Her sister was right there, and so was Jim.His romantic gesture made her a little… embarrassed.The moment he carried her, Serenity got a whiff of that familiar scent on his body and could not resist touching his face.Yeah, that still felt really good.Zachary was speechless.She said she did not want his thoughtfulness, but when he hugged her, she took the opportunity to take advantage of him.Wait till night fell and she—Zachary hurriedly stopped himself and halted that train of thought, lest he could not help himself.After placing Serenity on the ground, Zachary went to carry Sonny from the car.“Uncle Zak,” said Sonny in his childish voice. As Zachary reached out to hug the little guy, he jumped straight toward Zachary. Zachary reacted quickly and caught him easily before raising him high into the air.Sonny burst into laughter.After teasing Sonny a little more, Zachary put Sonny down and stopped playing with him. He asked, “Sonny, did you miss Uncle Zak?”Sonny no

Jim had only walked for a few minutes before he received a call from Zachary.“Jim, come back. We need your help again to move stuff. This time, the things have to be moved to the eighth floor. There are quite a few things too, so the moving fee… Seren, how much should we give Jim?”Zachary pulled the phone away as he asked Serenity.Serenity looked at all the gifts her aunt had sent over. It was too much, even if half of them were her sister’s. It would take some time for Jim to move all of them alone, so she said, “Ask Jim to come back first. He can take a look and name a price.”After dealing with him a few times, she felt she was now pretty familiar with Jim. It would be embarrassing if she gave him too little for the moving fee, but it would be a loss to give him too much as well, so she simply decided to get Jim to name a fee.Jim looked like an honest and trustworthy person and did not seem like he would charge an astronomical amount.“Alright. Jim, just come over first.”

Zachary finished preparing dinner after two hours.Looking at the table full of Serenity’s favorite food he had personally cooked, in a rare bout of whimsy, Zachary dug his phone out to take a photo of it and posted it on his social media.Ever since his last post, his social media had once again gone on a long hiatus.The moment the photo was posted, his friends and important clients not only speedily clicked like, they even left comments.“Mr. York, can I still make it in time if I come over now?”“Mr. York, I’m only just realizing that you’re actually really good at cooking.”“Mr. York, hurry and send some over—I’ll help you finish it.”“Mrs. York really is blessed. I’m so jealous! I slaved for you for so many years but I’ve never tasted a single bite of your cooking before.” This was a comment left by Josh.After Zachary finished posting the photo to his social media, he put his phone back into his pocket and did not see his friends’ likes and comments.He returned to the

Jasmine looked at Josh as she said this.Josh immediately began feeling immense pressure.As he was bad at cooking, he had no way of presenting a table full of dishes that could rival a professional chef as Zachary had done.In his heart, he griped about his good friend. He was so exceptional that he was about to thoroughly outshine all the other single upper-class men. It was not easy trying to get a wife.“Ms. Sox will be very happy in the future too.”Josh had no skill in cooking, but he felt that he would treat his wife very well. If something came out of his relationship with Jasmine, he would definitely ensure her happiness.Jasmine laughed. “Who knows at present if they’ll be happy in the future? Love and marriage aren’t the same. Things can be super sweet while dating, but after marriage, everything returns to reality. Every single flaw a person deliberately hides while dating will be exposed without fail. A marriage will only last if they can tolerate each other to the e

Based on the Bucham family’s network, Josh was extremely clear about her entire family history stretching back eighteen generations. He even knew about how many children her grandmother had had and how many had survived to adulthood. She did not even know that.She only knew her father had four siblings and thought her grandparents had only had five children.Once, she had no idea what they had been talking about before that, but Josh mentioned her father had eight siblings. It was just that only five of them reached adulthood, while the remaining four had died when they were infants.At the time, Jasmine was struck dumb.She then returned home and asked her father, but he had no idea either. When she asked her grandmother about it, it was only then her grandmother admitted that that was the truth.In the past, living standards were bad and many people had many children, but most had at least one child who passed away.Her grandmother asked her how she knew about that.It had be

While Josh’s proposal had failed, elsewhere, Zachary and his wife were happily enjoying their honeymoon phase.After dinner, Serenity sat on the sofa watching television as Zachary washed the dishes in the kitchen.A life like this made Serenity feel very fulfilled and also blissful.After sitting for a moment, she got up and walked to the kitchen. Leaning on the doorway, she watched Zachary wash the dishes.“Don’t you want to watch TV anymore?”Her stare was quickly noticed by Zachary. He turned his head to glance at her before he resumed washing the dishes.“I don’t follow any dramas, and I don’t know which ones are good. I didn’t find any that I wanted to watch after flipping through the channels either. I feel like TV dramas aren’t as good as they used to be. The special effects are over the top. Maybe I’m just old, but anyway, I can’t bring myself to watch anything.”Zachary laughed and said, “You’re so young, but you’re calling yourself old already. You normally come back

Zachary finished wiping down the stove, washed the rag, and proceeded to wash his hands again. Then he turned to walk toward Serenity and stopped before her. His large hands cradled her face and pinched it lightly a few times before he said, smiling, “I told you, you should go only if you want to go. If you don’t, then you don’t. I don’t mind either way.”Serenity grabbed his hand, walked to the balcony with him, and sat down on the swing.She leaned against his shoulder and together, they looked out at the city lights.“When all the houses below are all lit up, the huge building opposite us goes all dark. They’ve all gone home for New Year’s.”“Tomorrow morning, we’re going back to the old residence. I’ve already informed Nana and there’s already a room arranged for us to stay in.”Zachary had his arm around her shoulders as their heads leaned against each other.That moment was full of warmth and sweetness.“Seren, our old York family residence is really old. I hope you won’t

Serenity nodded, and also reminded him, “You need to put your jacket on too. If you get sick, there are jabs waiting for you every day.”Zachary was speechless for a moment. “With you constantly monitoring me like this every day, how could I dare let myself get sick?”Those few days of daily injections were enough to strike fear into him for the rest of his life.Zachary went back into the bedroom to get Serenity’s jacket and put on his jacket too.After coming out of the room, they heard a phone ring. It was not Zachary’s phone but Serenity’s. He saw Serenity scoop her phone out and look at it for a long while before doubtfully picking up the call.“Hello. May I know who this is?”Zachary figured it was an unfamiliar number just by hearing her ask that question.The person on the other side of the line did not speak right away.Serenity asked again, “May I know who this is?”“Serenity, it’s me.”A familiar voice filtered through the phone and Serenity’s expression turned ugl
