Mr. Daniels knew that Jenna was too proud to take a fancy to just any guy. Plus, Zachary was a married man. Hence, Mr. Daniels did not think much about bringing his daughter along to meet with Zachary. Zachary was not keen on clients being accompanied by young women during any business talk. Since Zachary was married now, Mr. Daniels thought the man might have eased up a little. But… Mr. Daniels sighed. Kevin had no idea about Jenna’s crush on Zachary. He smiled and said, “All the men in my family are the same. You can say that it runs in the family. That’s it for us once we find true love. It takes fabulous luck to find true love in a big world. We must have done a lot of good in another life to find the woman of our dreams. That’s why we cherish them.“Zack loves his wife. They have come a long way to be where they are today. Their relationship is stronger now. They value each other and set a good example for those of us who are younger than Zack.” Kevin had no expectations
The child Zachary was carrying must be Serenity’s nephew. It was apparent that Zachary was fond of the little man. He loved his wife and her family too. A lot went through Mr. Daniels’s mind as Zachary brought Serenity into the room. “Seren, this is Mr. Daniels. Mr. Daniels, this is my wife, Serenity.” Zachary led Serenity to the table and introduced Serenity and Mr. Daniels to each other. Snapping out of his thoughts, Mr. Daniels rose to his feet and shook Serenity’s hand with a smile. He then glanced at the bodyguards who were carrying flowers and shopping bags. At a closer distance, Mr. Daniels got a good look at the brand on the shopping bags. The brand did men’s wear. Mr. Daniels thought to himself that Mrs. York must have purchased clothes for Mr. York. Mr. York was simply showing off the stuff his wife bought him. “Serenity.” It was Kevin’s turn to greet Serenity after her handshake with Mr. Daniels. He got up and put his hand out to take Sonny from Zachary
Cutting Zachary off, Mr. Daniels solemnly uttered, “We have agreed on the project, and I’m happy to work with your company. I am a man of my word. I won’t change my mind about the partnership, and I hope you will do the same. “I take what Jenna has done seriously, and I will deal with her when I get back. I promise Jenna will not show herself in your presence during our ongoing partnership. I will keep an eye on her and try to stop her from disturbing and harassing you, Mr. York.” Mr. Daniels could not guarantee that he could stop his daughter, but he would discourage her whenever possible. He had raised his daughter with love and care. Mr. Daniels and his wife were proud of their outstanding daughter. He did not want his daughter to blow the rest of her life because of her feelings for a married man. Zachary sullenly said, “I trust you, Mr. Daniels. I will leave someone else to follow up on the project. I hope you mean what you said and stop Ms. Daniels from harassing me. Ms.
Serenity withdrew her arm from her husband’s grasp. Zachary was not pleased. She whispered, “Kevin and Sonny are here.” Zachary looked at Kevin and his nephew. Kevin scooped a spoonful of food for Sonny. The little man had a problem with using his utensils and was oblivious to the matter between the adults. “Sonny, are you able to get it? How about I feed you?” Acting as if nothing had happened, Kevin asked the little man without looking at Serenity and Zachary who were across the room. Kevin knew that he was a third wheel in the room. Zachary could moan that he was a third wheel, but Kevin could do the same and call Zachary out for his constant public display of affection. “I can do it, Uncle Kevin.” Sonny turned down Kevin’s offer to feed him. Serenity picked a cupcake for Sonny and put it on his plate. “Have a cupcake, Sonny.” “Thank you, Aunt Ser.” Serenity smiled and said, “Get Uncle Kevin to get any food you want.” She then turned to the man beside her
Mr. Daniels gave his daughter a dry towel and left those words before turning on his heel to leave. Jenna took the towel and watched her father leave, knowing that something was up. Maybe Zachary canceled the partnership proposal because of the little tickle on his palm? The Daniels Group’s proposal offered significant profits to both companies. It was a win-win project, and a lot of companies had extended their interest in participating. Zachary was a businessman. Surely, he would not turn his back on a big payoff. Jenna climbed out of the swimming pool and entered the changing room for a change of clothes before taking off.She stepped into the living room and saw her father sitting on the sofa. His face was flushed with brewing anger. There was a bouquet and a few shopping bags in front of her father. “Dad, who gave you those? Did you buy them for me?” Jenna said while approaching, “I’m going to tell Mom if they are gifts for you.” She followed her father around wi
“Don’t talk about Mrs. York’s non-pregnancy. They had not been married for a year. It’s normal that they want to enjoy each other’s company for now.“Do you know how we got you? I’ve met countless doctors and put on countless medications before we got you in our life. Jenna, mind your language. It was a struggle for me and your mother to conceive a child.” Jenna was speechless. “Zachary will never give you a shot. You won’t stand a chance even if he wasn’t married. Do you think it’s easy to win his heart? The heiress of the Stones was really into him back then, and like you, she comes from wealth and power.” Jenna pursed her lips and murmured under her breath, “But she has nothing on me. Ms. Stone is a headstrong brute. She doesn’t have a good reputation in Wiltspoon. Sure, we are both born of privilege, but there’s nothing else she could beat me in.” Mr. Daniels was at a loss for words. He took a deep breath and then another while reminding himself that this was his daught
With a brooding look, Jenna said nothing. She had feelings for a man for the first time, and the relationship ended before it could begin.Jenna could not get over it. Why should Serenity get a fine man like Zachary? … Back in York corporation, Serenity tucked her nephew in and turned on the air-conditioner in the resting room of the CEO’s office before asking her husband, “Do you think Mr. Daniels would be able to sort the matter out? Ms. Daniels is his only child. He must adore her.” Zachary went past Sonny and squeezed his way next to Serenity. While resting the back of his head against his arm, Zachary gave Serenity’s cheek a squeeze. “Are you jealous, Seren?” She rarely got jealous. In fact, Serenity had not displayed her jealous side since they got their marriage license. It was said that Zachary had a lot of admirers, but Zachary only heard about it from Josh. Apparently, a lot of women had the hots for him, but none dared to come forth with their feelings ex
Zachary kissed Serenity on the face and tenderly uttered, “Don’t worry, honey. Your husband will always love you. You must be tired after taking care of Sonny for hours. Get some rest.” Given that Zachary would be busy in the afternoon, Serenity stayed with him for a nap. Half an hour after she was asleep, Zachary got up to work. The presence of his wife here, even though she was in dreamland, put Zachary in a good mood. He could focus more on his work. Compared to the silence in the CEO’s office, Callum was tending to Kevin in the COO’s office. After attending a business engagement, Kevin came back to the headquarters with Zachary under the excuse that he had not shown his face in the office building for a while. People might just forget he existed if he were to keep up with the disappearing act. “Kevin, you’ve been here for an hour. Just tell me what’s going on. You know there are no secrets between us.” Callum kept looking at the time and said to his cousin who had sat
