“Zachary will be there as well. He won’t put me in an uncomfortable position.”
Mrs. Stone replied cheerfully, “I know you’re a strong woman. You won’t let anything slide. That gives me peace of mind. Although I’ve never met your in-laws, I’ve heard good things about them. They seem to be very nice people.”
Despite being from a rival family, Mrs. Stone had to admit that the Yorks were good individuals. It simply wasn’t her daughter’s fate to be part of the York family.
Thinking about Elisa’s affection for Zachary, Mrs. Stone sighed internally. Elisa was self-centered and proud, and the only man she regarded as her equal was Zachary.
However, Zachary had married Serenity. While Serenity wasn’t a poor choice, she paled in comparison to Elisa. Elisa would have been a far more fitting match for him.
What a shame…
God knew how Elisa would react upon discovering the truth. Perhaps she could accept it wholeheartedly if Serenity truly surpassed her in every aspect.
“Aunt Audrey, I’ll bring Zachary to see you when you return from your travels.”
Mrs. Stone smiled. “That sounds great. Speaking of which, I got you and Sonny some Christmas gifts. We’re about to head out, so I’ll have the butler take care of the delivery.”
She could have sent Apple cash to the sisters, but they wouldn’t accept it. Instead, she prepared bundles of cash and instructed the butler to deliver them right before the family left. This way, the sisters wouldn’t be able to return the money since the Stones would already be gone.
The butler would also deliver expensive gifts to Serenity and Liberty.
“Aunt Audrey, we’re too old for presents. Just give one to Sonny.”
“I don’t care how old you are; you’re still children in my eyes. If you don’t want the gifts, you can throw them away.”
“We’ll happily accept the gifts, Aunt Audrey.”
Could they discard the gifts from their aunt? The gifts were a thoughtful gesture from Aunt Audrey. After the call, Mrs. Stone entrusted the presents to the butler for delivery to Brynfield, as Liberty might still be residing with Serenity.
