Grandma May said unconcernedly, “Why should I be worried about Kevin? He’s already panicking. Before I came here, I received a call from him asking me for a favor, and I helped him. I’ve prepared the cabbages, but am I supposed to slice and boil them before feeding the pigs?”Zachary’s face turned dark.At the mention of cabbages, Grandma May hinted that her grandsons resembled pigs.Had Grandma May seen good-looking pigs like her grandsons?She always described them as pigs.Grandma May yawned and rose to her feet. “I’m sleepy. I’ll go to bed now. You should sleep early.”“Good night, Nana.”Grandma May was ready to head upstairs to rest. After taking a few steps forward, she paused to turn around and ask Zachary, “After Duncan was discharged from the hospital, does he need Liberty to look after him? Duncan is just stubborn. He’s in love with Liberty, yet he’s pretending as though he’s able to get over her.“If he remains stubborn and continues to fake it, I’ll matchmake Liber
Serenity took her phone to send Zachary a message. Just then, her phone rang. She looked at the incoming call, only to see “Love Rival #1 - Jenna Daniels”.Jenna came to look for Serenity and even asked for Serenity’s contact number. Serenity was ready to deal with her love rival. She was not afraid of being contacted by Jenna, so she gave Jenna her number. Jenna was even worried that Serenity gave her a fake number, so she called Serenity on the spot to confirm.Serenity labeled Jenna’s number. Preempting that she might have many more love rivals to come, she numbered Jenna as Love Rival #1.She wondered what the last number of her love rival would be.Serenity picked up Jenna’s call.“Ms. Hunt.”“Ms. Daniels, are you planning to ask me out for a coffee?” Serenity asked directly.Jenna choked before she replied with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely find time to treat you to a coffee since I owe you one.”“I’ll be waiting.”“Ms. Hunt, you sound like you’ve just gotten up
Serenity chuckled. “Coincidentally, I dislike sharing my man with others. Ms. Daniels, if you want to have Zachary, you can look for him. If Zachary relays this to me, I’ll let you have him, and you can immediately become Zachary’s wife.”Jenna replied, “Serenity, Zachary is out of your league.”“I’m the one who married Zachary. I’m legally his wife. Whether or not I deserve to have him is our private matter. As an outsider, you don’t need to worry about it.”Jenna was determined to be the other woman and meddle in Zachary and Serenity’s marriage. She had put aside her conscience. How shameless. “Ms. Daniels, you’re in no position to tell me whether Zachary and I are a good match. I wonder who on earth you are to Zachary. Even Zachary’s nana and parents have never said such things to me. What gives you the right to do so, Ms. Daniels?”Jenna was at a loss for words.Not knowing how to refute Serenity’s claim, Jenna hung up the call. After Jenna hung up, Serenity shouted, “You
Serenity instantly knew the cause.She guessed she had been schemed against, and it was her man who saved her. No wonder she woke up with an ache in her waist.Instead of discussing this matter with Grandma May, Serenity chose to have her breakfast. She planned to ask Zachary about it when he returned.Meanwhile, a rare guest, Andrew, visited the CEO’s office at York Corporation.Zachary put down his pen. He lifted the cup of coffee from his desk with one hand while taking out his phone from his pocket with the other. Just as he wanted to phone his beloved wife, Andrew knocked on the door and came in.When Zachary caught sight of Andrew, he chose not to phone his beloved wife for the time being. He sipped his coffee, watching Andrew walk up to him. “Zack.”Andrew greeted Zachary before sitting opposite him.“What would you like to drink?” Zachary asked his cousin.“I’m not thirsty. If I am, I’ll fetch some water on my own.”Since Andrew was his cousin, Zachary did not have t
“Not only did Mrs. Stone ask me for help several times, but Clive also used a carrot-and-stick approach. The two of them seemed to have decided to take advantage of me. Do I look like I can be easily taken advantage of?”Andrew was bewildered. The Stones were stubborn, but were they not worried that Elisa would choose not to get married if they separated Elisa from Remy?Elisa was not the sort who would allow her parents to meddle in her marriage.Previously, none of her family members approved of her going after Zachary. She was stubborn and refused to listen to them.Well, Elisa’s stubborn streak ran in the family; her family was stubborn too.They were all so stubborn that they would not compromise.Zachary said helplessly, “I didn’t manage to persuade Aunt Audrey. Even your sister-in-law has persuaded her countless times but to no avail. What’s your decision? Have you agreed to help Aunt Audrey?” Andrew responded, “I haven’t. This is troubling me, so I came to vent my probl
If Remy heard this, his thought would be, ‘Zachary, I’ve always treated you well. Why are you doing this to me?’Zachary, ‘It’s only when competition exists that you’ll feel stressed and cherish my wife’s cousin more. As Elisa’s relative, I’m giving you a test.’Remy, ‘It’s so hard to get a wife in this day and age!’“Something is wrong with Julian?”Andrew seemed to have discovered something new, which aroused his curiosity. He asked Zachary, “Zack, what’s wrong with Julian? Is he impotent? No wonder he’s still single although he’s around the same age as Duncan. I thought he hadn’t met the love of his life. It turns out that something is wrong with him.” Julian had always been the first to get scoops. Little did he expect that he would one day become the main subject of the scoop.“He’s not impotent. He’s said to be callous. It’s only when he meets a girl who is his cup of tea that he’ll be a real man. Otherwise, he’s no different from a eunuch. It’s not known whether this is t
“Let me talk to Julian now.”Knowing that Zachary was busy, Andrew stood up and planned to take his leave after pouring out his problems.“Why are you so desperate? Julian might not be at home. You should ask Josh before heading to the Buchams’ place so you won’t go there for nothing.” At the thought of how mysterious Julian was, Andrew hummed in acknowledgment. He said, “I have no choice but to be desperate because I’m extremely worried that Mrs. Stone will matchmake me with Elisa. She can scheme against someone without a trace. Only after getting into her trap will one come to their senses. By then, it’ll be difficult to get out of the trap.”Zachary laughed. “If Aunt Audrey plots against you, it means you’re outstanding. Everyone in Wiltspoon knows that she loves Elisa very much. She’s only interested in outstanding men.”“Zack, are you praising me or gloating at my misfortune?”“Both.”Andrew’s face darkened before he said, “Let me ask Josh. Because of Mrs. Stone’s doing
Serenity felt Zachary did not take action because he had benefited from it. It was also because that old pervert was not targeting her. Otherwise, with Zachary’s personality, he would have made that pervert suffer in secret. Zachary seemed to have sensed what she was thinking. He added, “Although he wasn’t targeting you, I won’t let such a shameless pervert off easily. Don’t worry. Your husband will stand up for you.” “I thought it was Ms. Daniels’s doing. She called me and said bluntly that she fell in love with you at first sight. You have such good luck with women, Zachary. You have pursuers before and even after you’re married, and they’re all young and beautiful.”In the end, Serenity’s words sounded sour. Zachary picked up on that and asked her, “Are you jealous?”“I’m not. To be jealous is to be bitter, and I don’t like bitter stuff.”Zachary laughed. “Honey, people who say those things are always proven wrong by reality. I used to be one of those people.”Serenity bur
