Following the birth of the child, Grandma May had officially become a great-grandmother. Austin said in surprise, “Oh, Serenity will spend her maternity break at Wildridge Manor. She can get some peace and quiet there. The air is fresh too.” The manor was the best place to rejuvenate and recuperate when work was not involved. The Yorks were often occupied with work. Due to the long travel to the manor, they would leave and return in a rush, unable to experience the tranquility and peace the estate had to offer. The older members of the family preferred to move back to the manor after retiring. They could never get bored, even if they stayed indoors for a month. The manor was huge and had great scenery. The household employees lived near the foot of the hill. Grandma May would engage with the senior members about everyday topics. Life was bliss. Sam concurred with a smile. The other ladies of the family were ecstatic to learn that Serenity would be back at the manor. Isa

With all his questions answered, Louis said goodbye and hung up. Isabelle said amusedly, “I thought he missed me. I think he’s just dying to hang out at your place.“Louis and Phillip love you.” Austin uttered, “I love them both too, and not because I’ll be their family. They are just so lovely, sensible, and innocent.” He took Isabelle’s hands. “Let’s come here again during the summer, Ms. O’Connor.” “Don’t call me that in Wiltspoon. Just call me Isabella or Isa.” Austin grinned. “I’m used to it. “You’ll always be my precious Ms. O’Connor.” Isabella gave his cheek a squeeze before leaning against his shoulder. They enjoyed a moment in each other’s warmth. It was around a two-hour drive from the airport to Wildridge Manor. Austin told Isabella to take a nap. He would wake her up when they arrived at the destination. Isabella said, “I slept three hours on the plane. I can’t sleep anymore. If I sleep now, I doubt I can get any sleep at night.” Ring, ring, ring.

Sure enough, the rumors rang true. The elders of the York family took excellent care of themselves. Isabella’s future parents-in-law looked like they were pushing fifty, but they were well in their sixties. They carried themselves with grace even at an advanced age. They definitely turned heads in their primes.The great genes were passed down from generation to generation and ultimately to Austin, his brother, and his cousins. They were all hot.Isabella could understand why many women were dying to marry into the York family. The Yorks were the wealthiest in Wiltspoon, and all the heirs were established in their careers. Most importantly, the Yorks had strong family values. The York boys would never be caught dead in an affair once they were married. All women dreamed of having a handsome man completely devoted to them and their marriage. No woman in their sane mind would turn away from such a husband and family-in-law. If Isabella had not experienced it firsthand, she wo

Austin had other culinary influences as well. He sought guidance to learn the signature dishes of the chefs at the hotels managed by York Corporation. His achievement today in cooking was a result of learning from the best. After dinner, Grandma May pulled Isabella to sit on the sofa for a chat. Grandma May hogged Isabella the whole night. Seeing that there was no space for him to sit next to Isabella, Austin went upstairs to clear a guest room for Isabella. In truth, Tania had already gotten the guest room ready. Austin had to inspect the room and tidy it up again to make sure Isabella could make herself at home. He finally got close to his fiancée at ten o’clock. Grandma May turned in for the night while the rest of the family excused themselves. Austin took a seat next to Isabella. He took her hand and said with jealousy, “Ms. O’Connor, I knew I would be excluded when you came.“I couldn’t even sit next to you from the moment you entered the house. You’re like Nana

It was less lonely and safer with the increased number of people living on and around the hill. Without the workers, no one would ever know if anything were to happen to the owner’s family. Ruth mentioned that no one would hurt the Yorks in Wiltspoon because of the family’s influence and association with the Buchams. With that in mind, Isabella probed, “I heard a lot about the Buchams, Austin. Can you bring me along to visit the family? It’s okay if you’re not in the position to.” Austin said with a smile, “I can do that. Josh and Zack are best friends. Our families go way back, too. Walter is like a son to Nana. “The Buchams’ residence is not accessible to anyone but the Yorks. “Jasmine will be there when Serenity leaves the hospital tomorrow. I’ll introduce you to Jasmine. She’s Josh’s wife and Serenity’s best friend.” Isabella exclaimed in surprise, “Serenity’s best friend married Zack’s best friend?” “Yeah. Serenity and Jasmine started a bookshop together. Jasmine w
