Chapter 1508
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

River heaved a sigh of relief.Thankfully, he was only twenty-three.Anyway, he had a few older brothers acting as his shield. One of them was twenty-six and still single. If Grandma May were to pressure someone into getting married, that said brother would be the one first.“Serenity, Ms. Sox, you don’t have to send me. I’ll bring Nana to visit the Stones.”River opened the car door. After Grandma May got into the car, he turned around and bade goodbye to Serenity and Jasmine.Serenity and Jasmine stood at the entrance of the bookstore and watched River and Grandma May leave.After River’s car was some distance away, Jasmine said, “River keeps such a low profile.”River’s car brand was ordinary. He bought the car for $101,000 to $102,000. Compared to the cars that Zachary and the rest had, River’s vehicle was just like a bicycle.Serenity responded, “River is about to start working, but he hasn’t proven himself. He can’t overindulge in his life, so he keeps a low profile. When

Serenity was amused by Jasmine’s statement.“You’ll actually feel jealous of your child.”Jasmine said in a self-righteous manner, “Josh is my man. How can I not feel jealous when other people grab his attention, even if they’re my children? My children will be pampered by their other halves in the future, so they can’t share Josh’s love with me.” “Perhaps Mr. Bucham is worried that he’ll be jealous of his children.”Serenity laughed and said, “My husband is definitely going to be jealous of my child. He’s an overbearing person. On the outside, he looks magnanimous, but he’s actually narrow-minded and overbearing.”“Seren, I feel that you’re now publicly displaying your affection with Zachary.”“I don’t have to publicly display our affection. You and Mr. Bucham are lovey-dovey. Jas, you’ll be staying at the store today, won’t you?”“Mhm.”Jasmine then asked, “Do you have anything to take care of? You can carry on with your work. I can watch over the store.”“I’ll head to Spri
Chapter 1514
Serenity called Callum. When Callum picked up the call, she said, “Callum, Camryn has changed her number. I went to her flower shop twice this morning but didn’t see her. Have you seen her?”Callum answered, “I’m waiting for her at Beans and Cream to send me flowers.”He had no idea what Camryn’s new number was as the shop assistant refused to tell him. He had no choice but to recall the number for Spring Blossoms. Then, he got the store manager of Beans and Cream to phone Spring Blossoms to have Camryn send the flowers over.He would only be able to see her by doing so.“Is Camryn going there alone?”“Another worker is sending her over by an electric scooter. Thank you, Serenity.” Although Serenity had not been able to see Camryn and speak up for Callum in front of her, she had visited Spring Blossoms twice in the morning. This touched Callum and made him feel that Serenity was concerned about his matter.“Don’t mention it. We’re family. When you see her, don’t frighten her ag

It so happened that Elisa and Remy could get along well. This made Mrs. Stone feel ambivalent about it.The message that Mrs. Stone had Zachary convey to Remy did not seem to work.Remy still often came over as a neighbor to visit the Stones. He even purposely came during mealtimes. Obviously, he wanted to sponge food off the Stones.After everyone entered the house, Elisa poured a glass of water for Grandma May. Remy helped to bring some fruit and dessert over.Grandma May noticed that Remy had become familiar with the surroundings of the Stones’ house.What a cunning kid.He even left Mrs. Stone feeling helpless.After all, he had not confessed his love to Elisa and it was normal for him to have familiarized himself with the surroundings of the Stones’ house considering that he came over frequently.What was more, Remy was very shameless. He would turn a blind eye to Mrs. Stone’s grim expression and Mr. Stone’s glower. Anyhow, he would brazenly come over as long as Elisa wa
