Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 5490

A couple of days was simply not enough to go back to Wiltspoon. Even traveling by air could take nearly an entire day factoring the logistics of airport transfers, the flight itself, and journey to Wildridge Manor from the airport.

It was only now that the children were grown up and Louis could take over management of the family business that Isabella could catch a breather. Even then, she could not travel too far because there were simply too many things to worry about.

There were her two younger brothers’ marriages, then once they were married, she had to worry about her eldest’s marriage.

Worriers always had endless things to worry about.

Laurence chuckled, “That’s true.”

Laurence was all too aware of what Zachary and Serenity’s purpose was in visiting him first.

Everyone chatted for a while. When the chef-cum-bodyguard was done cooking, he exited the kitchen to inform them the food was ready.

Upper-class families like them would not chatter much during mealtimes.

After the meal, the three ladies asked Noelle to accompany them on a walk to aid their digestion.

Zachary and Laurence stayed back instead of joining the ladies in their gossip session.

It was only after the ladies were out the door that Zachary asked Laurence, “Is everything going smoothly? If you need our help, just say the word. There’s no need to be polite with us.”

“Thank you, Uncle Zack. Everything’s going fine, at least on the surface. The heirlooms are all with me. As long as I have them, they have to acknowledge I’m the head of the family no matter how unhappy they are about it.

“As for what troubles lie ahead, I don’t know, but I’m not scared. The moment I took this step, I had mentally prepared myself for trouble.

“I’ll ring you up if I need your help.”
