“By the way, just for your information, Hank and I will be registering our marriage on the coming Valentine’s Day.”Liberty was still remarkably calm. “Congratulations, Ms. Yates.”Congratulations on jumping into the pit of mud that was the Brown family.“It’s the weekend today and I just woke up to a handmade breakfast by Hank. I heard you were married for more than three years, but you were always the one cooking for Hank. You had probably never tasted his cooking before.”Liberty had had enough of Jessica’s provocation so she cut the call off.“Liberty, was that the Yates woman?”“Yeah. She’s insane. I divorced Hank and let them be together, but she still called to brazenly ask me if she could add me as a friend on social media. She must’ve wanted to flaunt her daily dose of lovey-doveyness with Hank to piss me off.“What’s there to be upset about anyway? We’re already divorced, so what is Hank to me now? He’s just an ex-husband.”As for Hank prepping breakfast for Jessica,

Liberty was the one who drove them here.She told her son to greet them.Sonny did not want Audrey to hold him, but he was willing to greet them. He addressed them the way his mother taught him.“This child is so cute.”Alice smiled. “Can I hold him?”Audrey said, “Sonny doesn’t even want me to hold him. Will he let you hold him instead?”Alice reached out tentatively. Unexpectedly, when Sonny saw her, he suddenly reached out as well for Alice to hold him.Audrey was speechless. “Sonny is picky with people.”“He’s usually not picky. He was just scared because of the last time. He’ll want you to hold him the next time we meet, Aunt Audrey.”Even Liberty was surprised that Sonny was willing to go to Alice.“Liberty and Serenity, this is Clive, my eldest son. He’s your cousin.”Audrey introduced her sons to her nieces.The sisters greeted Clive.Clive smiled back and said nothing.Audrey then pointed to her second son and said, “This is my younger son, Anthony. He’s two year

“Alice, I saw the wedding ring that Serenity was wearing.”Alice looked at him and said in amusement, “Do you think we don’t have eyes and you’re the only one who saw it? So what if you saw it? What’s wrong with Serenity’s wedding ring?”Clive was silent, pondering how to phrase himself.“We’re husband and wife. What is it that you can’t tell me? Didn’t you call me upstairs because you wanted to say something to me? What’s wrong?”“Alice, do you remember me telling you about Zachary showing off his wedding ring on his social media?”Alice nodded. “Of course, I remember. That day, you even told me to go talk to Elisa early in the morning. You were the good cop while I was the bad cop. I wanted to cry myself when I saw how much pain Elisa was in.“You also said that Zachary actually invited you to a meal when you met him by chance at Wiltspoon Hotel. You kept talking about it all night, saying that you would’ve never dreamed of having Zachary invite you to a meal in your lifetime.

Clive had this in mind, so he did not think about Zachary when his sister mentioned that Serenity’s husband had the last name York.Although the York family had a deep heritage that spanned several generations, they originated from the countryside. It was said from where their ancestors lived, everyone had the last name York.Clive did not know whether Zachary’s ancestors brought along the townspeople when they made a fortune in the city.However, he was cognizant that there were indeed many employees with the surname York in the headquarters of York Corporation and its branch companies. However, most of them had nothing to do with Zachary and simply shared the same last name.“That’s why I called you up. I want you to find an opportunity to secretly ask Serenity what her husband’s name is. Don’t let Mom or Elisa find out. You know Elisa hasn’t completely let go of her feelings for Zachary.“Mom just found Serenity and Liberty, so don’t let her know for the time being. I don’t kno

“Elisa finally put down her infatuation for Zachary. We’ll tell her when she has completely let go and is able to openly face Zachary with the fact that he’s married.”Clive sighed. “If she finds out that Serenity’s husband is the man she loves but can’t get, I can’t imagine the consequences. Serenity isn’t close to us, but Elisa and she get along.“I have to think about Elisa.”“But Serenity is your cousin now, and her husband is your in-law. If it’s really Zachary, he has to accompany Serenity to visit us eventually. He can’t keep hiding and refusing to see Mom, right?”It was fine if Serenity’s husband did not meet them but Audrey was their elder. He had to meet her.“I’ll ask Zachary tonight if his marriage with Serenity is hidden. Serenity probably doesn’t know his identity. She most likely wouldn’t dare marry him if she did.”Alice reminded him, “Serenity said her husband is out on a business trip and won’t be back for some time.“Why don’t you call Zachary now and ask him

Alice blurted, “We’re also acquainted with the York family. Should we invite them too?”After asking, she snapped back to her senses and hurriedly slapped her hand over her mouth, quickly glancing at her sister-in-law. “Sorry, I was talking nonsense.”She even stole a glance at Serenity to see if the latter had any reaction to the mention of the York family.Alice thought in her heart, ‘Are Serenity’s in-laws really the York family?’Audrey was not upset at her daughter-in-law and said, “They won’t send someone even if we invite them. Let’s not make a fool of ourselves.”The elders of the York family did not fancy her daughter.Elisa had liked Zachary for many years and openly pursued him, but the elders of the York family never expressed any thoughts, indicating that the York family did not want to ease relations with the Stone family and become in-laws.Audrey felt that finding her nieces was a grand and happy event. She did not want the attitude of the York family to spoil he

Serenity said with a smile, “My husband would text me when he has the time. Well, we’re in touch every time. Our marriage is at a much better place now.” She even kept her argument with Zachary from her sister, much less her aunt’s family. Serenity did not want to worry her aunt. “Relationships take time to build. You’ve been married for three months now. It’s only normal for your marriage to get better.” Elisa leaned in and whispered nosily, “How are things going on with Josh and Jasmine? I’m dying to find out.” Josh was Zachary’s right-hand man. He also came from a family that specialized in intelligence. Elisa could not believe Jasmine had gone on a blind date with Josh. She believed she could earn a lump sum for selling this information to the press but of course, Elisa was not short of money. She was friends with Jasmine too and she was not the kind of person who would do anything to betray her friends. Elisa would keep the secret about them until Josh was ready fo

Looking rather curious, Alice asked Serenity. Serenity turned around before replying, “It’s a good thing my sister didn’t tag along, but all’s good now since my sister divorced Hank. I knew I was the reason for the fights between Hank and my sister. That was why I married in such a hurry.” She explained to Alice the hasty marriage. Alice nodded her head. “I see. You saved your husband’s nana, and his nana really likes you. She paired you two together probably to repay your kindness too.” She had rarely seen the Old Mrs. York, but her man had mentioned that the old lady was friendly and did not put on airs. Old Mrs. York had a thing for going around keeping her identity hidden like a woman-child. There was one thing Alice could not wrap her head around. It was questionable for a bad*ss person like Old Mrs. York needed rescuing.Was Serenity sure that the old lady did not have her eye on Serenity from the very beginning and tried to scam her to be Zachary’s wife? “Is you
