Serena walked toward her sister’s back and hugged her emotionally. Then, she said with a smile,” That’s true. I like how you nag beside my ear and urge me to do things. This is a blessing.”
When Serena was younger, she was annoyed by how her mother would always hurry her.
After losing her parents, she wished she could hear her mother say, “Lazybones, hurry up. I’ve told you hundreds of times to do it, yet you’re not moving a muscle.”
“Liberty, promise me that you’ll take good care of yourself.”
“Mm, I will. I’m still young. I don’t want to die. I won’t bear to part with you and Sonny.”
Liberty laughed and added, “Stop behaving like a spoiled child. Hurry up and go to work.”
Serena withdrew her hand from Liberty and reminded her about something before walking out of the ward.
Zack just returned after seeing Duncan off.
“Why don’t you spend more time with your sister?”
Upon seeing that his wife came out, Zack did not return to the ward.
“I wanted to, but my sister shooed me away. She wanted me to go to work and said that she didn’t. need me to accompany her.”
Zack held her hand.
“Liberty didn’t want to interrupt our work. Let me send you back to your store, okay?”
“Don’t you need to attend the morning meeting?”
Serena asked Zack, “Callum took a day off, and Josh might not return to the office today.”
Zack laughed. “I can have the secretary postpone the meeting. Let’s go. I’ll send you to your store. As for your car, I’ll ask Harry to drive it there straight away.”
Serena did not turn him down.
“I’ll pick you up in the evening. There’s a social gathering at night, and I’d like you to go with me.”
“Okay.”
Serena readily agreed.
Only after Zack sent Serena back to her bookstore did he rush to his office and start his busy day of work.
Jasmine came to the store today.
Serena mocked her playfully. “Why don’t you stay at home and prepare for the wedding? Your other half is desperate. I thought you might not come to work today.”
“There’s nothing much I need to do. Plus, it’s boring to stay at home, so I came.”
Jasmine looked radiant. Serena felt that her best friend had become much prettier.
Serena stretched out her hand and pinched Jasmine’s face while complimenting her, “Your face is so nice to touch. It seems to be glowing more by the day. Sure enough, women who are in a relationship look beautiful. If I were a man, I would fall in love with
Jasmine pinched Serena’s face.
you too.”
“Your skin is glowing too. It seems that you applied the skincare products Zack gave you and their effects are good.”
Serena grinned and said, “Actually, the brand of his skincare products is similar to what Elisa gave me. He arranged for the best beautician to provide beauty services for me from time to time.”
Zack gave Serena the best of everything material–wise.
He would never ill–treat her.
Although they had a flash marriage, he had never treated her badly.
“Zack has grown to be more considerate toward you. He has improved rapidly.”
“Nana said good men must be trained by yourself.
At the mention of Grandma May, Jasmine said, “It’s been a while since I last met Grandma May. I miss her so badly.”
“Jas, you miss me, huh? I’m here.”
Speak of the devil.
Grandma May’s voice preceded her appearance.
She was still full of vigor and walked fast. Even so, she exuded an aura of nobility, elegance, and naturalness.
Every time Serena saw Grandma May, she secretly criticized herself for being blind and silly back then. She was under the impression that Grandma May was an ordinary old lady.
“Nana.”
“Grandma May, luckily I didn’t bad–mouth you, or you would’ve heard it.”
While chuckling, Jasmine put down the novel in her hand. In fact, she held it but had hardly read any pages.
Following behind Grandma May was a handsome young man who was carrying a number of bags.
Serena promptly went forward to take two bags from the man.
“River is here.”
It was River, the seventh young master of the Yorks.
River was the youngest son of Zack’s second uncle. He just turned twenty–three this year.
Before he entered the business industry, the public had never heard of him–not even his name was known.
Jasmine had seen the nine young masters of the Yorks. However, she had only met them twice and was not close to them.
At first glance, she caught sight of River but did not recognize him. She had no idea about his place in the family. Upon hearing how Serena addressed him, Jasmine got to know that it was the seventh young master who accompanied Grandma May here.
“Serena.”
River called Serena courteously before he greeted Jasmine, “Ms. Sox.”
Jasmine smiled at him. “Mr. River.”
River quickly said, “Ms. Sox, you can call me River.
Josh was Zack’s buddy. They had known each other for years.
Jasmine smiled. She called River by his name so that he would not feel awkward.
Deep down, she thought that Serena’s brothers–in–law had different temperaments. Despite that, all of them looked attractive and photogenic.
They were even more handsome than the male lead in the novel she had been reading every day.
“Nana, you brought a lot of things. What are they?”
Serena placed the bags on the counter and unpacked them.
