Chapter 19

Author: Gu Lingfei

“I’m taking a trip back to my hometown after meeting your parents this weekend. I want to chop down a few bamboos to make the rails.”

Zachary replied faintly, “No need, I’ll get someone to install the rails tomorrow.”

The lady of the York house wanted to go all the way to her hometown to chop down some bamboo and haul them back for laundry-airing purposes. The only person who could come up with this is Serenity.

“Sure. Thanks.”

“This is also my home.”

“Yeah,” Serenity answered before c

The top floor of Wiltspoon Hotel overlooked the York Corporation building.The building stood like a beacon in the heart of downtown, a fixture for decades that sustained over a hundred thousand livelihoods in the local area.Everly stood for a moment before turning away from the window. She went into the bathroom to wash up.The clothes she had washed the night before were dry. Out of the bathroom, Everly grabbed the dress in hesitation. In the end, she decided to put it on. It had been over two decades since she was caught dead in a dress. Summer in Wiltspoon was scorching, so a dress would be a comfortable choice. Serenity mentioned that Everly should ditch the power suits since she was not working the next two days. Her comfort should come first. Wiltspoonians did not dress to please anyone but themselves. It was all about practicality and comfort. Beep.The phone notification went off. Holding the dress in one hand, Everly took her phone and saw a text message from

“Whether it’s Mr. York or Mr. Brown, I don’t see them romantically. Stop trying to play matchmaker, Grandpa.” Everly had always been rational when it came to matters of the heart. “It’s late, Grandpa. You should get some sleep. Mr. Brown is joining us for breakfast in the morning. He’ll then take us to Wildridge Manor.” Everly urged Kaden to rest before the latter could nag more about potential husbands for her. Since her twenty-fifth birthday, Kaden would mention any guy who was considered a catch. He could not look at a young man without sizing him up for her. “I’m just worried about you. I hope to find you a man before my time comes. If I can do that, I can rest easy.” Everly said in resignation, “We’ve been over this, Grandpa. Marriage is not something I want to think about. I don’t want a husband to join our family. I promised you that I would have children, so our family legacy doesn’t end with me.“I’m not the best in the world, Grandpa. I doubt anyone would be inte

“Grandpa, let’s stick to my plan. Once things have settled down at the office and I have everybody’s loyalty in a few years, I’ll go for IVF and aim for a boy and a girl. “I’d love to have two kids all at once. That way, we don’t have to worry about anyone eyeing our family fortune.” Kaden said, “But I can’t rest easy, knowing that you’re on your own.” “I’m not on my own. I’ll have my own flesh and blood. Mom is going to stay with me. We can live happy lives. I don’t have to stress over my future husband not getting along with Mom. “Besides, the company will stay with the family. I just need to raise two kids before that happens.” Kaden had nothing left to say. It was hard to get a high-caliber man to take the wife’s family name. Even if the guy was willing, his motive was questionable. Kaden must admit that the candidates for the right husband for Everly were limited. Still, there was a chance that a capable man with the right character and mindset was out there. Surel

“Your mother grew up in a sheltered environment. The problem is that she has had it too easy, so she doesn’t have a strong mind of her own. Family is everything to her, and that’s what your aunts and uncles take advantage of. “You’re her favorite person, though. She has given up a lot for you, your dad, and our family. When I’m gone, your mother will only have you. No matter what she does, please don’t hold a grudge against her. “You’re going to take over the family anyway. Your mother gets a bit of money, and that’s all your uncles and aunts can take off her. Of course, it would be ideal if you could help your mom see through that side of the family, so that she would cut them out of her life.” Kaden understood that Maddie was not aggressive in nature. Maddie’s side of the family had been trying to get their hands in the Flemmings’ business through her. Things were slightly better when Maddie’s parents were still alive. Once they died, Maddie’s family dropped all pretense an

Kaden had not gone to bed yet. He was waiting for Everly to return. Though Wiltspoon was a safe city, especially with Sonny and Serenity staying close, Kaden could not sleep until Everly was back. With Everly entering the suite with two bags, Kaden asked dotingly, “You’re back. What did you get? Did you have a fun time shopping?” Everly walked over and sat on the sofa, dumping the two shopping bags on the cushion. She replied, “I didn’t get much. I got two new outfits, and Mrs. York insisted on paying for them. I tried to decline, but she wouldn’t take no for an answer.“She is so nice and lovely. I felt bad about turning her down, so I accepted the two outfits.” While talking, Everly pulled out the clothes. Kaden glanced at the dress and said with a smile, “Oh, you got a dress.” “Mrs. York said that the dress was made for me. I tried it on, and it fits well. I love the design too. She managed to talk me into getting it.” Rising to her feet, Everly held the dress again

“Your mother must be under a lot of pressure, Everly. Spend some time with your mother when you can. She only has you now.” Everly nodded. She was usually busy with work. It had been a while since she had quality time with her mother, Maddie. There were times Everly would not see Maddie despite living under the same roof. She was out at dawn and home after dark. Maddie had not woken up yet when Everly left home in the morning. By the time Everly returned, Maddie had turned in for the night. Everly and Maddie kept missing each other. Aware of Everly’s hectic schedule, Maddie would not call unless there was an emergency. Maddie would get into gardening, painting, or calligraphy to pass the time. Apart from her side of the family, Maddie had no close friends and barely went out to socialize. Whenever Maddie was out, people would always mention her late husband. She would get upset, getting the idea that people were pitying her. As a result, Maddie would rather stay awa
