Jasmine said angrily, “Seren, you don’t have to mind what others say. It’s fine as long as Zachary and his family aren’t urging you. Besides, you can’t be blamed for not getting pregnant. Who knows? It can be Zachary’s problem too.“He did reject you when you mentioned getting a checkup.”Jasmine believed there were no issues with Serenity’s and Zachary’s bodies, but outsiders kept saying that her best friend was a hen that could not lay eggs. Therefore, she could not help but get angry. Why did they not say it was Zachary’s problem?It was unfair. Why would people always blame the woman whenever a couple could not have children after trying for a long time?“I used to mind, but I don’t care what others say now. Maybe I’ve become numb after hearing a lot.” Serenity had become indifferent. When she heard her friend getting angry for her sake, she smiled and said, “Don’t let Zachary hear you, Jasmine. He’s healthy. If you were to say he has a problem, I’m the one who’ll get u
Chapter 2008
“The man delivered food to Ms. Daniels once and then became her lover. That’s what I heard. After becoming her lover, she bought him expensive suits and ties. She even arranged for bodyguards to protect him and assigned a luxury car to him.“It seemed like she was trying to make her into a second Zachary. Her desire for Zachary is so obvious.”Anyone who had seen Zachary before would have mistaken the back of Jenna’s lover for Zachary’s.After a moment of silence, Serenity said, “Even if he looks like Zachary, he’ll never be him. As long as it isn’t Zachary, Jenna can have whoever she wants as her lover. It’s none of my business.”“Other people will suspect Zachary’s the person she’s being lovey-dovey with and posting on Facebook every day. The man’s face is never revealed every time she posts a picture. She’s obviously trying to mislead people into thinking that she and Zachary are together.“She’s ruining your and Zachary’s relationship by making you suspect and misunderstand hi
Chapter 2009
Jasmine chuckled. Her best friend had Zachary wrapped around her finger, but Zachary had Seren wrapped around his too. It was because the husband and wife had a good relationship. Without love, they could not have influenced one another. Serenity cleared her throat before picking up Zachary’s call. “Babe.”She deliberately made her voice cuter and addressed him. On the other end of the call, Zachary’s hand trembled. His phone almost dropped to the ground. He thought he had called the wrong person. After moving his phone away from his ear and taking a look, he verified that he was indeed calling his wife. He placed the phone by his ear again and asked Serenity with a laugh, “What bad deed have you done that you don’t wish for me to find out? Or did you badmouth me behind my back?”“Nothing. I just miss you. Did your bones tingle from me calling you like that? Or did you dislike it?”Zachary smiled and said, “I was startled and thought I dialed the wrong number. You must
Chapter 2010
Jasmine thought Serenity had mistakenly identified Aunt Audrey as family. “My mom and Aunt Audrey are biological sisters. However, Kevin discovered a prominent family in Jensburg that prioritizes daughters. The previous head of that family died from a scheme planned by her younger sister, and her husband’s family members lost their lives too. However, it was covered up as an accidental death.“The family head had two daughters who went missing tens of years ago. No one knows whether they’re dead or alive. The family name is Fisher, which is also my mom’s original surname. That’s why Zachary suspects the Fisher family is related to my mother.”Jasmine widened her eyes. She said in shock, “Wow. That sounds complicated.”Her best friend’s mother had a tough life. Serenity’s mother, Lisa, would have been born with a golden spoon if she were really from the Fisher family. However, she did not have the luck to enjoy the wealth and luxury. Instead, she lost her closest family at a youn

Serenity smiled with understanding. “Jas said the same too.”“Elisa, is Aunt Audrey in?”Serenity took the bags and went into the house with Elisa. “My mom’s in the house.”Elisa replied in a whisper, “My mom has been silent lately, but she still can’t accept that Remy and I are dating. Seren, you must grab the chance and help me put in a few good words about Remy in front of my mom.“She wouldn’t listen to what we say, but she might if it’s from you or Liberty.”Serenity happily agreed. Then, she asked, “Has Aunt Audrey stopped making a fuss? Did something happen that I wasn’t aware of?”“I’ll let you know later. I’ll only tell you about it, so you must keep it a secret. I’m not even letting Jasmine know. If she finds out, my peaceful days will be over.”Jasmine was Julian’s sister-in-law. If she were to discover that he had been sending Elisa various gifts recently, she would definitely tell Josh about it. After that, Josh would inform his uncle, and the entire Bucham family
Chapter 2012
Sonny looked like Liberty while Liberty inherited her mother’s looks. Whenever Mrs. Stone saw her elder niece and Sonny, she would feel as if she were looking at her younger sister. “Sonny didn’t cry. He was so excited that he got up early and changed into his uniform. He carried his little bag and went to preschool happily. It was my sister and I who weren’t used to it.”Children had always adapted quickly on their first day of school. On the other hand, parents were not used to it and would worry about their children who were in preschool. They would also eagerly hope for the time for school to be over soon. Mrs. Stone laughed and said, “It’s his first day of preschool. He must’ve thought it was fun and didn’t know he had to stay in school all day. Most kids start making a fuss about not wanting to go to school a few days later.”She looked toward her daughter and talked about Elisa’s embarrassing stories from when she was young. “Elisa acted the same way when she went to presc
Chapter 2013
“The Fisher family in Jensburg?”Mrs. Stone was taken aback. She said, “I heard of them but never interacted with that family. Why?”“There aren’t many people with the last name Fisher, Aunt Audrey. The Fishers in Jensburg are different from other prominent families. They prioritize daughters, and they’ve always had matriarchs.”Mrs. Stone looked toward Serenity and asked, “Seren, do you think I’m related to the Fishers and are part of them?”Serenity nodded. “I suspect so, and so do Zachary and the rest. He was the one who told me, so I came over to ask you about it.“Do you remember where you used to live?”Mrs. Stone did not give an immediate reply. Instead, she became lost in her memories. She was only eight when she and her younger sister were sent to the orphanage. Although she was already aware of some things, she was still a child who did not know much. She only knew she had lost her parents and family. She and her sister became orphans and were taken away from home b
Chapter 2014
The current matriarch of the Fisher family was seventy years old. When her older sister gave birth to her first child, Madam Fisher had just come of age and was eighteen. If Mrs. Stone were Madam Fisher’s niece, she would be fifty-two. However, Serenity remembered her aunt was older than that. Aunt Audrey gained her father-in-law’s favor and her husband’s love after she started working at Stone Group. Subsequently, she got married and had children. Her eldest son, Clive, was already thirty-two years old. If she was indeed the eldest daughter of the Fisher family’s previous matriarch, it meant she had given birth to her son when she was merely twenty years old.Although people had gotten married early forty or fifty years back, Serenity still found giving birth to a child at twenty years old slightly too young. “Aunt Audrey, the eldest niece of the Fisher family’s matriarch should be fifty-two years old this year. This doesn’t match your age.”Mrs. Stone said, “My current age is
