Chapter 3814
Unlike Josh’s cousin, Serenity’s in-laws weren’t as strict. But even Josh’s cousin had eased up on Jasmine. Jasmine was over a month further along than Serenity, and her belly showed it. Josh’s cousin had reasoned that since the baby was already well-developed, there was no need for special nutritious meals anymore. Jasmine could eat regular food, as long as she avoided junk food and anything risky for pregnant women, which Jasmine was careful about anyway. She now instinctively checked if her food was safe for her pregnancy.
People with experience always say that the first child is raised by the book, and the second one… not so much.
“Alright, let Jasmine help you eat some when the time comes,” Zachary said while clearing the table. “If you can’t eat, I won’t push you, so don’t worry.”
When Zachary cooked at home, he preferred to handle the dishes and chopsticks himself instead of leaving it to the servants. Everyone at Wildridge Manor knew that Zachary liked to live like an ordinary couple when he was alone with Serenity. Despite being the eldest son of a wealthy family, he wanted a simple, down-to-earth lifestyle. For him, this ordinary life, although plain, brought a unique happiness.
The staff at Wildridge Manor had noticed a change in Zachary ever since Serenity became part of the household. While he remained stern in front of them, they all recognized that Serenity had softened his heart. She was his vulnerability, his tender side.
Serenity’s growing influence hadn’t gone unnoticed. The staff found her more approachable and felt more comfortable speaking to her about problems. They knew that if Serenity couldn’t solve an issue, she would bring it to Zachary, and that was more effective than approaching him directly. Everyone understood that Serenity held Zachary’s heart, and being loyal to her meant securing a bright future under her leadership as the future mistress of the house.
