Remy fell silent for a moment before giving his two cents. “Our parents want what’s best for us, but we may not approve of their methods. We might take it the wrong way and think they’re making our lives difficult.” “That’s right. Do your parents do the same too?” Elisa asked. “My parents stay out of my business once I reach adulthood. Then again, they don’t really get involved because my eldest brother is the boss of me. The seniors in my family don’t interfere with the younger generation’s business. Though, they might say something if we haven’t settled down.” Elisa smiled. “That’s right. I heard the elders of the Johnsons are pretty liberal like the Yorks. No wonder you guys are the 1% of the population. Everything seems to be going well for your lives.” “Elisa, is your mom forbidding you to date me?” Elisa gave an honest answer. “That’s right. My mom said you’re from out of town. She doesn’t want me to marry off to a faraway place. She is forceful and determined to separa

“I understand, Grandma May.” Duncan was down in the dumps. Still, the frustration only lasted for two minutes, and he regained his fighting spirit. Duncan had not begun the pursuit yet, and for him to lose the will now, he might as well move on. “It’s late. You should go home.” Grandma May showed Duncan the door. Duncan said with a kill, “Are you kicking me out, Grandma May? I was going to have a drink or two with Zachary.” “I’m not drinking tonight.” Zachary was quick to say no.Duncan chucked. “I heard that you don’t really drink at business parties anymore. Apparently, you quit alcohol because your wife doesn’t like you drinking. You don’t smoke, drink, gamble, or solicit. Our Mr. York has become a model husband.” The grandmother and grandson blurted in unison, “Watch and learn.” Duncan was speechless, to say the least. In the end, Duncan left Wildridge Manor. Once he was gone, Zachary stayed to chat with his nana for a while. Since the grandmother and grandso

Sam was snickering to himself.Zachary had completely become a slave to his wife.Serenity laughed on the other side of the line. “I’ll be home soon. Are you home?”“Yeah, I just got home. Where are you now? Let me pick you up.”“It’s okay, don’t trouble yourself. I can drive myself home. Besides, it’s too much of a hassle for you to come all the way from home just to bring me home. I’ll be back in ten minutes. Just wait for me at home, babe.”“Sure. Drive safe. Remember that you’re driving a car, not flying a jet.”Serenity chuckled. “I don’t even know how to fly a plane.”During late nights when there was less traffic, Serenity would sometimes speed on the way home and would soon be dissuaded by her two bodyguards.When Zachary knew of it, he gave her an ear-lashing. He then told Liberty about it too, which resulted in Serenity being reprimanded by Liberty.Serenity realized Zachary loved complaining to her sister.He would turn to Liberty whenever his advice for Serenity f

“Babe, I love you.”Serenity said the words that Zachary liked to hear the most.“From now on, I’ll buy you flowers every day, okay?”Buying flowers was easy.Serenity just had to tell Camryn to prepare a bouquet of flowers for her every day, then she would just give it to Zachary.“I only have one vase in my office. Alternate days will be good enough.” Zachary’s expression finally eased.Serenity said, “Why don’t I buy a few more vases for your office?”“I don’t want people to see me as a vase.”Serenity laughed and said, “You’re a man. Who would regard you as a vase? Alright, so instead of buying you more vases, I’ll just send you a bouquet of flowers every other day. It’s Friday tomorrow. Shall we go shopping on Saturday? I’ll buy you new clothes.”Zachary had plenty of new clothes in his closet. Every once in a while, a fashion designer would tailor new clothes for him.However, a certain someone still liked to receive clothes from his wife.Since Serenity learned of Zac

Duncan walked in but turned around and left before he said hello to the Hunt sisters.Serenity was puzzled and thought, ‘What does this mean?‘Is he retreating?‘Or did he leave because he saw me here?’Just as Serenity was guessing what Duncan meant by leaving so quickly, Duncan came in again.This time, he had a bouquet of flowers in his hand.It turned out that he forgot to take the bouquet from his car.Serenity was stunned.She looked at her sister, but she saw that Liberty’s face was stoic.Since it was still early, there were no other customers in the diner except Serenity. The two shop assistants were sitting beside them eating their breakfast.Seeing that there was a customer, the two of them wanted to get up and tend to the customer, but when they saw that it was Duncan, the two of them sat down again and continued to eat their breakfast.Duncan’s pursuit of Liberty was so obvious that they could not even pretend not to know.“Liberty.”Duncan came over holding t
