Chapter 1633
“Mm, you two can decide. Let me know if there’s anything I can help with.” Jasmine felt she did not help much aside from contributing some money. She felt sorry. Serenity and Elisa said simultaneously, “You can just focus on caring for the baby.”Jasmine said, “I can work even if I’m pregnant. Many people still go to work even though they’re pregnant and only go on maternity leave closer to their due dates.”“That’s what other people do. You’re different from them. You should just stay at home and be a ‘national treasure’,” Serenity smiled and added, “With how nervous Mr. Bucham is, he probably won’t allow it if you want to visit the store.”Jasmine was speechless. After the three women chatted for some time, Josh knocked on the door. He entered the room while holding a drink placed on a tray. It was a supplement drink for Jasmine to replenish her nutrients. “Serenity, Zachary is here to pick you up. He’s downstairs.”Josh told Serenity as he walked over. He placed the

“No.“I just told Dad and Mom about the pregnancy. They’re elated too.” While Jasmine was chatting with her friends, Josh remembered that he had not informed his mother-in-law yet. He quickly called her to break the good news to her. The Sox family was happy after learning about the pregnancy. “Telling Dad and Mom is enough. Let’s not reveal it to the entire world for now. There’s a high risk of unexpected situations occurring during the early stages of pregnancy. It’s not suitable to spread the news too early. Revealing our pregnancy when it becomes stable after the first trimester isn’t too late anyway.”Josh nodded repeatedly. He also heard that families would rarely reveal pregnancies during the first three months because signs of miscarriage would occur easily in the early stages of pregnancy. If the pregnancy were announced too early, no one would feel good if a miscarriage were to happen. While Josh and Jasmine were discussing the baby’s matters in the room, Serenity a

“You guys were going to start an office in your hometown. How did it go? Did you guys manage to rent an office?”Zachary changed the topic. “We managed to rent an office and hired several managers. They’ll officially start working next Monday.”Zachary praised her, “You and Elisa are beginners in business, but you two are very efficient.”Serenity smiled and said, “It’s all Elisa’s work. She does things hurriedly, but she loves to push the responsibilities to me and let go after having a rough idea.”“I’ve said before that Elisa doesn’t have enough patience. That’s her personality. She’s lucky to have met such honest partners as you and Ms. Sox. Otherwise, she won’t even know if she’s being scammed.”Grandma May had a sharp eye for people. Back when Elisa liked Zachary, Grandma May had already told him that she was not suited to be the York family’s missus. However, he would not like Elisa even without Grandma May’s remarks. After all, he and Clive were like enemies. How c
Chapter 1636
After being husband and wife for so long, Serenity understood the meaning behind his gaze. She glanced at the driver and the bodyguard on the passenger seat quickly. She saw that they did not turn their heads. The driver was focused on driving while the bodyguard was on his phone. It was how the bodyguard protected himself.If he were watching videos or reading novels on his phone, he could divert his attention and not notice what his boss and the missus were talking about. Serenity gave Zachary a quick kiss. Only then did he let her off the hook. He stressed in a low voice, “I want to receive your love letter to me before I head to work tomorrow.”“Of course. Definitely.”Serenity promised him with a grin. “Remy came to pick Elisa up too. Actually, they do get along with each other well.”Zachary hummed. “Remy might leave Wiltspoon for some time.”“Why? Is he going on a business trip?”Serenity could not resist asking because Remy liked Elisa. “Did you forget? Mrs. Y
Chapter 1637
With a love rival present, Remy was even more reluctant to leave Wiltspoon. He feared Elisa would become Andrew’s girlfriend when he returned after leaving for some time. “You do have to go back and accompany your family,” Elisa said considerately. “Elisa, are you willing to go back with me?” Remy asked. He wished to bring her back to let his elders meet her. Although the elders knew he had someone he liked in Wiltspoon and had seen Elisa’s pictures, they had not met her in person yet. A person as carefree as Elisa blushed because of Remy’s words. She said, “We aren’t officially together yet. It’s still too early to meet our parents.”“As for my mom… I can go with you to meet your parents anytime if you manage to get past my mom.”Disappointment clouded Remy’s eyes, but his fighting spirit reignited quickly. With a gentle smile, he said, “I hope I don’t have to wait too long for that day to come. I’ll definitely clear Mrs. Stone’s hurdle.”If he could not get past Mrs. Sto

Mrs. Stone laughed and said, “This is good news. She got lucky right after her wedding.” “The entire Bucham family is excited. Mr. Bucham is super nervous. He’s even treating Jasmine like a national treasure.”Mrs. Stone smiled. “That’s natural. Josh is the first to marry in his generation, so the baby in Jasmine’s belly will be the first grandchild. It’s a given that the Buchams will treat this seriously.”The first child always brought a lot of anticipation and priority.“How’s Seren?” Mrs. Stone thought about her niece, who was not pregnant yet. Jasmine had gotten pregnant during her honeymoon. Mrs. Stone was worried her niece would be upset. Elisa recalled Serenity’s reaction. She said, “She looked normal. You don’t have to worry about her, Mom. She has an open mind now and is going with the flow. She’s no longer in a rush to get pregnant.“Besides, we’re so busy. She doesn’t have the time and effort to think about having a child.”In the past, Serenity only had to watch o

“Mom, I’m at our family’s hotel now. I’m in private room number 23.”Elisa had no choice but to tell her mother that she was at the hotel already.After a moment of silence, Mrs. Stone asked, “Are you eating with Mr. Johnson?”“Yes,” Elisa answered honestly. Her family disapproved of her being together with Remy, but she did not listen to them. She felt happy when she was with him. Happiness was the most important aspect of living.If being with Remy made her happy, why would she not date him?“We just arrived and haven’t ordered anything. Why don’t Remy and I go over to accompany you and Mr. Reading to have dinner?”Mrs. Stone pressed her lips together. She said, “I’ll go over to you.”She hung up right after.Elisa held her phone and looked toward Remy. She said, “My mom wants to treat Mr. Reading to a meal. She wants us to accompany them. She’ll be coming over soon, so let’s not order first.”Elisa knew what signature dishes her family’s hotel had. Remy smiled. “Okay.
Chapter 1640
Elisa had feelings for Remy. As she mentioned, she was not in a rush to agree to date him because she wanted to experience being pursued and cherished by someone. Elisa smiled and said, “Mr. Reading might not fancy me anyway. It’s all my mom’s doing. If I don’t cooperate, my mom’s actions will be useless. I can still decide who I love.”Andrew was Zachary’s cousin. Although she had never interacted with Andrew before, he must have known that she used to be obsessed with Zachary. Even if she had already given up on Zachary and let go of her feelings for him, could Andrew really not mind?Her mother was simply wasting efforts. She would not cooperate, and Andrew would not fall for it. Elisa’s words were like a tranquilizer. They put Remy’s mind at ease. He considered himself lucky that he had targeted Elisa early and deliberately approached her. He had made a strong first impression, occupied the most advantageous position, and developed feelings for her. If he had just mad
