Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2383

After all, Wildridge Manor belonged to the Yorks; not just anyone can stay there.

Belinda stared at Caroline. If Caroline had been by her side all this while, she would have become more outstanding than she was now. Heck, she could have been chosen by Old Mrs. York to be the York family’s granddaughter-in-law.

“You’re still young. There’ll be many opportunities for you in the future. I’m old. I might not even go to Wiltspoon anymore after this.”

Caroline smiled. “You’re right. Since you’re heading there to relax, why don’t you bring Dad along? He can’t do much, but he can accompany you and make you happy.”

Belinda chided Caroline, “How can you talk about your father that way? No matter how incompetent, he’s the reason you’re even born.”

Caroline pouted. “It’s a fact. You should’ve looked for a better man back then.”

“A capable man would’ve refused to be a live-in son-in-law for our family. It’s fine if you dislike the man Hunter brought last time. I can introduce someone else to you. You can meet him and spend some time with him. That man is honest and handsome.

“He’s as good-looking as your father was in his younger days. Your children will look better if you have a better-looking spouse. Look, you and your siblings are all pretty and handsome.”

Belinda was most satisfied that her children were good-looking.

Caroline refused. “I’m busy now, Mom. Do I look like someone who has time to date? I’ll think about getting married after my position is stable. I’m not even thirty yet. Getting married after hitting thirty years of age isn’t too bad.”

“You shouldn’t get married late because giving birth would be difficult. I only had you after having three sons. If you’re like me, you’ll have to try many times. Getting pregnant at an older age is tough.

“The best case scenario would be conceiving a daughter on your first try. That way, you’ll have a successor, and the gender of your subsequent children won’t matter.”

Caroline said, “Medical technology is advanced now. I can utilize it to ensure my first child is a daughter. Wait, I can even give birth to twin daughters, which is even better.”
