Chapter 1296<\/div>\n
Zachary\u2019s family did not wish to burden Serenity.<\/div>\n
Mrs. Stone, Serenity\u2019s aunt and a senior member of her family, should have been showing Serenity more love and affection.<\/div>\n
\u201cAunt Audrey wasn\u2019t trying to pressure me into having a baby. Her intentions are good. We\u2019ve been a real married couple for a few months now, but I\u2019m not pregnant yet. I think it\u2019s normal for her to ask.\u201d<\/div>\n
Reaching out, Serenity squeezed his cheek and smoothed his furrowed brow. \u201cDon\u2019t make that grim face. Your frown is scary enough to frighten your timid wife. You could be a ghost for Halloween with that expression\u2014no makeup needed.\u201d<\/div>\n
Amused by her comment, Zachary flicked her forehead. \u201cHave you ever seen such a handsome ghost? If you\u2019re timid, then I doubt anyone else has nerves of steel.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cFine. I\u2019m not upset. I believe it\u2019s a private matter between us whether we want to start a family. Other people shouldn\u2019t meddle. Even my parents aren\u2019t pressuring us to have children. Nana is probably the only one who occasionally wishes for a great-granddaughter.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cNana looked forward to having a granddaughter, but I guess she can only hope for a great-granddaughter now.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity rested her head on his shoulder. \u201cI know Nana wants a great-granddaughter. That\u2019s what I wanted to discuss, babe. It\u2019s not about the gender, but I can\u2019t even get pregnant. Do you think there\u2019s something wrong with my body?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t believe the issue is with you. Oh, that reminds me: I heard that frequent sex could actually lower the chances of conceiving.\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary was momentarily speechless.<\/div>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s a problem with your health.\u201d Dismissing the part about frequency, Zachary firmly stated, \u201cWe<\/p>\n

You are fit as a fiddle. You\u2019re not pregnant yet because the time hasn\u2019t arrived. Our future child has yet to join us.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur little angel is still making their way to us. You\u2019ll have buns in the oven before we know it. Don\u2019t worry too much about it,\u201d Zachary reassured his wife, holding her tightly to prevent Serenity from blaming herself for not being pregnant yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cPregnancy can be challenging. Your cousin-in-law, Alice, has been suffering from severe morning sickness, so much so that Clive is hesitant about having a child.\u201d <\/p>\n

Not wanting Serenity to endure the same experience, Zachary said, \u201cSeren, we don\u2019t need to have a child right away. Let\u2019s cherish our time together as husband and wife for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll take you on a trip to Annenburg next weekend. We could use a break.\u201d <\/p>\n

In the end, he restrained himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, next weekend? Is it alright to take time off work?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not the only one running the company. We have a management team, and my cousins are here too. I\u2019ll only focus on the important matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlus, there\u2019s Josh too.\u201d <\/p>\n

With a smile, Serenity said, \u201cMr. Bucham and Jasmine are getting engaged. After the engagement party, the wedding preparations will keep them even busier. You promised to give Mr. Bucham a two-month marital leave.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we need to travel before his wedding,\u201d Zachary replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cSure.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity was eager to get to know Jane and Iris, believing their friendship resembled her bond with Jasmine. Since Zachary made time for a holiday in Annenburg, she was excited to go. \u201cI spoke to Remy as you asked. He has feelings for Elisa but isn\u2019t rushing to confess. He thinks Elisa hasn\u2019t really\u2026 um, moved on from the past.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity didn\u2019t sound as surprised as she thought she would be. She sighed and<\/p>\n

He replied, \u201cAunt Audrey hoped you could suggest to Mr. Johnson that Elisa wouldn\u2019t move away after marriage. I mentioned that Mr. Johnson is a great man. Although he\u2019s originally from Annenburg, he will be a permanent resident of Wiltspoon, as he bought a house here and will be neighbors with my aunt\u2019s family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAunt Audrey pointed out that this doesn\u2019t change the fact that he was born and raised in Annenburg. For all we know, Elisa could end up relocating to Annenburg.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe also wanted you to inform Mr. Johnson that she doesn\u2019t want Elisa to endure that pain again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary responded, \u201cRemy only bought the place because of Elisa. Even though he\u2019s from Annenburg, he\u2019s living permanently in Wiltspoon and has a house here as well. How different is he from a local Wiltspoonian?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be a shame if Elisa passed up on Remy.\u201d<\/p>\n
