Chapter 503


    “Have you met Serenity’s husband before?” Mrs. Stone asked her daughter.


    If Serenity and her sister turned out to be her nieces, Mrs. Stone, as the aunt, should assess the men


    for her nieces.


    “I’ve never met him before. He seems to be busy at work. You know only elites could join York


    Corporation, and work can get busy. I think her husband’s working in higher management, so work


    must take up a lot of his time.


    “Serenity’s expression started to soften when she talked about him. I think they’re developing feelings


    for each other.”


    Elisa did not pay an awful lot of attention to Serenity’s marriage.


    As she had loved before, Elisa could tell the subtle changes in Serenity toward her husband.


    After much thought, Elisa added, “But they have not be a real couple. Their marriage is only in


    name at present.”


    “They entered the marriage without any feelings for one another. Everything should fall into ce since


    they’re keeping the marriage in name while nurturing their rtionship. It’s rare for a couple to be so


    grounded.”


    Mrs. Stone was already taking Serenity’s side before it was confirmed that thetter was her


    niece.


    She thought Serenity’s sound judgment, independence, self–reliance, and strong will were so


    much like her.


    Meanwhile, it sounded like a car had pulled up outside the shop.


    “That must be Serenity.”


    Elisa walked out and saw Serenity.


    Since it was still raining outside, Elisa stood at the entrance and watched with a smile as Serenity got


    down from the car and approached under an umbre.


    “I’m sorry to keep you waiting, Elisa.”


    Serenity was in a good mood after clearing the air with Zachary and stopping the petty guy from


    repeating history. She could not help but smile when she came back to Elisa’s smiling


    face too.


    She shook off the raindrops on the umbre at the door and put the umbre,away before entering the


    shop with Elisa.


    “The temperature really dropped today.”


    Elisamented, “I don‘t feel cold though.”


    Her clothes might not look thick, but they were warm.

    “Serenity, this is my mom.”


    Elisa introduced her mother to Serenity.


    Serenity and Mrs. Stones locked eyes.


    Despite being hot with emotions, Mrs. Stone pulled herself together and let out a kind smile.” You must


    be Seren. Elisa often talked to me about you.”


    “Hello, Mrs. Stone,” Serenity politely greeted Mrs. Stone.


    She got her emotions in check even at the possibility that Mrs Stone might be her aunt, unlike Mrs.


    Stone who was emotional.


    She did not want to make a judgment too soon before the DNA test was done.


    “Please have a seat, Mrs. Stone. I‘ll pour you a ss of water.”


    Mrs. Stone immediately replied, “You don‘t need to, Seren. Elisa and I have been in your shop for a


    while. I got a drink here.”


    Mrs. Stone looked at the packed breakfast and insted cup on the cash register with heartache


    written in her eyes.


    “I guess you haven‘t had your breakfast, Seren. Have something to eat and then we‘ll talk after.


    “No matter what, you should have your meals on time. Don‘t let yourself go hungry.”


    Some people would be having their lunch by now.


    Mrs. Stone felt bad that Serenity had not had her breakfast.


    Elisa jumped in, “Serenity, just take my advice. I didn‘t have my meals on time back then and it didn‘t


    help with my health. It took a while for me to get better. Now, my mom will drag me out of bed for


    breakfast between seven to eight o’clock in the morning even if I were to sleep at three.”


    Mrs. Stone red at her. “You‘re one to talk.”


    Elisa stuck her tongue out cheekily. “I have no shame. Of course, I‘ll talk.” Amused, Serenityughed.
