Rebecca agreed.The two women and the boys went back to their cars and drove away from the school.They found a spot at a nearby dessert cafe.They ordered a few small pastries and two cups of juice for the little ones.Serenity ordered a coffee for herself, while Rebecca only asked for a glass of plain water.“Seren, it’s almost five in the evening and you’re still drinking coffee. Aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to sleep tonight?”“I’m used to it. Coffee doesn’t affect my sleep anymore. Even if I drink a cup at night, I can still fall asleep when it’s time to rest.”Serenity said with concern, “Since Jasmine is really pregnant, tell her to rest well and stop coming to the office. Elisa and I can handle things at the company. If she gets bored, she can mind the bookstore like she used to.”Most of the time, it was Jasmine who looked after the bookstore.Serenity, as the young missus of the York family, was getting busier by the day. Additionally, the several companies she

Serenity replied with a laugh, [They get along so well. Besides, my Lil’ Bun stays over at your place sometimes, too.[Later, I’ll take them to Wiltspoon Hypermarket. It’s been a while since I took them out. I don’t have anything on tonight, so I have time.]Taking the kids out for a walk was also a way for her to take the night off and relax.After marrying Zachary, although he doted on her and let her do whatever she wanted, she was the eldest daughter-in-law and the wife of the eldest grandson. The responsibilities were many and heavy, and she could not live as leisurely and carefree as she did before marriage.Sometimes, when she felt irritable, Serenity liked to go out and stroll around, not necessarily to buy anything, but just to wander, soak in the lively atmosphere of the big city, watch the crowds come and go, and feel the bustle and prosperity.[What time are you going? Let me check my schedule. If I’m free, I’ll join you. It’s been a while since we last went shopping t

At that moment, two bodyguards, disguised as parents, were watching Xavier and Heath in the ball pit.Two others were also keeping an eye on Lil’ Pie, their gaze never leaving the little girl for a second.This little girl was the precious jewel of the York family. If anything happened to her, they would have no way to account for it to the eldest young master.Even though the eldest young madam and Mrs. Bucham were both present, they did not dare take their eyes off Miss Lil’ Pie for a moment.“You’re pregnant with your second child?” Serenity asked her friend. “I thought you didn’t want a second one.”Jasmine watched Lil' Pie as she said, “I didn’t want a second child. I was afraid it would be another boy as mischievous as Xavier, which would be a real headache, but I also wanted to take the chance that it would be a sweet little girl.“There aren’t many children in the family right now, so we decided to have a second one. Plus, Xavier is older now; by the time our second child

Alex had bought two movie tickets, which coincidentally were for a movie that Sheila had wanted to see but had so far not found the time for.Alex said the tickets were given to him by his Aunt Rosella and claimed that she and his Uncle Martin had originally planned to watch it, but could not make it at the last minute, so they passed the tickets to him and told him to invite Sheila along.Surprisingly, Sheila did not suspect this story.That was because Rosella had cooperated with Alex in lying, telling Sheila that she had indeed bought the tickets.“Your eldest cousin’s wife? You mean, Serenity Hunt?”“Uh-huh.”“I’ve heard that even after becoming the young missus, she still maintains her habits and is very down-to-earth. She’s even influenced your eldest cousin to be more grounded, too.”“Yeah, I mean, she lived that way for over twenty years before marrying Zachary. There’s no way a few years would be enough to erase habits formed after that long.“I think it’s quite nice.

Though Sheila did not love Kent and had rejected him, the two had known each other for many years and shared a senior-junior relationship.She did not want Kent to disrespect Alex because he saw the latter as a love rival and ended up being suppressed by the York family.In the eyes of ordinary people, Kent was very successful. To a powerful, wealthy family like the Yorks, however, Kent was just a small ant. If they wanted to crush his career or screw him over, it would be effortless for them.Even though she knew the York family had good values and raised their children to be fair and not abuse their power, Sheila still pleaded for leniency on Kent’s behalf in advance.Alex said, “Don’t worry, I won’t bully others with my power. I’m quite broad-minded. Kent is just jealous that you’re nice to me, which is why he sees me as a rival and is rude to me.”Sheila smiled. “I do know that you’re a magnanimous person. I’m just overthinking it.”“You still care quite a bit about Kent, don
