Chapter 469
While Serenity was feeling uneasy, Elisa spoke. Her voice was abnormally calm when she asked Serenity, “Serenity, my mom will come home around noon. Can I go to your place to pick up Sonny?”Elisa did not have much of an impression of her aunt, and could not tell much from the photos of her. In Serenity’s words, children were all cute when they were young.If Sonny looked like her aunt, even if it was just a little, she could not just let it go. She had to let her mother see him.Elisa recalled the moment she first met Serenity. Something inexplicable had made her want to get closer to Serenity.The first time she met Sonny, she liked him right away too.If Sonny was her aunt’s grandson, that might explain why she liked Sonny from the moment she met him.It was not like she had never seen a kid of Sonny’s age before, but only Sonny made her like him from the very first moment. He made her want to kidnap him to be her own nephew and when she bought toys for him, she was not stingy

“Yeah, they’re a pretty big family. Thank you, Elisa.”Elisa felt relieved after hearing that Serenity’s husband had brought backup. “Serenity, you had a shotgun marriage with that husband of yours, right? It seems like he’s not that bad. At least he’s willing to help out when you run into trouble.”Unlike Liberty’s husband. So what if they had known each other for twelve years?He still could not match up to Serenity’s husband from a shotgun marriage.“Alright. I won’t go this time, but the next time, if you run into trouble again, you have to tell me, or else I’ll consider you’re no longer thinking of me as a friend. Send your sister’s address to me. I’ll visit Sonny there.”Serenity did not deny this request.After she ended the call, Serenity sent her sister’s address to Elisa Stone.Zachary had been partially paying attention to Serenity’s conversation with Elisa.When he heard Elisa wanted to bring people over, his hands that were placed on the steering wheel tightened.

It could also be that Elisa Stone could not envision how her aunt might appear as an adult.Serenity considered that once she returned from the Reptons', she would immediately work on sketching a portrayal of Elisa's aunt as an adult. Would there be a resemblance to her sister?“Does that mean your mother is Ms. Stone’s aunt?”Zachary could only sum it up in one word: melodrama!It was just too much melodrama!To top everything off, it had to happen to his wife.The worst part was, Elisa Stone had publicly confessed her love to him before and openly pursued him too. Serenity had even helped her pursue him before.If it were not for him putting on his ring and showing it off, Elisa Stone would still be coming to his office to make a fuss every day and annoy him.At first, he wanted to teach Elisa Stone a harsh lesson, but unexpectedly, she became good friends with Serenity, which stopped him from being able to do anything.He had to give special treatment to people who were sin

First things first, they had to deal with the problem at hand and that was seeking justice for Sonny.The issue of his identity being exposed could probably be delayed a little more because he would be leaving for Annenburg soon to attend Ben Young-Johnson and Jane Murphy’s wedding.Anyway, it could be delayed for a while.He also had to confess the truth to Serenity before Mrs. Stone saw him.He hoped Serenity’s reaction would not be too fierce.In the beginning, when he did not feel anything for her at all and did not understand her either, he thought it was normal for him to hide his identity in order to test her character.After all, with his status, who knew if the women who approached him did so for the money or for him as a person?Now that he had learned about Serenity’s character, way of handling things, self-confidence, strength, and independence, they were very much to his liking, and he was unconsciously attracted to her.On Elisa’s side, once she ended the call wit

Mrs. Stone was stunned to hear that. “Zachary has a partner?”“He’s already married and he’s really good to his wife. He spoils her and is so protective of her that Clive can’t even find out who she is.”Mrs. Stone was silent for a moment. “Since he already has a wife, you should give up then. He wasn’t yours in the first place. It’s always been one-sided on your part.”Mrs. Stone was very appreciative of Zachary, but she knew Zachary did not like her daughter at all.It was her daughter who just wanted to give it a try.Once she hit an insurmountable wall, she would have to turn back.“Mom, I have to tell you about something.”Elisa did not want her mother to bring Zachary up again. Every mention of him was a stab to her heart.It would be a lie to say it was not painful to suddenly find out the man she had loved for years was already married, and that she almost became the third party in a marriage, so she had no choice but to give up on her feelings abruptly.Now she tried

If Serenity and her sister really were her nieces…At the thought of what her two nieces had been through, Mrs. Stone felt even more distressed.“I’ll be home very soon. Wait for me. I’ll go with you to visit Sonny.”This was the strongest lead yet. She definitely had to see the child that looked like her sister with her own eyes.……Meanwhile at The Reptons, Chelsea was still trying to stop her parents from moving out of her home.“Dad, Mom, please don’t move out! I won’t try to ask Serenity to compensate anymore, okay?”Last night, after her parents returned, they started packing up their things, but Chelsea had managed to get them to stay one more night after much begging, crying, and promising.She thought her parents would calm down after a night.She did not expect them to once again say they were moving out.The main issue was, her father was furious.George also advised, “Father, Mother, Chelsea’s right. If you move out, there’ll be no one to take care of you? How co

“What are you guys here for again?” Chelsea demanded to know.She wanted to bar Serenity and the rest from entering her home, but she was too weak to stop them.Her husband, on the other hand, sang a different tune as he politely invited Serenity and the Yorks into the house.Matthew started glaring at them furiously the moment he saw Serenity and her party.His father saw this and pinched him.“You need to apologize honestly later.”George reminded his son in a lowered tone of voice, “These people are not to be trifled with.”They remained wholly unscathed even after smashing up the Reptons’ home.The cops at the police station yesterday were not on their side at all.George was worried the Yorks had some hidden power and so decided to capitulate, reminding his son to apologize genuinely.Actually, it was all George’s overthinking. The police had watched the security camera recordings and felt Matthew had been overtly cruel, which was why they had decided to ignore the fact

Olivia wailed and rubbed her eyes before she scolded Matthew. “Matthew, Sonny is your cousin. How could you beat him half to death?”“Mom, Matthew knows he did wrong. He’s just a child who doesn’t know how to hold back.”Chelsea defended her son and said to Serenity, “Serenity, Matthew was wrong for beating Sonny, and his father had already taught him a lesson yesterday. He’s learned his mistake. Later, I’ll take him to buy some fruit to visit Sonny and apologize to him.“In any case, we’re still relatives. We won’t press charges regarding how you smashed my home up, so you shouldn’t insist on my son taking responsibility either. It’s normal for children to fight, but it won’t be nice if adults like us interfere.“Besides, Lucas said that it was Sonny who hit him first. Matthew was just protecting his own brother, just like how you’re protecting your sister now.”Serenity sneered. “Chelsea, could your eyes be any more blind? Who was the one who made the first move?
