Zachary hummed and said, “Don’t order takeout for lunch. I’ll send food over to your side. Let’s eat together.”Serenity was alone in the store, and Zachary could not bear to let his beloved wife eat takeout. He had already ordered food from Wiltspoon Hotel and a bodyguard picked it up. Then, he would bring the food over during lunch break so the couple could have lunch in the bookstore together.“Okay, I won’t order takeout. You get back to work. School is almost out, so I’ll be busy too.”Serenity hung up the phone after speaking.On the other side, Zachary looked at his phone and complained, “She didn’t even give me the chance to say bye.”Serenity began to work while Zachary finished his work and left the office.The bodyguard just came back from getting the insulated lunch boxes from the hotel. He rushed out to receive Zachary when he saw the latter come downstairs.A few minutes later, Zachary’s car drove out of York Corporation.He left ten minutes before lunch break, so

Serenity wiped the small dining table clean.Her heart warmed when she looked at the dishes. No matter the time, he always prepared her favorites.“What did Callum say to you? What trouble did he get into?” Zachary asked curiously as he filled his beloved wife’s plate with food.“He misunderstood Camryn and did something out of line, so he wanted me to help him apologize. I told him that he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.”Serenity did not go into detail because she felt that it was Callum and Camryn’s private matter. Her brother-in-law told her about it because he trusted her, so she could not tell anyone else about it. She did not tell Zachary lest Camryn felt embarrassed to see him in the future.Even though she did not go into detail, Zachary was a man who had also forced a kiss on Serenity before, so he quickly guessed what happened.He wisely did not continue to inquire.While the couple had lunch, Duncan went to the hospital after work. He stood outside t

Mrs. Lewis thought about it and decided to see Liberty before visiting her friend.With that in mind, she went to Liberty’s ward.When the York bodyguards saw Mrs. Lewis coming, one of them went into the ward to tell Liberty.The bodyguards did not stop Mrs. Lewis when she approached. They helped her knock on the door and opened the door for her.“Mrs. Lewis.”Mrs. Lane and another maid were dining in the small lounge. When they saw Mrs. Lewis come in, they quickly put down their lunch boxes, stood up, and greeted her respectfully.“Oh, you’re all eating? Don’t mind me and continue eating. I just came to see Liberty.”Mrs. Lewis left the house after eating.Mrs. Lane still escorted her into the ward.Liberty finished eating, but Sonny ate slowly. His mother fed him while saying, “Sonny, you can’t eat so slowly in the future. You’ll have to eat by yourself when you go to preschool.”“I know, Mom.”Seeing Mrs. Lewis come in, Liberty passed the bowl to her son to let him eat by

Mrs. Lewis saw that there were no freshly delivered flower bouquets or fruit baskets in the ward and completely believed Liberty’s words.She thought, ‘Did that boy really not come to see Liberty? But he admitted that he was here to visit her.’However, Liberty said that she did not see him.There was only one possibility—her son came but did not enter the ward.That was why Liberty did not see him.In the end, the problem lay with her son.“He was already here at the hospital and on the same floor anyway. Why didn’t he come see you?” Mrs. Lewis asked, pretending to be ignorant.Liberty smiled and said nothing.Duncan and her paths crossed frequently, but most of the time, it was because Duncan going to her store for breakfast.He helped her a lot, but that was only because she was Zachary’s sister-in-law.Mrs. Lewis looked at Sonny, who was eating by himself, and said, “I won’t bother you anymore, Liberty. You should continue feeding Sonny. I have to visit my friend now.”“

Serenity looked at the message her sister sent and was silent for a moment before replying, [Liberty, have you ever thought that Zachary isn’t the reason Mr. Lewis is good to you?]Liberty asked, [What other reasons would he have? He only helped me because of Zachary. When I joined his company, he hired me because of Zachary. I heard him call Zachary.][I originally wanted to wait until you recovered and got discharged from the hospital before talking to you about this, but I feel wronged on your behalf at the insinuations that Mrs. Lewis threw at you.]Serenity sent the message and called Liberty.Liberty swiftly answered the phone.“Tell me, Seren. What is it that I don’t know? Why did Mrs. Lewis say that?”“Liberty, you were unconscious for one night when you were injured. It was Duncan who watched over you all night outside the ICU. He was also the one who saw you in tears and called the doctor. He didn’t sleep at all that night. You were still weak when you woke up, so you d

“Seren!”Liberty said seriously, “I’ve never had such thoughts. I really don’t have any interest in Mr. Lewis, and Mrs. Lewis has already chosen a wife for him. Ms. Harmon is a very good lady.“Even if I want to remarry, I won’t marry Mr. Lewis. We’re worlds apart. Mrs. Lewis will never choose me to be her daughter-in-law. If I get together with Mr. Lewis, I’ll still have to endure my mother-in-law making things hard for me again.“Seren, I finally managed to jump out of the Brown family. You can’t expect me to jump into the Lewis family now, right?“My former mother-in-law was a horrible person, but she doesn’t hurt others. The ladies from affluent families are not that simple. Do you think everyone is like your mother-in-law? It’s hard enough being the missus of a wealthy family. There’s such a large gap between Mr. Lewis and I, and Mrs. Lewis doesn’t like me either. Who knows what she’ll do to me if I become her daughter-in-law?”Liberty’s head was crystal clear. She did not be

“I’m sorry, Liberty.”Serenity knew that she was wrong to keep her sister in the dark.Liberty was right. They were sisters who relied on each other for many years. She could not hide the truth from her sister, even if she thought that it was for her sister’s own good.Many people thought their actions were for the good of someone else’s sake, but was that really true? Had they ever asked what the other party thought?“I know you’re worried about me, so I don’t blame you. Just don’t hide anything from me again. You don’t have to worry about this for me. I can handle it.”“I believe in you, Liberty. You got this!”“Yes.”Liberty added, “Go back to work. I want to let Sonny take a nap.”“I’ll come see you after the students finish class in the afternoon.”“Okay.”After the call, Liberty looked at her son.Sonny was also looking at her.“Naptime, Sonny.”Liberty placed her phone back in the drawer and motioned for her son to lean forward. She wanted to pick her son up, but he

She had not heard from her family since resolving the problem of the house left behind by her parents.When they talked about their hometown, it was just her sister talking about the progress of her vegetable farms.Serenity predicted that their vegetable farms would be ready for planting in early June. She planned to start planting a batch of spinach, cabbages, lettuce, eggplants, pepper, and so on.Serenity knew more about what vegetables to grow than Elisa and Jasmine, so she decided on what vegetables to plant and how to manage them.Jasmine and Elisa were responsible for the business side of things and signing orders.“Let them in.”Liberty did not want to have any contact with her family, but since they were her elders who came all the way here, she told the bodyguard to let them in.It was Noah who came with their grandparents.The old couple walked in front while Noah followed behind with a bag of fruits.Sonny was still asleep, so Liberty went to the small lounge.
