the child will come when the time comes if she’s feeling the pressure. It’ll be harder for her to get pregnant while sitting under a lot of pressure. Tell her not to think too much about it. You have not been together for long. I think the medical examination is necessary after two to three years of trying without hearing any good news.” “That’s what I’m saying. I don’t think we need a check-up since we’re both fine and healthy. She’s just under a lot of stress. I told her that I’ll take her on a trip after Josh and Jasmine’s engagement party.”
