Chapter 1823
“Not only did Mrs. Stone ask me for help several times, but Clive also used a carrot-and-stick approach. The two of them seemed to have decided to take advantage of me. Do I look like I can be easily taken advantage of?”Andrew was bewildered. The Stones were stubborn, but were they not worried that Elisa would choose not to get married if they separated Elisa from Remy?Elisa was not the sort who would allow her parents to meddle in her marriage.Previously, none of her family members approved of her going after Zachary. She was stubborn and refused to listen to them.Well, Elisa’s stubborn streak ran in the family; her family was stubborn too.They were all so stubborn that they would not compromise.Zachary said helplessly, “I didn’t manage to persuade Aunt Audrey. Even your sister-in-law has persuaded her countless times but to no avail. What’s your decision? Have you agreed to help Aunt Audrey?” Andrew responded, “I haven’t. This is troubling me, so I came to vent my probl

If Remy heard this, his thought would be, ‘Zachary, I’ve always treated you well. Why are you doing this to me?’Zachary, ‘It’s only when competition exists that you’ll feel stressed and cherish my wife’s cousin more. As Elisa’s relative, I’m giving you a test.’Remy, ‘It’s so hard to get a wife in this day and age!’“Something is wrong with Julian?”Andrew seemed to have discovered something new, which aroused his curiosity. He asked Zachary, “Zack, what’s wrong with Julian? Is he impotent? No wonder he’s still single although he’s around the same age as Duncan. I thought he hadn’t met the love of his life. It turns out that something is wrong with him.” Julian had always been the first to get scoops. Little did he expect that he would one day become the main subject of the scoop.“He’s not impotent. He’s said to be callous. It’s only when he meets a girl who is his cup of tea that he’ll be a real man. Otherwise, he’s no different from a eunuch. It’s not known whether this is t

“Let me talk to Julian now.”Knowing that Zachary was busy, Andrew stood up and planned to take his leave after pouring out his problems.“Why are you so desperate? Julian might not be at home. You should ask Josh before heading to the Buchams’ place so you won’t go there for nothing.” At the thought of how mysterious Julian was, Andrew hummed in acknowledgment. He said, “I have no choice but to be desperate because I’m extremely worried that Mrs. Stone will matchmake me with Elisa. She can scheme against someone without a trace. Only after getting into her trap will one come to their senses. By then, it’ll be difficult to get out of the trap.”Zachary laughed. “If Aunt Audrey plots against you, it means you’re outstanding. Everyone in Wiltspoon knows that she loves Elisa very much. She’s only interested in outstanding men.”“Zack, are you praising me or gloating at my misfortune?”“Both.”Andrew’s face darkened before he said, “Let me ask Josh. Because of Mrs. Stone’s doing
Chapter 1826
Serenity felt Zachary did not take action because he had benefited from it. It was also because that old pervert was not targeting her. Otherwise, with Zachary’s personality, he would have made that pervert suffer in secret. Zachary seemed to have sensed what she was thinking. He added, “Although he wasn’t targeting you, I won’t let such a shameless pervert off easily. Don’t worry. Your husband will stand up for you.” “I thought it was Ms. Daniels’s doing. She called me and said bluntly that she fell in love with you at first sight. You have such good luck with women, Zachary. You have pursuers before and even after you’re married, and they’re all young and beautiful.”In the end, Serenity’s words sounded sour. Zachary picked up on that and asked her, “Are you jealous?”“I’m not. To be jealous is to be bitter, and I don’t like bitter stuff.”Zachary laughed. “Honey, people who say those things are always proven wrong by reality. I used to be one of those people.”Serenity bur

“Thank you, honey,” Zachary said apologetically. He had always avoided trouble, but women still flocked to him. He could not do anything about it either. Serenity said seriously, “I’m only keeping you because your heart is still with me. If you have the slightest intention of cheating on me, I won’t stay with you. I’ll offer my place to whoever wants to marry you. I have so many love rivals. Do you think I’m willing to keep a husband who attracts women like a magnet?”“I love you and only you forever, honey. You’ll be my only woman in this life. Don’t push me away.” “Hmm, it’ll depend on your performance. I’m hanging up. You should continue with your work.” Serenity ended the call after speaking. After hanging up, Serenity made a rare complaint to Grandma May, “Nana, your dearest grandson keeps getting jealous. It’s been like this since the past. I think he won’t change in the future either.”Grandma May said, “I scolded him last night. Let me know if he complains that you’re n
Chapter 1828
“Old Mrs. Johnson is more fortunate than me,” Grandma May said enviously. Old Mrs. Johnson was old, yet she still had her husband by her side and many children and grandchildren. All of them were filial too. Grandma May also had many children, but her husband passed away long ago. She was lonely, but the man who loved and understood her best was no longer there. She would feel even lonelier if she did not make herself busy.That was why she liked going out of her way to do things. “Seren, didn’t you say you have something to take care of? You should go. I’ll pack up and head out later.” Serenity hummed in agreement. She did have to handle the matter with Unit 188. At the same time, she called her sister to inform her that she was taking Sonny on a trip before the summer break ended. Liberty was with her son at the store she bought recently. When she received her sister’s call, she quickly agreed to her sister’s idea.The summer break was almost ending, yet she had not t

“Missus… isn’t home.”Zachary paused. He turned to ask Sam, “Where did she go?”“Missus didn’t say anything.”Zachary was disappointed that he could not see his wife after work. He immediately took out his phone to call her. The phone rang for a long time, but Serenity did not pick up. After ending the call, he asked, “Who did she go out with? Was it Nana?”There was no sound from the TV inside. Grandma May was probably not home as well. “Yes. Sonny too.”Zachary acknowledged and did not ask further. He brought the present he bought for Serenity into the house. Grandma May was an old child who could not stay still at home. She probably asked Serenity to have supper with her or enjoy the night breeze. Sam followed behind Zachary. He wished to speak but hesitated. Zachary did not notice that. After entering the house, he placed the gift on the coffee table and sat on the sofa. He tried calling Serenity again, but she still did not pick up even though the call connected.

Zachary was in disbelief. “Nana and Seren brought Sonny on a trip? She didn’t tell me about this! I called and texted her, but she didn’t respond to any of them. Did she just abandon her husband at home and go to have fun herself?“Liberty, look at Serenity. She’s being increasingly indifferent to me. She didn’t even tell me about such an important matter as this. She often goes on business trips and only returns after three to five days. She always neglects me.“I let it slide usually, but she’s not even telling me about an important matter like traveling now. She’s abandoning me at home on purpose. If she had informed me about it, I would’ve gone with her and clung to her if I had to.”Liberty said, “Seren has been exhausted lately. She’s just going on a trip to relax. She’s not neglecting you.”Her brother-in-law always complained to her. Whenever the husband and wife had a conflict, Zachary would surely complain to her, and she would criticize her sister. However, Seren had t
