Chapter 18

Author: Gu Lingfei

“I wasn’t at the shop tonight. My friend wanted to attend a dinner party and asked me to tag along. Oh, right. Mr. York, I want to ask you about something, but I’m not sure if it’s something you’re comfortable answering.”

Taking the seat opposite Zachary, Serenity stared at the man with her big bright eyes. The man was aloof, distant, and nasty toward her. She knew he built a wall around him to keep nobody out but her.

However, he was blessed with good looks. His face was aesthetically pleas

There was also a jewelry set.Everly rarely wore accessories. Usually dressed androgynously, she never cared much for jewelry. She would wear earrings at most, but most of the time, she kept things very simple.It was not because she did not own jewelry. In fact, she had plenty. Her grandfather had given her all the precious jewelry passed down through the family. Even her mother did not own as many pieces as she did.Sometimes, her mother would even borrow a couple of sets from her for special occasions.Kaden doted on her. Every year on her birthday without fail, he would give her a piece of jewelry. She owned enough jewelry to rival a jewelry store, and every piece was exquisite. The antique family heirlooms handed down through generations were priceless.Her cousins had always been envious. When Everly was little, they tried to sweet-talk her into giving them several sets, but she refused them every time. They belonged to her, so she would not give them away.Maddie had also

Everly laughed. "In all my life, this is the first time someone has called me beautiful. People would tell me I was cute when I was little, but I always felt they were just saying it to make me feel better."I'll just look like your wallflower standing next to you."She felt that Sonny was better-looking than she was.If Sonny had slightly softer features, people could easily mistake him for a beautiful woman. On the other hand, Everly was the type who could easily be mistaken for a man."Being too handsome as a man isn't necessarily a good thing. It comes with plenty of trouble. Ms. Flemming, I see your secretary. We'll talk when we meet.""Sure."Everly hung up the phone.A few minutes later, Sonny knocked on the door and walked in carrying two bags. One contained Everly's gown, and the other contained a jewelry set to match.Sarah poured Sonny a glass of water and left the office.Sonny placed the two bags on Everly's desk, saying, "Old Mr. Flemming asked me to bring these

"Everly is an excellent catch. Maybe Mr. Brown happens to fancy women like her. What I'm worried about is that he may not be willing to be a househusband. Everly definitely won't move out. She needs a partner willing to settle on her family's estate.""Exactly. What outstanding man would willingly marry into a woman's family? How many men have felt miserable being a househusband?""Isn't that the same for women marrying into their husbands' families? Don't women feel miserable with their in-laws too? Stop being hypocritical, Steven. Just listen to Maddie."Think it over yourself. I'm going out."With that, Tessa got up and went upstairs. She changed her clothes, put on a little makeup, picked up her handbag, and left the house.Her husband was left at home to stew in his own anger.Everly had no idea what transpired at her uncle's house. She returned to the office and continued to work until Sonny called her in the evening.She answered the call."Ms. Flemming, I'm outside your

Tessa understood Everly’s personality and nodded in understanding. “We know, Maddie. We’re not angry, and we certainly don’t blame you for anything. Go home and take good care of Old Mr. Flemming.“If Old Mr. Flemming is handling Everly’s marriage, then we can rest easy too. He has good judgment. Still, we should look into Mr. Brown.“Just because the York family is good doesn’t mean he’s good as well. Some people act one way in public, and another behind closed doors. We won’t bother anyone. We’ll just quietly look into him ourselves.”Maddie said, “My father-in-law will handle that. Everly means the world to him. He’ll never be careless when it comes to something as important as her future. He’s lived far longer than us and has much more experience. If he thinks highly of someone, I believe that man really is exceptional.”“That’s true. Then we won’t worry about it anymore. Drive carefully. We asked you to stay for dinner, but you insist on going home.”“My father-in-law isn’t f

Steven's face relaxed slightly, and he said, "Fine. Since Old Mr. Fleming said that, we'll stop worrying about it."I've already done so much for Everly, but she doesn't appreciate any of it. Instead, she thinks her uncle is trying to scheme against her. What a thankless job. Who else would bother going this far for her?"Since Mr. Brown has come to Clearfield, have Everly invite him over for a meal. We'd also like to see just how outstanding he really is."Maddie said, "I'll invite you to meet him if an opportunity arises, but I haven't met him in person either. I've only seen his photo. From the picture alone, he really is very handsome."You should've heard of the York and Lewis families in Wiltspoon. If you haven't, then just ask around or search online. Everyone knows what their family values are."The children they raise can't possibly turn out too badly. Sonny was raised by his aunt, and she had a huge influence on him, so his character should definitely be good."Steven h

Steven’s face flushed red. He pointed at Maddie, struggling to find the words. “How am I meddling? I’m just doing this for Everly’s good. You hardly ever go out, so you don’t know many people. Everly is never going to get married if you want to pick out her husband by yourself.“Just let her start dating. She’s so busy with work that she barely has time to think about anything else. We elders have to put some thought into it for her. For the sake of her marriage, I went around making connections everywhere. Whenever I hear that someone’s family has a young man, I swallow my pride and ask around.“Do you think that’s easy for me? I didn’t introduce thugs to Everly. Even if those young men I’ve introduced aren’t as outstanding as the distinguished guest from her company, they’re not bad either.“What does your husband’s family have other than money? They’ve always been short on descendants. Everly has no siblings. If you don’t find a family with plenty of sons, who would be willing to
