agreed, “Of course, I won’t forget you tonight.” The moment I revealed my brother’s plans, she became furious and started scolding him. She mentioned that she would visit after finishing her work.
Everyone was thrilled to learn that Alice was expecting. The Hunt sisters were particularly thoughtful and gifted her numerous supplements to support her pregnancy. The Yorks also contributed generously with their presents.
No one anticipated that Alice would endure such a challenging pregnancy. “They say pregnant women crave sour foods. Why don’t you buy her something sour to see if it alleviates her vomiting?” someone suggested.
Elisa shook her head. “That won’t help her. No matter what she eats, she’ll still end up throwing it up. Usually, she starts vomiting shortly after meals. She does have an appetite, but it doesn’t make a difference.”
After witnessing her sister-in-law’s distressing pregnancy, Elisa, who was unmarried, felt traumatized by the experience. Why did men not have to endure the pains of pregnancy?
Jasmine felt out of her depth and had run out of suggestions, as she had never been married, let alone given birth. What were they supposed to do if even the doctor’s prescribed medicine proved ineffective?
Elisa waited for a while, and soon Serenity returned with Sonny. Upon learning the reason for Elisa’s visit, Serenity panicked and quickly called Zachary to inform him that she would not be delivering lunch today. She advised him to eat at Wiltspoon Hotel instead, as she needed to visit Elisa’s home.
Zachary responded somberly, “Alright, but don’t forget about me tonight.” Serenity chuckled and reassured him.
She assured her, “Don’t worry, we have the rest of our lives to spend together.”
This reassurance made Zachary feel better.
After ending the call, Zachary had a serious conversation with Clive. If Clive hadn’t reacted so dramatically, Serenity wouldn’t have needed to change her plans and make an emergency visit to the Stones.
Serenity took Sonny with her, and when she learned that her sister planned to join them, she picked up Liberty on the way. With that, the group followed Elisa to the Stones’ villa.
As they passed Remy’s villa, which was still under renovation, they noticed Remy’s car parked outside. Elisa casually mentioned to Serenity, “Remy comes by pretty often to check on the renovation progress.”
If it were her, she would have delegated such menial tasks to someone else rather than spend her time visiting daily.
Serenity replied thoughtfully, “Remy places a lot of importance on this house, so it makes sense that he wants to monitor the progress in person. Renovation is a delicate process that takes considerable time, so it’s better for him to supervise directly. This way, he can make arrangements immediately if something goes wrong, saving time and money in the long run.”
