Then, Hank said to his mother, “Mom, go shopping with Chelsea. If you see anything you like, just buy it.”He took out his phone and transferred five thousand to his mother for her shopping spree.“Okay. I’ll shop with your sister later and buy some new clothes. Hurry back to work and remember to come home early afterward.”Olivia sent her son out and winked at him to remind him to buy some gifts for Liberty when he got off work.Liberty pushed the stroller over and placed her son into it before saying faintly, “I’ll take Sonny downstairs for a stroll.”“Go ahead,” said Olivia, smiling lovingly.Liberty immediately put her guard up.‘If my mother-in-law is acting like that, she must be planning something against me. More accurately, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are trying to trouble me again, right?‘No matter what they ask, I won’t agree.’With that thought, Liberty could not be bothered to deal with them anymore and pushed the stroller out of the house.On the other h

Tania also turned to look at Serenity, who now already had her back to them. “Was she smiling at us? I don’t know her.”“Oh, maybe it was just my imagination, and it wasn’t us who she was smiling at.”Tania’s friend did not think much about it.She turned around again and saw that Serenity had already walked away. She said with a smile, “I must’ve really gotten the wrong idea.“That girl was quite pretty and bore a good mien. I couldn’t tell which family she’s from, so I thought she was someone you knew.” The friend teased Tania, “All the ladies in Wiltspoon will smile at you when they see you.”Tania had three sons. The most famous one was her eldest, who was the head of York Corporation. In the York family, he was the most important person after Old Mrs. York.All the men in the York family were extraordinary. Excluding the youngest two, one of whom was still in high school while the other had just reached adulthood and was not suitable for marriage, the other seven in their ge

Serenity understood why her mother-in-law pretended not to know her and did not take it to heart.After walking back to her parking spot, she unlocked the car and placed the clothes she bought for Zachary on the passenger seat before driving away.A short while later, she arrived at Brynfield. Zachary had yet to return, so she fiddled with her small garden on the balcony.The roses were blooming in overabundance, so she took a pair of scissors to cut a few off. However, she was reluctant to throw them away, so she took them back to the hall to trim them and arranged them into a vase.Ring ring ring...Her cell phone rang.She answered and it was from her neighbor at the store. It was inconvenient to take the pets with her since she was going to shop for Zachary’s clothes, so she asked the neighbor to look after the pets for her.“Mr. Charles, I’m so sorry. I completely forgot. I’ll go over and pick them up now.”Serenity would have forgotten about the pets if she had not receiv

Since Charles said so, Serenity could only say, “Drive safe then, Mr. Charles.”Charles rode a pedicab here.He smiled, waved at Serenity, and rode away.After he left, Serenity called Zachary.“What’s wrong?” Zachary said in a low voice.“Mr. York, are you getting off work soon?”Zachary was silent, but he thought, ‘Does she miss me?’However, he instantly scrapped that answer. There was no way she would miss him.He had become more and more oversensitive lately.“Why?”He did not give her a direct answer. He wanted to know the reason she was asking before he answered.“Um, I came out in a hurry and closed the door, but I forgot to bring my keys, so I can’t get back in. If you’re still working overtime, I’ll take a cab to your company to get the keys now, but if you’re getting off work soon, I’ll wait at the door.”Zachary thought about it and said, “I’ll come home now. You don’t have to take a cab here.”“Sure. I’ll wait for you in front of the house.”He hummed and hun

“A surprise for you.”Zachary took the bag and looked at it. “More clothes?”He took out the clothes and looked at them. This time, she was much more generous. All of them were branded goods.“I have no experience in giving gifts to men, so I can’t prepare a big surprise. Small surprises are all I can do. The clothes I gave you last time weren’t expensive. They were just a thousand or so each set, but this time, I bought you something branded. Each set costs more than ten thousand dollars.“Wearing it is like being decked out in money. Isn’t it a surprise? Even at my age, I could never bring myself to wear such expensive clothes.”Zachary smiled. “With your temperament and financial ability, it really is a surprise that you’re willing to buy such expensive clothes for me.”These new sets were many times better than the clothes she gifted him last time.Yes, it was a pleasant surprise indeed.“Thank you for helping my sister collect the evidence of Hank’s infidelity.”“Don’t me

After the mother and son ended their call, Zachary frowned and thought about it. He then went ahead and asked the lady in front of him who was holding her kitty on the balcony swing. “Did you meet my mom without my knowledge?”Serenity froze.She had not mentioned the encounter with her mother-in-law to him. How did he know?Zachary walked up to her and stood opposite her. His burning dark eyes locked on her pretty face, and he asked again, “Did you meet my mom today?”Serenity saw he was still holding his cell phone and thought her mother-in-law had called to complain to him about her, so she quickly explained, “I bumped into your mom when I was buying clothes for you. I wanted to greet her, but maybe she didn’t recognize me. She walked away with her friend while laughing and talking, so I didn’t greet her.”Zachary was a smart person.Tania was his mother. Although he was brought up by his grandparents, he did not alienate his parents. His relationship with his parents was cord

The husband and wife did not mention anything about the cold war they had and reconciled in silence. Serenity originally thought of getting through the six months and forgot about it, but she could not help but feel moved by his concern for her. She wanted to break that half-year agreement.However, she was afraid it was nothing but her own wishful thinking. She feared that if they divorced once the agreement expired and she ended up falling in love with him whereas he did not, she would suffer the pain of losing him and spend a long time forgetting him, all while he lived his new life happily.Falling in love with someone was easy, yet the same could not be said about letting go of someone you love.“Don’t worry, my sister and I will definitely ask for your help if we can’t solve a problem.”Since he was kind, she would respond in like.She added, “I called my sister when she got home, and she’s fine for now. She’s good at enduring, so she won’t act impulsively if she thinks it’s

Serenity stopped walking.Zachary too. He looked at her deeply and asked, “What’s wrong?”“I’ll pay for the nanny. She’s going to be taking care of Sonny, who’s my nephew, so I should be the one to pay for it. I can’t let you use your money.”It would cost thousands of dollars to hire a nanny now.He was already paying for all their living expenses.Serenity felt like she was taking advantage of him.Zachary could not help but reach out and pinch her face. “You are always haggling with me. We’re a family now, so why do you have to split hairs over everything? On the day we got our marriage license, I already said that since I married you, I can afford to support you.“Sonny calls me Uncle, and I like that child very much too, so I’m willing to pay for a nanny to take care of him.”After a pause, he added softly, “Most importantly, I don’t want my wife to be so tired.”“Pardon?”“I said, I’ll pay for the nanny.”He was very insistent.Serenity could not win against him.
