The Johnsons were well aware of the fact that the Yorks had not had a daughter for several generations. Old Mrs. Johnson had a daughter but not a granddaughter. Now that Jane gave birth to a great-granddaughter for her, it also made up for her regret of not having a granddaughter. She could not quite empathize with how much Grandma May hoped for a great-granddaughter. Zachary and Serenity had been married for almost a year, yet Serenity was still not getting a baby bump. Old Mrs. Johnson did not dare to talk too much with Grandma May about children, worried that Grandma May would put pressure on Serenity due to her eagerness for a great-grandchild. In fact, Serenity was in a rather difficult situation. Fortunately, she was married to Zachary. The Yorks had good family values, and the elders were open-minded such that they would not urge them to have kids. They also did not mind Serenity’s family background. This was the same as when the Johnsons did not despise Jane in the
It was just that Grandma May did not associate the Fishers of Jensburg with Mrs. Stone. Perhaps because Mrs. Stone had married into the Stones for decades and everyone was used to calling her Mrs. Stone, Grandma May neglected her maiden surname. Even Old Mrs. Johnson did not know her maiden family name. Mrs. Stone might be related to the Fishers of Jensburg. She was amazing when she was young. Even though she grew up in an orphanage, she was able to marry into a rich family, second only to the Yorks, and became Mrs. Stone with her brilliance. Her excellence might have been inherited from her family bloodline. Women of the Fishers—especially the eldest daughter—were especially amazing. Due to the nature of Grandma May’s previous job, she looked into some of the Fishers’ pasts when she was interested in them. For instance, the current matriarch killed her elder and younger sisters back then to gain her current position.Madam Fisher’s big sister was much older, twenty years ol
Grandma May stopped talking, and Old Mrs. Johnson quickly understood. Old Mrs. Johnson had a grave look on her face. There was no relationship between the Johnsons and Stones at the moment, but they would become in-laws if Remy married Elisa. Mrs. Stone’s surname was Fisher, which was a rare surname. It would be hard for people not to associate her with the Fishers of Jensburg. The Fishers experienced a bloodbath decades ago. Although not in the same city, the big families were still concerned. Old Mrs. Johnson thought that if Mrs. Stone was the daughter of the Fishers’ previous family head, and if she found out about her background and wanted to avenge her family, the Johnsons would have to help her. She looked at Grandma May. The old ladies looked at each other and sighed. Grandma May said, “If the day really comes, the Yorks won’t be able to stand by and do nothing either.” Mrs. Stone’s sister was Serenity’s mother. If she wanted to take revenge and snatch back the f
It was said that the ladies of Annenburg always wanted to marry into the Johnsons. On the other hand, the woman of Wiltspoon would rack their brains to become a missus of the Yorks. Not only were they after the Yorks’ wealth and status, but they were also after the loyalty of the men in the family. After strolling around half of FC Manor, Serenity and Jane were tired. They tacitly agreed to go back and stopped walking. Sonny was still a small child and could not walk so long. Serenity had to carry him on her back on their way back. Serenity, who was carrying the little one, said to Jane, “This is the time I miss Zachary more. If he were here, I wouldn’t need to carry Sonny.” Jane laughed out loud. “Mr. York would be sad if he heard that. He’ll surely say that you only think of him because of guys from other families.” Serenity blushed slightly and asked Jane in return, “Mr. Young-Johnson must often complain about you too, am I right? Guys of other families—your tone is so
After knowing who Serenity was, Dr. Carden said to her, “Mr. Callum is your brother-in-law, right? When you go back, tell him that I’ll go treat his fiancée’s eyes after confinement, which lasts forty days.” Serenity smiled and said, “I’ll definitely deliver your message, Dr. Carden. Callum has been looking forward to it for a long time.” Tim, who was holding his son at the side, had a rather dark expression. When Lilian looked sideways at him, he pretended as if nothing was wrong and continued to indulge their son. The legendary doctor whispered to Laurence, “Boy, you have to inherit your teacher’s toughness in the future. Don’t learn from your Uncle Tim to be afraid of your wife.” Laurence called Jane Mama, and he used to call Tim Uncle Tim. Now that his teacher became his uncle’s wife, he could not correct himself. As such, Lilian told Laurence not to correct himself and called them whatever he wanted. If Uncle Tim dared to ignore him, he could tell her. His teacher woul
Laurence was happy to hear that there was a friend. He had also wanted to go home long ago as he was missing her little sister at home, worried that she would be stolen away if he was not at home. However, his teacher’s teacher did not want to go home and wanted to look after the baby boy in the hospital. Laurence thought that his teacher’s teacher was also afraid that the baby boy would be stolen away. Sonny followed his Aunt Ser to FC Manor and became friends with Laurence. The two of them were close in age and became closer friends as they grew. It also represented the building of friendship between the next generation of the two rich families. Although Sonny was not of the Yorks, his little aunt was the future missus of the Yorks. When he and Jane’s adopted son became good friends, the families would become intricately linked. … The sun was setting in the west, and the evening sun was like fire. Serenity watched the two children playing not far away. There was a d
Zachary picked up Laurence in his arms.Sonny ran over.“Uncle Zack.”Zachary smiled and carried Sonny too.Serenity stood up from the stone bench and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw her husband walking toward her with the kids in his arms.Why did he come here?He even knew Serenity was at FC Manor.Zachary walked over with the two children in his arms. He then bent down and put them down on the ground and told them, “Go enjoy yourself.”Sonny pulled Laurence and said, “Let’s go play, Laurence.”Laurence was a playful kid who loved playing the most.There were a few children at FC Manor. All of them except Laurence were still infants that could not speak or walk, which was not fun to play with as they could only cry.They got crazy together as Sonny seldom came to visit.Serenity and her husband looked at each other for a moment, and she asked him, “How did you know we were here?”Zachary reached out and lightly pinched her face, scolding her, “You didn't ev
A good husband knew his wife best.Every time she saw the children playing around, she would think about them not having babies yet.Serenity leaned her head on Zachary’s shoulder and responded with a grunt of agreement.The two children got tired of playing and ran over to them.Laurence ran too fast and tripped on a stone, falling down.Sonny hurried to help him up.Zachary and Serenity stood up quickly and walked over. Serenity was the one who picked him up as Sonny was still young and could not lift up the chubby Laurence.Laurence pouted his mouth and was on the verge of crying. He was held by Serenity, who asked him in a gentle and caring tone if he was hurt and where it hurt.Aunt Ser was so gentle, just like Mommy Jane, giving him a maternal feeling. Tears swirled in Laurence’s eyes, but he still shook his head and said he was not in pain.Serenity helped him pat off the dust on his clothes. She then took out a tissue and gently wiped away his tears after seeing them w
