While Sonny went to class, Serenity went to the hospital accompanied by Zachary.She asked Zachary to stop when they passed by Spring Blossoms. She got out of the car and went into the store to buy a bouquet of flowers.Camryn was not in the store.“Is your boss making a delivery?” Serenity asked the store assistant.“Our boss went to get the goods early in the morning and will probably only be back at around ten o’clock. Do you have anything important to ask her, Mrs. York? I can ask her to call you when she comes back.”Serenity hummed. “Okay, tell her to ring me when she’s back.”The assistant agreed and saw Serenity out of the store.Serenity held the bouquet and got into the car, saying to Zachary while closing the door, “Camryn isn’t in the store. She went out first thing in the morning to get some goods and won’t be back until around ten o’clock. Tell Callum that I might not be able to leave at ten. I can only come over if Jasmine is at the store.”Zachary said, “Don’t w
Upon hearing what Serenity said, he could not help but think, ‘As expected of Zachary’s wife.’The husband and wife said almost the exact same thing.“Serenity, I can only say that I won’t give up as long as your sister doesn’t remarry.”Duncan spoke solemnly.There was nothing else Serenity could say.Putting aside everything else, she held quite an admiration for Duncan.The three of them entered the in-patient building together. When they arrived at Liberty’s ward, they saw Hank standing by the door early in the morning.This time, Hank came alone.Olivia and Chelsea did not tag along.Hank was also holding a bouquet and an insulated lunch box.His parents asked him to do this.Serenity was a little surprised when she saw Hank. Did her grandparents not stop him from coming out?However, Olivia and Chelsea did not come, so it was still better than before.Hank was a walking contradiction now and could easily be driven away.“Hank Brown, are you here to disturb Liberty’s
Zachary shot a look at the bodyguard. The bodyguard got the hint.Duncan was the last person to enter the ward.Hank noticed that Duncan too had bought flowers and that the latter was holding an insulated box. Obviously, Duncan was trying to pursue Liberty! Hank immediately felt bitter about it.“Liberty, Liberty…”After Hank called Liberty twice, Noah covered his nose and mouth to stop him from screaming.Noah was young. Besides, he had spent a short period of time with some hooligans, so he was ruthless. He would not show Hank mercy when dealing with him. Considering that Hank was used to sitting in the office, he was no match for the youngster who just turned eighteen. It was only until Noah dragged Hank far away while covering his nose and mouth that Noah let go of Hank.“Are you trying to suffocate me?” Hank criticized Noah. “Don’t be rude. Technically speaking, you need to acknowledge me as your brother-in-law.”“Pah. Brother-in-law? What gives you the right to be my b
Serenity watched Duncan walk out of the ward.After that, she turned her eyes to her husband. Zachary looked very calm as though Duncan’s reaction was within his expectation.Zachary saw Duncan off.“Seren, your store must be busy. You should return to your store.”“Liberty, let me accompany you.”“I don’t need you to. I can walk around on my own. I’m fine. If it hadn’t been for the doctor who insisted on having me stay in the hospital, I would’ve wanted to be discharged right now.”She missed All You Can Eat.“Listen to the doctor.”Serenity said, “Stay in the hospital for a few more days. Once you’re discharged, you can’t return to the store and work straight away. You need to have a good rest at home.”“I’ve been lying on the hospital bed for nearly half a month. If I continue to do so after being discharged, my body will fall apart. Once I’m out, I’ll keep an eye on the breakfast place and help collect money without doing things on my own, okay? Don’t worry. It’s my body.
Serenity asked Zachary, “Callum took a day off, and Josh might not return to the office today.”Zachary laughed. “I can have the secretary postpone the meeting. Let’s go. I’ll send you to your store. As for your car, I’ll ask Harry to drive it there straight away.”Serenity did not turn him down.“I’ll pick you up in the evening. There’s a social gathering at night, and I’d like you to go with me.”“Okay.”Serenity readily agreed.Only after Zachary sent Serenity back to her bookstore did he rush to his office and start his busy day of work.Jasmine came to the store today.Serenity mocked her playfully. “Why don’t you stay at home and prepare for the wedding? Your other half is desperate. I thought you might not come to work today.”“There’s nothing much I need to do. Plus, it’s boring to stay at home, so I came.”Jasmine looked radiant. Serenity felt that her best friend had become much prettier.Serenity stretched out her hand and pinched Jasmine’s face while complimentin
Jasmine smiled. She called River by his name so that he would not feel awkward.Deep down, she thought that Serenity’s brothers-in-law had different temperaments. Despite that, all of them looked attractive and photogenic.They were even more handsome than the male lead in the novel she had been reading every day.“Nana, you brought a lot of things. What are they?” Serenity placed the bags on the counter and unpacked them.“Nothing much. There are plenty of supplements at home. I’ve had a lot of them, and I can’t take too many. I’m worried that overconsuming supplements may backfire, so I sent some over. Young people like you work every day and feel exhausted. You need to improve your health.”Nana added, “Also, there’s some seafood. Your mother-in-law asked me to bring it for you as she knows you love seafood most.”“Now, Zachary and I are staying in the hilltop villa. There’s nothing we’re short of.”However, Tania remembered her favorite food and sent over so much food. Ser
Deep down, River was hoping that Zack would not assign the most unmanageable company to him. York Corporation was huge and had many subsidiary companies. There were quite a lot of small companies under its subsidiary companies too. Some were not doing well, whereas some were about to close down.When Zachary’s younger brothers first entered the workforce, it was usually either Grandma May or Zachary who assigned tasks to them. Sometimes, Zachary’s brothers would directly join York Corporation and work at the grassroots.Sometimes, they would be trained by being sent to those companies that were not doing well or about to close down.These kinds of companies were the most challenging.If his brothers could revive a small company and expand its territory, it would mean that they were capable of doing business. After they passed the preliminary training, Zachary would get them to handle some great subsidiary companies.At last, he would arrange for his brothers to take over certa
After Grandma May explained, Serenity felt slightly better.Otherwise, Serenity would think that she did not fulfill her duty as Mrs. York.“Seren, Jas, you can carry on with your work. I’ll bring along River to hand out the invitation cards to a few families.”After sitting for a while, Grandma May rose to her feet and was about to leave.Serenity and Jasmine got up as well.“Nana, do you want to come over for lunch at noon?”“No. I’m treating Mr. Queen to a meal at noon. He’s now in our hotel, and I had Kevin keep him company,” said Grandma May as she looked at Serenity with a playful gaze.Serenity got the point and answered with a smile, “Alright. Do pay us a visit whenever you’re free, Nana. It’s best that you come over and stay with Zachary and I. It’s convenient.”When she uttered the word “convenient”, she shot a look at Old Mrs. York.Grandma May understood tacitly and replied, “After River’s birthday, I’ll move to your place. If Zack doesn’t agree, you need to speak
