The York family would even give a reward to whoever had a daughter. Old Mrs. York said she would award five hundred million to the couple who gave birth to a girl.
If their womb managed to produce more daughters, they would become incredibly wealthy.
The two chatted about their children as they walked.
After Serenity walked away and looked back at her mother – in – law, she saw that Tania had already left with her friend. She stopped and was silent for a moment before walking back to her car, which was parked at the corner of the street.
Since the day the Yorks visited Serenity and Zachary at the newlyweds’ home, Serenity had sensed that her mother – in – law did not like her marriage with Zachary.
However, Serenity’s mother -in – law was cultured, so even if she did not like Serenity, she was still polite and did not make things hard for her daughter – in – law. She had at least maintained a cordial relationship.
Serenity understood why her mother – in – law pretended not to know her and did not take it to heart.
After walking back to her parking spot, she unlocked the car and placed the clothes she bought for Zachary on the passenger seat before driving away.
A short while later, she arrived at Brynfield. Zachary had yet to return, so she fiddled with her small garden on the balcony.
The roses were blooming in overabundance, so she took a pair of scissors to cut a few off. However, she was reluctant to throw them away, so she took them back to the hall to trim them and arranged them into a vase.
Ring ring ring…
Her cell phone rang.
She answered and it was from her neighbor at the store. It was inconvenient to take the pets with her since she was going to shop for Zachary’s clothes, so she asked the neighbor to look after the pets for her.
“Mr. Charles, I’m so sorry. I completely forgot. I’ll go over and pick them up now.”
Serenity would have forgotten about the pets if she had not received the call.
Well, she was too busy and had just started having pets. She had not gotten used to it, so she forgot about the dog and two cats.
“I’ve brought the pets to the entrance of your neighborhood for you. You can just come out and fetch them from here.
“I figured you forgot about them since you didn’t come back to pick them up after so long. I had nothing to do anyway, so I brought them to you,” said Mr. Charles.
Charles was the neighbor who thought he was good at reading faces after reading a few books on the subject. He thought Serenity had a face that spoke of wealth, and she was someone who would go through hardships before attaining a smooth life. In the future, she would no longer be in the same circle as them.
Since his wife and him took over a small store in front of Wiltspoon School, he had never had a problem with Serenity and the others. In his eyes, Jasmine was also destined for a life of riches.
Of course, with the Sox family’s current fortune, Jasmine was already considered rich.
“I’ll be right out.”
Serenity was grateful and embarrassed.
After hastily replying to him, she quickly hung up the phone and went outside.
Bam.
It was only after closing the door that she realized something. In her haste to pick up her pets, she forgot to take her house keys.
‘Oh no, I won’t be able to get into the house later.’
She hurriedly looked at the time. ‘It’s already nine o’clock. I’ll call Zachary later and ask what time he finishes work. If he’s working until late at night, I’ll take a cab with the pets and get the keys from him.’
Serenity quickly ran to the entrance of the neighborhood and saw Charles holding her pet dog and carrying the cat carrier.
“Mr. Charles.”
She walked over and smiled in embarrassment. ” I’m so sorry, Mr. Charles. I forgot about them and troubled you to come all the way here.”
Charles smiled and handed the leash and cat carrier over to her. “It’s fine. I had nothing to do anyway, so no harm done.”
“Thank you, Mr. Charles.”
“You’re welcome. Well, I’ll go back now.” Charles did not want to stay long.
Since Charles said so, Serenity could only say, (( Drive safe then, Mr. Charles.”
Charles rode a pedicab here.
He smiled, waved at Serenity, and rode away.
After he left, Serenity called Zachary.
“What’s wrong?” Zachary said in a low voice.
“Mr. York, are you getting off work soon?”
Zachary was silent, but he thought, ‘Does she miss me?’
However, he instantly scrapped that answer. There was no way she would miss him.
He had become more and more oversensitive lately.
“Why?”
He did not give her a direct answer. He wanted to know the reason she was asking before he answered.
“Um, I came out in a hurry and closed the door, but I forgot to bring my keys, so I can’t get back in. If you’re still working overtime, I’ll take a cab to your company to get the keys now, but if you’re getting off work soon, I’ll wait at the door.”
Zachary thought about it and said, “I’ll come home now. You don’t have to take a cab here.”
“Sure. I’ll wait for you in front of the house.”
He hummed and hung up the phone.
When Josh heard Zachary, he knew he had to continue to negotiate business with the client on his boss’s behalf again.
Before Zachary could speak, Josh said considerately, “Go ahead. I’ll handle things here.”
Zachary patted his friend’s shoulder and waited for the client to return from the washroom so he could apologize and excuse himself due to an urgent matter. After getting the client’s understanding, he left Wiltspoon Hotel with his entourage of bodyguards.
