Chapter 1332


    Mrs. Marshall thought Serenity’s voice was pleasant. She held her hand in a friendly manner and


    complimented her.


    Serenity responded to everyone’spliments with grace, which disappointed those who wanted to


    see her make a fool of herself.


    Some people thought Mrs. Stone was indeed good at teaching. Serenity had only attended a few


    banquets with Mrs. Stone, yet she had managed to train a country bumpkin into a graceful missus of a


    wealthy family.


    The York family of four went on to meet Old Mr. Marshall.


    After looking at Serenity for some time, Old Mr. Marshall did not say a word. However, he gave her a


    generous gift in front of everyone. He even told Zachary, “You two must live a happy life. Your nana


    won’t go wrong.”


    Zachary was soft toward Old Mr. Marshall. “Thank you, Old Mr. Marshall. I’ll cherish and love. Seren a


    lot.”


    Old Mr. Marshall smiled kindly. He was much older than Old Mrs. York, and his energy could not


    compare to hers.


    He would only meet youngsters of higher status and prominence like Zachary. Ordinary people would


    not dare to disturb him.

    Guests from wealthy families gradually arrived.


    Mrs. Stone and his husband came slightlyter with their daughter. Clive and his wife were absent.


    Alice was pregnant and had terrible morning sickness. Many people were attending the banquet, so


    there were worries about someone bumping into her. Therefore, Clive strongly disagreed about his wife


    coming. He was absent as well to apany his wife back home.


    The second son of the Stone family did not do business, so he never participated in any events of the


    business world.


    Therefore, only Mr. and Mrs. Stone came with Elisa.


    They went to greet Old Mr. Marshall too.


    Old Mr. Marshall did not spot Clive and his wife, so he asked Mrs. Stone, “Why aren’t Clive and Alice


    here?”


    Mrs. Stone smiled and said, “Alice is pregnant, so it’s inconvenient for her toe over. Clive is


    apanying her at home. He told me to apologize to you in his stead for his absence tonight.”


    Old Mr. Marshallughed. “They’re all youngsters I’ve watched over as they grew up. How can I be


    petty about them noting because of their own matters? Alice being pregnant is good news. It’s


    better that she doesn’te. There are too many people here. It’ll be bad if someone bumps into her.


    “You must invite me to the baby’s sip and see shower next year.”


    Joy filled the Marshalls‘ eyes upon hearing Old Mr. Marshall’s words. They thought he would be able to


    live for several years more if he kept thinking about the Stone family’s celebration.


    Mrs. Stone smiled. “That’s for sure. You muste to my house and have a ss of celebratory wine


    to bless my grandson or granddaughter. You’re the person with the greatest fortune.”


    Tania had learned from Mrs. Marshall that Old Mr. Marshall had been unwell recently. He kept talking


    about histe spouse, who had been deceased for many years. His family was worried that his time


    would be up soon, especially since he moved his banquet up by half a year.


    It was worrisome.


    Tania joined the conversation after hearing Old Mr. Marshall talking to Mrs. Stone about the sip and


    see. She used aining tone on purpose and said to Old Mr. Marshall, “You’re only thinking about


    attending the sip and see shower for Clive’s child. Don’t you wish to attend my granddaughter’s


    celebration too?”


    Old Mr. Marshallughed. He chided Tania gently, “You’reining about me now, huh? I’ll attend


    all of them. If you have a granddaughter, I’ll definitely go to her sip and see.”


    “Just you wait. I’ll definitely have a granddaughter. I have three sons, so I’ll have three daughters–in-


    law. There’ll be one of them who’ll be able to birth a granddaughter for me.”


    Everyoneughed.


    If Old Mr. Marshall wished to attend the celebration for Tania’s granddaughter, it would probably not


    come true even if he lived for a long time.


    Who was unaware that the Yorks were like a family of monks? They only had sons and no daughters.


    Families who did not have sons were utterly jealous of the Yorks‘ ability to give birth to sons.


    However, they did not know about the fervent wish of the Yorks to have a daughter.


    That was human nature–those with sons would wish for a daughter, while those with daughters wanted


    sons. Everyone wanted to have the best of both worlds.
