“This Friday, as soon as you finish school, Dunc will bring you here, and then we’ll go back on Sunday afternoon, okay?”Duncan promised the little one.This way, he would have a legitimate reason to fly over to accompany Liberty on Fridays.“Really? Dunc won’t lie to me?”“I’ve told you, Dunc doesn’t lie to children. Dunc is very honest. Don’t you think Dunc is very honest?”After thinking for a moment, Sonny felt that Duncan was usually very honest and said, “I believe Dunc. Will my mom agree to us coming over? Will we disturb my mom’s work?”Aunt Ser said Mom had been very busy lately.Sonny knew that his mother was working so hard for him. She said she wanted to earn a lot of money so he could have a good life.Sonny felt that his life was already good enough.He did not want his mother to work so hard. However, Liberty insisted on going to work and making money. He felt he was a sensible child and should support his mother.“No, we’ll come over on the weekend, and your

Corey was thinking that if her son was willing to be Sonny’s stepfather, at least Duncan’s small family would have a child. Maybe because of Sonny, Liberty might even have another one in the future.Sonny always wanted a little sister.Everyone assumed that the baby in Serenity’s belly was a boy.Sonny, wanting a little sister, would pester his mother to give birth to one. This way, Duncan could have his biological child, even if it was a girl. Corey would be pleased as long as it was Duncan’s flesh and blood.Of course, Corey did not dare to reveal any of these thoughts.The car accident that Duncan had experienced had softened his parents’ rigid views.“I’ll head back now. Whenever you’re free, come over. Sonny should come over often.”Serenity insisted on taking the two children home. Corey gave her some nutritional supplements and asked her to take them to replenish her body.“Mrs. Lewis, look at my waist, it’s getting thicker. If I keep taking these, I’ll end up with a bar

Serenity suddenly thought of the psychic who predicted her marriage with Zachary and said that the couple would be happy and have children of both genders. If she were to have a daughter, would she be able to raise her to adulthood?If her fate mirrored that of the York family’s past generations, she would rather not give birth to a daughter. Serenity could not bear the thought of seeing her child gradually lose breath before her eyes. It would be an unbearable heartache. If there were concerns about the energy flow at Wildridge Manor, the psychic insisted that it was not about the manor’s layout or location. Rather, the psychic acknowledged that the family was divined to prosper for generations.“Seren, what’s wrong? Your face suddenly changed.”Noticing Serenity’s change in expression, Elisa asked with concern.“Is it because of what I said about the York family losing their daughters? Don’t worry, you’re definitely having a son this time. Sonny mentioned it several times, sayi

Sonny was going to be a big brother, and he needed to learn to take care of his younger siblings or cousins.“I’m not that fragile.”Serenity smiled as she lifted her nephew. “You’re about three or four years old. How heavy can you be?”Sonny was not chubby.Clearly tired, the little one fell asleep within minutes of being cradled by Serenity.After half an hour, two cars entered York Corporation.Serenity had initially planned to call Zachary to give him a surprise later.She informed him that she would fetch him from work in the evening and they would go home together for dinner. However, she decided to surprise him instead.Showing up in his office unannounced would surely be a pleasant surprise.As Jasmine had mentioned, creating surprises occasionally in a marriage could strengthen the bond.Having read many novels, Jasmine was adept at creating romance and surprises, and Serenity had learned a thing or two from her.“Missus, let me hold Sonny for you.”A bodyguard wan

Hearing the last two sentences from Zachary, Josh chuckled. “I don’t nag you, but you have no idea how busy and tired I am. We agreed before that when you’re back, you’d let me take a few days off. I have to remind you so you’ll keep your word.“And also, you promised that next year when Jasmine gives birth, I get a two-month paternity leave.”Zachary replied, “It’s not like you’re the one giving birth. Why do you need that long of a paternity leave? Taking one month off is enough to take care of your wife during her postpartum recovery.“Plus, so many members in your family are around. After postpartum, you won’t need to take care of her. I indeed promised to give you two months of leave at that time, and I thought it was quite generous. Yet, you still find it insufficient.”Josh retorted, “When Serenity gives birth, and if you manage to come to the office every day, work as usual, and don’t want to take care of your wife during her postpartum, then I’ll only take a one-month pate
