“There’s a famous saying that if women want to live a good life after marriage, they should be capable people or have a strong family behind them. “I only have one daughter now too. If Clo-clo were to move to a distant place after marriage, I definitely wouldn’t be able to bear it, let alone Ben. His daughter is like a rare gem to him. He loves her so much that he’s already guarding her against Laurence and Mr. Ormond’s son.”Serenity could not help but laugh. “Laurence is only three years old. What does he know? Iris’s son is the same age as your two children and only knows how to eat and sleep.”“Ben still protects Clo-clo regardless. He said that he finally has a daughter and would pay extra attention to her. If anyone’s son is suspected of showing interest in his daughter, he’ll nip those feelings in the bud. He won’t let them have those thoughts.”Ben was most wary of their adopted son, Laurence. Laurence was very clever. Even the legendary doctor said he had great potentia

It all happened in a blink of an eye. Mrs. Lafayette had Chloe in her arms already. Jane’s adoptive mother, Fiona, carried Connor. The Johnson family’s elders did not even have the chance to move. Jane whispered into Serenity’s ear, “See? I’ve already fallen out of favor. There’s a saying that grandparents are closer to their grandchildren than their children. My parents only love the two babies now. If I didn’t bring them back whenever I visited my family, my mom would ask me why I bothered returning.”Serenity understood that feeling. The same would happen if she did not bring Sonny back to Wildridge Manor. Her in-laws would be unhappy. Zachary, who was being entertained by Ben and the other men, could not resist staring at the baby girl when Mrs. Lafayette returned to the sofas with the baby. Laurent said, “You can stop looking, Mr. York. You won’t have the chance to carry my niece. Even I, her uncle, rarely get to hold her.”However, Suzy had been able to snatch a f

Serenity was stunned. She said, “It can’t be. I think… Jane, I think I haven’t gotten my period this month.”Was she really pregnant?“My periods have been irregular recently. It was late sometimes, so I didn’t pay much attention. However, it usually comes a few days later.”“You’re definitely pregnant.”Jane smiled. “Some people do get morning sickness after just getting pregnant.“Congratulations, Seren!”Serenity grinned too. “I don’t know whether I’m pregnant or I’ve eaten something bad yet, Jane. Don’t congratulate me just yet. It might be a false alarm.”“From my experience and instinct, you must be pregnant. Lilian’s a doctor. We’ll find out once she checks on you.”After speaking, Jane pulled Serenity out. She requested a maid to look for Lilian too. Next, Jane forced Serenity to sit on the sofa. Everyone was concerned about what had happened to Serenity. Jane said with a smile, “Seren may be pregnant. Her period hasn’t arrived, but she never thought of this pos

Zachary said anxiously, “Please let Dr. Carden examine Seren now, Mrs. Young-Johnson. I’m dying to find out.”The women were still in the mood to have a pleasant chat. They were clueless about how anxious he was. Jane smiled at Lilian and said, “Lilian, please conduct a checkup on Seren now and see whether she’s pregnant. She was vomiting severely just now. I think it’s morning sickness.”Serenity’s face was red. Her husband’s panicked expression made her blush from embarrassment. The people present in the children’s room were young wives with noble identities. Everyone stayed silent when Lilian took Serenity’s pulse. Zachary was a nervous wreck. Serenity was smiling, but she was nervous too. She would be sad if they got excited over nothing. Lilian told Zachary and Serenity a moment later with a smile, “You’re pregnant. If you think my pulse-taking is inaccurate, you can confirm it at a hospital.”Upon hearing that, Serenity nodded continuously while grinning. She s

Chloe was extremely likable. Serenity only carried Oliver after Jane took Connor. Lilian and Tim entered as well. She took her son from Serenity’s arms and passed him to Tim. She said, “Coax your baby boss quickly. He cries so much and is so loud that even the roof can shake from his wailing.”If Baby Oliver could think, he would have thought, ‘Do you think I have a lion’s roar?’Tim started coaxing his son, who was in his arms. The baby was hungry. His father failed to coax him, so Oliver still ended up in his mother’s arms. News that Serenity was pregnant did not spread. Only the Johnsons knew of it. Zachary was anxious. He was also worried that someone would bump into Serenity as many people were at the party. He decided to bring her back to Wiltspoon right away. Serenity did not want to leave that soon, but she had no choice but to agree, as she could not persuade her husband. Zachary told Ben and Jane apologetically, “Ben, Serenity has to rest because she’s pre
