Caroline then decided she would cut her finger and squeeze out a few drops of blood. Her family would not notice if the wound was not deep.Given her family’s indifference to her, they would not find out even if she made a few slashes on her wrist.Audrey said gently, “You don’t have to be in such a rush, Ms. Fisher. You’re a guest here, so stay for a meal.”“Thank you, Mrs. Stone, but I’ll pass. I have to hurry back. I need to be home by ten tonight.”After a moment of silence, Audrey said, “In that case, I won’t force you to stay.”She ordered the housekeeper to bring a fruit knife and instructed him to hand it to Caroline along with a disposable cup.Caroline picked up the knife and decisively cut her finger with her hand. When the blood oozed out, she immediately caught it with the disposable cup and pressed on the wound after a few droplets fell.Seeing her do all this without a hint of hesitation, Audrey realized that this girl was a ruthless person.Fortunately, Caroline

Audrey called her eldest son when Liberty sent Caroline out. When Clive answered the phone, she instructed, “Caroline came for a visit. Get someone to keep a lookout. After she leaves Wiltspoon, erase any trace that she came here.Clive did not ask his mother for her reasoning and responded, “Got it, Mom.”“Finish up work and come back early to keep Alice company.”“Okay.”Audrey hung up the phone.Serenity had no idea that Caroline visited nor what she said and did at the Stones’ residence.She was the most beloved person in Wildridge Manor now.It was not until nine at night when she returned to Zachary and her room that Zachary had the chance to cling to her.“Babe.”Zachary returned to their room before she did.Upon their return and after the others heard that Serenity was pregnant, she was surrounded and coddled by her in-laws. Zachary had no place in it at all. Even if he sat beside Serenity, he would be pulled aside by his elders.Thus, after that happened several ti

“Have you told my sister and aunt?”Serenity was surrounded by the elders of her husband’s family, so she never had the time to tell her own family and friends.However, she knew that her husband would show off everywhere.It was just like how Josh also showed off everywhere when he learned that Jasmine was pregnant. Zachary had been incredibly sullen back then.Serenity and he got married first and became a loving couple with mutual affection, but Serenity never got pregnant.However, Josh got Jasmine pregnant after a month of marriage. How could Zachary not feel sullen?“I told Liberty and Clive. I couldn’t remember your aunt’s number off the top of my head since I was too happy. I only remembered Clive’s number, so I told him.“Did your aunt not call you?”Zachary thought that Audrey would be overjoyed after hearing the news and made a call.“My sister sent a message asking me, and I said I’m pregnant. Maybe she doesn’t know we came back. She told me to take care and rest.
Chapter 2172
Serenity brought up her grandmom’s advice to her sister and aunt in private, but both of them told her to wait. If she still could not get pregnant after three years of marriage, and there really was nothing wrong with the couple, then they could do as her grandmom said.They would adopt a child.When Lilian told her that she was pregnant, she felt her body relax. That excitement was something that Zachary could never experience.“Mom and Dad said they would transfer two hundred million to my account tomorrow.”Serenity suddenly told her husband.“They said it’s a reward for me. They said that I’m a great hero of the York family for giving them a grandchild at the risk of my body getting out of shape after pregnancy. They insisted on rewarding me, but isn’t it normal for a couple to have children?”Serenity felt a little sullen as she spoke.She felt that her in-laws directly giving her two hundred million made it seem like her getting pregnant was like doing business.Like it
Chapter 2173
Serenity had been married to Zachary for a year. Although she knew that he was the eldest young master of the richest family in the city and that her in-laws were also very wealthy, everyone had always pampered and spoiled her. It made her feel like affluent families were no different from ordinary families.Though, the rewards that the elders gave her for her pregnancy made her truly realize what affluent families were. They were extravagant!“Zachary.”Zachary bowed his head again to kiss her forehead and said with a gentle voice, “I still like it more when you call me Babe.”“I think I’m hungry again,” Serenity looked up at him and said in embarrassment.She ate a lot during dinner and was very full.Zachary asked indulgently, “What do you want to eat now? I’ll go downstairs and make it for you.”“I want some spicy fries, with lots of sauerkraut.”Zachary was silent.“There might not be spicy fries at home.”Serenity sat up straight and said to him with shining eyes, “Babe

“I should move around more when I’m pregnant. It’s not conducive to childbirth if I lay in bed every day.”Zachary neither agreed nor refused her. He just said, “We’ll go to a hospital tomorrow for a check-up and see what the doctor says. Don’t do anything strenuous for now.”“What strenuous stuff would I do anyway? I don’t need to climb mountains or till the fields. I just take care of my small business. At most, I’ll run around a little. I’ll also pay attention to my physical condition. If I feel unwell, I’ll definitely rest up.“In any case, you can’t be like Josh who stopped Jasmine from doing everything.”Zachary defended Josh. “Doesn’t Ms. Sox go to the bookstore every day to work? Josh doesn’t stop her from doing everything.”“You mean I can go work at the bookstore every day too?”“You were running the bookstore when I met you.”Serenity was silent.“As for the fruits and vegetables business, you can take care of it if it’s in Wiltspoon, but if there’s a need to travel,

“Me too. I’ll like it whether it’s a girl or a boy. Of course, I’ll be happier if we have a girl.”Zachary grinned and watched his wife finish the spicy fries.After saying that, he felt like his words would make Serenity feel pressured to have a daughter, so he quickly added, “Seren, you don’t have to feel pressured to have a daughter. Both Nana and my mom didn’t get girls like they wanted.“Since they failed to have a daughter, they have no right to pressure you.”Serenity laughed. “I’m not pressured. The elders in your family aren’t picky either. They’re happy enough that I can give you a baby.”She did not get pregnant for a year after they married.Everyone was worried that she was sterile.The York family went from wanting her to give birth to a daughter to just getting pregnant.Now that she was pregnant, it meant that the young couple was healthy. The elders were very happy with that and would not be picky about the baby’s sex.Zachary also laughed, thinking that what

Serenity hurried Zachary while grinning.Zachary watched her fasten her seatbelt before he started driving.He drove around leisurely before returning to their house in Brynfield.Although it had been ages since the couple stayed at their Brynfield home, Mrs. Lane would come over daily to clean the house. She would also look after the plants that Serenity grew on the balcony.Upon entering the house, Serenity switched on the lights. Then, she headed straight to the swing on the balcony and sat on the swing. Sighing, she said, “This is the swing I’ve been dreaming of.”The hilltop villa had a swing too but what she missed about the house was the swing. Perhaps this was where Zachary and her relationship developed.After all, it was not the same.Zachary poured her a glass of warm water. After that, he switched on the lights on the balcony and sat beside her. Once he lifted his head, he saw the two bamboo poles used for drying clothes.He remembered that Serenity went all the w
