“Of course, Caroline would take the opportunity to complain about you to your mom since you ordered her to pick you up while they were meeting a client. Considering Caroline just closed a huge deal, your mom is sure to show her some level of respect.”Celine was overwhelmed with jealousy. “Well, isn’t she lucky?” “I know, right.” Emma allowed jealousy to rear its ugly head too. If Caroline managed to establish herself, then Caroline would become the head of the family while her husband would be left out of the picture. Her husband had been slaving away for Fisher Enterprise, but in the end, all his work would be for Caroline’s benefit. That fact would not sit well with Emma and her husband. While the battle between the real and fake heiresses of the Fisher family was in full swing, Serenity was spoiled by everybody in Wiltspoon. After returning from FC Manor, Serenity rested for a couple of days before throwing herself back into work. Zachary did not stop her from goi

“That’s right. The baby’s health is more important than gender. The York family has had sons for generations. They can’t blame you for not being able to birth a daughter. The deciding factor of a baby’s gender is the men anyway.”“Seren,” called a familiar voice.It was Grandma May.Elisa and Serenity looked toward the office door. They saw her entering with Mrs. Lane carrying a few insulated lunch boxes in her hands too. “What brings you here, Nana?”“Grandma May.”Serenity and Elisa stood. When Serenity spotted the lunch boxes Mrs. Lane was holding, she figured out why Grandma May had come. They were delivering food to her. The old lady smiled and said, “It’s noon. I don’t want you walking around because the weather’s scorching, so Cecilia and I are here to deliver some food for you to eat in the office. You can even take a rest after eating.”After speaking, she grinned at Elisa and said, “It’s been a while, Little Fireball.”Elisa grumbled unhappily, “I’m not little an

Mrs. Lane placed the sour prune aside and said with a grin, “You can’t let Mr. York know of this, Mrs. York. Otherwise, he’ll deduct my bonus.“I prepared two desserts for you too. It’s not much, just two small pieces to satisfy your cravings.”Serenity watched as Mrs. Lane took one delicious dish after another out of the insulated lunch boxes and placed them on the office table. Then, she looked toward the desserts. She could finish those two small pieces of cake in a bite.She said, “The cakes are tiny, Mrs. Lane. There’s only one sour prune too. It’ll only worsen my cravings, not satisfy them. It’s too little.”Grandma May said, “Zack gave Mrs. Lane a special reminder because he was scared you would vomit. He also stressed that I shouldn’t spoil you by letting you eat sour or sweet food. He told me that you even vomited bile this morning.“You should be content that Mrs. Lane even brought you one sour prune.”Serenity said, “Okay. I’m content. One it is. It’s better than none.

Serenity’s eyes gleamed after tasting the new dishes her sister had brought for her to try. Grandma May had the same reaction. After trying the new dish, she asked Liberty, “I’m going to sign up for a VIP membership at your restaurant and visit it every day. Your cooking skills have improved tremendously.”Serenity nodded while chewing. “Slow down, Seren. Don’t choke on the food.”Liberty smiled when she saw her sister enjoying the food so much. She said, “I signed up for culinary classes and practiced on my own after. Mr. Lewis was my taste tester. I brought these over for you all to try because he said they tasted great.“I feel reassured after hearing your comments, Grandma May.”“You’re the best, Liberty!”Serenity gave her sister a thumbs-up.Her sister was becoming a stronger, more successful woman. She had been an outstanding person from the start. Back then, she was blinded by love and foolishly resigned from her job to be a full-time housewife. She became so busy

Duncan thought Liberty had gone to visit Hank at the hospital again. “I see. Is Serenity doing fine?”“She’s fine. Zachary said her morning sickness wouldn’t be as severe if she didn’t eat sour or sweet food.”Duncan smiled and said, “I didn’t know something like that was possible.“Zachary definitely won’t let Seren have sweet or sour food anymore. Otherwise, he’ll be worried sick when she vomits and can’t leave for work all day. Even if he’s at the company, his heart will stay with her.”That was what happened to him too. Although he had returned to the company to work, he would keep thinking about Liberty when it was almost time to get off work. Duncan only returned to the office occasionally to handle some matters. He would always head to Liberty’s new restaurant in the afternoon to try out her new menu. Liberty was his lunch provider. “I instructed them to leave some food for you before I came out, Mr. Lewis. You can take your time eating. I’ll head back later.”Dunca

“Stop talking about this,” Hank scolded his sister. Chelsea pouted. Luke had to warn his daughter, “Don’t do anything stupid, Chelsea. I won’t let you off the hook if you cause trouble there.”Old habits died hard for his daughter. Her greed revealed itself again after her gratitude toward Liberty for rescuing Lucas at the zoo had dissipated. He was worried she would wreck the restaurant opening. Chelsea quickly said, “I dare not do anything, Dad. I don’t have a death wish. Look at Liberty’s status now. My own store will be destroyed if I sabotage hers. I’m not that silly.“I’m just envious. After all, we did contribute minorly to Liberty’s current success. If it weren’t for us, she wouldn’t have been able to be motivated and establish a career like this.”Chelsea’s shamelessness was truly off the charts. After listening to her, even her parents and brother felt she was shameless for flattering herself. “Hank, divorce that evil woman as soon as possible and get Liberty bac

“Have some water, Dr. Carden.”Lilian accepted the drink. “Thank you, Rosella.”“I should be the one thanking you. My son had you come over just a month after you gave birth. I’m so embarrassed by that. I’ve already scolded Callum.”Lilian gulped down half the glass of water. She was thirsty.“It’s okay. I almost died of boredom while recuperating anyway. I’ve wanted to leave my home for some time, but my husband doesn’t allow it. He insisted that I have ample home rest to recover. I’m a doctor. I’m more knowledgeable than him on how to regain my good health after giving birth.“Mr. Callum cares deeply for his fiancée. He persistently invited me over to treat her eyes despite needing to bear my husband’s disdain. I was touched by his deep love and I’m more than happy to make this trip for Ms. Newman.“I hope I can treat her eyes and let her have a good look at her fiancé’s face.”Camryn was engaged to Callum, yet she did not know what he looked like. Lilian found it a pity.

“Your health and spirits are as good as ever, Grandma May,” Lilian complimented,She had assessed the old lady’s health at FC Manor previously. Grandma May was as fit as a fiddle and could definitely live for another tens of years. Lilian’s mentor, the genius doctor, would live a long life too. He was especially healthy because he maintained his health through natural remedies consisting of precious medicinal plants. He also said he would try to live until he was 120 years old because he had more things to worry about. He wanted to see Oliver have a family of his own. Oliver was still a baby though. Grandma May held Lilian’s hand with a smile. “Lilian, does your mentor have any pills that can promote longevity? Can you give some to me? I want to be healthier and live longer. It’s best if I can live until the age of 120. It isn’t rare for someone to live past 100 years old now anyway.“I don’t know when I’ll be able to have a great-granddaughter. I need to hold her in my arms.
